Thankful

...Thankful for in the year 2009...


1. My hubby--- He is the shoulder I lean on and rely on when times get hard and he understands my fears of becoming a new mother. He's my partner in crime and I love him! 2 years and our love is still going strong. I love that he has faith in me and wants all that's best for his 2 girls. He's gonna make an excellent daddy to our little girl.
2. My daughter--- At 31 weeks in my belly, she has changed my life beyond belief. For her I will do the impossible and I am amazed by all she is able to do in such tight quarters. She does somersaults, high kicks, and kung fu kicks... well that's what I picture her doing anyhow. It's amazing to think that back in May when we found out we were pregnant she was the size of a poppy seed and now she's the size of a large jicama or large squash.
3. My family--- My dad and mom, who work their butts off still to have a home for my brother, sister and I to go to when the outside world is scary. My brother and sister whom I share a bond with that no man or woman can ever break. My nephew who at now 21 months, is a little whirlwind who runs thru the house with laughs and giggles and makes life seem so cheery even when the heavy clouds are outside.

4. Our home--- Our first home. We have transformed this former pink paradise to our own. Carpets, ceiling fans, grass, doors, walls out. Now a total transformation. In this house we will welcome our daughter and share so many memories.
5. Having a job--- Even though my location and grade were changed I enjoy having a job that I know I am good at. I miss my 2nd graders but these kinders are getting in there. Tough grade but so rewarding.

Hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving day and that this season bring cheer, joy and all that is great!

So my little nephew was in love with my computer because he's utterly infatuated with himself. Yup... a total narcissistic dude. I guess all guys are but so young. Well here's some pics that this baby kept taking.
He kept squealing every time the camera would say "Say cheese!"

I'm back and still sad...

Well, life has sent me a curb ball which had caused me to not be attentive to blogging but I think I'm ready now so here I am. For three months and three weeks, I had the pleasure of being in my nephew's life. I was there in the room the day he was born from 3 cm to fully dialated to his first scream. I witnessed the most beautiful thing a woman can do. I witnessed his birth and my sister's pass from being just my sister, to being the mother of my nephew. I saw Jakob's first smile, heard one of his first giggles, saw him turn from his belly to his back, cry for no reason, fill a diaper with more than what fits in his belly and everyday I saw him, my heart grew just a bit more. Gosh::: I'm all teary right now::

Well last week, my sister went back up north to Monterey Bay, to "finish school". But I really think she left because she missed her own life. Whatever the reason, I miss her and Jakob. In these last 4 months, our relationship rekindled. What I mean is that in these last four months, we've became sisters again. Since she left we hadn't talked as much but we talked a lot since she got back. I miss her!!! I'm sad but dealing with it.. Aww. Just looking at him makes me sad. That's Jakob's "What's going on?" face... Well, I'll keep you posted on life soon enough. Later...
