Augh warm weather warm weather, I HATE warm weather in San Francisco! Time to make fruit smoothies.

Ok so I know this is a very odd and random topic to bring up, what with finals and graduation so close, but I think my biological clock has started ticking. It's nothing major right now but my sister had her baby last year, Jenny had her baby not too long ago, and all of a sudden it's like my body has started to squirm and go "Hey! *poke poke* When are you gonna get around to it?"

It's certainly not a matter of "OMG I must have a baby right now!!!" (that would be more than freaky) It's more like a little scratching at the back of my mind. And it's strange because I never really saw myself as the motherly type but I've found myself being a tad more hormonal, I've been noticing babies and pregnant women around me more, and every now and then, out of NOWHERE, I'll think random things like "Well I've always loved the name Noah, but what would I name a baby girl?"

I see my niece and I'm just amazed at how beautiful she is, and I start to wonder what my hypothetical child would look like. And it's obviously not something I plan to do anytime soon (pff after all, I kinda need a guy for that), but down the road if I'm happily married, with a nice stable career, I could definitely see myself having children.

Ok, back to work! *skips off to do more painting*

BABY JADE HAS ARRIVED!!!

Yesterday, February 16 at 3:50pm, my sister gave birth to her first baby. Jade Crystalyn Bonilla is 7lbs 6oz and 20 inches long.

Mom called me up around noon, saying Brookie had gone into labor. Only a couple hours later, she called me again and "Brookie had the baby!" MAN she had a fast delivery. Mom said she did so well.



( More pictures of Baby Jade! )

I absolutely cannot wait to go home and meet her. Is it March 16 yet?! I wanna see my niece!!!

Looks like Brookie's labor was a false alarm. She was having really bad contractions, but they just sort of faded away and by the next morning she was completely fine again. We were all kinda bummed, we were so expecting something to happen! And she's just sick and tired of being pregnant. XD

Ah well, looks like anything goes at this point.



You know what I love? When Baby Jade starts moving around and her whole belly moves like jello. XD You can actually see her foot kicking up the through Brookie's skin. When that happens I go "she's doing the alien thing!"

Well today was pretty eventful. I spent the morning at D*sneyland, hung out with Jenny and Kaylan, and we did a bit of character hunting. But around late afternoon I got a call from Brookie. She was 3 centimeters dilated and having severe contractions. I ran out of the park, back to my car, and rushed to the hospital. She was in early labor. O.o

Her husband was so nervous. XD The poor guy didn't go to any classes, so he's kinda clueless about the whole process. She was there for about 3 hours, but since she wasn't dilating any more, they advised that she go home. They said they just want her to rest and be comfortable and they know a hospital bed isn't the best place for that. Her contractions were pretty bad all the way home, but she's finally slowing down. She's resting here on the couch with me.

But from the way things are going, she's having this baby within the next day or two. Baby Jade is coming! :O

I haven't been around lately. A lota of stuff has been happening, and my summer just became incredibly hectic. First off, the most important news.

My sister is going to have a baby. OMG I'm going to be an AUNT!!!!! :O *flails* The news came as a big surprise, but I love my sister with all my heart and she has my support. She and her boyfriend want to get married this summer (before I go back to school). I feel kinda bad since I'll be in San Francisco by the time she's due, but I'll be home in March for Spring Break. Brookie, you're gonna make an awesome mom, I know it.

I'm trying to get ready for the conventions. The Gathering is right around the corner and I haven't even gotten my prints ready for the art show! I'm also considering applying for a job at D*sneyland after Comic-Con is over. The only downside is that I'd only be able to work there a month before I go back to school. Considering that, I doubt they would hire me. But hey what have I got to lose, right? I'm even prepared to leave my job at Dogwood for it (oh man I must be INSANE, Dogwood pays me so much more than D*sney would!). But I don't CARE! I just wanna work there for the experience. And I was planning to leave Dogwood anyway once I graduated. And If D*sney DID hire me, I would always be willing to work next summer. Possibly winter too.

I hope I hope I hope.
