Well I was reminded by a dear friend that I have not written on this for some time now. I have actually forgot about its existence as I am consumed with life these days. Gone are the days of sitting in the coffee shop with hours of free time to write about my life and surroundings. Now I sit at a desk 8 hours a day helping students plan out their future. It isn't all that bad accept I can feel my butt getting bigger and I know its not the baby....well maybe it is partially the baby but still. I miss being on my feet and having the activity in my life. So in honor of spending time thinking about life, sharing it with you all, and hopefully getting some insight from you and the Lord, I am going to spew here for a few minutes.
So I was thinking when the baby comes and I am no longer working behind a computer 8 hours aday and I am taking care of our little one full time, what activities will I partake in? As of late Ryan and I have decided to learn sign language so that is one thing. I also think I am going to learn to sow. The wife of our new landlord is a stay at home and she has learned to sow and I am thinking I might want to join her. I am also going to learn how to make different flavor rice puddings. Random I know but when Ryan and I were on our honeymoon we went to this place in Sarasota called Miami Rice Pudding and they had 30 different flavors of rice pudding and they were UH-MAZING!!! So with that in mind I am thinking I might like to learn to do it myself and maybe open a little stand at the local market and sell it. Who knows it could be huge.
Now in memory of my fit and healthy days (since the baby and new job working out is seldom) I have decided to give in and save up to buy Tony Hortons 10 minute Trainer. I know its crazy but I don't think I have more then that right now and since the gym here is not my most fav place I think I'm going to take to the DVD world and do it at home. Obviously this will become a part of my normal routine (during nap time for the baby) once he/she is here. But until then Ryan and I are going to do it. And if the ads are right you all need to look out! haha.
OK OK so other then that lets talk about now. We find out what we are having on the 27th and I can hardly stand it. The last few weeks my belly has got bigger and bigger. I can't believe the growth. People keep asking to see photos and I will post some as soon as Ryan gets home from his conference as I am too big to take it of myself. Moving around is getting more and more interesting and believe it or not I don't really have much of an appetite. No more then before at least.
I do miss family and friends, it is hard to think of them in other places and us here but one thing Ry and I know is that this is where the Lord has us for at least the next two years. So here's to getting comfy.
When I sit back and think about having a baby inside my belly it is so crazy. I mean you hear people talk about it but it is something all together different when its happening to you. I mean I have life within me and that is gnarly. I mean it is truly amazing to see the baby grow and change and see how it works on my body. I can't wait to see Ry and I in this little one. Having our children is the one thing I am certain I was created to do and there is no better feeling than that.
Okok...so enough of that. I am almost off my lunch break and I need to walk the stairs and do some stretches before I am back on the phones.
Blessings...hopefully next time wont take me so long.
any guesses on what we are having?
