2 Awsome Mama's

I have wrote about [i]lovelife before, but seriously, this woman Kal is amazing 6 days after having a baby. Seriously I have a major mom crush I hope I can have half the energy she does.

Second, M.I.A. at the grammy's WOW! I wish she had more of the spotlight because she is an amazing artist! Was a little undermined by all "energy" of the other performers. I love how no matter what she goes all out. She is one of those people that is so in turn with who they are and I envy that. I think it hard to be who you are, 100% all the time, but the fact that she able to do what she does well time and time again, is truly an inspiration to me.

Photos

Here is my belly at 32 weeks with a 3.5lb baby inside...I know it is blurry, but really no one wants to see the crystal clear picture of my stretch marks or funky look bruises (from the blood thinner shots) or veins.... But really it is crazy how rapidly my belly expanded this pregnancy. I have honestly felt this huge for about a good 3 months. Either way I am so excited to meet this kid and see where the world takes us.

We decided it was about time to get some good bath tub pictures of Matias for when he get married or brings home his first girlfriend.

Matias poses for the camera, the shot is blurry because I am laughing at him. Lately he poses with his head titled, so I was saying put your head straight...put your head straight. When I thought about it then I starting laughing.

Finally, Matias reads to his tigers. Can you find them in the photo. So cute how he loves to take care of his friends. Hopefully he can translate this into caring for his baby sister. But only time will tell.

OCD or Genius
