I've been slacking on my 7 Quick Takes lately. There has always been something going on!1.
According to my thermometer, it is 56 degrees outside! I can go out without a winter coat! I am seeing more and more birds hopping around looking for worms! The snow is nearly all gone! I drove to the grocery store with my windows down! PRAISE BE TO GOD!

On a downer note- I'm sick. My husband has been sick this past week with a horrible cold, and today I woke up with a cough, scratchy throat and a snot ball that feels like a golf ball in the back of my throat. I think today will be a good day to snuggle up in bed with my doggie and read Harry Potter.

Ryan applied for another job. The location would give us numerous options of where to live, including Atchison, where we first met. We are praying this job works out. It is time to move, and practically HAVE to move before the baby is born. Every single person smokes in every apartment around us and and second hand smoke is HORRIBLE. I can't bring myself to place my newborn baby on sheets that reek of smoke. Plus one of the ladies who lives in a neighboring apartment has gotten in trouble for drugs, and I don't want to be anywhere near that. Please pray that Ryan and I accept God's will regarding this job!

I have ruined two meals this week. I'm trying to save money by planning out meals for a whole week. I tried marinating chicken... but it was still a little frozen so when we grilled them, they were burned on the outside, frozen on the inside. Yesterday I tried making home-made noodles. They are really fun to make, but I made them a little too thick and they never dried. Both of these times had us ordering pizza (which is yummy and helped my bruised ego a little bit!)

The Oscars are this Sunday. I have loved watching the Oscars since I was a little kid, since it was my dream to become an actress. And yes, I have "practiced" my acceptance speech for best actress in a leading role... in the shower... and the shampoo bottle was the Oscar...

This Lent seems to be going by fast for some reason. Easter is about a month away!

Baby C is the size a lime this week! I'm feeling a bit poofier! I already had a poochie tummy before I was pregnant, but I can tell the little one is growing in there! I've also read that the baby is moving around a ton, but of course I can't feel it... I can't wait for that day!
Have a good weekend y'all!

Prayer sent for the job/move!
I went through a period where I messed up several meals, too - we kept a frozen pizza handy for just those occasions! Luckily it seems like those phases pass quickly.
And yay Baby C, and excuses to have a pooch! :)
I just started crying (just a little) with joy and happiness for you, for your pregnancy. I feel as happy for you as I would (and will!) for myself.
When it gets closer to the baby-time, I'm going to send you a care package. I've already been thinking about it. :)
#1- This is a totally awesome one that I hope happens to me before May.
#3- Saying a prayer for you!
#4- Wow, you are way more ambitious than me! I've never tried to make noodles before. Just know that planing and making successful meals gets easier and easier. Especially once you have some tried and true favorites to fall back on.
#5- Made me laugh!
#7- I can't wait to feel my babies either! And let me tell you it is the most incredible thing ever and the part of pregnancy I miss the most! They say you won't feel it until at least 17 weeks, but I remember feeling my first (um, remember her blogname is "Ms. action", and she lived up to that name even in the womb!) when lying on my stomache at 15 weeks, so you never know, it could happen early!
So excited for you!
Hooray for pizzas, poochie tummies, and the beginning of Spring. Will keep you in my prayers, especially in regards to a new job for Ryan. Smoke is really terrible for a baby. Ditto for drugs in the neighborhood, not a good sign either. Hopefully, it will all work out for you, and you will find a cozy little nest for your little baby.
More prayers for the job! And I hope you get to feeling better soon. Being sick is not fun. I hate colds!
Congrats on baby-to-be. I am in my second trimester with my third child and just starting to have a noticable bump myself. Even with this being my third time around, I marvel at the miracle of birth. And, this time, my children are, too. See the run that will come if you fill your quiver with even more children at http://traininghappyhearts.blogspot.com/2010/01/pro-life-preschoolers-five-things-kids.html My kiddos love awaiting their brother's arrival.
