THE FUN OF IT ALL!

Cris is here setting up baby's first bed. Is it not beautiful. We were so excited when we found this crib. I love bulky wood furniture and this crib fits right in.

First baby shower is coming up tomorrow. My mother-in-law Rosa is throwing me this shower and I am really excited. We have waited so long to get to do all these baby things, I am just swimming in joy that it is finally my turn. Does that sound bad, but if you know our story you understand.
These are the invitations that I made. The baby doesn't really have a themed room but I did decide on having sage green and brown be some focal colors. So the invites are those colors. The card folds in thirds and had an ultrasound picture of the baby in the middle. He wanted to invite everyone personally.

Baby at 29 Weeks

This is the little guy. This picture is him looking right at you. You can see his two eyes, nose and mouth. He is totally smiling too!!! He definetly has big cheeks like both sides of our families.

This was the ultrasound from today. They say that he is 29 weeks along, 3.3 pounds, and in the 70th percentile for all his measurements. They also said that he has alot of hair.

It was great fun to see him. They showed me how he was positioned, which is head down, facing my spine, with his legs and arms hitting and kicking my right side; which I can testify is true. But of course the one time he wasn't moving was during this ultrasound and they really wanted him too.

Baby Belly at 27 weeks

What a bad blogger I am. I have not updated this in months but here we go.



The baby is doing great and I am really showing now. He moves around all the time especially when I eat. Alot of the time it seems like he is making my belly dance. When he does, I totally crack up because it tickles.

This past week my mom bought the baby a crib and Cris and I set it up. It looks great. It is one of those convertible kind so I hope it was worth it to buy. We are finally starting to get the nursery together; well it is really half the office. Poor guy has to share his room with a really big but beautiful office desk. Oh, and we are preping for the first of the two baby showers. It is very difficult to have a bilingual baby shower, so we divided the people up. My mother-in-law Rosa and my mom are throwing me a baby shower in spanish and my friends Amy Smith, Anne Smith, Charlotte Harumi and Michelle Eagar are throwing me one in English. They are all so sweet to do this. It is so much work and I am really grateful.

I have an ultrasound today so when I get those pictures I will post those along with pictures from our trip to Lake Mendocino this coming weekend. Wish me luck, camping at 29 weeks pregnant, well we'll see how that goes.



I also have to say how genuinely happy I am. To me, it feels like I was meant to be pregnant, meant to be a mom and I wouldn't trade in this time for anything in the world. With that said I have to let everyone know what a great husband I have and how much he has been helping me. A friend of ours asked Cris one time how the pregnancy was going and he told her how it was going great and that I have felt really good the whole time and she said that he must me doing a good job taking care of me and I really think that is true. He is so considerate and loving and I am really grateful.



Some of you have asked for pictures of me so here we are. Two pictures of me taken about a week ago. Sorry they aren't that good but I took them by myself using the timer on my camera.
