Today started with a dentist’s appointment to make sure the stains on
David’s teeth were just stains. It turns out they were nothing to worry
about and they cleaned them too so now he’s all shiny white.
Early morning David jumped in my bed and we played together. We play
this game where we tell each other how many times we love each other.
Ten times! Twenty times! This morning he said “five teen times!” and
then he leaned over and whispered in my ear “With all my heart.” I love
him so.
And it’s what’s keeping me going right now because I’ve been feeling
really sick and out of it lately. I am constantly tired and can’t seem
to eat anything at all with out feeling terrible afterwards. Considering
I am almost 7 months, that’s just crazy.
We took out the baby stuff this weekend and one of the items was this
little swing which David really likes now and yesterday he buckled his
little teddy in and swung it gently. I think this boy’s ready for a
sibling, don’t you?
Big day in the United States today. I cannot tell you how proud I am to
be a part of this historic day and this wonderful nation.
David and I watched together this morning and he made sure his Wall-e
was watching too.
Tonight, David asked me to come to the fridge for a minute and I thought
he was going to ask me to help with the letters but when I went there,
this is what I found. Isn’t he the sweetest?
I mistakenly thought it must be a good idea to try to get off the
medication again two days ago and it turns out I was wrong again. I have
severe allergies and was unable to function all day today. Yuk. Back on
the medicine, sadly. And a fully wasted day.
Last night, I had such a surge of love for David that I almost woke him
up just to give him a hug and tell him I loved him. It took all my
strength not to wake him up. It’s really amazing how very much I love him.
Here’s a shot I took while we went out for ice cream this afternoon.
Big day tomorrow. See you then.
This week’s question was “Am I afraid of change?”
With a new baby on the way, I decided change is inevitable for us and I
might as well embrace it. Hence the heart and the clasp over it.
I used UTEE to stamp “laugh” and grunge board for the heart and the
clasp. I put a little glossy accent on the heart swirls just to have
them stick out a bit.
Catalyst forty-five is up at creative therapy: If
you got to write a book/movie/song what would it be about?
Here are my words:
I actually wrote books for a while and this is a poster I made in a
design class I took. This poster is for the first book I wrote. It’s
about a girl who goes back home to take care of her mother with whom she
has some deep issues and reconnects with her highschool love. In the
book, the mom has lupus which is called the butterfly disease, hence the
butterfly on the cover.
I love reading mainstream fiction and about strong characters and their
connections to each other and those are the kind of books I’d like to
write. I don’t dream of many many things in my life but writing a book
and getting published is a lifelong dream. I yearn to write and to write
well. Maybe one day…
Today we needed to get the cars serviced since we’re going to CHA next
week. So we all went to the dealership and I, once again, realized how
wonderful our little boy is. He immediately started playing with the
legos and told himself stories, created worlds and even found the other
kids at the place to encourage them to play with him. He’s a true joy. I
am deeply thankful.
We spent hours last night putting these stars up in David’s room. He’s
been unhappy when the room is pitch black and often asks us to leave
the bathroom light on all night. I thought this would be a cheaper and
cooler alternative. So far, it’s a huge hit.
I wanted this to be our photo of the day because I noticed this table as
soon as I walked into the classroom and it looked so inviting. I only
wish when I was David’s age, my classrooms had looked like this. See the
before photo:
Doesn’t it look so inviting? It made me want to sit down and do some
art. But I must say the first thing David noticed were these gymnastics
pieces and he wanted to play immediately.
while that one made me smile, this one made me realize our skateboarding
days are not too far:
which scares me quite a bit.
Today we were late to school and normally David always complains about
washing his hands when we walk in but not today. He went right to the
bathroom and washed them so he could join in on the fun. Made me wonder
if we should be late everyday…
Still way too tired.
Last night we launched a product we’ve been working on for a while so it
was a big moment for me and my team and I wanted to commemorate it. Love
this product and the team working on it.
Here’s a shot of the little one cause I am trying to make sure I have
many of those:
The tree is finally down. I guess I really was ready cause I don’t feel
so sad about it anymore. David was ok with it, too, though he was a bit
bummed. Still more tired than I’d like but things are improving a bit.
So far so good in 2009 and I am managing to stay peaceful which makes me
feel happy.
Another shot of David at school. No I never get sick of these. I
especially want to remember the band-aid on his finger cause he’s been
obsessed with band-aids lately and will not let me take them off. Not
sure how we will ever get him off it but we’re indulging him for now.
Busy day at work today, maybe I’ll post it as my photo of the day
tomorrow. Otherwise, feeling good about the bunch I accomplished over
the weekend though I have a lot more to do. Will finally take the
Christmas ornaments down today (I think I might be ready at last) and
Jake will have to chop up the tree this week. Still really exhausted but
I’m starting to make my peace with it I think.
