8 more days until we find out what gender bohk-soong-ah is!!
Hubby and I grow more anxious everyday. I'm not quite sure how we're going to make it through this next week!

They say a good tip on staying healthy is to eat a rainbow at every meal.

Last night, for the first time in two weeks, Jon came home early enough from work for us to have dinner together. We decided to grill up some chicken with a bit of salt, pepper, rosemary, and lemon. We sauteed some zucchini, yellow squash, and green beans and picked at some grape tomatoes. Dinner was de-lish and the great part is I had some leftover for today. YAY!



I've been talking to a good friend of mine pretty often lately. (She's the one who sent over that last pic btw =]) She's one of the few people besides Jon that I can talk to without any restrictions. Throughout my pregnancy she's been attentive and supportive. She's never tried to tell me what is right or wrong, but has only offered insight on motherhood and a healthy pregnancy. She's a mom! We've spent countless nights on the phone talking about everything from abdominal pain to the ouija board. Don't ask. It seems like conversation possibilities with this woman are endless. She's smart and openminded and is in no shortage of funny.

This pregnancy has given me a chance to really sit down and reflect on my life. Appreciate what I have and cherish it. Family and friends especially. I feel good company is always coming and going and it's really on me to recognize it.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are, and who you want to become.

You never really know who these people may be, but when you lock eyes with them, you know that at any moment they will affect your life in some profound way. Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and even unfair at first, but in reflection, you find that without ever overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you are and who you are to be. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love then back unconditionally, not only because of their love for you, but because they are teaching you to open both your heart and eyes to things.

Make everyday count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never to able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and trust your judgement. For if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life, then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. Most importantly if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow will have in store. Learn a lesson in life each day you live.


"Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday"

Was it worth it?

Cheers.
