Prognostications of precipitation produces protuberant pronunciations

As April comes to a close, I am really enjoying the warmer weather, colorful garden, and long walks in the park. Ramping up a few projects and finishing others have kept me busy as well. Aaron and Janelle came over the other day and helped me lay the groundwork for my raised bed. In the baby's room, one out of three mandalas have been completed as shown in the picture below. The next step for that room is ripping up the carpet and laying wood floors. Anyone who wants to partake in carpet demolition, please let me know! It makes my sinuses fill up just thinking about it....
Food, from preparation, eating, and cleaning up, invariably occupies a slice of everyday. I have been learning to cook on the grill. We are always perfecting our homemade pizza pies. In addition Derek and I are preparing food for the local Obama headquarters in our area. No doubt we've fed the economy quite a bit through feeding ourselves and others. You're welcome Costco and Trader Joes!
Yesterday I went for my monthly OB appointment and realized I am heading into my third trimester in a few weeks. It has all gone so fast! I have gained 1.4 stones (I'm making it cryptic so you have to work to figure that out) since I've become pregnant. It's all staying in the tummy (for now) probably because of my daily walks and house projects. Boy oh boy Theo going to be a big boy...did I say I wanted a natural childbirth???
I will end with a witty poem by Ogden Nash titled The Parent.

Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore,
And that's what parents were created for.
