Currently...

I saw this on a friend's blog and thought it would be fun to do. This is random, but will give you a glimpse into my life today. :)
------------------------------------
Currently... aside from blogging, I am doing laundry, dishes, and cleaning the bathrooms. Not all at once, but working through all of them to get caught up today.

Listening to... www.abidingradio.com (Sacred mix)

Reading... "Shepherding a Child's Heart" by Ted Tripp; several other baby books a little at a time; Isaiah

Eating... an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and a glass of milk for an afternoon snack. :)

Cooking... tacos for dinner before church. This is a definite favorite of ours!

Dreaming... about when our baby boy will be here. Also, other random strange dreams that come with pregnancy. :)

Running... ummmmm....NOT. Unless you count running from the car to the ATM a couple of weeks ago. That was a necessity due to a very limited time schedule.

Feeling... sleepy due to pregnancy, but otherwise really good! Oh, I'm also feeling quite large at 22 weeks. Haha. :)

Missing... my Mom and my siblings and wanting a reunion really bad. Games, food, conversation, etc. are in order when we next see each other.

Wanting... to put the nursery together, but learning patience as it is currently our office and I also don't have much to put in the nursery just yet.

Wearing... cleaning clothes! Black shorts and green shirt that I don't mind get dirty while cleaning my home.

Pinning... most recently it has been pins of baby ideas. Crafts, picture ideas, etc.

Learning... how to use my time more effectively. It is very easy to just sit and do very little during the day while Ben is gone. I'm trying to write down several things that need to be done and cross them off one by one so I feel that I accomplished something during the day.

Enjoying... the weather (minus the constant clouds and rain) since it isn't too cool and isn't too hot. Perfect!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

A couple of months ago we planted a few items in our one area of dirt in our yard. We planted tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. Here are a few pictures taken today of our lovely little garden. I'm thankful things are growing for us!

My lovely flowers! One kind didn't make it, but the rest are doing well.

Tomatoes

Corn!

Sweet Potatoes

Another shot of our corn. Probably what I'm most excited about!

19 Weeks


Here is a picture of baby and me at 19 weeks. Dude is starting to noticeably move (at least to me, but not to Ben yet) and it is so wonderful to feel him move around inside! We go back to the doctor for our next check up on the 15th, but everything seems to be going well! :) Here are some more of the ultrasound pictures taken recently.

Little Arms

Legs crossed (feet on the left)

Full body - "I'm a BOY!"

You have to look at this picture by tilting your head to the left.
You'll see his nose, lips, and chin. :)
