30 Weeks + Springtime Bursts


Here I am 30 Weeks pregnant with Elizabeth! (Ignore the weird shadowy things around me; my camera was acting up last night!)

There is TOTALLY a baby bump pushing out now! This picture is probably exaggerated a little bit, because I had my hoodie zipped up, too. But she's in there; kicking and moving around like crazy!

We had another doctor's appointment on Friday. I'm still losing weight. (Shocker). But, they said as long as I'm doing good with my water/ fluid intake (and I am!), I'm doing fine. I might have a longer recovery before I can return to softball/ recreational activities due to the muscle mass that I've lost, but they're not thinking it'll be a huge setback for me. :)

At this appointment, we reviewed my 27-week test results, and everything is perfectly healthy and normal. We thought for sure they'd tell me I was anemic, but nope! Everything's great! Yay!

Elizabeth is measuring about 1-2 weeks ahead of where I am currently. They think she's long and skinny like her daddy. :) At work today, we were all talking about what we thought she'd look like, and what her features would be like, etc. The consensus is that she'll be built like her daddy (tall and slender), but have petite features and be super active like her mommy.

In other news, spring is definitely on it's way! It's time for me to start my gardening again!

My chives are coming back! :)


Shallots are coming back!

Everything else in this pot besides the scallions died off - and my scallions are coming back!

Lemon Balm coming back! (through the dead stuff that I have to pick off).  

So I am super excited to get back into gardening! I need to get up to the Co-Op in Skagit Valley and get some starts again of whatever I want to grow this year. I'm thinking no more tomatoes, though. I'll probably do more herbs and veggies.

What are you growing in your garden this year?
