17 Weeks

So, as always, time is still flying by.

We're 17 weeks along today....nothing really feels different! I'm feeling great. We're so anxious for our next appointment (2 weeks, 1 day!!) :) YAY!

I've been a little more tired lately than usual, since I've been watching little Sofi. She's a tiny little muffin, but is quite heavy for her age - so I'm pretty warn out at the end of each day! :)

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE! PRAISE GOD! We've been enjoying the nice weather so much already. Last weekend we grilled on Saturday down in DC with Jason and Kristin...and Sunday we grilled at Pete and Jess' house. Felt so nice to finally be outside, enjoying some sun!

I wish there was more to tell....but for now that really is about it. Beto is doing well...busy with work, but doing very well.

Hopefully soon there will be more I can share with you guys.

15 Weeks

So just had our third prenatal doctor's appointment yesterday (4th month check-up). It was my favorite visit so far! I should probably add too that Beto and I both like my Doctor SOOO much! I'm so happy that out of all the MANY I could've chosen from, I seemed to have picked just the right one for me. Just another blessing from God! He is so funny, and so very, very kind. He gives us all the time in the world, talks our ears off, and always, always, ALWAYS, is smiling. He is so nice. He predicted the baby to be a boy - based on the heartbeat (totally not proven to be accurate, but supposedly if the heart beat is slower, it's usually a boy. Faster, it's a girl.) The Dr. said the baby's heart was beating at 140 bpm, although, I'm not sure that was 100% accurate, because the baby wouldn't stay still long enough for us to hear it for very long! :) I had no idea the baby moved so much already. The Dr. had to follow around, looking from place to place, as the baby moved inside. Aw, melts my heart!

Anyway, now it's the countdown, because at our next appointment, we find out the sex. We're SO excited!! Yay!

Things have been well. This week I started taking care of little Sofi (Strickland), while Camille's at work. I'll be watching her for three weeks. She's so precious, and I'm so glad to be able to have this time with her! She's growing so much everyday!

Good Friday

Thank you JESUS for the price you paid at Calvary!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:16

On this day many years ago, Jesus Christ gave you and I the greatest gift that can be given to mankind. He offered Himself as a substitute for our sins. He died on the cross to pay our debt so that we may live with hope and have a chance for eternal life in Heaven. On the third day, He conquered death, and ROSE AGAIN! He created us, He loves us, He died for us, He rose again for us and He wants us to live in Heaven for eternity with Him someday.

God, I'll never know how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross. THANK YOU!

14 Weeks

Second Trimester Begins

Today I am 14 weeks, and beginning my second trimester! Wow! Time goes by so quickly. I've been feeling great, and growing a little more everyday! (I feel like I look larger in pictures than I actually am though. Maybe?? :) Who knows!) My next appointment is next week, and we can't wait to hear the heartbeat again, and to most of all, make sure all is progressing well. 

People say that the second trimester is always when you feel your best. I can't really imagine feeling any better than I already have been, so if that's possible, then I gladly welcome the second trimester!! 

God is so great - Thank you Lord for this healthy pregnancy! We're so blessed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAQUELITA!

Happy Birthday Quels! I wish I were there to celebrate with you! Love you and miss you!!!

First Baby Purchase

I got these as a surprise for Beto. Anyway, boy or girl, he or she will be set to be a little Barça baby. Our cute onesies arrived from Spain on the weekend!

Almost 13 Weeks

Quite obviously, I was not meant to be a "blogger." I'm TERRIBLE at this. Ha! After my last post, I completely forgot that I had even started a blog. :) Oops!

Anyway, here I am, back again. I will be 13 weeks tomorrow. Yay! Time is flying by - I'm almost done with the first trimester!!

We had an appointment on the 18th of this month. It went well. Beto got to come with this time. There was no ultrasound, but we did get to hear our baby's heartbeat. So that was exciting for him. It was nice and strong - 169 bpm!

I feel sooooo blessed. This first trimester has been a breeze. I had like one week that I didn't feel well (and it wasn't even that bad), and the rest of the time, I haven't even felt pregnant! It's been so smooth.

My cousin, Rachel, has been visiting for the week from California, so that has kept me busy. I'm glad for that. I'll try to figure out again how to post a picture, so that I can post some of the ones we took together this week.

Due Date

I forgot an important detail.....Our precious baby is due

Our Baby's First Picture - 7 Weeks, 1 Day

We're Expecting!!

So - Big News! I'm 9 weeks pregnant!

We found out on February 5th, when we were in Austin, Texas for a friend's wedding. It was very exciting. We couldn't wait to get back home to take some more tests, to be absolutely POSITIVE of our circumstances! Ha! So we did just that. We arrived home, and Albert went out and bought two more tests, that both resulted positive. So then I scheduled an appointment with the Dr. I went on Wednesday, February 18th, and it was a GREAT first appointment! They did an ultrasound, where I not only saw our little bean, but heard and saw the heartbeat. Was so awesome! God is AWESOME! We were a little sad because Albert couldn't come with me to the appointment because of work, but oh well. I brought home the pictures to show him. 

None of this quite seems real yet. Regardless, we are excited, thankful, and trusting God for a healthy baby and smooth pregnancy!

Have no idea what i'm doing

I am bored out of my mind, so I decided to create a blog. That's all I got for now.
