It's a....

GIRL!!

 

I’ve got lots of thoughts running through my head and projects to write about, but no time to spit it all out.  Please be patient with me!  Thanks!!!

Growing

I was so excited when one evening I saw a couple shoots in the area where I planted my bulbs last fall. I’m not an experienced gardener, but I do have aspirations, and it was exciting to see any sign of growth. I went out the next morning to take photographic evidence of my success and found this.

I don’t know if it was a rabbit, squirrel or some other rodent, but at least the left me one intact shoot.

Since then I have seen even more pop up and these have continued to grow. They just look like they had a little haircut. I’m still anxiously waiting any signs of blooms. The bulbs in the pot on the deck haven’t shown any sign of life, so I think I should have let them winter in a more protected area, say the garage. I may give them a few more weeks, but if nothing pops up I’ll chock it up to a lesson learned and plant a few annuals in that pot.

Speaking of popping, my belly has finally started to get that pregnant look, instead of that she ate too many Girl Scout Cookies look. Most of my normal tops still fit, I like my winter stuff loose, but I had to give up my regular pants a long time ago.

And can I just say that snow in April is just WRONG! At least we just got a dusting instead of the many inches others got

It is Spring!

I feel like I am coming out of a long dark tunnel, in more ways than one. Spring is here! The days are warmer and longer and the birds are singing in the morning. And I am feeling much better! I was sick from early January through end of February. And I have spent the last month catching up on all the things I didn't get done during those two months. I was sick because I am...

Pregnant! Wooo Hooo! We are so very excited, but it is hard to be excited when morning sickness decides to become all day sickness. I finally started feeling much better around week 12 and am just now starting to get my energy back. I don't want to focus on how horrible I felt, but will just leave it at this, I lost 10 pounds and couldn't pick up any knitting.

I am due September 9th and next week will be 16 weeks along. I'm starting to show, but not much. We are going to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Both sides of the family are very excited. And we have so much to do before the baby comes!
