R U Ready?

I can hardly believe I made it to my third trimester! It's all the more joyful considering earlier this year, I had a miscarriage and I thought I would never have a child considering my endometriosis, which I was diagnoses with at the age of 21. Carrying around that first pregnancy will likely stay with me for the rest of my life, as that baby girl was due Sept 11th but at least it's true what they say, time heals pain. It makes this pregnancy all the more precious as I know how precious life can be. At any given moment life can and will expire. So as my pregnancy continues, I do take much joy in this baby girl and thank God every day that I was able to have a second chance. Only 8 weeks left and I pray to make it to the finish line with baby girl in arm, breathing, heathy and most of all, alive, to enjoy life's wonders.

I always knew I wanted a child but you know, when you grow up and you have a career and a husband who has a crazy career just like you, you begin to wonder if perhaps a child fits into your life. Throw in a little bit of feeling like a child yourself and it gives a person a reason to doubt. I think it's true what they say, you can never really prepare or be ready for children. I think you just have to have hope that your good sense will carry you through. If I continued to wait to feel absolutely ready, I am not sure I would be pregnant right now.

Luckily about a year to two years ago my doctor warned me I was advancing in age and hubby and i took that as a sign to see what would happen. Well, what would happen is now 44 inches in belly length!

I am just starting to see what this child rearing business is like. I know it will be tough but I can already see it will be very rewarding. I am looking foward to the unknown. As i see it life would be very boring if you always knew what was going to happen and generally its more fun when there are people around you, that you love and enjoy the journey with. So now in my advanged age, I can say I am looking forward to this baby girl and all the surprises that come with being a parent.

Children really are a blessing and I am just glad that I recognized that I needed to take the leap at the age I was. I hope with my life experience thus far I can be a really good mom. I may not have all the energy of a 20 year old but alas I have just as much excitement and will power.

As hubby and I put the last touches of baby girls room together and go through the list of items we think we need for her, I can honestly say i am looking forward to meeting her. Oddly I am not scared. I know there are things I will have to learn but that is life. Learning along the way. I am jsut trying to enjoy it as much as I can. Even if I can't have all the sugary sweets I see, I am enjoying it because you know life is precious and some higher power is entrusting me and hubby with a soul to guide and develop. And for me, that is very exciting.

Everyone, is always asking me if I am ready. I like to think I am a highly responsible person so taking on such a big responsibility is a big thing to me and not something I want to screw up.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
