12/1/18 - Surprises coming up!

Last night I stayed up past midnight finishing (at least the first version) of my "Life is a Rock" music video for Dad's birthday next year. It's a montage of home videos of our family dancing, and I love the final product so much that I actually couldn't sleep. I woke up over and over with the song in my head wishing Jack was already awake so I could show it to him. But if you're going to wake up a lot, I guess happy excitement is a good reason to do it.

On top of that, Jack and I are trying to get pregnant and while I haven't taken a test yet, I am more sure each day that I probably am, and that delights me. I remember feeling some trepidation with Clara's pregnancy and some with Jane's too (former being more fear of the unknown and the latter being dread of the known, haha) and I'm sure I'll go through phases of that here, but for now I am just so excited. I love babies, and I love being a mom. I also love that when I first told Jack I hadn't started my period yet, his response was "eeeeeeeeeeeee." Lol. Usually only Mom gives that excited squeal type response. I love that Jack is also really excited.

In smaller but still happy news, it is now December, and Starbucks is decked in holiday stuff and random strangers are wearing goofy Christmas sweaters. It's been raining a lot the last day or two and I LOVE it. Wouldn't mind if it was a lot more often. And it's only a week until our hot chocolate potluck and only about a week and a half until we go to Missouri, a trip for which we already have a lot of fun plans.

Good day.
