3 More Weeks To Go

Hey everyone just wanted to give you a little update on how things are going so far. So I had a doctors appointment last Thursday and everything looks great baby is in position and growing at the perfect rate. She has been really active the past couple of weeks and the 2 things she loves to do is put all of her weight on my bladder (yes this hurts) and also loves to show mommy her little foot by stretching as far as she can and moving it along my belly, at first I though this was really neat until the other morning I was standing in the mirror and actually saw it head on instead of looking down and I can say that it kind of creped me out but like the doctor said to much activity is better then little activity, so i won't be complaining. So last weekend Caesar and I went to get my maternity photos done and we had a really good time with it, all of the pictures turned out great it was so hard to choose so we ended up getting a disk with about 150 photos and then we will get some prints from that, but for now I will share one of the pictures taken with you. Over this past weekend it was almost 90 both Saturday and Sunday and i will say any women who is pregnant through the summer has my pity because it was torcher, so on Saturday i went and got a facial and it was wonderful if i could do that once a month I would, then I picked up Tanisha from work and when we got home she did some much needed leaf clean up for me as we are having the new play set installed this week and wanted to get it all cleaned up before they came out and then I took her and Chris to Mama Lucia's for dinner to show them my appreciation for helping around the house in such hot weather. Sunday I was up early, well I'm up early everyday so I got a head start on some house work, took a mid afternoon nap, and then was fully energized and put together the car seats and installed them into the cars, then I got the stroller put together and finished my day by grilling some steaks for the family. Today Caesar and I have to go and complete the paperwork for the Birthing Center and then tonight we have the breastfeeding Class that we signed up for, I'm sure he'll enjoy that one but it's really to talk about the expectations of breastfeeding and of course they go over how to do it which I will be using a teddy bear for, that should be funny to see. Well I'm going to get going for now and i will be back on Thursday with another update and some more pictures. Love to you all.

Weekend Projects

So I have attached some pictures of last weekends projects which included taking Tanisha'a room apart and giving it a face lift which isn't complete yet but to just give you an idea of what we got down to and know we are working on adding the bed and dresser. Also have the pictures from the beginning of the nursery and this weekend I will upload the finished product. yeah

33 Days and Counting

Hello everyone, I know it's been a while but we have been really busy trying to get the house in order and also still manage to live our daily lives. So I had a doctors appointment last week on the 9th and everything looked great, she is growing and I also asked if she was in position yet and the doc gave me a firm yes she is head down, thank god. I will tell you though she is a mover and shaker it's so funny cause there will be times were she goes to stretch and then my whole stomach will just start to shake, weird but pretty cool at the same time. So next week we start our every week visits finally and I will also be tested for Strep B. Oh yeah so this weekend I officially lost my last symbol of my 20's I was told I had to remove my belly button ring because it was going to tear my skin even with the special one I bought for pregnancy, I started to notice a couple weeks ago it getting really red so I went to the piercing place and they were really nice but the guy told me it was in my best interest to remove it before it did any damage and left a scar so I did, I was sad. So we finished the nursery well most of it anyway, we are now working on the closet and I swear people thought I had a lot of cloths what until they see her dresser and closet, the great thing about it though is that we have cloths ranging from NB - 12 months, thank you to everyone for helping our little girl dress in style. I can't wait to actually put the cloths on her and see ow cute she looks. Well I better get back to work and I do have some pics to post but I have to have my hubby upload them first so I will be back with more. Love you all

Baby Shower # 2

Hello everyone first and for most baby and mommy are doing great and can't wait to meet face to face in 6 weeks, oh my. So on Saturday March 28th my sister-in-law/aunt-to-be Katie, Erica and Kelly threw us a wonderful baby shower that included games, great food, cake and a lot of spoiling this little girl. It was wonderful to know that when she arrives not only do mom and dad have great friends and family to support them but she will also be loved by so many people who are anxiously waiting to meet her. When I woke up that day I was hoping the weather forecast was going to be wrong and that it would be 60 and sunny but i only got half of that because it was rainy, that was OK though because I was just so excited to see everyone that a little rain didn't damp in the day:) Tanisha and I arrived at 1pm and everything was set up and looked great, oh yeah Katie was able to pull off the venue it was a very large and nice conference room in the building of one of her restaurants it was perfect. I was able to mingle and talk to a lot of people while I chowed down on some good food then we played a game I was laughing so hard because I was trying to play along and boy do I stink at games and then we started the opening of gifts I almost fell on the floor when I saw the entire corner over flowing with presents, everyone was so generous. After that we had cake which was great but Kelly went the extra mile and got a cake just "For Mommy" it was my favorite chocolate w/raspberry filling oh so good. Thanks Kelly, I'm still eating it and not sharing. After all the fun I was able to talk some more with our guest and Caesar made his appearance and was also amazed on how generous people had been. After that everyone started to leave and the clean up began we had some people left just chatting and catching up for a little bit then a group of us decided to go upstairs to the restaurant and some had drinks and the rest of us just relaxed. The trucks were packed and Caesar went to his parents to see Pops and Tanisha and I went to Ramon & Katie's for a little bit to eat and hung out with there friends Pat & Shelly, had some laughs and then we went home. All in all this was a day I will never forget and I have to thank my friends and family for that, a special thank you to Katie, Kelly, & Erica. I have attached a couple pictures and will post more once I have them. Thanks for reading and we love you all.
