Right now

Lately I've felt vulnerable, isolated, needy, lonely, fragile, sensitive,...
I've been ruminating on how much my friendships have changed over the past 5 years. I used to believe that I was capable of being close with an innumerable amount of people, now I have difficultly counting at least ten "close friends". I'm not exactly complaining. My life has been a whirlwind of adventure and experiences. As I'm stepping into different life stages I find that other big changes come with it. I can't jump on a flight and go across the globe or even get in a car to be at my cousin's graduation today. (bummer.)
I know a lot of these feelings are most likely because I am at the tail end of pregnancy and emotions and hormones are at their peak. Other close friends have gone through this experience recently and I'm hoping to draw closer to them, even though they don't live in town. I also know that new friendships are coming.

I am so grateful for my sweet husband. Mother's day couldn't have come at a better time. Usually Mother's Day is not the happiest day for me. I haven't talked to my own mother in awhile due to family circumstances and some much needed boundaries. Mark purchased some beautiful red roses for me and crafted some home made massage coupons. I've already used 2 out of the 12. He is so creative and cute. He used my favorite silly picture of him.

Working on the baby's room has provided me with some much needed art therapy. Mark painted two walls green for my tree backdrop. I sketched a tree on an overhead projector and then we drew the outline on the wall. My papa even came up to help. So excited for the decorating that is to come.
