So today is the day... hopefully. We find out in just two hours whether we will be having a boy or girl. The anticipation is killing me. I barely slept last night. So which do you think it will be?
....i'm with the mama on this one. girl :) Adam says boy, but i'm pretty sure he just thinks everyone has boys and who knows where the girls come from.
As a little girl, I always identified with Sleeping Beauty, the Disney princess. Not only do I love animals, but I LOVE sleep. Trust me, there are few who enjoy a good nap and sleeping at least 8 hours a night as much as I do. As a student in college, my roommates were astounded at how much I slept and even worried there was something wrong with me. The fairy tale kept getting better when I met and married my own Prince Philip (the name of Sleeping Beauty's Prince). Little did I know that 5 years into my happily ever after, my Philip would become the real sleeping beauty, or rather sleeping handsome. Philip was diagnosed with Narcolepsy. The irony of my situation still humors me. Life as a wife of a person with narcolepsy has been anything but easy, and at times "happily ever after" has seemed impossible. But, we are surviving and slowly learning to live with this life-changing disability. I've wanted to write a post for a while now, but it is hard to write anyth...
From the beginning, even before I really wanted to have another child, I knew that it was time to start trying. I had the impression that it would be a boy, and the name Kawika was imprinted in my mind as his name. I guess it was meant to be, because with my first, Emma, it took a few months to get pregnant, but with Kawika we got pregnant quickly. I'm sorry to say that at first I wasn't all that excited. I knew it was right, but I was not ready to be pregnant again. Pregnancy is beautiful, but it is also hard, and this time I knew what I was getting myself into: nausea, trouble sleeping, weight gain, possibly bed rest (like with Emma's pregnancy), delivery, and oh yeah, a crazy two-year-old to add to the equation. Besides, I had dreams of starting a masters program while my husband was still pursuing his, and adding child #2 to the equation wouldn't make that dream very easy. So, there I was, pregnant with another child and not too optimistic about it. Well, s...
There is nothing worse than cheep and rough toilet paper for a nose that just won't quit running. I finally broke down and bought the good stuff: Ultra Soft Kleenix tissues with aloe lotion. It's like butter, it's better than butter. My nose is recovering, as is my body from a pretty intense cold. Thank goodness for Nyquil. Well, Adam and Meghan have officially left Hawaii. They are in Maryland now :( :) I had to put a sad face and a happy face because I am sad they are gone and SO FAR AWAY, but I am so excited for them and the new adventures that await them there. So, lets see, what else has happened lately. Oh yeah, today I got called as my ward Relief Society President. Yeah. Phil was so kind as to announce to his family this evening at dinner, "Everyone, Keola, has some exciting news for you." Thus implying that I am pregnant, because apparently that is the only exciting thing that happens to married people. Everyone snapped their heads towards me wi...
