16 weeks!

Today marks 16 weeks in my pregnancy. I'm still doing really well with the lowered dosage of reglan, so I'm hopeful that in the next couple of weeks we'll be able to stop the pump altogether. So exciting!

In garden news...I bought trellises for the peas and cucumbers (if the cucumbers sit on the dirt they have a tendency to rot from the bottom up, so I have a trellis in the hopes that they'll get big enough to hang over the trellis without being so big that they fall off the vines). The cucumbers still aren't quite tall enough to reach the bottom tier of the trellis though. The peas, on the other hand, watch out! The peas are already starting to attach themselves to the trellis and getting taller by the day. I can't wait for them to start sprouting peas. The lettuce isn't growing quite as quickly, but it's getting there. It may just be that they're not going to grow as tall. Speaking of lettuce, that reminds me of my tip for if you're going to start your own garden: don't use clay pots! I know a lot of people love clay pots because they're heavier and all, but in reality, they're more prone to breakage and they absorb the water pretty quickly. I have one of my lettuce plants in a clay pot that I happened to have before I started the garden, and I have to water it about twice as often as the other plants and it's still not growing as well as the other lettuces, which are in a glazed porcelain pot that doesn't absorb the water. The plants that are doing the best, however, are the ones that I have in these huge plastic pots that I got. I think it has to do with having more room for their roots to grow.
