1. Delicious Tillamook ice cream (on sale at Albertsons!) and playing Lego Lord of the Rings with my husband on Friday night.
2. A little girl who, in spite of already starting to experience the frustrations of toddlerhood and being unable to communicate what's bothering her, is full of delight in life. Her happy grin at me while we're swinging in the hammock can't help but make me happy, too.
3. Homemade peanut butter. So, so good.
And one things that didn't make my week: Dr Gosnell, the abortionist on trial for multiple counts of murder. But i think this case has the opportunity to change the course of history, and i'm praying it does. I just passed the 24-week mark of pregnancy this week and it surpasses belief that abortion has been legal to that point. Baby P has been extremely active for many weeks now, and we've known for over a month that she's a girl. It goes against all common sense to say that she could be killed just because she couldn't survive outside the womb yet, and if I had gone into labor someone could have snipped her spinal cord as she came out and not be culpable for her death. I know abortion activists are trying to spin this trial in their favor by saying instruments should have been sterile in this clinic, patients should have been cared for properly, blood shouldn't have been all over the floor. But that's missing the point, which i hope the rest of America gets: sterile or not, those are still instruments of death. Whether you clean it up hygienically or not, that fetus still bleeds all over - type A or B or AB or O, just like you or me.
Anyway, that's been weighing on my heart this week.
Maybe there are four little things that made my week, though. The apple branches i brought inside a few weeks ago have unfurled soft leaves and now have flower buds. All that was hidden inside a tiny bud not long ago!
