Now I know what most of you are thinking..... But what the great news is that Eddie proposed!! Yes we are engaged!! He asked me in the sweetest way, and i couldn't ask for more :) I know your thinking oh wow just in time, but before this baby business being together forever was in our cards! Eddie is a great well rounded man, and makes me so happy every day, even when I'm frustrated by life and everything that gets thrown at us, he still finds a way to make me laugh and smile. I know I should call everyone individually and let them know the great news, and I will but this way everyone can know at once :)
I do have one more week until this baby I'd due and I can't wait to finally meet this little man.

Getting Really Excited
Its getting closer, and I'm becoming more and more excited about what my future will hold. Last weekend was my baby shower, and it was so good to see familiar faces that I have not seen in while. We were blessed with so many gifts, and love that I know our baby boy will be one loved little guy. I have only two more days of work, and I will be gone for 10-12 weeks. Oh the joys of having a baby, now I can see why there is always someone pregnant at my job, the maternity leave is pretty generous.
My official due date is September 18th, so that means that in one month (give or take) I will be holding my baby boy... I wonder what he will look like... Will he be blond, bald, have blue, green or brown eyes? Will he look like Eddie or me more? Will I be in labor for hours on end? Who knows....... All I know is that I want a healthy baby, who is ready to be loved.
Since I will be at home more, and not consumed with work or school I will be able to keep up on my blog more.

32 weeks Down 8 more to go.......
I know I have mentioned before that I just love love love the weekends!! I'm counting down the hours until I'm off work, and getting my hair done. I have a much needed hair apt, and I know I will feel fabulous when I'm done. Something about someone else washing your hair is just amazing.
So I have 8 more weeks to go on this adventure of mine, and I'm More than ready. Even though I'm technically 8 months pregnant, it really takes about 10 months to fully cook this baby :) He moves a lot and likes to give me jab in my ribs more than I really would like him too. Oh well...... I have about one month of work left, and I really cant keep my mind in one place. Between almost finishing this crazy summer class, and just being excited about this baby I cant seem to stay focused. It seems the weather has been nice to me, and I appreciate the fact that it has not been too hot. I know all you east coasters are reading this in your crazy heat wave thinking how nice it could be on the coast of CA.
Have an awesome Friday and beautiful weekend :)

It has Been a While
It has been some time, since I have had time to actually post on my blog. I have been so busy with work, school, and getting ready for the baby.
Work is good, and things are always moving forward. Its exhausting, and I honestly can not wait to take a couple months off. Even though I know I will be busy with a newborn, its going to be great to get some sense of freedom for some times.
School is hard, summer classes move so fast, and I feel like I'm constantly on the computer, spending hours doing my assignments and taking tests. Its financial accounting, and I do not understand how some people do this for a living or would even want to do that for a living. Too many numbers, and charts. I have to get through these classes to get to the good ones though. I just read an article today that the best and most diverse degree to have is a business degree, so it gave me some encouragement to just suck it up, and keep moving forward.
Now for the baby news :) I'm getting more excited about the arrival of my baby boy. I think I have picked a name, and its a great name. I'm going to keep it to myself until the the baby is born, but this has been a hard task, and I have found one that I love, and Eddie can work with :) He is moving around like crazy, and has some strong kicks at times, but its a reminder that he is getting stronger, and developing into a beautiful little baby. I really hope he has green eyes, and dark hair. We will see though..... The baby room is coming along, but its still a lot of work ahead of me. My baby shower is about a month away and I cant wait to see some friends, and family.

Do I see a Three Day Weekend in My future?
Did I mention before that I love the weekends? Well I do, and when you work hard you have to play hard. Even though most of my playing used to involve some Coronas, and Margaritas... Its doesn't mean I still cant have fun.
I'm going to be 24 weeks this coming Tuesday. 6 months down, and about 3 and a half to go. I finally have a little belly. Its weird because about two weeks ago you would look at me and would not even be able to tell that I was pregnant. Now you can tell, I'm still small, and its all belly, but at least people don't give me the stank eye as much as they did before when I told them I'm almost 6 months. The little baby boy decided that the world needed to notice him a little more. Getting bigger is strange, and I honestly do not really like it at all, but its all part of the process, and I know I still have so much more to go.......
I'm planning on going to the A's game this Saturday with Eddie ( he has the weekend off! again :) Its firework night, so it should be fun. Other than that I really don't have too many plans. I need to do my baby registry. It should be fun, but I really have no clue what I'm doing.... I've been told not to get the wipe warmers :)
I finished my class at school for the semester, and got a B. Not an A, which I was hoping for, but its been a weird couple of months, so I still feel good about it. I signed up for a summer class, and one online fall class. I will be having the baby right in beginning of the semester, and I know it will be tough, but I took the easiest class I have left. Getting a Business degree involves a lot of math.... I do not like math, but I'm determined to get that degree!!

The Festives
So we were able to pull it off. First party at the new house in honor of Arielle turning 6. Lots of people came, and i was so happy to see every ones faces. People were able to see and enjoy our new home, and the kids had a blast.
The morning started off with rain, and cold weather, so I decided to call off the big jumper we ordered. About 30 minutes after I cancelled the jumper the sun started to shine..... So I thought it wouldn't hurt to try and see if they will still bring it. The good news is that the company is located close, and they were able to bring the jumper last minute!! The kids had a blast jumping around, and burning off all that cake, candy, and food. It never rained either :)
Things seem to always work out. Thank you everyone who made it, and look forward to more events at the house this year.

