Chickpea and I had a much-needed mother/daughter date yesterday. We joined some friends at Sweet Berry Farms for berry picking and a picnic.

The pros: Good time chatting on the road just us; a basket full of blackberries – more than we know what to do with.

The cons: 90+ degree weather while 37 weeks pregnant, in direct sun, with lots of bending down, heavy lifting, and swollen ankles.

We had a great time, but by the time we got home, I was so tired I was literally shaking. My feet were unrecognizable and I was dizzy with exhaustion.

Yeah, that’s the last time I pick blackberries at 8 months pregnant.
