Happy 33rd birthday to me! I’m pregnant!

6 Mar

OMG!

I promised months ago, in this post that I would tell you all how I found out I was pregnant with baby number two.  I had thought that I lost all my photos from this memorable night when my old lap top died and as a result I had lost momentum to blog about it. You see, the pictures tell the story better than I ever could.  In fact, just Tuesday night I was sharing with some friends how sad I was that these pictures were gone.  Well, today, I stumbled across an old camera chip, and when I popped it in, there they all were, photos from my 33rd birthday and the night I found out, surprisingly, that I was pregnant.

The Importance of Hand Holding

25 Jan

Peter and I had a date this weekend.  We sat together in a quiet Vietnamese restaurant drinking hot Jasmine tea with our spring rolls and huge bowls of Pho soup while we held hands across the table. Phones off.  Eye contact strong. Fingers tangled together.

31 Oct

Me, around 5 years old. I loved that dress and that puppy!

Rocks in a Tin Can

5 Apr

I know I should be reading all my required reading for my doula certification with DONA.  However, I’m not in the mood to study.  I’ve had a few things tumbling through my head lately, like rocks in a tin can.   I’ve been thinking about the idea of writing a letter to my 20 year-old-self.  My older me giving advice to my younger me.  You get the idea.  And, if you do the same, post a link to your blog in a comment so we can commiserate our stupidity and greatness together. Okay, not to make too much of a fuss, here are a few things I would tell myself, in no particular order. Continue reading →
