Watching: “Glee”
Thankful for: All the amazing help my sister, mom and dad have given us
Looking forward to: Any time Sam is “talking to  himself”

Reading: Slowing, Meg Whitman (running for the California Republican Governor nomination) book “The Power of Many”, it is not that easy to read and take care of Sam as I thought. My magizines have been getting more attention-Real Simple, Oprah and Body and Soul.
Watching: Time fly by. 6 weeks left of my maternity leave.
Thankful for: Baby Sam’s smiles and laugh.
Looking forward to: weekend hikes. Come on spring warm weather, stay with us!

Reading: Went back to Dan Brown, then saw Meg Whitman (running for the California Republican Governor nomination) book at Borders called “The Power of Many”. So far so good.
Watching: Sam discover shapes and sounds.
Thankful: For living in walking distance to restaurants, a Starbucks, and the San Fransisco Bay.
Looking forward to: Easter Sunday “Meet Sam” family lunch and anytime I can catch up on some sleep

Reading: Finished “Committed” by Elizabeth Gilbert. Highly recommend it! It was a great read. Now it’s either going back to Dan Brown or searching for baby topics on Google.
Watching: “World News with Diane Sawyer”. At first I wasn’t too sure about her, but now I think she rocks. The news is smooth, great stories, and her empathy reminds me of Peter Jennings.
Thankful: For our son Sam. I feel so blessed and learning so much too.
Looking forward to: baby yoga

Reading: “Committed” by Elizabeth Gilbert. Great book for anyone who is thinking about marriage, engaged, recently married, married for years, or choosing not to marry at this time.
Watching: “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” Love it!! I have rediscovered the power of humor.
Thankful: Breaks in the rain storms. The sun is my energy booster.
Looking forward to: The birth of our son. Any day now…

Thinking about: How Matthias and I are going to find space for all our stuff! We are moving to an Apartment Home next week.
Thankful: For all the help I am getting from my family. My parents have come down to help pack, take plants to the new place, whatever they can do. Once again, I could not do it without them!
Looking forward to: Thanksgiving at my sister’s house. She is such a great cook and hostess!
