Things I never expected to say....Tuesday edition

Stop licking momma's tummy!

No, you may not sleep with your shark. 

Seriously?

I'm 18 weeks today and I'm having morning sickness? I've felt pretty good for the past 10 days but there's been the mild nausea today and I just got sick. I'm glad everything is going well but enough with the puking! 

Happy 4th

Sigh

I so need to update. But morning sickness and first trimester fatigue has been really hard on me. Then to top that off, Isla had a tummy bug last week and I got it this week. Still not 100 percent of even my pregnant self, but feeling loads better than I was. We were afraid I was going to have to go in my IV fluids.

Saturday marks the start of my second trimester so hopefully I'll start feeling better soon!

9 weeks....ETA Christmas Day!

Okay, so Isla was 2 weeks early so I know I'll expect this one early too, but I'm measuring on track for a Christmas baby. I can't seem to post the ultrasound footage but she quickly found the baby and a HR of 178!
And in 2 weeks we'll get to find out the gender of the baby we're supposed to adopt!

Coming soon....

Toy Story 3

Perhaps we watch this movie a bit too frequently. Isla now calls her piggy bank "Doctor Porkchop."

On the way home last night....

Isla: Momma, you're yucky.
Me: I'm yucky?
Isla: YUC-ky!
Me: I'm lucky?
Isla: Yes. That's what I said.
Me: I know I'm lucky, but why do you think I'm lucky?
Isla: Cause I love you.

All by herself!

Tidbits

Isla has been saying "oh my cracked butt" when she falls on her behind. It's hard not to laugh, but then she feeds on the laughter and keeps saying "my cracked butt."

We've been working on math skills and she really seems to get the concepts. Yesterday I told her I'd blow bubbles 5 times. I counted 1-2-3 as I blew, but then I stopped counting. I looked over at her and she had one hand out and she was pointing at her fingers. I could see the little wheels in her head turning and then she said "momma, you need to blow 2 more times."

"Yucky Charms" are a breakfast favorite.

It's been absolutely gorgeous outside the past few days. Yesterday Isla helped me plant some grass seed and kept asking about planting flowers. We didn't have any to plant but P and I had gotten the garden tilled so we planted some onions, chives, and herbs. Today I planted tomato plants, banana peppers, kale, and broccoli. Isla loves watering so hopefully we'll have a great garden this year!

Speaking of banana peppers, Isla loves going to Subway. She wants "yellow things, green things, black things, and purple things" on her sandwich (banana peppers, pickles, olives, and red onions).

Saturday when it was so nice out, I stopped at the park after dropping Isla at Grandma's house. I had planned on walking around the lake a few times and using the time to have a nice long chat with God but as I got closer I thought I'd just listen to some music instead. I started walking, put in my headphones and pulled my phone out of my pocket. Somehow in taking it out of my pocket and plugging in the ear buds, I'd managed to start playing music. The song when I put my ear buds in? Down to the River to Pray. I looked up, "it's a lake God, not a river. But I get the point." So I walked and talked. Then I put on some praise music and walked a little more. Some times He's subtle, some times He's not.

Do most three year olds know (and use) the words emergency, masquerade, and dangerous?
