Much Ado About Nothing

So I just wanted to start my first blog entry by not talking/typing about much, just to test the waters of "bloggerdom":) This is a phenomenal idea and I am so happy you got the wheel rolling on our project Gisela! Things are changing wether we know it or not and this is a wonderful way for us to keep in touch even when our schedules don't quite meet up. So, thank you Gisela! Cheers on the starts of a new venture for Las Comadres (clinks 2 bottles of dark beers together).

Things are coming along with my little Caetano. I am nearing 37 weeks and feeling exhausetd. I am amazed that women do this (pregnancy) year after year. I miss my body, I miss high heels and I miss normal, non-baggy, form fitting clothes! Wow, I thought I'd never say that! Of course it also has made me realize how amazing women are, especially pregnant woman who are troopers (like those women in Oaxaca climbing a mountain pregnant, with a child on their back and a bucket of water in another hand and a basket on their head- you get the idea!). It has made me appreciate my body for the perfect machine that it is. It also amazes me how God chose me to be a women and to have the chance to experience such things such as holding a human being in my body. Once I give birth I am certain it will be only that much more empowering. I can't wait to meet him, hold him, teach him and fall deeply in love with him more and more each day.

I am happy and feel blessed that I got the chance to experience my pregnancy with you ladies. I couldn't have chosen a more perfect, strong set of women. Thank you for craving along with me, for babying me, for being my chauffers, for being a support when at times it feels like not even my family is that. I know I have been rough and I tend to be a bit on the dark, negative side (some days more than a "bit") but then I realize I need to grow up and be thankful for the beauty that surrounds me each and everyday. Thank you for being that beauty.
