The weather is now starting to warm up, however I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up to a blizzard tomorrow. Like every other city I know, the weather is quite unpredictable now days, and I find myself bundled up in the morning just to remove layer by layer as the day goes on. I have been following the news about the volcano eruption which is causing all sorts of delays and cancellations on flights. So fortunate to not be one of the stranded.
MAMA Son has come and gone. Her visit here was great, and our fridge is completely stocked with all sorts of traditional Korean dishes. We have like 5 different kinds of marinated anchovies, 5 different kinds of black peas (kong ja ban), and I don't even know how many different types of fermented cabbage/roots/leaves/radish. This definitely came with a price though. Since Brad's mother and father collectively have about 12 brothers in sisters, we were bombarded with visitors whom we had to host... For those of you who don't know, I have one of those obsessive anal personalities like Monica on Friends. I will literally lose sleep over what to cook for breakfast if I know we're having guests, for the simple fact that I want everything to be perfect.
Speaking of Mama Son though. I think it's absolutely adorable that she talks to Papa Son like 5 times a day, with their conversations always ending in "I love you, I miss you, I'll come home soon." It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that someday Brad and I will tell each other that with our graying hair & aging bodies.... =)
By the way, Brad has been out in the field for training exercises and will be for the next two weeks. The house is so quiet, and it definitely feels like the calm before the storm. It's almost erie though. No puppy, no baby and now no hubby. All I have are plants to take care of. I am keeping busy though doing all my catch up reading on all of our baby stuff. Finally getting the hospital bag together and getting prepared for our little one.
If I told you that I was anxious, it would be an understatement. It seems like all I think about is baby Evelyn's arrival & what it'll be like after she's born. Being in Korea, I am definitely worried about finding her the best pediatricians, and finding a good housekeeper/nanny for the hours that I'm working. It feels like I'm trying to figure all this out with my hands tied since I am still foreign to this country. I'm definitely doing a lot more praying since I know I can't do this on my own. I'm sure He's got my back! =)
It's so crazy to see how far I've come... and how different my life is from even a year ago, or two years ago. I feel like I've done so much growing up in the past two years that I hardly recognize myself. I'm definitely glad that I did though!! Life as I know it now is fantastic!! Of course I wouldn't have done anything differently in the past either though... those times were great too!!
Anyhow. I'm at 36 weeks now... 37-42 weeks is when I should be expecting baby Evelyn. I will come back with an update after we meet her. <3>
