I am freaking productive today

Here is a list of things I do most days:
* Wake up by noon.
* Sit on the couch in my pajamas playing on the internet.

Here is a list of things I have done today:
* Woke up at 8.
* Got dressed.
* Went to the library to return books.
* Went to the post office to mail stuff.
* Went to the grocery store to stock up in case it snows.
* Called and made a doctor appointment.
* Cleaned out the fridge.
* Went to Old Navy and got new clothes for me and the baby.
* Went to the yarn store and used the gift certificate my mom gave me for Christmas.
* Went to Starbucks.
* Called and cancelled an order that supposedly shipped 2 months ago that I haven't received yet.
* Ate homemade French Onion Soup that I made last night after I mopped and vacuumed the floor. O_o
* Found and ordered a crib that coordinates with our other furniture.
* Found possible flights for a vacation to Phoenix in a couple months.

Later today I plan on making some salmon with lemon caper sauce.  And I'll either go to yoga or spin some pink yarn or start knitting some socks.  Probably the spinning.

It's craziness around here today!

20 weeks

This week I did lots and lots of spinning, and finished making 2-ply silk yarn I've had on the wheel since I lived in Iowa. It's 254 yds and 32g which I think is pretty good, or something. It's really shiny!




It's been snowing a lot sort of. I made a snowman to show Lindsey before she left for Mexico. The snow covered the snowman up to his midsection by the end of the day, but it melted the next day. Today I woke up at 7:45 and was surprised to see that the whole world was white, but I went back to sleep and by the time I woke up again it was almost completely gone.


Oh yeah, I'm getting really, really huge. My clothes don't fit. :(  On the plus side, everything looked good at the doctor this week.  Ooh, and we probably have a name.  We're not gonna tell you till she's born though.

She's moving around a little bit now. It feels really, really weird.

Everyone's having girls

Yay ultrasounds! Everyone I know who is pregnant is having a girl, including me! Now I guess we have to think of girl names...




That's what I looked like a week ago, at 17 weeks. I can't believe I'm almost halfway there.

I made molten chocolate cake. I'm pretty much crazy hungry all the time, and molten chocolate cake is yummy. Win!

Plants

I don't really have a garden this year.  I was so excited to finally live in a place with a backyard so I tried to go outside one of the first days I lived in Arkansas and measure for a raised bed garden, but after 2 minutes I had been bitten by so many mosquitoes I literally had trouble breathing (which sucked).  So I took some Zyrtec (which totally works for making mosquito bites itch less, in case you are in a similar situation) and scrapped that idea.

However, in our (not at all spiteful) quest to take everything from our Iowa house (like cf lightbulbs from every socket, and the fancy lightswitches that Sean had installed), I took the planters that had a couple seeds in them and plopped them in the new backyard. When looking at them through the back window, they seem to still be alive.  In the foreground are a couple bell pepper plants, and in the back is a lettuce plant that I actually have no intention of eating.  I'm pretty sure by this point it would taste terrible.  But since it's pretty much all I am growing I love it just the same.

Except for the occasionally absurd wind (maybe you can see how the bigger pepper plant sort of has a zig-zag in it, from being blown over at one point), the southern rain storms and heat make it so I haven't had to water them or tend them in the slightest.  Which is great, since I don't go in the backyard. There are fireants out there, dude.

I miss my friends. And my music, which was on my computer that died.

Here is a kitten picture.
