Today is Wishcasting Wednesday. And I have been so absent from the blogging world that it took a lot for me to come back even though it is so relieving whenever I post. So, I am re-emerging myself into this space, with quite a question from Jamie this week.
What do you wish to take a break from?
Hmmm.....
I'm actually tired of taking a break. I haven't been to work in a week and a half and I don't really want to go back. Being around people right now is so taxing.
I guess you could say that I want to take a break from being on break. I'm ready (ish) for this new change. I'm ready for life to get back to normal. Well, as normal as it can get after a baby is born. I wish to take a break from my own brain, from the waiting, and most of all from my whiny self. But, all that aside, life is life, and I really am blessed with an amazing husband, a great job, a loving family, and that is what I never want a break from.

Signs of a Blessed Pregnant Woman
Many days I sit back and thank God for the many blessings in life. This past week has been one filled with God's blessings through many different people. I must admit that lately I have been tired and overwhelmed from different things in life, and of course God provides us with more grace and understanding than we can handle. It's a good thing.
Let me start with a co-worker of Wade's. She called and said, 'I know what it's like this stage in the pregnancy, I want to come clean your house.' Um, I would have been an idiot not to take her up on this offer. It made me cry a little, seeing as I hadn't had the energy or willpower to even do the dishes in like 2 weeks. So, we got kicked out of our house and went on a date and got home and the house was spit-shined and amazing! I've never been able to get my floors this clean. Seriously. Blessing #1.
Number Dos: Friends. They are like gold. I have had some great times with some around here lately. From our super short Super Bowl party (a sign that we are getting all growned up.) To the days I get to spend with my new, dear friend Megan. I'm telling you, it takes a true friend to go with you to a breastfeeding workshop when she's not even preggers. Of course, we went to the bead store, Chick-fil-A and looked for Valentine's stuff for the hubbies. It was a relaxing night out. (Although the workshop was simply a joke of a DVD.) Definitely a needed evening of pure joy and fun.
And probably my favorite pregnant blessing of the week (besides the fact that I have life growing within me, that's a constant one, though) is this: the other night I had been so tired, I think I slept on average about 13 hours this past weekend, anyway, I mentioned how great a bubble bath would be. The next thing I knew, my wonderful husband had scrubbed the tub down (although I think it had been scrubbed previously by afore mentioned house cleaning) and then he drew me a nice warm bubble bath, complete with my current read, a hot cup of peppermint tea, and candlelight. It was so relaxing, I think I spent at least an hour and a half in the tub while Husband and Dog were playing on the ukulele. In fact, I think I may repeat that about right now....
May every pregnant woman have as many great people in her life as I do!
