Confessions

Clearly, I'm bad at blogging (so I won't even bother to confess that).  But life is getting a little less insane, so I'm going to try and pick it back up.  But we'll start with an easy one, a list.

1. I sometimes eat chocolate or cupcakes or anything with a lot of sugar.  Because it's delicious.  And because it makes Gunner KICK!  Which is really really fun.  :)

2. I'm nervous about a lot of things when it comes to pregnancy, but one that I haven't really confessed to anyone is that I'm most nervous about sharing this little boy with the world.  He's mine (all mine!) right now.  And I know he'll always be my baby and I'll always be his Momma, but it'll be different when other people can hold him and feed him and take care of him.  So I will relish this time when it's just me doing it.  Even if I sometimes do it by eating sweets to entertain myself with his dancing.

3. I "worked from home" yesterday afternoon.  And got approximately one email and one short phone call taken care of.

4. I'm finally moving into the land of the 21st century!  IPhone for me tomorrow.  I'm excited!  :)

5. I have not been one of those adorable pregnant women who takes a picture of her belly every week to see how much she's changed.  But I do have a ridiculous (RIDICULOUS) husband who takes "belly" photos with me like this:

It's admittedly old - from March 24th.

6. I keep adding things, then moving things, then deleting things from our baby registries.

7. And I just realized that I never told you all (one) that we found out the sex of the baby.  Which, you may have figured out by now...Gunner is a boy.  And Gunner is NOT going to be this little man's name, for the record.

Happy almost Memorial Day!!!

For Unspoken Reasons

I need a little pick-me-up.  It's been a fantastically full few weeks with family and friends.  Lots of good food, good stories, good house-projects complete (THANK YOU!).  But Sunday I had a 2 minute snippet of hell.  And I can't stop thinking about it.  And I'm not ready to talk about it (not sure if I ever will in cyberspace).  But suffice it to say I was, and am, upset and hurt.

SO.

I'm going to really make an effort to change my attitude and mindset.  Today, on Post Secret, I read about 1000 Awesome Things.  And I decided I want to start a list of Awesome Things.  It may not reach 1000. It may not even reach past this post, but here are some of the things that I think are AWESOME.

1. Cherry blossom petals flying across the sky like snow.
2. Sammy's love for her bunny.
3. Having someone bring you a nice cold glass of {insert beverage here}
4. Sharing hand lotion with Mom when I've gotten too much.
5. Holding hands.

Despite bad moments, life is AWESOME.

What's on your AWESOME list?

Happy Birthday Brub!

To the BEST big brother in the world...

HAPPY 30 YEARS!!!

Love you.  :)

Nutritious AND Delicious

Tonight, eating "well" during this pregnancy looked a bit like this:

And by "a bit" I mean EXACTLY.  Plus the ever beneficial seltzer water.

I really should get to the grocery store...
