• it’s been a long time, shouldn’t have left you. . .

  i’m working full time as a telephone representative for merchant services.  it’s really not interesting, if it at all sounds like it.  i’m still due june 22nd – but the latest bit of juice is that i’m finding out if it’s a boy or a girl on monday.  and the doctor is also going to do a fetal echo for the baby to make sure his/her heart is in perfect working condition.  unlike me, when i was born, i had a hole in my heart that, fortunately, closed up before the doctors had to operate.  what’s also exciting, if i haven’t shared this tidbit already, is that my baby is going to be born at the same hospital, that 20 years previously, i was born at.

  
  

  leo and i are moving in together february 16 – which is this thursday.  i feel all adult-like buying furniture that is not suitable for a dorm room and setting up the power and other utilities.

  
  

  it’s so beautiful outside now, this is my favorite time of year and i actually feel for once that i can enjoy it with as much happiness and anticipation as is shown in the movies.  it’s cliche i know, and i’ve never really wanted to be generic.  but i feel like right now, being happy is the most original thing i could do.  i’m excited when i think about my little one growing inside me and how soon i’ll be able to feel the little guy moving around.

  
  

  leo and i have names picked out for our baby, whether it be a mini-me or a mini-he.  georgia elizabeth for, of course, the girl, and connor riley for the boy.  and with any luck, little baby jenkins-sielski won’t be the slightest bit emo like i know mom and dad can be.

  
  

  it’s only 11am but i feel like i’m wasting the day so i’m going to say “au revoir” and get outside where everyone should be right now.  much love to the world at large and my readers in particular.  and just remember that what i’ve learned about joy is though short it may be, that’s what makes it so special

  
  

   

  
  

  ciao bella.
