Isn't my daughter the best?

aaa
I'm back at work and feeling much better. I guess I really needed the extra sleep I got these past two days. Pregnant women should be allowed to get to work a couple of hours later, if you ask me.

My sister had her ultrasound yesterday and everything is ok. She is 8 weeks 4 days along and they saw the yolk sack, embryo and heartbeat as expected. I am so happy for her and I'm so excited that we will get to have these babies together. This is her first child and I'm glad I will be able to spend lots of time with her during her maternity leave. She is very anxious and insecure and she will need all the help and reassurance and company she can get. And it will also be great for the kids, later on.

This morning I was fixing my hair and R was sitting next to me. When I finished she turns to me and says "Mommy is very beautiful!" Can you believe it? This girl really knows how to get me to do everything she wants, and she's only 2! Today she had chocolate for breakfast (I'm kidding, I'm not crazy you know?)

    She's adorable! And I'm glad you're feeling better. You've only gained ONE lb??? *sigh*. I am so jealous :)

    Glad you and the baby are doing well. I can't wait till your next u/s!

    Ohh your sister is so lucky to have you! And vise versa! What a wonderful thing for you guys to go through together!!

    Is R speaking English or Port? Are you teaching her both? She sounds like she has a great vocabulary!

    Glad everyone is on the mend finally!

    Martha,

    She is only speaking portuguese so far but I'm considering starting to teach her a little english too. It's hard because she doesn't have english at school yet (not until she's 6) so I would have to do all the work.

    Ana, sweetie, TAPES!!! TAPES!!! Call the British Council and ask for kiddie material for Porties.

    J, that sounds like a good idea. And maybe I'll find something in NYC too!
