Monday Musings

I.....

~am losing my eyelashes at an alarming rate. I pull them out one-by-one when I'm stressed. Isn't that a weird thing to do? I know. I'm weird.

~am firmly convinced that the fruit--and I use that term very, very loosely--in the middle of pop tarts contains some form of glue. Once that stuff hits the slate floor, it is like doing surgery to try to get it off. Okay, okay. It's like doing surgery if you leave it stuck to the floor for a couple of days. Which I would never, ever do. Just like I would never, ever feed my children a pop tart...those things have to be bad for you.

~have fallen in love with the hats over at BriarClaire. If Peanut is anything like her brothers (or her mother who was nearly bald until age two), then she will most likely need one in every color to cover her little head for a while! This one, this one, this one and this one are my favorites. *sigh* Oh, and the wonderful thing (in case you love these hats, too) is that in the month of October, for every single hat that is purchased, BriarClaire is donating a hat to a children's cancer hospital. As of October 4th, they have already donated 158 hats. Isn't that incredible? Seems like a great time to stock up to me.

~do believe that once Peanut does have hair, I will be ordering some of these amazing, handmade bows from my friend Julie! She has opened up an Etsy shop herself, and is selling some incredible Korker bows....head on over there and check them out! I definitely need the Black Beauty and the Neopolitan!

~just cleaned toilets my toilets on Friday. They already needed it again this morning. Boys are gross. I wonder how many more times in my life I am going to need to yell, "Aim for the water!" before they actually do?

~love a house that is clean and smells yummy.

~am so thankful for heating pads. I'm gonna need one tonight, after the cleaning rage I've been on today.

~actually WON a contest that I entered! Remember this post for a chance at a Miracle Blanket? Yours truly is now the proud owner! Let's hope Peanut loves it as much as so many other babies do....

~can say with confidence that, no matter how hard a girl may try, it is difficult to feel even somewhat pretty when you are wearing compression stockings. *sigh*

~had an amazing blessing at church yesterday. It's incredible to see how God's people can be moved to do something that is such a blessing to someone else, at such a sacrifice to themselves.

~am so thankful for the good report at the doctor last week, and for the sneak peak I got at my little girl. I have gained 13 pounds (feels like 30) and am mostly nice and healthy, with just a few *issues* that will hopefully go away once Peanut is born. One thing to keep in prayer is my asthma. It is flaring up pretty regularly these days, and I seem to have extra trouble breathing when I have the occasional contraction. A bit scary heading into labor, but still lots of time to get it regulated.

Happy Monday everyone!
