So, the other day, I asked elena if she wanted to write a story, and she said she did and that she has a good story, so she dictated and I wrote it down ( Read more... )

I have a date for the c-section. It'll be on the wednesday, November 14, at 9:30am. Unless the baby comes out sooner of course :-)

So, I have lots of big news to report! I haven't really had time to talk to anyone lately, and technically I don't have time for writing in here (i have about 300 pages of reading to do plus a paper to write by monday if I have any hope of not falling behind... not to mention all the preparations for the baby) buuut I have to tell people about ( Read more... )

So, two days in a row, on the way home from school, Elena ran away from the parent that had picked her up. Om thursday, Menelek had picked her up, and they were walking to the car with Noe and his dad, and the two kids just darted off and around a corner so they couldn't even see them! Then, Menelek punished her and we both talked to her about it ( Read more... )

So, i have to decide very soon whether or not I want to schedule a c-section ( Read more... )

So, yesterday started the incredibly crazy On Campus Interview (OCI) process.

So she threw up again that night and was still having pretty bad cold symptoms, but she slept from 7pm to 7am and seemed to be doing ( Read more... )

So, I just got back from the hospital. Ana's in town so we went out to eat, and afterwards I felt some intense pain in my abdomen, so we went to the hospital, and it turns out I was having contractions. Talk about scary. And Menelek is in MD this weekend... and mom was sleeping... elena was asleep in her stroller in the hospital room and ana was ( Read more... )

New name i'm considering: Dahlia (its a flower, so it means beautiful and such, and I just like the way it sounds... oh and also, it's the first name i've suggested to Menelek that he didn't say "no" to... although maybe that just means he wasn't paying attention lol ( Read more... )

Omg. I'm starting to do my first assignment for my first class (ok, my second class, but theyre on the same day and I was more excited about this one) now, and I have to pause in disbelief of what I'm reading like every two minutes. While I've found readings interesting for some of my classes, I've never been so like.... excited about what I'm ( Read more... )
