Welcome to Wednesday..

This past weekend we spent time working in the yard. We started our day off with a trip to the snow cone place because I had been craving one for about 4 days! It was delish! In fact, I could go for a snow cone right now! We went to a couple of different places and ended our day at Lowes. We got weed and feed, grass seeds, a spreader, and tomato plants. We went up and down the aisles looking at all the flowers, trees, and indoor plants. I wanted so badly to buy some flowers for my front flower bed, but we were already going to be spending a lot, so we decided to wait. My mums were badly damaged during the hail storm, so I'm not sure if they will bloom or not. They were coming back so full and pretty and now they just look sickly. Hopefully they will come back because the front flower bed looks bad! The sago palms and bushes are so beaten up it just looks terrible. Josh spent the afternoon spreading the weed and feed out and then laying down grass seeds around our patio. It's nothing but dirt there now because of Jackson digging and then both dogs running off the patio at high speeds. I planted my 8 tomato plants, so hopefully a few will survive and produce tomatoes for Josh! It's my first time growing anything, so hopefully it will turn out. I wanted to get an okra plant because I like fried okra, but they were all sold out, so I took that as a sign and we just got the tomatoes.

Of course since we did all that to our yard it just had to storm. The storm rolled into town about 11pm on Monday night. We were awakened about 11:30pm by the high winds and rain hitting our windows. We were both concerned about the storm since last time we had such bad hail. We were up for about an hour because the storm was so bad. A lot of shingles were blown off roofs in our neighborhood, but luckily we haven't found any of ours missing. More than likely all the grass seeds were washed away since our backyard is not flat. Luckily my tomato plants seem to have survived the high winds.

Speaking of the storm, I have a cute story to share about my Delta. They say dogs always know if something is changing. I do believe Delta knows there's a baby in my belly because she is always loving on me even more than normal. Monday night confirmed my belief that she knows something is different about me. When the storm woke us up, I, of course, had to use the bathroom. The lightning was nonstop just lighting up the room. I went into the bathroom and then hear Delta jump off the bed. She walks into the bathroom and stands there waiting on me. We walk back and get back in bed and she gets right up against me sitting down and leans her weight against my tummy. I tell her that it's ok lay down and she curls up right against me. Of course Josh says "don't be babying her, she's going to be scared of storms!" I told him he was sadly mistaken, she was watching out for me and her baby brother/sister. She's so sweet! I know she will be a sweet big sister! Jackson on the other hand is going to have some trouble dealing with not being the little baby anymore! haha :]

A picture of me and my babies at the huntin camp:

A moment to brag on Josh: He finished his first graduate class with an A! YAY Josh! He worked really hard and earned that A! His next class begins this month. He will be trying to continue his 4.0 in his next class!

As far as a pregnancy update goes: I am 11 weeks now and everyday I feel like my clothes get a little tighter. Someone needs to explain to Josh that I need some new shirts because nothing fits. All of my shirts are a size small and that's just not working for me anymore! I only have 3 t-shirts that still fit out of the 2 drawers full of t-shirts that I own. Of course in Josh's eyes that's plenty! ha! Sadly the Target here in Dothan has basically nothing to choose from in the maternity department. So next time I am in Mobile, I am going to have to head up to Super Target. I am still pretty tired throughout the day. I had a terrible headache on Monday and just came home from work and laid on the couch the whole day. As far as cravings, this week I have been eating green grapes non stop. We got some fruit from the farmers market and Publix on Saturday and since then I have had fruit with my lunch each day. It's been delicious! I'm already out of apples and cantaloupe, but I still have some grapes and strawberries. I'm just glad I am craving something healthy and not candy! I could also eat mexican every day. In fact we went to the place down the road that just opened up 3 times last week. It's not expensive at all, so it's a cheap meal that is so so good!