A Battle or a Gift?
Every day I come into work, and I ask the question? Hows the battle going? Someone than asked me... What battle? I replied with the daily battle, everything is a battle, but it can come in good or bad. A week later the same person tells me that in church the pastor was talking about how life has daily battles..... So now they believe me, but they had to hear from church.
Live is a constant battle. Of course a lot of good things come out of these battles, but it doesn't come easy. My grandma told me about a week ago, that if life was easy, and there were no struggles, you wouldn't appreciate the easier, and more simple times in life. I 100% agree with this. I have worked very hard to get where I am today, and I would never change anything that I have experienced or gone through to get here.

Waiting For The News!
So the results in are!!
That's right! I'm having a baby boy! I knew it as soon as I looked up at the screen. He was not afraid to show his boy parts to us! Whats so cool about the fact that I will be having a boy is that he will be the first boy grand baby, great grand baby, and nephew!
The baby is healthy, and all the necessary parts are there, looks like I'm on my way to having a healthy strong baby, and in the end that's all that matters to me :)
When I first found I I was pregnant I thought I was having a girl, until recently I started having the feeling that in fact I was not careening a girl, but that I will be having a little baby boy. I guess my intuition was right.
Now that I know that I'm going to bring a little monster into the world I can start thinking about the nursery. I'm thinking I want to do a safari theme. With Lions, Tigers, Elephants, Giraffe's, Zebras, well you get the idea. I want to look like you stepped into a a little safari. I think its a great theme for a boy. I want to think it over a little more, but I'm really leaning towards that :)
Eddie and I got to take Lil Eddie and Arielle to T-ball today and we let them know that they will be having a new baby brother. Arielle cried... and I think Lil Eddie was just surprised he was wrong.. lol. They will be fine. They both were rooting for a baby sister.
Here are a few more pictures of the little one. Its just so exciting and so real!

Love The Weekends (Happy Friday)
I gotta say every Friday I wake up with a good feeling knowing that, first off I get to wear whatever I want to work, jeans, flip flops, and a sweater! I don't have to worry about find the right outfit, for how I'm feeling, or what kind of shoes I want to torture myself in. That is a great feeling. Second reason, is I know that when I get home after work I can kick of my flip flops, and enjoy my night, weather it be doing my math homework ( fun I know) or watching a movie, and cooking a good din din. Well I don't really cook, but now that my kitchen is twice the size I find myself wanting to cook more. Beware, because I'm not the greatest cook, but I do know how to follow directions :) I've been wanting to cook some chicken, but after I eat my brothers BBQ its really hard to except that mine will be nowhere as good as his.
My plans this weekend consists of enjoying the warmer weather, and unpacking boxes. Yes I have boxes left, and I feel like it will be never ending. I did get through about 6 of them last night, but I still have a garage with about 15 in there. My house is empty, and I sorta like it like that. Maybe I should just throw everything out that's in those boxes..... I'm sure there are some things I need, and that I will miss, but I've gone over a week without them, so why not a lifetime? Let me think that one through a little...
Next Tuesday will be an exciting day for me :) I will already be 20 weeks into the pregnancy, and I get to find out if a boy, or girl has been making me feel like crap this whole time. Its all starting to get so real, and I will be sending out text messages to my people, and let them know what I will be expecting. The weird thing is I really would like to have a girl, but I have a feeling I could be carrying a boy. All I know is that whatever I'm having I just want a happy healthy baby :) With parents like Eddie and Myself, I'm hoping for a tall child, that is goofy, fun, and loving. Most likely will be a monster, but hey I was one as a child, and I always say that Karma is a B****. That's another thing I need to stop doing... I swear way to much.
Well happy Friday to all, and enjoy the sun :)

Easter Celebrations
I always love getting together with my family :) It seems each time I get together with them, I enjoy myself and the company that they all provide. We all celebrated at my brothers, and sister in laws house. Great food, great laughs, and yes a sunburn on my forearms from the amazing sun yesterday. I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and content with my life.
I'm a busy body and constantly moving around, and yes I sometimes will complain about how I don’t get time to myself, and the day is never long enough to get everything done.....but I wouldn’t change that for anything. My busyness comes with a lot of gifts. I have a great family, and friends, a caring and loving boyfriend, and a job that I feel good about going to every day. I appreciate the challenges I face due to the fact that I will only learn and grow from them.

My Hot Mess
Hello,
I've decided to start a blog. Weird I know, but I've become inspired since my life has been going through so many changes, and to be honest its sorta freaking me out! That's why I decided to name my blog "Jean's Hot Mess." Reason being I'm confident of my self, and hotness, but I'm still a mess at the same time. If you know me, you know what I mean :)
I never would have though I would be in the situations that I'm in at this time in my life. I feel like I have a job of a 35 yr old, and a well educated person. I do have some education, but an AA is not a huge accomplishment on my list, considering my very competitive co-work is well into his 40s and has way more education than me. I'm working on the school thing. it looks like I will finally have my BA in 2015 from Cal State East Bay. Seems so far away, but I know its what I need to do to make myself more valuable in the job market.
My personal life is even crazier right now. I'm 18 weeks pregnant as of now, and I still am getting sick every morning... My doctor tells me " Oh that means your baby is really Healthy" I'm thinking... whatever, I'm sick and it sucks.... I have not gained any weight, but again my doc is telling me that is probably from eating better, and the fact I'm not tossing back a few anymore. I'm just waiting for that "magical bliss" that people talk about when they are pregnant. Where is it, because I'm not a happy camper....
Eddie and I also moved into a nice 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom home. Eddie purchased a cherry wood changing table, and matching blanket box, that i love. So I'm looking forward to getting my nursery together in time for the baby.
I'm happy that I get to be around some good friends, and family this weekend, because I need it! Moving was tough, but we did it, and we are both very relieved to be in a much better living situation.
I'll keep up with the blog, and keep you all posted on the exciting upcoming events in my life, because I'm honestly feeling like a hot mess!!!!
