1 Crazy Week!

It has been filled with ups and downs. The plus side is that I'm so over the downs. Moving forward.

I got my baby registry started. I'm still working on it but i got it started. It has dawned on me that I'm 22 wks. Just a pinch over half way. With my history of preterm births I'm thinking i don't have much time. I need to get my butt in gear. Karl and I have been cracking down on the name game and getting serious. Don't want to spoil it yet but i think we have a name. Its just that gut feeling and I know it will suit her well.

I have come across a lot of people telling me that I'm small for being in my 5th month. I must say it makes me feel good especially when i have them days when i feel like I'm huge. The baby is on track though. I also hear a lot from Walmart employee's and friend's about Karl. How he just talks about me and the baby. How happy he is and that he is very excited. They say that not only do you hear it in his voice but you can see it in his face. I must say it gives me that feeling of bliss.

Going without an oven is driving me crazy at this point. It needs a new thermostat that is on order. Cooking on the range is ok for now but as the saying goes, "you don't know what you got till its gone". Hmmm or was that a song.....
Anyways I'm missing not having an oven. My Mother did however point out that I'm a good cook and will get around it. I must say she is right. Even though for a few months I have been in a bit of a funk but as of late its coming back. Karl and my girls are definitely happy about that. I like that my taste buds are back to normal and i have the ability to whip up virtually anything out of nothing. I do have to give thanks to my mom for that skill. She passed on that ability as well as a knack for knowing how much to add without a measuring cup.

I think tonight I will serve up a yummy dinner with desert and then retire to the room with Karl. Lay back, relax and watch a good movie....
