Happy Thursday, kids! Despite being 38 weeks pregnant and, therefore, quite the volatile person emotionally (sigh, I know, I’m sorry to everyone around me) life’s pretty great. Here’s my weekly list of love!

THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE THIS WEEK:

• Having Matt over for dinner! I COOKED, Y’ALL! I also made Nutella Cookies! (Thanks, Pinterest!)
• Hanging out with my friends in so many places.
• Fried pickles.
• Getting to meet Wil, Natalie, and Carter (finally) after Facebook stalking them for months!
• Watching Carter dance and give everybody high fives.
• GETTING TO HOLD CARTER.
• Live music, especially when produced by good friends.
• Sleeping in and not having anything to do until 8PM.
• Power-nesting.
• Learning about new pregnancies! YAY!
• Being able to text friends during awkward situations.
• Disney Princess Zombie Apocalypse.
• Getting my world rocked at church.
• Having Kelby take “sexy” photos of me standing in front of an industrial-sized fan. (FYI “sexy” in this context means “not at all sexy”. Ha.)
• Glassboard.
• Hanging out with EJoy and Isaiah at a breastfeeding support group.
• Adorable photos of babies on Instagram.
• Ditto for cats.
• Getting text message pictures of homemade clothes for Dax. SO PRECIOUS.
• Going to coffee shops with books and no agenda.
• Lunch with Audry at Decent Pizza. DROOL.
• Sleep (when I can get it, which is not so frequent lately).
• Randomly running out to get Marble Slab with the hubs.
• A wonderfully uplifting girl-date with Lori.
• CARBS.
• Making a “happy place” list.
• Going to a book store for the sole purpose of purchasing a book that is neither baby- or parenting-related. A book simply for entertainment purposes.
• Having well-read friends I can text for quick book recommendations.
• Being taken care of emotionally and spiritually by good friends.
• My friends starting a Dax Birth Pool! I don’t think any money is involved but I know Kyle already lost. Sorry, dude!
• Counting down the days till motherhood!

Go ahead — make your list!
