Columbus Day thoughts 2015

I was calling her Gilda after watching Rigoletto. I was trying out Whoopie the other day. Ruby seems to be sticking with Cori.

Cori thinks she's yanking on the umbilical chord with her grasping hand. Where is it attached? Cori thought it was to her belly button.

I can't help but visualize her after the sonogram. I'm talking to her in the belly. Supposedly she can see light.

Her brother Andres has a new soccer team, and he had a tournament. We were wondering if Ruby will like soccer. Cori always comes back to the name Ruby. William talks a lot about what life will be like with Ruby. He has the fear I won't pay attention to him. We spent all day yesterday watching Andres play soccer, and then we went to a Cosmos game, so I think he feels that already with Andres getting into sports. I've got to work hard to get into Minecraft. He talked about the time I was working to try and make a Buddha statue, I need to go on line and try that some more. I take walks with William to make up the time I spend playing soccer with Andres but it doesn't always work out.

I really hope Ruby is active and likes sports like her mother.

We did a Buddhist puja this morning. The devotional chanting of the TBC community. The boys go to Sunday school and learn about Catholicism. I teach them about Buddhism and they have meditated with me. Blended families can be confusing.

Cori is a vegan and she hasn't eaten animal products in several years. She wants to raise Ruby vegan. I'm sympathetic, but I struggle to be vegetarian. I really want to support this and move towards veganism. Imagine not harming any animals your whole life, how that would give you a clean conscious, how that would help the environment, how healthy that would be?! I'm very excited. Cori is an excellent cook, she made the most amazing food this morning.
