I love to eat pot roast. It’s one of my favorite dishes. I had never made it myself until a few weeks ago. It turned out okay, but I still contend that food tastes better when someone else makes it for you! It sure looked delicious sitting on our new dining room table (which we’ve been getting much use out of lately because I’ve been cooking!).
Now that I am looking most undeniably pregnant, I get lots of comments & questions from people. “When are you due?”, “Is this your first?”, “You are so big!”, stuff like that. But today I got one I’ve never heard before:
“What happened, did you have an allergic reaction to something?”
That’s just darn funny, not to mention a nice change from all the standard questions.
Seriously, where has my blogging motivation gone? It disappeared somewhere in my first trimester.
These days have been flying by. Work has been both busy and stressful and I am really looking forward to having the time off when the baby comes. That will be a busy and stressful time but it will be much different, mainly because there will be a cute baby involved. At least I hope he’s cute. I guess I’ll love him the same either way.
Last weekend Heather and Sarah came over to help me organize the baby stuff we have received so far. I have the best friends ever!! Now everything is categorized and in bins. It’s still in the living room, but at least there is some order to it. I was so overwhelmed by it all that I know I couldn’t have done it myself. I would have given up way too early.
I had a baby shower a couple of weeks ago that went really well. It was for my family, put on by family, and it was a great time. Mom and Kari have posted pictures, so check them out. I have another shower with my friends a week from Saturday and I am so excited for it. The best part of these showers is getting to see all these people I haven’t seen in awhile. And also I’m just blown away at everyone’s generosity. We are so blessed.
I’ve been cross-stitching for the last few weeks. It seems to occupy my mind better than crocheting or knitting, so it’s been a good stress reliever. I’m working on the Christmas ornaments I started years ago. I hope that’s not what brought the snow in April. If it is, I apologize. But it’s probably not because really I don’t hold that kind of power. God does, but I don’t think his sense of humor is that twisted.
in SNOW. The wind is ferocious and the snow is coming down frozen (aka freezing rain), making for a painful walk to the mailbox. Ugh. A co-worker and I were discussing the possibility that the seasons have all shifted and that we need to change the official dates – e.g., change the first day of spring from March 21st to April 21st. I have always thought March 21st was a little early to start spring. Global warming my a**. It is cold!
