Aunt Jacinta

I'm an aunt! Aw, I miss my nephew already.

Yesterday was such an amazing experience. My sister let me stay in the same room while she delivered. I almost regretted it at first not knowing what to expect, but once Ralph came out, I was so glad I stayed. That was one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed. Wow, so unforgettable.

I am finally an aunt. The best part is now having a face to picture when talking about Ralph. The best part is seeing the resemblances between him and his parents. The best part is getting to watch him grow. The best part is that he's FAMILY!

LOTS of happiness in my family right now. My parents are so happy to be grandparents. My sister and brother-in-law are finally parents. And my brother and I are aunt and uncle.

I barely know Ralph and I already love him. He's not even a day old and already he's teaching me life lessons. He's taught me to believe in love at first sight. I can honestly say that Ralph's the first person that I've loved from the first moment I laid eyes on him. Aw, he's special.

Aunt Jacinta is loving every bit of this. *smiles*

I'm almost an aunt!

Got a call from my mom this morning. Uyen's in the hospital! I didn't believe it at first cuz my mom's been tricking me quite a few times. I knew he'd come out today though. I made a bet that he'd come out today and well look at that... =D

Little Ralphie's not here yet. I'm gonna head to the hospital soon. I can't believe I'm finally gonna get to see his face. I'm SO EXCITED!

so maybe hard work really does pay off.

I did it!

It's 6:30am and I'm up! Been trying to wake up this early for a long time now and I finally did it. Time to treat myself to a chickfila chicken bisuit and then start on an mcat practice test. Whoops, I said I wouldn't be talking about the mcat anymore. Oh well, this is my blog and I can say whatever I want haha.

Can't believe I woke up. It's so dark out =)

Weight Off My Shoulders

It's finally June! The summer hype should be here, but I'm all cooped up inside. I think everybody else is too anyway with all the rain that's been going on. The temperature still in the 80s, when I remember this time last year it'd be scorching hot.

Anyway, regarding the MCAT, I have to say I feel pretty good. I'm probably not going to talk about it anymore til after I take the test. I don't wanna jinx myself. Not that I believe in that anyway.

I really do feel great. Lately (well for a year really) I've felt this awful burden, but now I feel like that weight is totally off my shoulders. Sometimes you find out things you never knew. It may hurt, but you realized it's better late than never. I feel so light and relieved. Whether it's spring cleaning, summer cleaning, or just life cleaning, throwing out crap always feels good.

I love being clean. I'm gonna go take a shower now.
