Burgers n' Sweet Tea
Yesterday we had my brother and some South Carolinian friends over for a modified cold-weather-cookout. Well, Matthew was the only one who braved the weather to cook the burgers while the rest of us waited inside and drank our good ol' SWEET southern tea. It was fun to carry on the tradition of Sunday meals with friends. Now that we're closer to our church, maybe we can do more of that.
The rest of the weekend was nice and chilled out. We finally got our DSL up and running at our house (Woo-hoo!) and got some pictures of our place that we'll put on the famdamily blog sometime this week. I had a scare last week with some pretty intense headaches and loosing my eye sight at times on Wednesday. My midwife sent me to the doctor to rule out pre-eclampsia (a random pregnancy issue that some women have...not QUITE sure what it is, but I know it's not good). Well they did rule that out and guessed that it was probably just migraines. So that was the "good" news...even though there isn't a great solution to getting rid of them. Today one hit so hard my eyes started watering...weird.
And the babe is definately getting stronger...working on those soccer legs (to take after his "Aunt" Amberleigh :0) Last night laying in bed he started kicking up a storm, which was so much fun for Matthew since he hadn't felt that many kicks and such forceful ones yet! We sat there and watched my stomach bounce as he rolled around and flailed his arms & legs. It's so surreal to see that and know it's a person doing that who's living inside me and not just my stomach growling or some muscle spasming. Yes, we continue to be in awe of this whole process of God fusing genes into a whole new person and soul!
Mmm, and if anyone is a mexican food buff, we found an AWESOME recipe for green enchiladas with...get this...cottage cheese?! Sounds sketchy, but holy mole, they were incredible! Ask birthday girl, Mary O (if you know her :0)...they were her bday meal at our house this past week. It was a random recipe we played around with to suit our tastes and they definately worked!! If you want it, feel free to email me: amy@artiswork.org.
