Second pregnancy? Totally different. I haven't taken one single belly pic... until today - and only because I don't want my second child to ask 20 years from now 'Mom, how come you don't have any pics of your belly when I was in it? You have a kazillion of Jack. I see who you're favorite is.' Hehehe. So, for the sake of fairness, here is a picture of me, 23 weeks and 2 days pregnant with June or Wyatt or Mae or Hank or Jill or Nicholas.

And now for lists. Do you like reading other people's lists? I do. It's a little peek into another persons brain and life :)
1. Finish a few logo/poster things for Dunlooken Farm that I promised to have done weeks ago. I don't know where my creativity goes, but by the time that I find time and peace and quiet to be creative, my brain has turned to mush and all I can think of is a hot bubble bath and reading a book. Or sleeping.
2. Pack for the long weekend. A bag for Jack to go to Grandma's and a bag for Mommy to head to Shell Rock. GETAWAY TIME!
3. Organize/consolidate the dozen or so boxes filed with baby/toddler clothes and other crap. I wish I were more organized when I first packed it away! Damnit.
4. Get back to blogging and putting effort back into etsy. I've been catching myself wasting precious time on Facebook again - and really, it's not good. I was doing so well after the last time I broke up with Facebook. To find myself slinking around there again is... disappointing.
5. Explore more about all this Church stuff (like, uh... Lent? Ash Wednesday? I have lots to learn). I've been attending adult confirmation/new member classes since January. Tonight Jack and I ate dinner at church after a make-up class with the pastor (because we missed on Sunday - booger noses kept us home). I had planned to stay for the 7 o'clock Ash Wednesday service after dinner, but we had been there since 4:45 and Jack was getting squirrely. Not to mention that it was nearing bedtime. I think that next Weds we will try to make the 2pm service. Oh, and on the menu tonight was soup and sandwich - a free will offering for the youth group. I had to chuckle because one of the sandwich choices was a venison summer sausage. It's so country out here!
6. Add prayers to Jack's bedtime routine. We started tonight. It was a sweet thing and felt right to do. I said the only one I know 'Now I lay me down to sleep...'. Reminded me of being tucked in by Grandma. I miss that woman!
7. Make sure to tell my hubs how much I love and appreciate him more often. He worked 116 hours over a seven day period at his primary and part-time job. Jack and I missed him. He had the last two days off and it was wonderful to have him home. I don't like those long working weeks.
AND that's it for tonight! I better get started on my list.
