Someone emailed me an article about products from the 1977 JC Penny Catalog. It is amazing how fashions change over decades. Personally I think most of the styles from the 70's were pretty creative. I admit I rock some of my mom's old shirts from the 70's and I like to get some pieces when I go to vintage clothing stores. I also believe most of the styles today are influenced by the styles of the last couple of decades. The 80's and early 90's were a little too much in my taste.

I celebrated my first Mother's Day this past Sunday! We told the world we are expecting a baby on November 19th, 2009. We are so excited. What is even better about this news is that both of my older brother's wives are expecting, my husband's sister, and one of my best friends are all pregnant! Our baby will have many playmates and we will have a strong parent support group which keeps our nerves at rest ;) I can not wait to find out if it is a boy or girl. I will have to wait until the end of June or beginning of July when I will be 20 weeks pregnant. I was feeling sick and tired but I am starting to feel better in my 2nd trimester. I pretty much just get really tired at night so I can not go out as much. Hopefully that will fade soon too. I do not like when I can not do that much.

I can't believe it is May already and we have been in our first house for two years! Hopefully this rain ends in time for the weekend. We are celebrating my husband's birthday and Mother's Day. Either way I am happy it is warmer out and my flowers are starting to bloom. I planted some herbs already and I want to plant some veggies. We tried to grow different kinds of vegetables from seed last year but only a couple of plants made it. The tomatoes were especially successful. I think I am just going to get some plants this year. I don't have the time to do it from seed this year and I think its already to late to start if I actually want to enjoy what is harvest this summer ;) I would like to try to grow some eggplant and some type of berry this year. I wish we could grow an avocado tree but our winters are too cold.
