I Almost Forgot!

Gung Hey Fat Choy!

Today is Chinese New Year. It's the year of the Rabbit! If you are a rabbit, that means you're turning 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, or 72 this year. Apparently it's supposed to be a good year. We shall see!

I was doing some work last night and by the time I got frustrated enough with the system (system is slow after a certain time), it was already midnight. And crap, I hadn't taken a shower yet.

My mom says NEVER to wash your hair on Chinese New Year. It will wash away all the good luck. Great. I don't only have greasy hair, but I'm also smelly and greasy.

I really want to avoid going out today, but already made a committment to do dinner at Padmanadi's. (If you haven't gone, you must! Their buffet is delicious! Not to mention the owner is one of the nicest man you have ever met) So if you see me, can you just pretend not to? Ignore me, I'm going to look like crap.

At least I'll have all my luck in tact though.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope this year is a lot more peaceful for you than last! Apparently last year being the Tiger year, it was a very up and down year for most.

Thank goodness this baby is a rabbit. My sister is a tiger, and well...(Kelly, if you read this, Je t'aime!)

Humbled by a Contest

About 18 months ago, Bryan and I went through some challenges in our relationship. We were at a point where we were deciding to stay together or separate amicably. It was both a chaotic and peaceful time for us. Chaotic about the unknown, but so much peace that no matter what happened at the end, we had nothing but love for each other. In the midst of it all, I had read about 8 books in 2 months to keep me occupied in the chaos. Then I stumbled onto a book that changed me.  It was a book on my wish list for the past 10 years. Yes, 10 years. And I am not sure what prompted it, but I finally bought the book. I won't go too much into Conversations with God. You can get it and read it if you'd like. It was exactly what I needed at that moment (isn't that always the way?). It gave me the peace I needed to let go of whatever ideas I had about our marriage. And from there, Bryan and I demolished what was, and built something new. A shift happened that I finally truly learned t

And Here He Is...

I haven't had much time to think about writing because well, juggling 3 kids takes up a lot of time! I'm sitting here with maybe 5 minutes to spare before the baby will need attention again, so I better get to typing quick! Each pregnancy has been so different. With Mackenzie, I was miserable for the first 22 weeks with morning sickness, and then I felt like I could be pregnant forever! With Bryanna, I was miserable for the entire 39 weeks. I could not wait for her to get out! With this one, I was miserable for the first 20 weeks with morning sickness, and then great for 17 weeks, and then the last 3 weeks...well, let's just say there were some tears. With it being one of the hottest summers, I could not wait for this baby to get out! Plus the inconvenience of not being able to pick up the girls when I wanted to, or bend down to give them a kiss - I just wanted to be mobile again! So when my first consistent contractions came I was so excited. We even took one last wa

Week 36 - Almost Cooked!

Or as my friend Tara would put it - almost marinated. Baby can come anytime now, but could use 4 more weeks of baking (or at least I could use it). The sleepless nights have begun. I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable as I walk, sleep, and eat. I can only walk so much before I'm out of breath. It takes me a minimum of an hour to fall asleep. And well, I'm feeling pretty nauseous these days, so food is to a minimum. All this is preparing me for when the baby comes, I can't wait! (note sarcasm) Had my baby shower this past weekend and it was great! The ladies in charge did a great job decorating and a lot of people made it out, which was awesome. We bought our first baby item this week - a playpen from Babies R' Us (it was 40% off, I couldn't resist!). Next up on the list is a stroller. STILL trying to figure that out. On top of that, I'm now on the hunt for cloth diapers. Do we just buy the package deal now, or buy a few to try it out to see if we even
