Four months already?

Giada is now four months old! I can't believe it! We have been working on rice cereal and sleeping through the night. Sleep training has been fabulous; nothing like waking up to the screams of my little angel, only to go into her room and have to explain why, though milk is near, I can't let her have it. It's like dangling a delicious slice of chocolate cake over my head and then telling me that I can't eat it, and to GO TO SLEEP! Yeah, anyone who knows me, knows that there's no chance of sleep after that temptation.

Her Doctor's appointment went great; again her head is like REALLY small for the average, but hey, one less insecurity to worry about, right? She's also very lean, weighing only 14 pounds. How I am grateful that my creamy milk is not a temptation for her to be obese! Fabulous! She's growing faster than a weed; her hair is growing in like a chia pet, and she's trying to repeat sounds that she hears, which she's amazing at doing. She giggles when tickled, and her gummy grin is the most beautiful thing in the world. I love it. I sure am a lucky mom! I will add more pics as soon as my hubby can help me fix the ones posted for last month. Poor guy's been busy doing lots of things.

Thanks for reading, and sorry if you can't make comments. That's something else that the hubby has to help me do.

33 Weeks down... How many more to go?

Well this past week has flown by, at least with the growth and development of our baby girl. Other than weighing a bit more than what she should be at this point (thanks to the gestational diabetes), she’s been fairly cooperative with the doctors. Other than making antenatal nurses madly chase her around my belly with fetal monitors to just check and see if she’s active, she is passing her tests with flying colors. I have been very impressed with the medical care that I’ve received over these past few weeks. These doctors and nurses don’t mess around; they get me the help that I need before I even know that I am in need of something. I have a few assignments; fax in my blood sugars every three days and start a bout of insulin shots, which is, ironically, a blessing. The best thing about all of the blood sugar hoopla is that it’s not my fault! I have been doing my job, but apparently the placenta is not making me look good. At least doctors are blaming something other than me! Rob a...

Week 32: Eight Months Already!

Maybe it seems normal to think that I am this far along already, but I am in total denial. It’s so crazy telling people that I’m eight months pregnant! It seems so surreal! I am totally to the point of exhaustion now. I wasn’t entirely energetic until this point anyway, but I am definitely not doing much extra lately. My days literally consist of working, coming home, sitting on my comfortable recliner, and dozing off until Rob gets home and wants to eat something. The best weekends are like this past one, where we literally stayed home nearly all day long both on Saturday and Sunday (other than Church and grocery shopping). It was great! The nursery is near completion; we still have to hang some curtains, and get some bedding for the crib. Also, we have to seriously clean out the closet and shelving to actually create some storage space for the baby’s things. She needs to put her 8 pairs of shoes (so far) somewhere, doesn’t she? I have a question to put out there for my blog foll...

Seven Months and counting

Rob and I have had many adventures being married for over seven years; we have traveled the world, seen and done many fun and exciting things. However, nothing has added up to the excitement that we feel waiting for the birth of our beautiful princess, our baby girl. Rob and I have started to prepare ourselves for the pains that come with the blessing of having a baby, and also the lack of sleep (which is my most favorite thing in the whole world to do :( We painted her bedroom purple (if you know me well, you wouldn't be too surprised about the color choice), and my darling artistic husband drew a castle on one wall (freehand, thank you very much). It's a good thing one of us knows how to draw... Anyway, this blog is to document, from here on out, our newest adventure. In addition, I literally have family all over the globe that is curious and excited about our new addition (especially my parents and in-laws as we waited FOREVER to procreate, according them them:). We are coun...
