Coming Soon!



We are going to San Jose tomorrow to wait for Coral's arrival. Without the miracle of pregnancy and reproduction there would not be so much beauty and life in this world. I am honored to contribute our natural baby to the nature she will soon be a part of.

38 weeks pregnant







Just when you thought I could not get any bigger. I did. Waiting for something to happen. Meditation is helping me get ready for Coral's big day. This will be my last belly shot. Wish us luck!

37 week Coral




Coral is all set to go. She turned around AGAIN. She is now in a normal position. The doctor said she could be ready anytime until my due date which is April 3rd. We are going to give this natural childbirth thing a shot. Wish us luck although we are trying our best to be prepared for whatever happens. She clearly has my fat nose and Dorian's big lips. I am in love with her big Dorian lips. We are curious to see if she will have my blue eyes or Dorian's hazel eyes. I think the first picture captures her actual features the best. The other photos are a bit wider. She is getting nice and chubby in there right now. She is already weighing almost 6 1/2 pounds. The doctor said she is completely average size and he has never seen a baby turn breech again after 37 weeks. We can't wait to meet little Coral.
Dorian is working very hard with a company in CA. He is also working on a sustainable living website that will be up probably by the end of the month among other projects. It is very hot and uncomfortable being this pregnant in Costa Rica. I have been grateful to swim in a pool everyday. I plan on using deep meditation and exercise to help me with my upcoming labor. I figure if I am strong enough to cross Central America for six months in a tiny truck camper anything is possible. haha

neighborhood birds

We saw two wild turkeys in our tree this month


We see woody wood pecker pecking away almost every morning. He even sounds like woody I think.

Blue and white swallow.

Black bellied whistling duck




There are always tons of vultures across the street
