Ok...
So here I am again. It must be my pre-partum hormones kicking in or something because I just feel so so so anxious all the time. Of course anxious for baby to come out but anxious to get everything done BEFORE he comes too. I need to post, I need to email about a dozen people, I need to go after a gazillion things, I need this and that and this and that and more...Ugh. And I feel like I never get anything done. And I actually never do... Oh. Somehow I wish I could just stay awake at night and get some things out of the way but I'm so tired at night and sleeping with big belly number two here isn't so easy at this time in pregnancy, so when I do fall asleep I try to make the best of it... anyways...here's to hoping baby boy comes this week...and here's to hoping I get everything done. If not...here's to hoping I can deal with it in a civilized manner...and that for me means: not feeling guilty...

Gratitude...

Ever feel like there is so much to be thankful for that you don't know where to start?
That's me right now... I actually lost sleep over it... There are so many things...

I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who always, always answers my prayers - even the ones I don't say outloud...
I'm grateful for my wonderful, amazing, always there for me PARENTS and for my amazing brother and sister and for all that they do for me. I owe them so so so so much. I hope I have the chance to pay back and do for them at least a portion of what they have done for me. I hope I can be as good a Mom as my Mom is to me and even hope that Roger and I can do for our children what they do for me. I have the best family in the world.
I'm grateful for my husband and for our little wonderful and loved family together. We are the luckiest parents in the world,for we have Lucy, the light of our days and baby boy is coming soon and I feel so blessed to be able to experience the joys and the pains of motherhood to bring to earth these precious souls. My body will never be the same again, and neither will my soul and I want it that way.
I'm so grateful I have been given a new chance in life, in a new place with new people. The experience has been amazing so far. I love the place, I love the people and even though life is tough no matter where you live I'm feeling that things will turn out ok.

I'm just grateful, grateful, grateful...

There is so much to say and little time now but I will come back and detail this out...I have to. I need to share the joy!

Lucy's Baby Shower

So here are a few pics from a very very busy but beautiful evening with some of my friends... Really sad to not have some of my other dear friends near...
We got together last saturday for my baby shower - or was it Lucy's? I think it was hers because I didn't get anything out of it other than nursing pads...! Of course it was lots of fun and it made me think a lot about how pregnancy changes everything - you're happy for getting baby clothes and diapers for the tiny being inside yourself that you haven't even seen upclose yet!!!
How odd is that?! Odd but beautiful, I'm loving it!

Check out my bump... huge eh?

Oh and ple-e-e-e-e-a-a-ase bear with me while I learn how to work this blog thing...tá dificil! I took multimedia designing classes in high school but since that was forever ago I'm trying to remember how to make this look good...

O post de hoje vai em English mesmo mas acho que os demais serão em portuguese pq não dá, não fica a mesma coisa em Inglês!!! :-)

How do I begin!?!

Laurenna, this English post goes for you. You so have to learn Portuguese someday! Maybe you will end up learning a few words here and there from my posts which will probably be a very weird mix of portuguese, english and some of my own words.......
I don't know where/how to begin...but here I come...

First post

Dear Ariane,

I found myself with some time this evening and wanted to make your blog really cute so that you would use it more often.

I just want you to know that I thin kiof you often and whenever I see butterflies or anything dealing with butterflies, I think of you. Which is why I wanted you to have this cute layout for your blog.

Now I just need to figure out how to use the translation option on blogger so that you can write in portuguese and I can still read what you write.

Trust me, you are going to want to use your blog a ton when your baby comes so that your parents can keep up on all that is going on and see pictures of her every day.

Anyway I hope you like the blog, feel free to change anything you don't like.

Love Laurie
