getting:: ready to post my 26 week photo to the maternity series tonight.

excited:: that today I'm 27 weeks along in this pregnancy.

contemplating:: the fact that today I'm 27 weeks pregnant, and still have so much to do to get ready.

happy:: that my girl has had her first two nights in her new room and big bed... peacefully (even when Dolce doesn't stay in there very long).

proud:: of my husband, all the wonderful, healthy meals we've been making together and his new, chronicled journey.

trying:: to get some extra rest, in between all the cleaning, laundry, cooking, baking, editing and child-rearing... we'll see what gets done and what gets sacrificed.
