Top Ten Reasons Today is a Beautiful Day:
1. My headache went away before noon.
2. At noon, I went to the farmers’ market and bought the first Macintosh apples of the fall to make an apple pie.
3. That means that at 6 p.m. tonight, I will be barefoot and pregnant, in the kitchen, and therein, fulfilling a lifelong dream.
4. I am wearing my go-to red heels.
5. I think they may just have scored me a discount on the apples.
6. Speaking of apples, my baby is now about the size of an apple, and I’m proud of all the hard work it took to get to this point!
7. I felt the baby move for the first time a few nights ago, so every minute of every day I am waiting to feel him/her again so my world can stop.
8. Mr. Marvelous.
9. I know that tonight, by 7:30 p.m., Mr. Marvelous will be sitting with me on the sofa, eating homemade apple pie, and talking to our baby.
10. GOD IS GOOD.
So what is beautiful in your world?
That is so sweet! Today isn’t a fabulous day for me actually, but I’m trying to focus on the good despite the bad!
Mmmm. God is good – on so many levels. What a wonderful time in your life this is. The anticipation of a new baby AND homemade apple pie? I don’t think you can get much better than that.
What is good in my world? It’s raining outside and I love it. My kids love to play in the rain and the giggles that I get to hear because of it melt my heart. Nap time is lasting a little longer than usually so I am getting a few more things accomplished…I could go on and on. ;D
Enjoy your baby conversations and your pie.
This is my first time commenting! Woo hoo!
Those apples look delicious! Makes me want some homemade apple pie right now, too!
Something good in my world right now? Let’s see: My work day is almost over! 🙂
This might be my favorite blog post I’ve ever read! I’m not sure what it is about it, but I love it. Congratulations!
And maybe this time next year, you will be in the kitchen making homemade applesauce to put up for baby food?!
Beautiful in my life? Everything.
