Bed rest led me to many a random thought.
For example, why are there so many shows about death on tv these days? Or how come my right middle toe is longer than my left middle toe? Or even, I think I can make out a smiley face in the texture on my ceiling...
I also reflected on many of the things that bring me joy while I am laid up... hopefully ending today!
So I sumbit a celebration of 4 things that make me happy right now:
1. Heating Pads- I have one electric and 2 rice bags for the microwave. I've developed specific placement for all 3 that maximize relief. It's odd, but effective.
2. Rachel Ray's Turkey Spanikopita Burgers: a-may-zing! I made them on Monday night and am still dreaming of them. They are full of turkey, spinach, onion, feta and a delicious red pepper cucumber sauce. Oh, how I loved them!
3. Costco- I love my new couch! I love everything Costco sells. Daddy and I often say,
"if Costco has it, we want it". Costco has provided hours of fun for our family on Sunday's after church as well as the necessary supplies of a new family- diapers and formula. How I miss walking your aisles...
4. Feeling my baby boy kick- he is really really strong!
The baby's room is far from done. Weird since Pinkie's room was done 3 months before she arrived. I'm feeling a little guilty and stressed about this discrepancy.
Oregon has been having amazing weather (minus the hail/snow called for in the next few hours). We decided to head out Saturday for some outdoor fun and found it at the McMenamins Grand Lodge's birthday party. Love it there.
They had face painting and a balloon guy, a band and lots of food and drink. It was a great time and all for free! Pinkie was enthralled by the balloon guy and he made her a special pair of Tinkerbell wings. What else could a 2 year old wearing a Tink shirt want???
And here's the picture I want but oh, so don't want.... 31 weeks pregnant with Baby John.

This pregnancy seemed physically harder, but less emotional. Last week I started having serious pains in my hips, back and pelvic region. I just thought it was being 6 months preggo and standing all day while teaching. But, by Friday, I knew something worse was wrong.
