defining the circles that make me whole
No longer restingPosted by Alli on January 11, 2009
It is hard to keep resting when I know there are so many things I have to do tomorrow. Most of the chores are in the house kind of stuff, but looking at this fridge makes me think a trip to the grocery store is definitely on the to do list.
34 weeks, 6 daysPosted by Alli on January 10, 2009
Today’s photo is courtesy of the saleswoman at the carpet store who said I looked too small to be eight months pregnant. I figured I needed to get a picture since I feel like a whale and think I look like I’m a gazillion months pregnant.
YummyPosted by Alli on January 9, 2009
Dinner tonight was spicy Ramen. I’m back to craving spicy food, which I love, since it is normal for me, even when I am not pregnant. I craved spicy a lot while I was pregnant with Fuller. This pregnancy it has been fresh fruit and vegetables (and sandwiches), which is great for me, but not [...]
More water, less sleepPosted by Alli on January 8, 2009
Today has been a little rough. I just couldn’t shake how tired I was, which made me a tad grumpy and feeling directionless for the day. Fuller really wanted to head to the park, so I took him. There were plenty of puddles and mud to avoid or enjoy, depending on your role in life. [...]
High Water and tryingPosted by Alli on January 7, 2009
So I committed to this photo a day thing. I didn’t promise that all the pictures would be good. Please remember that. We got almost 4 inches of rain yesterday, resulting in flooding and closing of schools. Today I wanted to get a picture of the high water over by Chattanooga Creek, so Fuller and [...]
Making lists are not nestingPosted by Alli on January 6, 2009
This morning I was seriously bummed about my epiphany last night- I have no nesting gene. My little sister blogged this morning that she too is missing the nesting gene, which actually made me much happier. To combat the missing gene, I decided to use the genetics God did bless me with- list making. I [...]
My first instructable: Hair Bow HolderPosted by Alli on
For my niece Genevieve’s first birthday, I made her a hair bow holder. (Never mind that her birthday was in September and she didn’t get it until Thanksgiving.) Sarah-Ginny requested something, anything, to keep all of Princess G’s hair bows in order. I had seen other hair bow/ hair clip holders on the internet, and [...]
Getting ready in so many waysPosted by Alli on January 5, 2009
I had another doctor appointment today. I thought I was going to weekly visits, but I have two more weeks until that officially starts. I took Fuller with me, which really he doesn’t mind. He gets to watch the iPod Touch (he called it a wallet with boxes, which took me a while to figure [...]
Beauty in worshipPosted by Alli on January 4, 2009
One of the many beautiful things to look at during worship, remembering that God made it too.
Maple represents our dayPosted by Alli on January 3, 2009
When you spend most of the day(s) in your pajamas and not really getting off the couch due to gestating duty, you might end up looking like our dog, Maple. Relaxed and not really caring what is going on in the room.
