yey for project life

i am soo excited that finally my project life is here!!! i am happy to be able to get hold of this product (even if it costs me a lot!) but i really believe that system will work for me to record our life now, especially that we will be having baby #2 very soon. this should work because i was only able to put up 1 album for euan - his baby photos (my bad). all the photos are stuck in my computer.

so on top of arranging all the page protectors and title cards, one of the things in my to do list is to select the pictures that will go in this project. since i am so bent to try this out in january (but decided to order on february), i have been taking snapshots of our lives. at first i admit, i planned to do a picture-a-day approach but there are days that i am so stumped, that i decided to go on a weekly approach. i have never taken so many pictures than now so i decided to organize my pictures on a weekly basis and select from there which would go to the PL and which would be for regular LOs. also, since i started with lots of pictures in january, i have been doing some journaling that i have written either here in my blog or in my journal. although i have read in PL community that backtracking is not really recommended as one can really start at any month of the year, i intend to start with the current week and work my way backwards to january and see if i can make the whole of almost 3 months worth of photos. i hope i can manage it since i am almost complete with the journaling. it's just a matter of putting it all together. but if not, then it's ok, i can use those in the regular LOs.

so this is my gameplan. i believe i can do this. all i need is to focus (olw) on my gameplan.

high five

today you are frequently moving. you made sure that your every somersaults and kicks were felt big time. sometimes i feel like my tummy is going to explode because of your mighty moves. but feeling you move so vigorously is the best thing, knowing that you are healthy and you respond to our every tummy rub :)

just like last night. i placed euan's hand on my tummy to let him feel you move. and after a while, you nudged his hand and euan's jaw just dropped in surprise! it was his first time to feel you and that made him so happy. "that's him doing a high five with you", i said. and so when he put his hand again in my tummy, he said, 'baby, high five!".

at this early, i'm just as glad that for that brief moment, you have bonded with your brother. and i just pray that you will be the best of friends for life.

overjoyed

finally! project life is on it's way! i am very excited to get my hands to it although it might take a while before i get hold of this album. got johnny air cargo to ship it here and i have yet to see how things go. as of the moment i'm just so happy that johnny air representative emailed me that PL is delivered already and they are just waiting for the my other shipments (refills and page protectors). hopefully in the next 2 weeks, i will finally be able to start working on project life. yey!
