Maternity Tour

I feel like this pregnancy is just rushing through!

I absolutely cannot wait till little man is here. 

So today, was our long awaited maternity tour. Overall, I got such a good vibe from the hospital and the staff that it made me so excited for LABOR. lol...

Along with hubby and I went my sister. She wanted to see the place as well. We really liked it because it wasn't a big overwhelming hospital it's just perfect.

Engaged!

No, not me! I'm married 'member?!? lol

But my chubster... we went to our prenatal today and doc checked on him and sure enough baby is now head down and fully engaged! On other exciting news, he's now measuring right on target. I am beyond ecstatic! To think that soon... real soon he'll be here. :) Yay!

30 Weeks!

I still cannot believe I've made it this far. I feel so lucky and blessed. God willing, in 10 weeks or less we will have our little rainbow baby here with us. I'm excited and oh so nervous!

So our little Alejandro was already measuring 30 weeks at our 28 week ultrasound, so I'm thinking he's probably measuring 32 now. I wonder if the doc will change EDD if he keeps it up.

Of course like any new mom I keep second guessing weather I'll be a good mom, if my baby will have what it needs, will things be okay? And I have to remind myself that things will be just as they need to be. That God chose this time for us for a reason.

We shall see as I have an upcoming appointment this wednesday. I also hope I get to see and hear his little heart beating away. I LOVE to hear him! It's the most amazing feeling ever :)

Wish us luck and as always keep us in your prayers :)

En La Gloria de Dios



Last week I was thinking of my grandpa and found this song on iTunes. It is such a beautiful song by one of my favorite latin artists Ricardo Montaner. To my surprise he sings this song with his daughter, Evaluna. The video although very simple made me fall in love with the song because you can tell he has such an admiration for his daughter.

Again, beautiful. :')


La gloria de Dios maneja mi vida
con hilos de amor, que puso en mi alma
me lleva hasta él.

La gloria de Dios, gigante y sagrada,
me carga en sus brazos, alienta mis pasos,
me llena de paz y miel.
Sale a jugar cuando me viene a ver
y me deja ganar.

En la gloria de Dios tendré
el descanso para mis pies,
con su manto mi frío desaparecerá
y descansaré.
De la gloria de Dios vendrá
bendición y abundante pan,
para ti, para mí, y a quien quiera venir
a la gloria de Dios.

La gloria de Dios maneja mi vida
con hilos de amor, que puso en mi alma
me lleva hasta él.

La gloria de Dios, gigante y sagrada,
me carga en sus brazos, alienta mis pasos,
me llena de paz y miel.
Sale a jugar cuando me viene a ver
y me deja ganar.

En la gloria de Dios tendré
el descanso para mis pies,
con su manto mi frío desaparecerá
y descansaré.
De la gloria de Dios vendrá
bendición y abundante pan,
para ti, para mí, y a quien quiera venir
a la gloria de Dios.

En la gloria…

Oh, de la gloria de Dios vendrá
bendición y abundante pan,
para ti, para mí, y a quien quiera venir
a la gloria de Dios.
Para ti, para mí, y a quien quiera venir
a la gloria de Dios.

En la gloria de Dios,
hago de ti, pan,
gloria, gloria, gloria, gloria.

En la gloria…
Desaparecerá, descansaré.

En la gloria de Dios…
Sólo, sólo la gloria de Dios.

Gloria, gloria, gloria…

The Not-Nursery

At first hubby and I thought about giving the baby his own room, his nursery. But after careful thought and sudden first time parent anxiousness we changed our mind. You see the room we want to use is far from our bedroom and I just can't do it. I can't see me leaving my chubster so far from me. And our bedroom gets pretty cold. Sooooo.... the solution was to create a calming space for both baby and us. We've already painted the room a beautiful green called "safari green" and bought a few pieces from ikea to fill the space. We still need to get a shelving unit and a queen bed for us to sleep in. We figure when baby gets older we can ween ourselves back to our bedroom and he can have his own space.


I've also done some baby shopping the past couple of months. I've gotten my start-up cloth diaper stash, some wipes, a few newborn outfits, some 3 month outfits, receiving blankets, grooming kit, etc.

Just thinking about the baby being here is making me sooooooo excited. I know it's going to be hard, but my goodness we've waited soooo long! I can't wait!
