What is the reason for this post? Maybe it's the nesting in me, but I really felt like I wanted to get at least one last post out. :)
Before what? BEFORE THE BABY COMES!!
How many more weeks till your due date? Two. Two little old weeks. Two weeks that are actually feeling like forever. But yet. This could happen any.time.now. Mind blown.
Thoughts about the nesting stage? It's a real-live stage, I believe. :) I always enjoy crossing things off lists, but there is an extra satisfying feeling that comes from crossing something off that needs to be done before the baby gets here. Personally, I think that was very creative of God to put that instinct/stage in about-to-deliver women. So far though, I haven't done anything too dramatic, like scrub tile flooring in the middle of the night.
What is something you envision these days? Holding my baby. That is all. :)
Do you enjoy pregnancy? Hm. I love feeling the baby kick and am so, so grateful to be pregnant. But. I don't enjoy tingly hands (I wear hand braces every night and naptime!) and swollen feet (Seriously, I saw a picture of my sister's feet this weekend and they looked anorexic to me. Obviously I'm used to swollen, chubby feet, haha!) and feeling all cramped inside. Also. Being tired a lot. This is a pretty mild answer. :) Sadly, I don't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Not to be a Debbie-downer. Every lady is different!
moving on to different subjects...
What is the weather like? It is very pretty. :) Don't hate. Mostly in the 70's and 80's. Except today it's raining. It hailed this morning, too! Rainy, cloudy days are gooooood. :)
What was your highlight of this past Christmas? Probably 1, a super relaxing day with Dustin. And 2, hosting some people who also weren't with family for dinner that night. We did go back to Mississippi for a "late" Christmas & also went for a wedding. That week was so good. :)
What is your most current-yet-taking-forever DIY project? This. Just make it the tiny size that they do. Don't make it bigger. Please, for your sanity.
What is your husband up to? Ohhh, you know, work and stuff. He recently started at a job in Santa Monica (which if you have visited us, we probably took you to the beach in that town). Weird fact = it takes him 40 minutes to get to work and an hour and a half to get home. Traffic is just...traffic.
We know your husband likes to design and make things. What has he done lately? He is making his own phone case windshield holder thingy for the car! Oh and he also fixed my laptop battery with some....glue stuff. I should probably remember the names of this stuff.
What is something funny that happened recently? One evening after Dustin got home from work, we decided to set up the car seat in the car and store the stroller in the trunk (Cause who has room for those things in their house? haha!). I carried the car seat and Dustin carried the stroller. Our neighbor (lives in front of us), Miss Adrianna, was watering her flowers. She took one look at us and what we were carrying and stopped what she was doing. She real nonchalantly asked, "Where are you goingggg?". Haha! I told her, "Don't worry, we're not having the baby yet. We're just setting this stuff up in the car." Haha! Her face. You had to see it.
Another funny story? Ok, so Dustin got me flowers the week of Valentine's day. I was happily cutting the plastic wrapped around them to stick them in a vase. I pulled the plastic back and started separating the roses to trim the stems and suddenly...you'll never guess what happened. No exaggeration, ALL but three of the leaves on the roses fell off. FELL OFF. I stood there and laughed and laughed. Guys, that is a lot of leaves to just fall off a dozen or so roses. haha!
What are you reading? Perspectives. It's a huge encyclopedia-type-thick book that we have to read for DNI training we're taking in April.
Tell us about training. Well, it's for six weeks in NYC. Technically, we were supposed to take the training before we moved, but that's a long story. :) So now we're planning on taking it this April. From what I hear, we have a class in the morning and then street-witness in the afternoon. I think homework involves lots of reading, some memorizing, and some essay-type writing. We leave the beginning of April and get back the middle/end of May. We're hoping to tie in a visit to my home area (!!!!!!) during or after training. And yes, we realize we'll have a teeny tiny baby with us. Pray for so much grace and strength for us & protection from sicknesses for the baby, would you?
What is for dinner? Today is pretty much calling for soup.
What should your next blog post be about? Baby, of course. And then after that, maybe an update on our recording project.
That's all for now!
