Life at 34 1/2 Weeks

Every day I overdo it. Every day I tell myself I won't.

We planted our herb garden today. With a rosemary plant already thriving, we have now added a lavender (in the ground), a lemon thyme, curled parsley and some boxwood basil (a small leaf variety) in their own pots. I am excited to see how these little plants will do in their harsh new environment... especially when I am going to be more than a little distracted in the coming months, but hope that I will see some fruit from my labors and get to use fresh herbs through the summer!

Getting ready to welcome my dad, mom and youngest brother to Arizona next week! Uber excited! :-)

Ean has a hard time remembering the word freckle... so now most spots on his or others bodies are called "ninkles". He also keeps asking if his brother has come out yet, like he's going to miss it or something... I keep trying to explain that this baby is coming to stay! No way he won't know when his brother comes!

I have now completed THREE New York Times crosswords off my 2013 crossword of the day calendar... yeah... it's April. They are hard!

Making lists of things that need to get accomplished in the next month or so. It's daunting! That's all we have left... a few weeks! This pregnancy has really flown by! Every day brings us closer to meeting this new addition! It's also been much easier this time, without so much anxiety over what labor will be like... because I know!

I make lots of lists. They are my brain outside my body.

These are blessed days. Some are better than others, but all blessed.

I pray you see the blessings (big or small) in your day and life.

Peace and love.

Abi
