1. I am now 22 weeks pregnant, which seems kinda crazy as to how in the world did I get to this point already but I am thankful its been a pretty smooth pregnancy. Definitely much harder finding food I like and want to eat but other than that I think its been okay.
2. On a side note I finally feel like I need to slow down a tad in what I attempt to do each day. My hip expansion has kicked in this week.
3. Ben I think is going thru a growth spurt this week, or he's just catching up on the missed sleep over the weekend. He sleeps thru the night when he goes down, its just getting him down that is sometimes the hard part.
4. Randomly, today we got a free fire truck push walker at a garage sale. I'm amazed at the things a cute kid gets you. Yesterday it was a free glass of kool-aid. Craziness.
5. I actually have started sewing some of my projects again. I still have two major ones, fixing a dress to fit and a shirt to fit. Both that are way too big in the shoulders. Even though I'm tall I've got a bony little upper body minus the baby sticking out out front. Legs on the other hand, well you don't play soccer and run cross country for upteen years without acquiring some good muscle on those.
6. I am attempting a small veggie garden this year. All in pots because I didn't know where to start a garden in my yard, so I figured I had a bunch of pots so I might as well use them. I am attempting to grow tomatoes, red and green peppers and zucchini. I still have herbs as well and am hoping they continue to thrive like they did last year.
7. We signed up for the summer reading challenge for Ben. While we read everyday, I am bad at logging the time. So I have to estimate it all. And also they want like one title of the books you read for every half hour which is impossible for a toddler and board books.
8. So we got back the results of Ben's lead test and they were double of what they want them to be so both Keith and I have been going into a cleaning frenzy and I have made Ben now actually consume his iron vitamin and so far if you put anything in his milk he will drink it. Maybe I should make him smoothies and have him eat his fruits and veggies this way too. I don't give him juice because most of the time he spits it back out and really juice is not that good for you, to me its like drinking soda with a little bit of vitamin C. So anyway we hope that our house will be lead paint free or controlled at least and we will get that kid's lead levels back to normal by 18 months.
9. I have I told you how much I love having a produce store on the corner of my neighborhood. It helps that the people that run it are super sweet too. They have good prices and try to get local stuff as much as possible too. A good deal all around.
10. I started selling books on amazon. So far I've sold 2 out of the 18 I put online. I still have a good 20 more to add to it, so I should probably get on that so I can sell more and declutter my bookshelf.
Take care all! Hopefully I will post again at a better rate than I have been.
