The New Look
Dear Friends,
Here is the new look! I decided to spend a few minutes putting this on a website that would look more… pretty? Presentable?
In any case, it is a relief to look at the BEAUTIFUL colors in this calming theme for wordpress!
I’ve been tired lately, and out of date on many things in my own life that are essential, not to mention keeping my thoughts in order online!
So, another blog with many exclamations points… It must be due to the tired state I’m in; The baby’s due in a month or so, and it is hard to imagine, once again, that after all this time the baby in my belly is growing!!!!! (thank G-d) and actually we’re going to add another face to our family in a relatively short time.
I don’t feel sorry for myself most of the time, but once in a while I feel that I need to give myself a break.
Our winter break was sort of full of flu’s and so on, and so didn’t give much of a break after all.
It’s funny working in an environment where most of the people either are without children, or either are too young to have settled down yet, or are not planning on having children in general. So I hear lots of “oh, how brave” and “when did you find out?” like that would have been my first action upon realizing that I am expecting: to tell everyone at work.
I’ve also decided not to find out the gender this time, so I get lots of surprised looks from people who I meet in various social situations…
I’ve always thought that an ultrasound is so invasive to the baby’s privacy. Here you are, all cozy and warm in this dark place, and then suddenly there are people on the outside looking at you. Like leaving the lights on in the kitchen window in the evening, and then going outside and realizing that people can see everything you are doing: including whether you are eating with a fork or spoon, chewing with your mouth open… just kidding.
I just found out that my best friend from high school is also pregnant. Hope she is doing well now.
Also, we had a very sad incident in our community, that I won’t get into details about, since it is about our Rebbetzin’s family, but we were very sad, and it seems that there are so many new beginnings and endings to be marked at this time of year…
Maybe later I’ll change this post, and the details therin, but for now, I’ll leave it at that…
