Currently I'm...


I just saw this list posted on someone’s pinterest page and I thought it would be a nice little way to give you an update on life right now. I tried to answer with the first thing that came to mind.

Currently I’m…
Reading…the Bible and Martha Stewart Living
Playing…with my son often. Today it was fetch with lots of tickling
Watching…a little of this and a little of that. Downton Abbey was the only regular.
Trying…to not gain as much weight as I did with the last pregnancy.
Cooking…lots of soups while I can before the weather heats up too much.
Eating…everything in sight, or at least it feels that way. Which is somewhat in contradiction to the goal above
Drinking…lot’s of hot tea with my husband
Calling…not very many people back on time, I’m going to go ahead and blame it on pregnancy brain
Texting…more often than calling, which I don’t want to do yet the convenience of it is so overwhelming
Pinning…some cool stuff.  Check out my pinterest page and you’ll find out.
Tweeting…nothing. Tweeter, or I mean Twitter, confuses me.
Crafting…handmade jewelry pieces. Check out the website for the latest
Scrapping…nothing. I’ve never gotten into the whole scrapbook thing.
Doing…not as much as I would like to during the day. I think that’s going to be the new norm, especially with the arrival of the little lady.
Going…on lots of family walks around the neighborhood
Loving…the feeling of baby moving and somersaulting. What a miracle that God has created.
Hating…my propensity to apathy and just gong through the motions in my relationship with Jesus.
Discovering…that motherhood is more challenging that I thought, but also such an incredible joy and gift.
Enjoying…sweet one on one time with my son
Thinking…about all of the things I would like to get done today and won’t, but I am okay with that
Feeling…so loved by those around me
Hoping (for)…a healthy birth and baby
Listinening (to)…Wesley Randolph Eader and Josh White, both from Door of Hope in Portland.
Celebrating…another day
Smelling…fresh brewed coffee
Thanking…my mother in laws keen eye. Just this very second she walked in with the tiniest baby box turtle she found in the street.  My childhood self has kicked in and I have already asked if we can keep him and am thinking of a name.
Considering…naming him Harvey.
Finishing…the week with food from one of our favorite places to eat and then a girl’s movie night with a really good friend. It’s gonna be good!
Starting… to get really excited about my new best friend Harvey.
