life in the making

Happy Day

For Shirley Sirivong, being pregnant has been anything but easy. After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, complete placenta previa, and incompetent cervix, she was put on bed rest and a strict special diet. In the early months of bed rest, Shirley's "dull" breakfasts were limited to egg whites, wheat bread, peanut butter, and a few fruits and veggies. To liven up Shirley's bland meals, her husband Gat began to create funny faces out of boiled eggs and toast. "After a few days of that," Shirley told us, "they started to become more elaborate scenes."

I was tickled pink when I chanced upon this article on yahoo. I have never experienced such "thoughtfulness" in my life hehe... The creativity reflects the love and attention for the person... Then again we cannot expect life to be complete in just one package for us. While I can only look with envy at these wives, I can try and make these kinds of breakfast myself! Why not? Especially for my picky eater son. Another Dad makes yahoo headlines by making 3D pancakes for his daughter. The idea melts me like butter. I want my son to grow up to be as thoughtful as these cool son of Adam.
