Monday Musings

The sun is up earlier than usual this morning, and it is so bright that I don't even need a light on!  It's amazing what that can do for a soul on a Monday.  There is a lot on my mind this morning, and I am filled with a motivation to begin again.  Breakfast has been served AND cleaned up, Laundry has been sorted AND put in the washer, Scriptures AND prayers have been read, and both me and my boy are DRESSED (granted my idea of an outfit today is yoga pants and a hoodie...but still. :).  It's freezing outside, but the air is crisp and friendly, and I am grateful for the illusion that spring is just around the corner. (T-4 months.)

Anyway, here's an update on what's been happening:

Yesterday, when getting ready for church, I looked in the mirror and thought--"oh my gosh this shirt makes me look pregnant!"  then I realized..I AM pregnant.  It's amazing to me how this fact is still sinking in.  With Dallin, it seemed like every day, I was examining my belly, willing it to get bigger!  But with this baby, I have yet to have this realization that another child is on the way.  Don't get me wrong, I am excited, but I think I am also having apprehensions about mothering 2 children. I don't know if it's a good thing, bad thing, or just normal, but I am still getting used to the idea.
Maybe its the fact that anytime I sit down to research my new little one, a little child comes and pounds on my keyboard-- Or it could be that any time I try to sit down and read 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' a little boy somehow manages to rip a page out, or bust his lip on a door frame, or run out of the cheerios that he's eating, or have a diaper that needs to be changed or I will throw up, or find a story that HAS to be read RIGHT NOW, or just do something so adorable that I can't help but put down the book/laptop, and kiss every inch of his face.  Anyway, we didn't take a picture (again, so different than Dallin's pregnancy...lol.) but we sure did smile when we looked at that little belly popping out, thinking of our little naval orange wiggling and kicking around in there.  We love you little orange. :)

The weather was nice enough (a balmy 33 degrees) that we got out this weekend.  I didn't many pictures, but I think this one sums it up.

 Dallin was so happy to be outside he refused to even look at me.  But we ran and played until we couldn't feel our noses, toes, or fingers anymore.

Life is good.  We are blessed.
