Meet Adriana Masi!!! She was born last night, to proud parents Craig & Marissa :) What a wonderful easter surprise for them! I believe Marissa was in labor for 21 hours, and pushing for an hour. Man....little man you better make it easy for mama in a couple of months. Can't wait to meet the little lass when Craig & Marissa return to Maryland!
Today is Easter, Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. Me, hmmmm....we don't celebrate Easter. It's actually one of those holidays that has perplexed me since I was a kid. My parents couldn't really explain it to me, but that's because we're Buddhist. I never understood all the odd rituals of baskets, eggs, bunnies, and church. How does it all fit together? I asked Nick, since his family celebrates it. But, he sorta gave me a so/so answer, so we looked it up. Ohhh.... resurrection of Christ, ok that explains the religious part. Now, what about the easter bunny, sugar highs, and all the eggs?!?! We'll I guess it stems from pagan rituals before Catholicism sorta appropriated it, so says the article Nick read to me. But, being Buddhist, I have not adorned my home in pastels, or will be eating a ham dinner, or cracking out on baskets of sugary treats (not that I can have them anyway). I have a much bigger task to tackle!
Our home at the moment is upside down! We're trying to clear out our shared office to make room for bambino. Why the urgency, one may ask? Well....we have the crib and dresser sitting in our living room, they're two huge boxes. Plus, I want to get it opened and assembled just to make sure there isn't anything wrong with it or missing. Plus, I'm less than 9 weeks away, less because you never know when this little guy is going to decide to arrive. So trying to make room in this apartment has been difficult. It's like playing a game of musical chairs with stuff and furniture. Things are just being rotated from room to room. We're trying really hard to get rid of stuff, but with so much stuff, ahhhhhhh!!!! But it's all coming together. It'll feel good once we have it done, hopefully soon. This next week is when I start going to the doctors and hospitals twice to three times a week. I'm not sure how much time that'll leave me to do all the other little things I need done.
Can I also mention how beautiful it's been outside? Cherry blossoms are in bloom, the weather is warm and sunny, and Spring (or in my case Spring cleaning) is in the air! Oh, sorry no food blog this past Friday! But we finally hooked my computer back up today, just enough time for a quick break from cleaning to post todays blog :)
