Right This Moment…

This post has been popping up from many of my favorite bloggers, and to be honest, these are some of my favorite kind of posts to read and write. Plus, it's been a hot minute since I last did one of these.

Here is life right this moment. 

***

Making:: Actually, I'm not making… These are already made: Valentine's Rice Crispy treats, inspired by Amanda. Huge hit with Marcus. And me.

Drinking:: All the water. Because coffee doesn't sound at all appealing (this is coming from the world's biggest coffee drinker). But carmel frappacinos, I'll take one of those every morning please and thank you very much.

Reading:: The Gentleman's Agreement (Laura Z. Hobson). I'm about half way through it and just can't get into it. There's a copy of Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern) on my bed stand that is BEGGING to be picked up. I might have to make the switch. But, if I'm recommending any books that I've read recently and think you should pick up ASAP: Land of Shadows (murder/thriller:: Rachel Howzell Hall) and The Girl on the Train (think Gone Girl, but dare I even say a little better…? :: Paula Hawkins).

Planning:: All things baby. There are lists on top of lists for things that I need/want done for this little peanut.

Wanting:: A WALDORF SALAD from Cheesecake Factory. That craving hasn't been fulfilled and I just want one so badly. Scott, if you're reading this, a Waldorf Salad is all I want for Valentine's Day.

Looking:: Like a full time domestic engineer. I'm forever in running shorts/pants, a workout top, hair in a pony, and feet in running shoes. It's a glamours life I tell ya.

Playing:: Trivia Crack. The name speaks for itself. Download the app and add me @desireedudding.

Wishing:: Naps were still happening. The past couple of days naps haven't occurred and Marcus has gone on through the day like no naps are no big deal (nooooooooo!). I'm pretty sure those are a thing of the past. Insert all the sad faces.

Enjoying:: The crazy awesome weather we've been experiencing. It's like summer. In February.

Missing:: Family. The Midwest. I miss home (even the great SoCal weather can't beat family).

Waiting:: To get a nursery started.

I want to recreate this room in the worst way.

Wondering:: Is this little peanut is a boy or a girl. Will he/she look like me? Like Scott? Like Marcus?

Loving:: The thought of a beach-y vacation we have coming up in a few months. It will be so nice to get away for a few days, have Grandma and Grandpa around to help with Marcus, and just relax while sipping all the virgin drinks.

Marvelling:: At what a little boy my baby has become. I blinked and (almost) three years has passed. How does that happen?

Needing:: Sleep. Always, always sleep.

Noticing:: My boobs and butt are forever getting bigger. At this rate I'm starting to think my stomach will never catch up.

Worrying:: About a million things. Is Marcus getting enough of the right foods (mac and cheese doesn't count)? Am I stimulating Marcus' little mind enough throughout the day? How is M² doing? Am I doing everything I can to stay as healthy as possible for the little peanut? The list of worries is never ending.

Feeling:: All the feelings. All the time. I'm pregnant.
