Laying on your stomach will feel just as great as you remember
smoked salmon will taste as good
as wine will be just as wonderful.. even though you’ll wait 3 weeks to drink a glass when the girls come over.
You think you’re crazy about your husband now
but you’ll fall in love –big time- all over again, in a different way, magnified exponentially.
Giving birth will be the hardest, scariest, most painful thing you’ll ever do
the first two week will be the most challenging you’ll experience
but seeing that little face.. the same face you dreamed about… and finding out her personality is so much like you thought it would be, from the kicks to the hiccups
make it more than worthwhile.
People weren’t lying when they said to sleep as much as you can
they also weren’t lying when they said every day gets better, and easier
and that the time seems to go by so quickly, so savor every single moment.
And as much as you love being pregnant, you’ll love being a mom 1000x more <3
Remember our mystery tree?
Mystery solved: they’re oranges!
My mom brought one in the other day, cut it open and we shared it. Super sweet and delicious 
Maybe we should start watering said mystery tree?
Another fabulous baby meal:
Chicken tortilla soup from my friend Meara,
topped with a couple of corn tortillas, sliced up, 1/2 avocado and cilantro
+ salad and fruit
It was the last of the baby meals, and we are so grateful to have had our friends cooking for us for the past 3 weeks. Tonight, I’m back in the kitchen, but I’m going to take it sloooooow….
Whenever I go a little while without cooking, I always get nervous and wonder if I still remember how to. It’s silly, really. The same thing goes for fitness or teaching after taking a long break or hiatus (I hurt myself dancing in college and injured my knee a couple of years ago). I would go back to dance after winter break and wonder if I would totally forget what I was doing, and yesterday we were listening to Zumba music in the car –I pretty much always have salsa or reggaeton playing- and I was thinking about how nervous and excited I’ll be to teach again. In the meantime, I’m definitely enjoying the daily walks/chat seshes with my friends <3
Today we’re off to the mall- see ya later with a Family post!
Have a wonderful day.
