Noah takes after his daddy! He munched down those creamy carrots like they were creamy candy. With whipped cream on top. And ice cream in the middle. Then that kid wouldn't stop eating. growth spurt? maybe.
Well, that's is for now.

hump day
happy Wednesday, er'body!
As I type this, I sit on the living room floor with my back against the chair I usually sit in and my legs straight out in front of me. The back of my legs are hurting from the slight stretch I'm putting them through.It makes me realize how un-flexible I am. :(
Last night, we watched Glee. I was really excited about it, but this episode kinda let me down. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't awesome. I have come to demand awesomeness from my television nowadays, and if the channels cant deliver, I turn it off. so there.
This morning at Walmart I bought green beans, carrots, apples and bananas. For Noah. ( =D !!!!!) Today I plan on trying out the carrots. We will soon find out if Noah's pallet takes after mommy or daddy, though I will have you all know that I ate a plethora of carrots, broccoli, green beans, and strange, crunchy slices of a white vegetable. Maybe that was scallions? What is a scallion?
Ooo, I got's to go get Noah up, It's time to eat!

blustery day
This morning Stephan pulled on a sweatshirt before heading out to work. Even inside, I can almost smell the crisp coolness that accompanies lower temperatures. After months of searing and oppressive temperatures I must say, I don't think I'm ready. Last night, I stepped outside to let in the dogs and I shivered. Shivered. I was excited and saddened at the same time. I've been urging the cooler weather to come for weeks, yet now that it's here, I want it to be just a bit warmer. Maybe a mild and sunny 72 or something. This sudden drop to the 50's is almost jarring. I'm not complaining, though it might sound like I am.I anticipate the coming months with great excitement because I get to celebrate this holiday season with a baby! Noah's going to help mommy and daddy pick out a pumpkin and bake pies and then select a Christmas tree and watch from a safe distance as it is decorated! I guess I'm just gonna have to suck it up an take the changing seasons like a big girl, because I am way to happy to let these times be ruined by a foul mood.
I did wake up tired this morning. Today, my goals are to clean the house up, take a nap and then work out, in that order. Clean house: check. After I hit "post" I'm going to give my baby a bath and then both of us are going to snuggle down for a nap. This time, I will not be distracted by anything. I WILL NAP! (my planned naps usually don't happen for one reason or another.)
BSF tonight! yay God!

I wanna build a box apartment in my yard.
That is a quote from Stephan Du Toit. He and my grandmother are scheming again. Those two together are dangerous. Entrepreneurs extraordinaire, my husband and paternal grandmother both love concocting fantastic ideas. Sometimes, they're not even plans to make money, but just to do something great. It is inspiring and funny at the same time.
Once again, the Cowboys are playing and we are at my parents' place. Surprisingly, the Cowboys are AHEAD this time. *GASP!* It's Noah's nap time and he's watching the mobile in the crib mom and dad bought for their nursery. He's not acting sleepy in the least, but he'll get there. hopefully. He DID take a fantastic nap in church this morning. I just might be able to assist in the worship team again. That excites me.
Now, friends, I am going to take a nap. maybe.

My my, how time flies.
I mentioned in a previous post my childhood dream to own a horse, si?
I have to confess something new to you, my readers, there is another childhood dream. One that is even more fantastic and oh, so much more unobtainable. I have, for as long as I can remember, wanted to be a Disney princess. I know, I know, how has this not happened for you, you all might wonder in honest confusion. After all, I'm not terrible on the eyes (I admit humbly) and I have a great, broadway-suited singing voice as well as a boisterous stage presence. I even have most every song that has been sung by every current Disney princess trapped in my memory. Seriously. Try me, and you will be impressed with how many musical numbers I can burst into dramatically. Those that endure my presence for extended periods of time know that I have an uncanny skill of tying random words and actions into song. All in all, I think it was pretty obviously meant to be. So why has it not happened?
My goodness gracious, it's Thursday. Where'd the week go? Tomorrow, my beloved and I, as well as our progeny, will be attending our Sunday school's monthly social. Yay! I thoroughly enjoy those things. I have, however, forgotten what we signed up for. No, wait! desserts! We're to bring desserts. I remember because Stephan wanted to take fondue. We'd call it Stephan-due. (HA) We're not gonna. I'm making cookies from scratch, ya'll! Opps, time to feed the baby. Type to ya'll later, gators!

some observations
It is on the days when the sun is brightest that one forgets, loses, or otherwise does not have their sunglasses.
According to Hollywood, no matter what geographic region or point in time you are from, if you are not American, you have a British accent.
Comb-overs are NEVER effective, nor do they EVER look good.
Cats crave attention when their owners are least able to give it.
Houses never stay clean.
whoever said it takes more muscles to frown than to smile was wrong. It does take more effort to show those pearly whites, but it's also easier than drawing the corners of your mouth down to a frown. Heck, if more people smiled more often, this world would be a friendlier place.
and finally,
God never fails. ever. Wow, how He comes through for us in His perfect timing!

FINALLY
Well, friends, I finally got them! Our maternity pictures. Now that Noah's been here for four months, I really don't know what to do with them.
They turned out perfectly! Noah came the week after these pictures were taken, so poor Kayla didn't have the time to get them to me before he got here. I was planning on having my favorites framed and put up somewhere. Now I guess I'll put them in a photo album.
A little back story to the day this photo shoot took place: Stephan decided not to wear his powder blue polo shirt, so he wore his transformers t-shirt instead. I cried on the way there because we were a little bit late, and to a pregnant lady I guess that's a big thing. And if you look closely, you can see the dried paint/plaster mix on Stephan's hands from his job that day.
I'm actually kinda sad. I picked out 30-ish pictures out of hundreds, yet there's one picture that I thought I had ordered, but it was not in the group I got. The picture is similar to the one above, except that it was closer up and from the edge of the shot you could see a little stick poking me in the baby bump. (That was Stephan being goofy).
Now all I have to do is pick out my absolute favorites and print them up to put on my wall. As for you, faithful readers, enjoy this small sampling of what I looked like late in my first pregnancy. I must say that I do enjoy the result of those nine months. :)
