Lavender Rain

So I was just on CafeMom today and saw some pictures of babies with their ears pierced. I want to get Zoe’s ears pierced soon so that she can be easily identified as a girl. I am tired of people thinking that she is a boy even if she is wearing pink. As a baby myself I was pierced when I was a newborn! Right when I came out of my mother’s womb… I guess it’s because that was the trend in the Philippines? I think it still is, I’m not sure. The only thing I am concerned about is that I am afraid of her getting an ear infection and keloids! I would be so guilty if she gets it! I have to talk to her pediatrician about it before I decide too quickly. Josh thinks it might be too early to do that, but I guess the best thing to do is to find out from the doctor.

Zoe will be officially 5 months old tomorrow at 4pm. Yay! She is growing up too fast.

I’m so blessed to have these two people in my life. I love you Josh and Zoe.

We spent our 3rd year anniversary at the mall and afterward we had another nice steak dinner. It was a good thing that he finished grilling before it rained again. I enjoy cooking with him. I can’t wait to be his wife! Just 4 more months to go!

I love the Internet, because I have met many interesting individuals online. I made a lot of good friends here. Being a stay-at-home mom who has to plan a wedding and who has to manage some eCommerce sites is tough. I don’t have a car so I can’t just go out. I’m always stuck at home so the Internet is really keeping my sanity. It gets pretty lonely here being home all day. I wish my friends were also moms, but I’m the first mom so I don’t really have any mommy friends.

Anyways, I just play World of Warcraft when I get bored and when I feel lonely… but I don’t even talk to anyone there. Hah…

Why do I get the feeling that my attitude sucks right now? Um, ’cause maybe it does.

I have been thinking a lot lately… about how life altering having a baby is. I used to live a selfish life before my daughter entered my life. It was all about me. Now that I think about it, my previous life consisted of a lot of shopping trips and dining out with Josh. I enjoyed life for myself. And I have come to the conclusion that it was a big waste of life and time when I did those things. But there were times when I chose to spend my time carefully by learning more about God, by studying His Word. I listened to the teachings by my pastor-teacher. Those were the times that I have grown and changed to be a better person for Him. All those have been worth my time. But shopping for hours on end was a big waste of my time indeed. I am looking at my closet full of clothes that I no longer fit in anymore. This was all a big waste. But hey, at least I learned from it. I had fun wearing those clothes and I had precious memories wearing them. Good times, good times. I’m not saying that there’s something wrong with shopping and dining out. Today those 2 activities are a big treat for me now. I hardly leave the house to go out. I can’t just get up and go. I don’t have that same type of freedom anymore.

Thought I’d share this video. I didn’t edit it out, so it’s kinda long. Someday I want to put together a bunch of video clips for my daughter since I do enjoy video editing. But here’s something that I recorded just yesterday. Zoe is becoming quite the talker.
