Around here, spring has sprung. The days have warmed up, flowers are sprouting, the garden is underway and the fruit trees we planted are doing awesome. Of course, I'm growing too. Here's a snap shot of all things in bloom...
It is really hard to take a photo and capture a baby belly. Trust me, I'm growing and definitely look pregnant now. Well, I feel extra heavy but have been assured I have a cute baby bump. I'm looking forward to feeling baby movement which should happen anytime in the next couple of weeks. My belly has pushed out and has pushed up to start covering my ribs (I can only feel the sides of my ribs).
Today starts our 16th week, yay! The baby is estimated to be the size of an avocado, last week it was the size of an apple. Estimated length is 4-1/2 inches and weighing about 3-1/2 ounces.
This week I started feeling better. The nausea is nearly gone, my energy is coming back. It's great to start feeling a little more like myself.
All the fruit trees we planted in January are showing growth. Above is a golden apple. Look at all the green growth--I'm so excited!
This is a peach and the one I was most worried about. It arrived with very little in the way of branches and is at least a year older than I was expecting. Looks like this guy is going to pull through. In the background is Elena's pool, set up and warming up. Today we are supposed to get to 82...then tomorrow cool down a bit for the upcoming week and most likely rain.
We have 2 nectarines, both have these beautiful pink blossoms. I might be in love with flowering fruit trees....I think I need more ;)
Purple flowers growing in the weeds oops, I mean grass :)
We're trying strawberries in pots this year to control slugs. Last year slugs loved our strawberries.
Seedlings are popping up in the garden...along with some grass. We'll be in there weeding soon.
We even have a second batch of yellow roses coming in.
Welcome Spring!
Every thing is looking good, blooming and growing. Thank you for sharing, miss you guys.
