The Simple Woman's Daybook Volume 22: Oh, Baby!

Outside my window ... it's dark. My bible study friends have just left.
.

I am thinking ... about some exciting news: we are expecting our fifth child! Baby should arrive around February 27th!

.

Learning at home ... I have been slacking. I should be reviewing addition and subtraction facts and sight words with the girls and I haven't been as often as I should. Noah can write his name but he needs more practice. Get on it, Aubrey!
.

I am thankful for ... a new little addition to our family. God didn't have to bless us again but He did. I am so grateful.

.

From the kitchen ... grilled pork chops, fruit salad, potato salad, Fritos casserole.

.
I am wearing ... shorts and a T-shirt.
.

I am reading ... The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce by Wallerstein, Lewis, and Blakeslee. Soon I will begin Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales. Your Pregnancy Week by Week.

.
I am hoping ... for a healthy pregnancy, a healthy baby, and a quick recovery!
.

I am creating ... new life!

.

I am remembering ... the look on Morgan's face when we told her that she was going to have another brother or sister. She was (is) thrilled beyond measure. I wish that we would have had the video camera out. Throughout the weekend, she would come up to me to say, "Mom, this is the best weekend ever ... my bulb came up (Elephant Ear, finally, after two months), we have fireworks, I stayed with Grandpa and Grandma, and we're having a new baby!"

Oh, Baby!
