24 weeks and counting.

Yesterday I reached my 6 month mark, I can't believe it has gone by so fast. This month we have had many good times. Beginning of the month was my Birthday and Carina started her swim classes and also Easter. Carina loves to go to her swim classes if it was up to her she would be there everyday. She never seizes to amaze me she is growing so fast and knows so much. Today her sitter at daycare asked is Carina 3 yrs old or 2 because she is learning so much and she is ahead for her age. Her sitter use to be a Kindergarten teacher and she is teaching the kids the ABC's, colors, reading and Carina is fast to pick things up. What I love the most about this age is that she wants to learn and do things on her own, but still loves to spend time with Mami. She already says that she loves her baby sister and love to kiss and hug my belly.

This weekend Will and I get to have a little get away and are going for a few days to Sanibel Island, just the two of us. It has been 4 years since our last vacation alone, I will miss my Nina very much but we really need to get away before the baby gets here. I'll let you know how it goes. Once we get back we need to kick things into high gear because we basically have nothing done for when the baby get here.

Oh so you know how when your pregnant you get all kinds of comments, well like last time everyone thinks I'm 1 to 2 months further along than I am. Yes my belly is pretty huge already, but now I get them at work too and I work at my OB/GYN. Here are a few; "oh you look bigger everyday", " hey do you remember the blue berry girl from Willy Wonka?". Well let me just say that in 6 months I only gained 8lbs and I am only 4'11 so the only way I can grow is out. So really people don't need to be such retards and say things are oh so sweet. OK so that is my venting for now, good thing I'm not an emotional pregnant lady and after the comments my face says exactly what I'm thinking without saying a word. I guess that covers us for now. Next post we'll have a name for Baby G.

I posted some pics from this month enjoy.

I'll try to post more often but I make no promises.

IT's A GIRL!!!!!!

Here is our new family member and future Princess # 3. She was a little shy at first, she had her legs tucked underneath herself and after about 5 or 10 minutes she eventually let us see.

Look, doesn't she have the cutest little baby booty already.

We are very excited and are now trying to find a name for our new baby. Carina loves to hug & kiss my belly and says that when the baby is here she is going to dance with her and show her all kinds of things. I love the fact that she will have a sister to grow up with. Everyone kept saying it's a boy, or hopefully you get the pair, but I was hoping for a girl even when I felt it might have been a boy. I consider my girls my perfect pair.

Here she is being Shy.

This one she is waving at one of her big sister's.

Hello Nina...

And here are a few belly pics....

Here is baby Girl at 18 weeks and 2 days.

I feel much better, most of my green feeling is gone. Only problem now is my allergies which I pray for rain so they can ease up. So far I have gained only 3-4 lbs, it goes up and down, I know most people tell me "that's it" but remember I was already a little plumpy before we planted the seed in my belly.

I will try my best to post more often.

Happy New Year!!!

Hi everyone it's been a long time since our last family update. We had a great Christmas and quiet New Year. We spent Christmas at our house and New Years Eve at my sisters house. Christmas Eve we had my family over and my aunt from New York and her husband were able to spend time with us. The girls danced around and we made sure we got it on film. On Christmas morning I thought Carina would be really excited because this year she knew and I thought understood who Santa was. Well on Christmas morning she woke up and I was ready with the camera and I said "Nina Santa came" she came out to the living room and just walked right by the tree and straight to Abuela. She totally ignored the presents until we started to give them to her and then that is when her excitement came out. The smile I was waiting for was even bigger than I could imagine. She loved all her toys and clothes and helped everyone open their presents. After we had breakfast we went to Poinciana and she got to open more presents at Abuela's house.

This Christmas we also got a gift that we can all soon enjoy I found out in early Dec. that in August 2009 we will have a new baby. I don't think Carina understands to well, today I am 10 weeks and she has been kissing my belly. The picture below is our new little one. The top picture shows the little muchkin it is the little circle on top and the second picture also shows the sound waves of it's heart. Once I heard the swishing, I realized that it is was real & we will be blessed with new baby soon.

Christmas is Here and I Love it...

This year for some reason I am more excited about Christmas than usual. On Thanks Giving weekend I had Will go in the atic and get down all our Christmas decorations and we put more lights outside than before. He kept asking if I wanted to seld and deers and I said yes, the Nativiy scene yes that too, and wreath yes. Of course he started to joke about the light bill going up with so much decorations outside. What I loved the most is that this year Carina is old enough to get excited about Christmas too and she wanted to help decorate. We hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year. Below are some pics of the house and us.

This Weekend we spent Thanksgiving at My Mom's house here are a few pics.

ROAD TRIP!!!!!

Hilton Head, S.C 2008

Hi everyone so it has been a while since I updated the blog. Let's get caught up, on the weekend of November 21st we spent 4 days in Hilton Head, S. C. & Savannah, GA. We try to make the trip every year in Nov. and this year we made more new and great memories. We spent our first night in our villa which was beautiful, we stayed at the Disney Vacation Club Resort and this year we got a 2 story 3 bedroom villa. Needless to say we could stayed there longer, it was like a log cabin, with a fire place and 2 balconies.

Friday we went to Savannah, GA we walked around the shops and then went to dinner at "The Lady & Son's" it is Paula Dean's restaurant. We were all disappointed to with the food, it is southern food, but the was nothing special or delicious about it. I do not know why so many people stand in line day after day to eat there. We expected a much better menu and food, what we do know is that when we go to Savannah next year we wont go there again. That night we also did what they told us would be a ghost tour, it was more like a walking history tour of Downtown Savannah in 30 degree weather. We were freezing our butts off and not 1 scary thing happened. I was hoping at least someone would jump out of a bush to scare us and then maybe my adrenaline would warm me up, but no such luck. So once again we will no go do that again.

Saturday we hung out at the resort a little and then went to a town in S.C., then ate dinner in the resort it was my sister Nadja's Birthday. Sunday we packed up went to a different part of Savannah by the dock and walked around then headed home. We had a good time and hope we can make the trip again next year. I attached some pictures below.

This picture on the stairs took about 7 tries to get the camera to take at the right time. The pictures on the tree once we were up we had no one to take the picture.

Last night we took Carina to the neighborhood Halloween Festival. She had the chance to play some games, do the hula and dance. By the end of the night she was pooped. Here are a few pictures.
