Great News!!

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.
