Life Update

Things are going well around here. I am now 25 weeks & 3 days pregnant. Our little boy has been kicking up a storm, some days more than others. I love this stage of pregnancy - still pretty comfortable & get to feel him moving a lot. We've had an outpouring of stuff from friends and are beginning to feel more prepared for our little guy to arrive. Our bathroom is going to get mostly redone this weekend while we're away and it will be so nice to get all the bathroom stuff back into the bathroom so we can begin organizing the baby's room. We've decided to get rid of our queen bed in the baby's room. A queen bed and a crib don't fit too well in a 10x10 room, especially when we'd like to put some storage furniture in there as well for clothes and toys and the like. Our priorities are changing - from hosting guests as our first priority to making room for baby. I am feeling SO blessed right now!! Praise God for every day He's giving me in this pregnancy!

Today is a good day! There's lots of stuff going on that I can't talk about quite yet, but can soon. Dave's mom is having shoulder replacement surgery today. Please pray for her recovery! Her health is not the best to begin with. Thanks!

Blogging & Danish

Well, I'm obviously not good at daily blogging. I always feel like I have to have something profound to say in order to write anything. Yet, I have friends who don't follow that rule and I feel much more connected to them and know what's going on in their lives because of it. So, I just want to let you know I appreciate "daily bloggers" and I'm going to try to be closer to that.

So, my boss & coworkers got me & Dave a nice gift for Christmas and I've been wanting ever since to make them some of my mom's "World Famous Danish" (which I'd never made before) as a thank you. Well, I finally finished making them last night and will post some pictures when I have my USB cord handy. They're not nearly as pretty as Mom's are, but I have to say they taste pretty good.

One problem - a batch normally makes three danish, so I made three danish - and I thought I had enough for everyone at work. Yes, I've worked there for two years now and did pretty well in math class when I was younger. You'd think I could figure this out! Well, I got to work and as it turns out, there are actually four people to give danish to. I don't know where my brain has been. So, I gave the three to my three coworkers and will make another batch to give one to my boss (who is one of the best bosses ever, BTW). I SO wish I'd thought this through before. I'm looking at it this way though - my boss will get a BETTER one because I've had one time to practice. Yay!
