Currently

I used to do these "Currently" updates, which I stole from my sister Lisa. But I think it's kind of a fun way to recap your current "season". 

Reading: Oh, 3 pregnancy/parenting books. I sort of jump from 1 to the next. 'Sh!t they don't tell you have pregnancy", "Sh!t they don't tell you about the 1st year as a mother", and "Expecting Better". Honestly, these all are amazing books and I would highly recommend them to anyone expecting! The 1st 2 are absolutely hilarious and have a huge amount of raw honesty - which I appreciate with my humor.

Thinking: About the baby nursery. I kind of want to do an under-the-sea theme because we love scuba diving. It would be cute to have little octopus and mermaids to decorate the room. The other theme is outdoors - and have cactus, javelina, and tortoises? 

Although we are having a girl - I do not want a pink room. 

Feeling: I sound a little like a broken record, but I have been feeling a little "down". I'm just tired of feeling like throwing up, and now I'm not really sleeping b/c nausea has decided to keep me up at night. The past 2 nights I've been up every hour. 

That combined with the decreased social interaction secondary to COVID19 and everything being closed/canceled - it is just sort of getting me. 

Anticipating: Thanksgiving :D That is really far off. But Ryan and I are booking a log cabin in Prescott, AZ for the long weekend. It will be in the pines. We plan on cooking our Thanksgiving dinner, doing a lot of hiking, reading, and relaxing. Prescott is also called "The Christmas City" and  it gets very decorated for Christmas - so it will be fun to walk around the town square. 

This is Prescott @ Christmastime. Isn't it so dreamy? I adore all things Christmas, so this will be a really fun way to celebrate our "babymoon" 

Working: On wrapping up and passing off my projects, since I only have 3 weeks left in my current role. I was in the middle of some big projects - so hoping I can get them in a good place before transferring! 

Grateful: For a husband I actually like. During COVID, he has really become my everything since I'm kind of 'stuck' with him all the time. I still legitimately enjoy our time together. 

Also, I probably haven't been the most fun person to be around these past few months, and he has been very sweet and patient. He offers me ice water and crackers in the middle of the night when I'm not feeling well, he booked me a massage last week, and even cooks me breakfast some mornings when he is home (because he works kind of a weird schedule). 

Listening: To Sirius XM Chill radio a lot. We got a new vehicle last month, and I get a 3 month subscription to Sirius XM radio. I won't continue the service beyond that - but I sure am enjoying it while we can!! 

Wishing: For survival through these next, now, 15 weeks of grad school! I started my capstone on Wednesday. I spent a total of 11 hours this weekend doing homework. By the end of the school week, the count will be around 20! I cannot wait to be done!!!
