Grace in Small Things, September 15, 2011

1. It's been cloudy and rainy and cool here after a long, hot summer. Loving the rain right now.

2. Have gotten into a really nice groove with some writing I'm doing...three pages a day seems to be the magic number. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up, and it's not overwhelming...I can fit three pages a day in with my work schedule and whatever else I've got going on.

3. Today is tax day (I freelance, so have to pay quarterly taxes)...grateful that I have work and thus need to pay taxes. :)

4. The fear of miscarriage that's been so front-and-center with this pregnancy is essentially gone. It's a little scary to let go of it, because now if something happens we've started getting our hopes up and will be devastated...but the truth is, we would have been devastated losing our babies at any point in this process...it's so good to finally feel like I can relax a little...

5. Been talking a lot with my husband about what's going to happen when he finishes school in May...so excited for that! Him going back to school hasn't been too hard on us, but it's going to be great to have both of us working again (and I'll only be working part-time-ish after the babies arrive/I take my maternity leave, which will be lovely).

XOXO
