Making me happy right now.

Baking with the bump.

• The first cup of hot chocolate this season. 
• The bowl of cherry tomatoes from our garden. 
• The feeling of our little baby pushing against my skin. 
• It's cold enough to wear jeans, but warm enough for bare feet. 
• A made bed.

Awarded for valiant behavior while being poked with a needle.

• Getting a prize for being good when having my blood drawn. 
• Watching Espen enjoy story time at the library. 
• Two loads of laundry and a load of dishes done before leaving the house this morning. 
• 30 weeks pregnant!
• Tasty dinner plans. 
• Home-made foccacia dough rising in the sunshine.



It feels so short!

• The feeling of having chopped a foot (12 inches!) of hair off. 
• Reading our good friend Josh's list of 34 favorite memories of his wife Lolly on her 34th birthday. I laughed, I cried, I wished (again) that they lived closer. 
• An upcoming weekend trip to Las Vegas with la familia North. 
• Two new little outfits bought for Squiggle. 
• Espen excitedly telling me "I love vegetables!" as we shopped the produce aisle. 



This one had little ears!

• Trying on hats at Target with Espen and laughing too hard to take any in-focus pictures.
• An almost clean kitchen. 
• A chance to sit down and rest my achy self while Espen rests his respectively cute self upstairs.
