This is probably one of the most unrestful nights I’ve had – although I’m sure more will follow that will make this one look pretty darn good in comparison. Today is the start of my 36th week of pregnancy. I went to bed at 10:30pm and then was awakened by discomfort and a full bladder… Continue reading Restless in Santa Ana
I almost want to kick myself for using that analogy, but taking into consideration the time of day (10:43pm) I think it’s actually quite fitting. I had forgotten how difficult and uncomfortable the tail end of the third trimester can be. All things considered, I think I’m a bit smaller this time around then I… Continue reading I’ve swallowed a wrecking ball
That’s what our little growing baby feels like sometimes inside of me. I like to imagine that when I feel that popping popcorn sensation it’s her way of telling me that she’s hungry and needs food now, since meal time is about the time it tends to happen most.

I was doing some light exercises in the living room and then happened to glance in the mirrors we have and felt such a glow and happiness to see my big round belly and I felt absolutely beautiful. It was… Continue reading Round and Beautiful
I had two really neat encounters with complete strangers this week and it made me think about my experience with strangers as I was growing up. Of my brother and I, I remember being the shy and introverted girl while my brother was always the one striking up conversations with strangers, as in literally like by… Continue reading Friendly Encounters
It’s interesting how change and flexibility work and how we process and accept it in our minds. How depending on what the situation is, you either openly accept change and embrace flexibility or you let yourself get frustrated by it. As I logged in to wordpress I noticed that a few changes had been made to it… Continue reading Embracing Flexibility
Sometimes I get a little antsy or anxious and I find that when I write it’s like this current passes through me and the feelings spill through my fingers with each word that I create and clarity always seems to follow. My thoughts are a jumble right now so bear with me… Today I start my 32nd week in… Continue reading Relief
When I was in High School I had this vision of graduating from college with a degree in English at age 22 and then of course meeting the love of my life and getting married by age 24 and having my first child within a couple of years of that.
