Making Everything Right In The World ...

Sometimes when I've had a bad-for-no-reason-and-busy-at-work-and-on-the-verge-of-tears day I just need to come home and lie down for 20 minutes with a warm eye pillow (smelling of lavender) and then I just need my little boy to come bustling in and give me a quick hug before he runs off to play with friends and then I just need my husband to come home from work with a beautiful bouquet of flowers (just like he did every Monday when we were dating) and take me in his arms and whisper to me that he adores me and that I am gorgeous and that he needs me and that he loves our little family more than anything on this Earth ...

And sometimes that is exactly what I get.
And sometimes that is all I need to feel rejeuvenated and thankful for all the amazing blessings I have been given in my life.

I am:

- wearing a sweater and my little belly is sticking out
- eating everything in sight (and only gaining ONE POUND in 5 months!! Woohooooo!)
- falling in love with my husband more and more all the time
- thankful that the little bebe inside me is healthy
- grateful for an amazing mom and stepdad and mother-in-law and father-in-law
- glad I have a new camera to capture some of the funniest moments I have ever seen
- proud of my son, who is growing up to be a smart, funny, and kind little man
- excited for Christmas
- feeling the baby kick all day long, and loving it
- going to be good (in regards to my last post: "tomorrow's another day, and I'm thirsty anyway, so bring on the rain")
- happy at my job
- lucky that my husband got me such an amazing Christmas present (yes, we exchanged gifts already -- my fam isn't great at waiting for that part ahahaha)

I Want to Wear a Hoodie.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for the shit to hit the fan.
Or for the rain.
Or for the damage control I will inevitably have to do, even though it's not me who did something wrong.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to feel shitty.
I don't know if I can stop this worry-train I'm on.
I'm not sure if I believe that it won't reflect badly on me.
Or if I believe I won't magically lose friends over it.

But I am sure of this: I could tuck myself away in my new house with my husband and my son and my soon-to-come little baby and I could never come out and I could drink tea and eat cheese and pickles and cream puffs and I would be happy staying like that for a very long time. Or at least until the storm outside is over.

A Blissful Weekend Away ...

After a blissful four-day weekend away with MyLove, I have compiled a list of thoughts from the experience:

- good idea to bring more than a vest for warmth when travelling to the Rockies.

- my husband (MyLove) and I are pretty good at making up lyrics for the song "Dirty Ass Cass" that he originally wrote with one of his friends. It's one of those songs that gets in your head and you find yourself singing it out loud.

- Grey's Anatomy is one of the most boring, most pointless, and biggest waste of time I have ever seen. Boring characters, cliche plots, mindless drumble, blah blah blah. I couldn't even get through the first season!

- We miss Boy a lot when we're gone.

- when our best friends met us there for a day and night, we had the most amazing time. She is pregnant, and only a week behind me ... We had the greatest time. AND I was happy to discover that my best friend hates Grey's Anatomy too. How wonderful. Too bad they live so stinkin' far away. (Note: We will have a year of maternity off together = lots of visiting, I'm sure)

- I am so excited about Christmas. I am more excited for next Christmas, though, because a new house and new bebe makes it all the funner.

- a year after I married MyLove, I realize I love him just as much or more than when we had our private and intimate gathering and said our written vows to each other (and his to Boy). I love him for more reasons than I ever could have known. And we are good for each other.

I Do Say ...

My idea of exercise is a nice brisk sit.

New & Improved!

I have perhaps found the greatest diet plan of all time. It includes being pregnant and eating everything in sight.

Example:
Wide-eyed-Waitress, to me: "so bruschetta to start, and then tortellini with alfredo sauce and with melted cheese on top? Ooookay ..."

In the last month I have only gained a pound. And the kicker is that this month I wore my shoes when my doctor weighed me, and last month I didn't!

I love food! ... Now, what's for dinner?
