random thoughts!!!!

Well, this week has given me a tease for spring. I know the temps are suppose to be going back down, but this week has been in the 50's and it has felt so good. I don't know why spring rejuvinates me so much. I don't know if it is because I'm finally feeling better (no morning sickness) or if it really is the springish weather, but I have had so much more energy and excitement to do things again. I feel like myself a bit more.

I have been getting excited for a week from tomorrow. I get to have my ultrasound in a week and It really is a bright spot to look forward to. I'm excited to find out the gender of this baby and start doing some things--making quilts, buying clothes, etc, etc. :) For some reason this helps get me through the rest of the pregnancy. It will also be nice to hopefully see that everything is o.k. with the baby. I think I always worry a bit about the baby i'm carrying, so hopefully we will find all well.

I've been thinking a lot about my little family. I feel so blessed and grateful for the amazing little and big people in my life. D is my best friend and I miss him so much when he has trips or other things. I seriously can't wait until we get to spend ALL day EVERY day together. I love laughing with him, talking with him, being active with him (when I'm not pregnant), etc. He truly is the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. Being a mom is hard work. I worry, I think, I work, I solve MANY problems each day that range from personal relationships to physical anomoles. With all that said, my kids are amazing. They make me smile, laugh, and cry. :) They constantly amaze me at what they think and do. I feel soooo lucky and blessed to be their mom. Sometimes I feel the energy levels need to be swapped around a bit, but being tired is well worth it.

I'm getting old--I like to watch the news, I'm interested in how the economy is doing, I think about things that will affect my body and mind, I realize that I'm not immune to 'bad' things, I like to sit and 'visit', I don't care what others think of me and the decisions I make, I'm getting gray hair and wrinkles, I listen to weird music and I can't dance (but I think I can). ..... And yet, I'm happy with where I am in life. I feel comfortable with who I am and I'm grateful for that.

I would LOVE another vacation to Hawaii right now. Isn't this beautiful!!! :)

Well, with that said, I will end my night with a bowl of cereal (I LOVE cereal and my pregnant body is hungry) and hopefully a good night sleep!!! :)
