On appreciating

Posted on | August 16, 2011 | 5 Comments

Excuse the blogging holiday, my friends.  I have been busy working and living, finding less time to get to the computer these days.  But alas, I will provide you with a short and sweet update.

Right now, I am:

Preparing for a road trip to Glacier National Park in the morning.  And by preparing I mean sitting in here having a midnight snack while the lovely and oh so talented b packs the car.

Feeling the babe wiggle.  For reals.  It's been occasionally since 13 weeks, but now at 16 weeks tomorrow she (or he!) is making it a hourly habit.  Have I mentioned we are in LOVE?  Every single day feels like a miracle.

Reminiscing about the births I've seen this past week.  Beautiful, strong mommas that prepared for their births and delivered beautiful babies.  It makes the job worth it.

Thinking I should go pack a bag, seeing that we leave in 8 hours (sleep included in there somewhere).

Appreciating my chickens.  We're getting about 4-5 eggs a day, and I am loving the daily task of egg collecting and discovering their personalities.

Grateful that a frightening episode of spotting my entire fourteenth week has resolved.  After many worries and tears, all is well & it was simply old blood from the other sac.

Grateful for a supportive, amazing husband that can deal with my ever changing emotional state.

Thinking my bed is calling my name.  After all, it is the last night I will sleep on a comfortable mattress in a week.

Sleep tight, friends.  xo.
