So Far... So GOOD!

This week will be week 8! SO far I feel really good! I havent had any morning sickness so far ( knock on wood!) other than I'm a little more acidy in my stomach. Once I start feeling it I make sure I eat something and drink alot of water and that seems to do the trick! I still have my days of denial about this whole pregnancy thing and I sometimes have the urge to go buy another pregnancy test to just double check! As you can see in the picture below it definatly says PREGNANT! I found myself looking at it multiple times for a couple of days just to be sure that it didnt change but then the batteries died! I did take too and they were both positive so I guess I need to just accept that there is no going back now! hehehe!

My biggest challenge so far has been the heat... It is so HOT in my house and I feel like I'm over heating all the time. I have heat rash all over my legs and back and it's not from being outside, it's just because I'm always so freaking hot. I think that the heat is what is causing the few pregnancy symtpoms that I do have. I am bloated all the time.... I feel like im 9 months pregnant already! On top of the bloating I am having issues with the whole bathroom thing and its really annoying. I've been a little moody but the worst of that was before I knew that I was knocked up! Now that I look back at a few episodes that I had it makes a little more sense. The last thing I have felt is water retention... I thought that was something that you got at 8 months pregnant not 8 weeks! But my legs and feet are so swollen! ( this is also part of the heat too i'm sure!) here are a few pictures of how ugly my ankles... aka kankles look!!

I look like I have a tree trunk for a leg! The weirdest part to me is that my feet and ankles are swollen but my toes aren't! It looks so weird!

I had a huge bump on the side of my ankle

So far I feel pretty lucky and I hope that the next 32 weeks goes just as smooth! I have noticed that my appitite isn't really there anymore and nothing ever sounds good to eat other than Movie Theater Popcorn, and Jamba Juice! I just eat so that I don't get sick! I hope that it keeps working! I have my first doctors appointment next tuesday which I think will help with the denial I keep feeling! I started looking at baby furniture yesterday at work and found a few things that I really like. We want to start getting things now so that it doesn't kill us financially right before the baby comes. Here are a few pictures of what I found!

Big surprise I know Black and White Damask print! It does match alot of things in my house though and I can use it for a Boy or a Girl! I want to go buy it right now but I have no where to put it so I'll restrain myself for a little while! Some of you who are reading this are probably thinking that this is way more info than you ever wanted to know but I think most of you will know exactly what I am talking about! Plus I'm not one who is easily embarrassed about anything ...If you ask I'll tell!!! hahah You have been warned!


P.S. I think that Michael Jackson Died for a reason, I was already pregnant before he died and so either way I wouldn't have been able to go! God knew that I would probably be angry so he took him before I knew that my dream was to be shattered no matter what! hahaha just kidding!

On March 10, 2010............

Gio and I are Having A

BABY MEXICAN!!!!

We are very excited, very nervous, and not exactly quite sure if we are ready but it's too late now!

The King of POP!

For anyone who knows me or Gio very well We are HUGE Michael Jackson Fans. I LOVE him! Today is a tragic day in our house because we lost our Idol. He has influenced music and dance more than anyone ever has. He is truly a legend and has inspired so many great artists. Gio and I were so excited to go to London in January to see in live in concert. We knew that it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a legend. We stayed up pretty much all night to buy tickets and when we actually got them we were exstatic! We couldn't believe that it was really happening. When I heard the news today of his passing I was in shock and I didn't believe it for a while... you could say I was a bit in denial. I still feel like I'm in a dream a little bit. Needless to say we won't be going to London anymore, and we will never have one of our larger dreams come true, but we still have his music and memories of how amazing he is. I hope that now that he is gone that the world will remember him for the genius he was and for what he has done for the entertainment world and not for how "strange" is was or how "weird" he looked. It says alot about an artist that is known in every part of the world and is idolized by many. Michael You will be Missed... God Bless the KING OF POP!!!

Here are a few pictures of the life of Michael Jackson:

Look at what a cute baby he was!

It was alot of work to plan for that many people... but it was SOOO much fun and I love spending time with my family! It makes me appreciate my Mom so much because she puts on stuff like this all the time. I was soo exhausted and every muscle in my body aches from the loading, hauling, preparing, and the lack of sleep! It was a great Birthday celebration though and I can't wait until next year to do it again!!! Hopefully everyone who couldnt make it can be there next year!

Happy Birthday Gio!!!

So as you can see my husband is a little crazy... and goofy... and lets be honest a little wired sometimes!!! But this is just the way I like him!! He makes me laugh, keeps my on my toes, and drives my nuts and I wouldn't want my life any other way! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIO!!! I love you Stinky!!! XOXOXOXO

Glitter Toes!

I was painting my toenails last night with my new hot pink polish, and Gio wanted my attention... he asked my to paint his too so that I would pay attention to him! He first chose red, green, and white because he wanted to show his Mexican pride, it looked like christmas so he switched to this cool blue and silver with glitter on top! He's such a nerd and will probably kill me for posting this!! I love you Gio!!!


My feet look weird because I didnt want to smudge the paint,,, I hate that!


Those are some sexy hairy blue toes!!!


Needless to say I fell asleep and smudged my toes afterall... I need to paint them earlier in the day!!
PS... My toes aren't that fat! My house was so hot last night that my feet were swollen!

Getting Closer!!!

So we have met with a loan officer and a real estate agent and we are getting close to making an offer!!! We have to get a few more things put together and we will be good to go! I hope it all works out so we can invite you all over for dinner!!! I have felt really good about this place and I know that it will be a great investment for us. Keep your fingers crossed that it all goes through!!! I can't wait!!! I'll keep you all updated....
