Earlier this month I was trying to read the recipe I was creating for dinner, only to find myself struggling with the book itself. I wanted the book to stand up on the counter so that I could glance at the instructions while I was cooking instead of having to walk across the room to the dining room table where it often lays (so as to prevent it from getting dirty from food). In a side comment to my husband, I said, "I need a book stand for my cookbook." A few minutes later I realized I didn't hear him in the living room anymore, and I wondered where he had run off to. The house had gotten really quiet. Ten minutes later he reappeared in the kitchen, holding a cookbook stand he had created out of an Erector set. Wow! The based of the stand could use to be a couple inches wider, but it sure worked a million times better than none at all. I guess it's true that I really did marry an engineer.
I'm really not sure if I ever thought this day would come. The day that I made it past 13 weeks pregnant without losing the baby. #miracle. I know I am not out of the woods yet, and honestly, when are we really? I am just trying to live every day with gratitude for the life inside of me, living with hope for the future. Part of me wanted to wait until next week, when I was past 14 weeks and officially in the 2nd trimester, but I couldn't wait any longer. I've been getting a little thick in the middle, which is getting more difficult to hide, and I feel like I haven't been able to be completely honest with friends when they would ask, "how are you doing?" All I wanted to talk about was how nauseous I was or how nervous I felt. So now, the news is out, whether or not you already suspected something was up. Seriously though, the 1st trimester is not for the faint of heart! There were many instances when I thought I would lose the baby, but dee...
