Sweetness

My sweet mama bought me this shirt.

Isn't she cute?

Have a great weekend friends.

We have big plans.

Birthdays,

Bluegrass,

&

Beach

Can't wait.

Hooray!

I made this for our baby.

A banner that says, "Hooray."

Kyle laughed because he said who says Hooray...

I think it's sweet and a lil' old fashion.

Like me.

(Although I wish I was creative enough to think of this banner...a seller on etsy has the market on the Hooray banners. They are beautiful and made with vintage fabrics, but they are $30 and I made my beauty for $10 & I put my own twist on it!)

Nothing better than some good ol' fashion baby love.

Mornings

The mornings are so beautiful.
I wake up to the sun shining on my face thru a crack in my curtains.

I look around.
To see my lil' one fast asleep by my feet.
And my husband to my left, snoring soundly.

I am thankful.

All the hard work and love in between these walls, almost too much to grasp at times.

"He gave me all this?"
Willingly and with love.

But then I have these moments of sadness.
I wouldn't be human if I didn't.
Sadness for friendships I've lost over the years or
regret about distant relationships.
Or that I have the hardest time building new relationships.
For fear that they won't like "me" once they get to know "me."

But those thoughts aren't real.
And have learned it's just sin working it's way in to distract me.


Because we are loved.
He is good.
And I remember, I am so thankful for "all this."

Hunger

Carrot Cake Cookies?

stuffed with frosting...

I don't think there could be anything better than you?

I think I will "attempt" to bake you tonight (although my kitchen prowess is definitely not good when it comes to baking...my cookies are flat when they should be fluffy??)

Now I am hungry...

Growing Grass

Saturday I had another ultrasound.

I had a "man tech"...he was impatient:

move to the left, move to the right, face me, tuck this into your underwear?...

am I wrong for just wanting a girl?


But in the end he got this lil' gem for me.


So it was worth it.

There is something so pure & innocent about an ultrasound...it's like taking a peek into Heaven.

Now if we could only name this beautiful baby???

Yes, Please.

I am dying to see this movie.
Do you think my husband would go with me?
If not, we should go?

By the way, the soundtrack is amazing.
