What's new?

I had my regular prenatal checkup earlier today. I'm officially in my 8th month...yipee! Everything's cool....everything's ok. The only thing I'm concerned about right now is if my baby is already in the correct position (vertex - head first) to be born. Dr. O' said she'll check it when I come back in 3 weeks. She's going to do an ultrasound....which means I get to see my baby inside my tummy for the last time before she finally says hello world!

Did some shopping for Kamille's school supplies afterwards. In about 2 weeks she will start school at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Redwood City. Let me share with you what's on the Kindergarten list:

1 backpack - (LABELED/no wheels)
2 boxes Crayola crayons (64 ct)
2 boxes Crayola large markers (10 ct)
2 boxes Crayola thin markers (10 ct)
2 boxes Crayola colored pencils (24 ct)
12 yellow standard #2 pencils
1 set Crayola watercolors
3 SHARPIE markers (2 black & 1 your color choice)
1 Papermate black flair pen
5 large glue sticks - SOLID (no "O-Glue")
3 bottles of white glue (no glue gel)
1 coloring book - LABELED WITH NAME
1 pair of scissors (blunt edge)
1 sponge
2 large rolls of paper towels
1 large box of KLEENEX
1 gallon ziplock bag with: (LABELED WITH NAME)
1 pair underpants
1 pair of socks
1 shirt
1 pair of pants
(non uniform clothes ok)

This reminded me of the times when my mom, my sister and I would go to National Bookstore to buy the stuff we needed for the coming schoolyear. Even though summer vacation was nearing its end, just the thought that soon I would have new school supplies, a new bag, a new pair of shoes and new sets of uniforms was enough to make me forget that school is starting in just a few weeks. Upon arriving home, my sister and I would carefully examine our purchases for the nth time and try on our shoes. Afterwards we would neatly arrange them inside our school bag and keep it inside the closet. Then it was time to cover our notebooks and textbooks with plastic wrapping. As I write this, it's almost as if I am back there actually doing it because I remember vividly the smell of that plastic. I miss school and I miss those carefree days. Time does really go by fast.
