How Does Your Garden Grow...

I was feeling quite discouraged about my little "garden". The tomato plants were very little and weak looking, my cucumbers don't look like cucumber plants, the carrots were tiny, and the strawberries looked maybe alright...
But then one day it was like Nordegg garden season opened, and everything started growing and looking green and such. I'm still feeling only slightly hopeful, but things are looking up.

My Tomato Buds:



Strawberry Buds:



Delicious looking Carrots:



Something else that is slowly growing:



(No weight gain yet, just a growing bump)
Babe is now between 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 inches long.
Apparently the size of a fig... which doesn't help me, because I have no idea how big a fig is.
I also read that my uterus is now bigger then a grapefruit... CRAZY.
:)

By the way:
A huge answer to prayer... we got a midwife! We are so excited and thankful that they picked us.
Basically, there is a huge interested in midwives, but not enough midwives to go around. So they do interviews and such and see which couple is the most compatible client. Tim and I had an interview with 2 very nice midwives and found out that we were 1 of 15 couples trying for 4 spots. Not that great of odds, considering this is our first (so usually harder clients). But we prayed about it lots and really felt at peace about whatever happened. A little over a week later I got an email that said that they are very excited to work with us. Tim and I did a little dance with joy. :)
Thanks God!
