Outside my window... is a freshly cut lawn, a bucket of water with assorted squirt guns ready to go, and a beautiful sunny day.
I am thinking... that it would be nice to sit outside and write this, but the battery on my laptop doesn't work properly.
From the kitchen...oh, our beautiful kitchen. Newly renovated, with a long open counter top, and a pristine cook top and built-in oven. From the kitchen comes peace and possibility.
I am wearing... a comfortable khaki skirt and a bright maternity shirt that sits snug across my bursting belly.
I am creating... time to write and reflect in the few moments when my head seems to be clear and my space quiet.
I am also creating...decorations and paraphernalia for Kai's birthday - glow-in-the-dark slime, ooze, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pinata, treat bags...
I am going... to get a long overdue pedicure today. Aaahhhh...
I am reading...very little right now. I just got a set of Lisa See books that I would like to start and am listening to an audiobook, but mostly I'm just getting things done and resting in turn.
I am hoping...that I get a few more weeks to enjoy the peace and ease of a beautiful summer before our sweet new little one comes along.
I am hearing... very little. A great sign.
Around the house...Kai's party preparations on the go, the kitchen awaiting a few paint touch-ups and a pendant lamp before the renos are officially complete, more organization than I have felt in a long time.
One of my favourite...moments is carving out some time to write. I wish I was in the mental space to do it more regularly. Often my pregnancy brain is fuzzy, as I expect again my new mommy brain will be soon enough. Just a moment here or there to think about and appreciate the little things and people surrounding me.
A few plans for the rest of the week... a positional ultrasound to tell where this little one is laying, baking cupcakes, a backyard party. How I love summer!
