365/171: When I became a mom & a garden update

How did you feel the moment you became a parent?

Most people think the day they become a parent is the day their first child is born. I disagree. I felt like a mother the moment I got my first positive pregnancy test. I felt like suddenly my life had more meaning. I had this little being who was relying on me completely. Sadly, my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. It isn't something I like to talk about, but it happened. I had this strong feeling that this baby was going to be our son. I even named him, Logan. I was a mother without a child for another 2 years until Miss McKayla made her appearance.

 

And on a lighter note, the garden is moving along nicely. We got our first "harvest"

Almost too much to handle! I can't wait until they really start coming off the plants! =) It was enough beans for everyone to have one. Well, I got two since Jimmy isn't a big vegetable fan. His loss. lol.

Making an attempt this week to kill the ants that I think are eating my peppers. I am starting with soap water, see if that works. I got tons of the weeds out this weekend, so it is looking much better! The rest of the plants all seem to be doing great. Again, I can't wait until later this summer when we really start getting lots of veggies!
