Random Tidbits.
Loving and/or inspired by:
Sometimes the longing to live closer to my parents and family strikes real sudden and acute. It did today during Ever's bathtime. I guess I'm thankful for the feeling itself, glad to have a wonderful family to miss. But sad that I can't do much about it, at least for now. Maybe a long visit next fall will need to be pencilled in. Until then....
- Feeling the baby kick a lot! Baby seems to especially respond to Ever talking to it and blowing raspberries (or helicopters as she calls them) on my burgeoning belly.
- This blog post. Seems so familiar to my thinking and my lists...
- The way Ever randomly mentions Jesus on a daily basis.
- Our new kitchen remodel that's in the works. Today the floor got ripped up. Tomorrow the counter is coming out. Progress!
- Fresh Valentine's flowers in the house and a Christmas cactus that decided to hold out and be a Valentine's beauty too.
- Baby crafting and birthdays coming up.
- The marketing of baby DVD's when babies aren't even supposed to watch television before they are 2 years old.
- The marketing of baby bath products when they really aren't that good for most of them either.
- For the first time I like the way I look naked better than clothed. Very strange. Although I'm thinking maybe this is something common in pregnant woman and explains all the nude maternity photos women share?!? Hmm....
