Popcorn

Sunday evening, Sunday night and again Monday morning I felt popcorn going off in my belly! Peanut officially sent me some unmistakable kicks! Boi tried to get his hand on my belly on time, but it was too late. Even though some ladies on my board say that they've felt it through their bellies, at ~8oz and my nice layer of baby warming fat, I think it's going to be a few more weeks for us anyways. Alas, nothing since Monday morning, or at least nothing distinct.

We had a very annoying weekend, with the sump pump backing up, the dishwasher freaking out, and the garbage disposal just plain dying. Boi fixed the sump pump, took a few tries but eventually figured it out, and after draining and tinkering with the dishwasher, it just started working again. This has happened once before, gosh darn it I just need a new kitchen. And a new master bathroom still. And a new sliding door. These three things would make me happy. Too bad all these things cost money, and suddenly we have a money eating baby on the way ;)

Boi is in Wautoma this week, a long drive for what he calls frustratingly easy work. Not entirely sure how to take that, better then frustratingly hard and awful work I guess? But still not great. Oh well, one day down for him, well a day and a half, and he got home at a good time last night though, maybe he'll be home when I get back from yoga :) Hopefully he'll be in good mood! I want to make plans to get out of here for a few days!

Speaking of yoga, I was going to leave soonish for that. Dinner first at mom's, I'm going to bring her some flowers from the garden :D At least it's not snowing out there, boo for snow in May, hopefully they still look ok. I'd bring them in here, but the cats would for sure eat them. They're such squishy pigs :) *makes piggy faces with the one sitting by the computer* Yeah, she takes that as a compliment, darn it!

Peanut's wearing pigtails today! Bwaa haa haa!

First Garage Sale!

Huzzah for garage sale season! K and I went out and did some intensive garage sale-ing, in the rain. Came out with some stuff, the cutest blanket ever, a bunch of fitted sheets, a musical mobile, (a bumper that i'm not sure about...), a baby monitor, clothes and bibs and shoes and a puzzle and hangers, and a baby album, all for a steal.

Peanut is 19 weeks today, or as I affectionately sometimes say, -21 weeks old :) In one week we'll be halfway there! Kairi is especially excited about this suddenly, cat is crawling all over me *getting.... strangled.... with love....*

Also K gave me a random site name website, so today, since Peanut is a boy today, his try-on name is.... Diggery Ashwin. Yeah, I don't think Boi is going to buy that one.

Ugh, last day of April. I can't wait for May! Say goodbye to this cold icky weather, say goodbye to a malfunctioning sump pump, dishwasher, and garbage disposal, and a questionable vacuum cleaner. Say goodbye to puking, to headaches, to gagging, to forcing myself to lay down and not do anything to stop the pains, to feeling exhausted and feeling like crap. May is going to be all about finally being able to focus on work, being able to work in the garden, to opening the windows, to starting on the nursery. To growing a cute bump, even though I'm told I look pregnant, I still want a proper cute bump. To feeling real movement, to reading to Peanut. To taking a few days to escape WI with Boi on one last outing before travel gets more difficult. 

May is going to be all these things, just you watch.
