MARCH!

I am so frickin' happy that it is March!

There are many reasons but I'd say that the number one reason is that it means spring is coming!  The grass is thinking about turning green and the daffodils are blooming.  My Bradford Pear trees in my yard also have little buds on them.  The lake is starting to come back up.  (I live on a lake and every winter for 3 months they take it down either 3, 5, or 9 feet.  They do this so repairs can be made to the dam and so you can have work done on your dock or your seawall, if needed).  


So, since the lake is about to be up that means it is time to get the boat out of storage!  Hells yeah!   We love taking boat rides in the evening as the sun is going down.  Hubs actually proposed to me on the boat at sunset....he's so sweet!   I seriously heart spring.....I start to get really depressed in January when it is so gloomy.  But once March rolls around I begin to feel MUCH better....I swear it gives me a renewed zest for life....does that sound weird?


March means that it will be warm enough to start eating dinner on the deck.  We do this a lot during the spring.  It is just so peaceful to be outside.  No TV...no distractions....just us....


March is also awesome because my birthday is in March!  I love my birthday....always have.  I think it is because we have always made a big deal out of birthdays in my family.  It is on March 17 which is St. Patrick's Day.  It has always been a fun birthday...something always going on.  Oh, and people never forget it!  There is a parade downtown every year on my birthday and it is way fun....super cheesy...but so fun!  Here I am in my parade get-up the past two years.  

My "crown" says Irish Princess (and yes...I am actually Irish!)  But it would be better if it said Southern Irish Princess ;)

I will be pregnant on my birthday this year which just makes all that I said above even better...can't lie about that.  I have hoped to be pregnant on my birthday for the past few years and now it is happening.  I will be 29 and I am just so so so thankful to be where I am right this very minute.  There were plenty of times that I was scared that this might not happen for us.  There are plenty of times even now that I am scared it will all be taken away suddenly.  You would think I would want take a little peek at the baby when I'm at work but I am scared to death to look now!  Scared of bad news....scared of it all crashing down on me.  I don't go back to work until next Wednesday so I don't have to think about it.  I am just going to enjoy the fact that it is March and evil winter is on its way out!


I am 7 weeks today.  Sweet!  My symptoms are pretty much the same as they were in this post.  I have had some nausea the past few nights though...right about this time actually.  I thought I was going to get sick last night but it passed.  Hopefully I will get to miss out on the terrible nausea and vomiting....a girl can hope can't she??


Happy March everyone!  I hope that it is a great month for all of us!!!
