i've been trying to get the babies i watch to do some new things. like wave byebye and wave hello, clap and crawl. well - the crawling is coming nice and slow which i'm happy and the byebye i think will come soon as well. the hello needs some work - they just look at me and smile when i come over in the morning. but today - leila clapped her hands! i was so excited i squealed as if she were my own child. i will say what i said on facebook - if i get this excited over a child thats not even mine, doing something for the first time - LOOK OUT WORLD when my child has a first! i can already tell i'm going to be that annoying mother who posts pictures and videos and whatnot. i don't want to be, but i think its part of my dna! we'll see though. who knows, maybe i'll want to be private after that. hmm.... only time will tell. need to have a baby first! ;-P
i talked to my friend maria via text today and that was nice. she is going into her 3rd trimester next week and she's having a little girl. they are naming her ahava. what a beautiful name. it means beloved in hebrew. very very cool. she's a great friend and i wish we were able to hang out more often in california when we both lived there. she is super sweet and has been there for and with me through some of the toughest times. she's been a blessing and i love her. yay! i hope that her baby is healthy and happy and that they will be continually blessed having her in their life. now i just need to meet her husband and then i need to meet the baby. i know right, i haven't even met the husband yet! i'm a bad friend! sorry, maria. i do love you!!
lets see - anything else? i took a hot bath today. i haven't taken a bath since hong kong when i thought i was having an appendicitis when what really happened was i rode a bike that was not suited for me and i pulled and stretched all the muscles away from where they are supposed to be so all my insides were inflammed. it was so painful. anyway - i took a bath and listened to some jim brickman. he's marvelous. i highly recommend him. while taking a bath i was struck with the urge to pray. i struggle with praying as often as i should so it was really nice to get some time alone with the Lord, relaxing and praying for a slew of people and for God to be glorified through my life. man - i need to do that more often. i was brought to tears at the end of the time of prayer, just knowing that i want to live and have my family be a family who lives to see the Gospel of the Lord preached and lived out. i long to have a family who treasures the Lord and lives their life in His footsteps. oh Lord, please answer my prayer, allow my family to be your children, your elect and allow their lives influence others lives.
well - i guess thats all. now that i'm still in my towel waiting to dry i think i will write a short little letter to my babies. i have something to say to them. nothing long - just something i've been thinking. till next time. talk to y'all later! agape.
