I am jealous. Simple beautiful jealousy. You have so much beauty to fill you life, and now you just got more! Congratulations, may God continue to fill your life with blessings.
Wow! Thank you all. :) I am due Feb 15th or there abouts. 6 wks tomorrow. I will have two winter babies and two summer babies. How crazy is that?
Right now I am concentrating on food (I know... you all say "how odd"... but really, it's a chore with 'all day sickies') Working on making meals so I don't have to for the next 4 months because classically, they are REALLY REALLY hard on me. With Logan, I ate McDonalds a lot and watched 10 years worth of Friends (because my hubby doesn't cook and was in two academies during my 42 wk pregnancy). It wasn't pretty. This time around, my husband can make all sorts of good mac and cheese combinations (Gnocchi with Gorgonzola and Leek and Peppers in noodles with fresh Mozzarella are just a few), and my teen can make breakfast like a pro. That, teamed up with freezer meals that I am making with friends and I should be all set for much less junk than last time.
I am working it out... but we freaked for a couple of days. Logan is potty trained. We kinda cried a lot. But slowly but surely, we are coming around to the idea, and enjoying the potential in the beauty of this surprise.
Congratulations! Hope the first trimester is kind to you, the second one fun, and the third allows you to get some sleep before you bring that beautiful child into the world.
Oh, congrats! I love all of the pictures, too. Our heat wave is finally here and our lettuce is just about done.
I did lots of prenatal yoga, drank raspberry leaf tea, did aromatherapy and got pregnancy massages throughout my last pregnancy and had a pleasurable home waterbirth. I hope that you have a peaceful, powerful and pleasurable birth, too! :)
Val, How wonderful! Many blessings to you and your family. I wish you a safe, healthy, happy pregnancy. You're a pro at this point :-) Your garden looks lovely and your children happy. Have a great day!
I came over to visit and get caught up to see what I've missed while I was away in VT and NH and OH MY GOODNESS... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I am so thrilled for you guys!!! Hope you are starting to feel better now, and I was so sorry to hear you were down with the flu... Hopefully the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly. Sending lots of good thoughts and big hugs your way!!
The first day of a heat wave (77* Whohooo!)
Hundreds of snow pea flowers, all in a row.
