Pinterest projects

It has been a hell of a day. We had back to back Dr appointments with Josh's allergist and then my OB this morning, that actually worked out well and wasn't bad at all. But, then we were stopped on Route 30 for an hour due to a tractor trailer accident. The toddler actually accepted it a little better than the teen...surprise, surprise. But, now he's outside, weeding the heck out of the gardens.... I was out there too, but now I'm taking a break.
THIS is my excitement for the day....

WOOO-HOOOO!

Oh, my other excitement is that tomorrow night there is a VBAC Preparedness class that a member of my local ICAN group emailed me about. Eeeee!! I think after that, I will be able to finish writing my birth plan and prepare myself all together. I have been thinking about it a lot lately. The good, the bad, the unexpected. I cannot control the outcome, but I can control how it is handled. That is what I am keeping in my head.

You know how everyone says you forget the aches and pains of pregnancy once its over and that is why women have 2nd, 3rd, 4th babies? It's so true. It actually takes that familiar ache/pain to hit me before I remember it from previous pregnancies. Like last night, I had debilitating leg cramps hit. I wanted to yell out so bad, but I knew I'd wake Anthony up and send him into a panic...and that would be worse than the pain. Oh, and how about when the baby decides to play games and flip from head down to transverse....yeah, only feels like my entire body is going to rip open. I also forgot about how the indigestion during the last few weeks feels like your insides are on fire..and it takes about 6 tums to calm that fire down. Oh yeah, and when it takes every effort to roll into a more comfortable sleeping position...and by the time you do, you're fully awake anyway. It is truly amazing what women go through while pregnant and they still continue to do it.  Same with labor...but that's a whole new topic for another day. I know all of these aches and pains are well worth the outcome, though. Growing a baby is the most special feeling in the world.

Ah, here's a couple of Pinterest projects I did for our anniversary!
Let's start with the food..MMMMMmmmmmm....

Fettuccine with peas, asparagus and pancetta. AH-MAZING dish I saw on Pinterest, recipe from Epicurious. Try it, it's delish!

And I made this for Anthony, it's the lyrics from first dance at our wedding reception. Well, actually our first dance was Pitbull as we were coming in.haha. But, this was our first slow dance together. 3rd Anniversary is leather, so I kept with that tradition, as well.
