I'm sitting here on our loveseat, while Kyle is in the kitchen attempting to make homemade tomato soup. I say attempting, because neither of us knows how it's going to turn out, and also he's making it from watching a video recipe. I am not sure if he's even using measurements. But so far it smells good, so there's that. Also, yesterday, I attempted to be a homemaker by making chocolate chip zucchini bread. It tastes good, but took a lot longer in the oven than it was supposed to, resulting in a hard crust. And I also put in a lot of chocolate chips (Kyle said it was too many) and most of them sunk to the bottom, become part of that crust. So... That was kind of a fail. The recipe itself is really good though, and I've made it in muffins before, so I think I'll stick with muffins. My breads (pumpkin, zucchini) always turn out soggy and undercooked in the middle no matter what I do. So. Muffins it is!



I'm currently 18 weeks along, and we find out the gender of our baby next week. I'm hoping it's still alive in there. I know that sounds weird, but I legitimately worry that it' snot going to make it. I'm paranoid, I guess you could say. Although I have been feeling what I think is the baby move. And also my belly is growing, so all signs point to a living baby. During the anatomy scan is when they check baby out and make sure it is growing properly and healthily so I hope everything looks good. Of course, even if our baby is not 100% healthy, we will love it and care for it and raise it. Don't you worry about that.


I'm really happy to be able to do stuff again instead of sitting  on the couch feeling sick to my stomach 24/7. Thanks, first trimester for ending.


In NON BABY  news, we go to California in 3 weeks. I'm am mainly so excited to see my freaking cute niece and my twin baby boys! Obviously they are nephews, not mine, and they are two, so not babies, but whatever. I love them so much. Oh. And see Blaine and Brooke, too. And eat at Chick-Fil-A. AND THEN we get to go to Anaheim, and Disneyland, and Ayisha is coming to meet us and it will be SO FUN. As you can tell by my excessively use of caps.


So. There's an update for this companion blog of mine that no one reads. But I am really glad I have it. Except sometimes I forget that it exists, so sorry, blog.
