My Morning: Vol. 2

Reading...
Mostly pregnancy related things. I haven't started a novel in a while...

Wearing...

My parks and rec soccer t-shirt from when I was 11 years old and a pair of maternity shorts (pj's). It's almost time to get dressed for church!

Eating/Drinking...

Just finished a nice glass of milk as well as my daily oatmeal and chia seeds breakfast.

Listening...

Agnes' white noise through her bedroom door.

Agnes...

Is in a slumber. I have not checked on her this morning but yesterday I found her sleeping on the floor cuddled up with her stuffed Olaf (PRECIOUS!!). I moved her to the bottom bed of the trundle so that after she plays at night, she can just crawl into her bed and sleep... unless she rolls off (which, if she does, won't be too uncomfortable).

Wondering...

If I'll have enough energy to get some cleaning done today before Paul arrives home after a short trip to Dallas for a National Alumni Board meeting. Getting up early has its ups and downs.
  

Praying...
For my family; jobs, relationships, and some happiness seem to be hanging by a thread at the moment. I'm praying for security, comfort, and grace during this time.

Thankful...

I always put this here, but MY HUSBAND!!! How can someone work 15 hr long days (sometimes 6 days a week) and still be so loving toward his wife, child, and family AND still make time to study for tests he is not obligated to take but does so that he can get ahead with his career and stability the fastest way possible?! He's just the best!

Feeling...

Challenged. Disciplining Agnes has become a little more than I am able to handle right now. My patience isn't what it used to be and I am hoping that I can be consistent in these next several weeks before baby arrives so that she knows she's loved, but still can't throw tantrums every other hour when someone says "no" to her.

Working...

On postpartum meal planning. Paul refuses to eat out of aluminum dishes (the throw-away kind you get at the store), so I am in search of more glass bake-ware that I can freeze for the next 6 weeks and still have others to make meals in. My MIL has a few dishes she will lend me. I only need like 4 or 5.

In the Kitchen...

Got my energy bites made (and one batch is almost gone, tehe). I will be making more because they are oh so good! I have also made a list of my postpartum meals I will be making. I've already done burritos so they are all set int he freezer.

Outside... 

It's in the 50's right now and will only get up to about 64 here today. Not complaining. It'll be a lazy day in after we get back from 8:30 mass and Natural Grocers.

Family...

I am really starting to miss my parents. I know we just saw them last month but there is something about stress (getting ready for baby boy's arrival in July) and the want to just cuddle up in your parent's loving embrace just for a minute and have them tell you everything will be alright. It's just that secure feeling. I get that with Paul, but sometimes a baby just wants its mama and papa.

Excited...

For deciding on a name for baby boy. "Baby Brother" will not suffice when he is born... we need something for the birth certificate :P
