Written on 6/24/2018 When I was in first grade, we had an alliteration assignment where we had to come up with a descriptive word about ourselves that started with the same letter as our first name. Well, as you can imagine, the letter K did not lend itself well as a descriptive word. While my options were few, I quickly came upon a word I was satisfied with: kind. I've always thought of myself as someone who tries hard to think of others' feelings and to try to be as nice as possible. Albeit, children make many mistakes in this area. But, I had the good fortune to grow up in Hawai'i, a diverse and wonderful place, that taught me I am not better than anyone else. Hawai'i taught me to treat everyone around me the way I wish I had been treated. Well, a lot of time has passed since those almost carefree days, growing up in Hawaii. I am an adult now, and life and people (in general) are not always as kind to me as I would like. This past year especially has been a really ro...

I don't know why, but up until this point I have felt plain silly, sitting by myself, or infront of other people, and having a conversation with my stomach. I guess its still hard for me to grasp the fact that there is a baby girl inside of me. Well, this weekend I had a wakeup call. My baby tried to come too early. I started having regular contractions and my cervix dilated two centimeters. I am 29 weeks pregnant. She's not supposed to come until at least 36 weeks. I watched as my nurses talked to my stomach and thought, if they can do it, I definitely can. I spent the weekend in the hospital pleading with my baby girl to stay put and I prayed to God that if she didn't she would still be okay. My prayers were answered and my baby girl isn't here yet. She's safely waiting in the womb where she belongs. This whole episode has taught me a few t...
