a plethora of tidbits about our life lately – and a giveaway winner

 

Okay – so this little blog post is about to be fast and furious. My Pepsi buzz is about to run out, which means the little bit of brain function I have left is about to skidoodle out of here as well.

{and don’t judge the pregnant woman drinking Pepsi, K? I could not have made it home from work, cleaned up, cooked dinner, ran to church, taught a class of energetic 4-year-olds, come home, eat the dinner I cooked earlier but didn’t get to taste, walk the dog and NOW blog… so yes, every now and then, I need my caffeine jolt – pregnant or not.}

 

 

Speaking of the 4 year old bible class I’m teaching – I’m learning  a lot about kids from this class, including the fact that I know much more about dogs than children. Do they mind when I make the same funny noises to get their attention that I do to call my dog? I don’t think so. And hey – it works. Though I still can’t get them to sit as well as I can with the dog…

 

 

So what’s new, you say?

 

A few things:

 

Last Friday, Houston and I began our journey into the 6 month of this pregnancy. Which officially sounds somewhat far along to me. Which officially started my “OhMyGosh I haven’t been reading the baby books and the nursery is still a guest bedroom/junk room and I have nothing even remotely ready for this child!!!”

Join me in my anxious panic, will you? I have to say it’s a fun one because even in the swirl of chaos that is getting ready for this baby and the unknown, I am so full of joy and excitement.

Livin’ large from the front these days too:

 

 

 

New to the pregnancy journey this month: absolute brain farts and carpal tunnel.

My brain has officially left the building, folks. If it were still here, I could reminisce with you over all the stupid things I’ve done lately, but I can’t quite remember all of them. One that’s still fresh in my memory… changing clothes after work to go walk the dog and realizing just before stepping out that I forgot to put on any pants.

True story.

As for the carpal tunnel, my hands decided to swell a bit last week which apparently puts some pressure on that carpal tunnel thingy making my hands and wrists ache and tingle – does that happen to let me off the hook for not blogging much lately?

 

 

I also had my “first Mother’s Day” this week which I was pleasantly surprised with since foolish me thought I wouldn’t have a first Mother’s Day till my child arrived on the scene. Go figure?!

Let me tell you ladies, my husband set the bar high for all Mother’s Days to come. I’m not sure he thought it through to that point, but I was one happy woman! Breakfast in bed, then lunch brought to my work, the exact dinner I asked for when I got home followed with frozen yogurt at Orange Leaf. It was perfection.

{BTW – Nick wanted to take me out to dinner, but I told him I was dying for a bowl of Lucky Charms. This is why I said “exact dinner I asked for” even though he thought I was insane!}

I may have even been lavished with orchids, my favorite double doozie cookie from the American Cookie Company, AND a diamond necklace.

 

Get back, ladies – HE’S MINE!! ;)
