Baby Love Is...

Reading to your little one before they can probably even hear you...on the rocker in the room where you will sleep and have baby dreams.  And whenever I read this one, I always end up in tears because I know how much I love you already.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog

Since reading "The Help" I have yet to read a book as moving, witty, humorous, and thought provoking as "The Elegance of the Hedgehog".  You are thrown into a story with layers of culture, class, philosophy, art, and human kindness and friendship.  And as you complete the last page, you will be asking yourself a question, but it may not be the same question as your counterpart who read it just before you.  For me, it was "What do I fear so that I am not fully living?".   And as I ponder the very question, while typing this, and wiping tears and snot from my face, I can easily tell you that this was one of the best books I have ever read.

Never Too Early!

That must be my motto, because as everyone knows, I am not late with anything, and early to a fault with everything else.  Ok, maybe I'm late sending birthday cards.  But, this time, Rafa was on board with my "never too early" and we ordered the baby room furniture.  It is a simple little sleigh set in Cherry color that comes with a crib, dresser and changing table. So far, we have only put together the crib.  But who's in a rush anyhow :)  But, we did put the glider together (in the way back).  Momma needs a comfy place to sit, or sleep!

AIDS Walk

Last weekend, we joined a group of friends for the AIDS Walk downtown.  It was a nice brisk fall walk all for a good cause.

Christmas Came Early....For Baby!

Everyone has been so generous; family, friends, work...cards, scrapbooks, books, and even a duck outfit!  And there were even a few books for Rafa and I to get us all ready for baby!  Thanks to everyone who has been so kind, especially to our little one : )

Flowers to Brighten a Day

From Rafa love, just because : )

Love Is...

Your husband telling you out of the blue that you will be a good mom.  This means so much to me and just one of the many reasons he is perfect for me.
And his silliness sure helps too :-)
