Sunny Days

Lately the weather here in Los Angeles has been a little muggy... definitely see the "june gloom." But yesterday, to our surprise, was a nice sunny day... so sunny and warm out that we were able to head out to the beach. Not necessarily to swim, but to walk the Santa Monica Pier. It was amazing. Perfect. and just plain one of my most favorite outings since I've been pregnant. The weather wasn't uncomfortable at all.

Hubby and I just strolled the pier, took lots of pictures, enjoyed the breeze, and people watched. I could tell even the baby loved it because he was nice and calm throughout the entire time. Definitely good times. :)

The chubster on the Pier...lol

3D Ultrasound

Got to see my little man today... it was so exciting. Seeing him move around and YAWN was the cutest. At first he did not want to cooperate. He had his foot right in front of his face for like 10 minutes! However, soon after he moved it and let us take a peek at his face. I truly think he's a perfect mix of both hubby and I, but his lips are all ME! It's actually funny because when I texted these pictures to my sis and brother that is the first thing they both commented on. LOL

Overall, it was a good experience and we're pleased to have this memory of him :) BTW, he is still a HE :)

Here he is with his foot right at his cheek... he's a flexible lil guy!

... and my favorite, the yawn :) LOL

The bump

I was getting ready to head on to work when I looked int he mirror and Lord behold, this is what I saw!

I laugh because for along time I just saw myself as chubby, but today wow I could tell HE's really in there. It just became sooooo real! Glad I caught this because truth be told, I haven't really taken any bump pics this pregnancy. So yeah.... 33 weeks 4 days :) About four to seven weeks left!!! eeeeek!

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 :)

Third Trimester

It's hard to believe I've made it this far. It is something I truly never imagined would happen. To think, in a few more weeks my beautiful little man will be in my arms brings such joy to me. I'm seriously considering having another one soon after if this pregnancy continues without complications :) lol. . . I mean I've been lucky. very lucky. Nausea here and there, but close to no morning sickness whatsoever. I have to say I've loved being pregnant thus far. I specially love laying in bed and feeling him kick away. Last time hubby and I were cuddling and we could both feel him kick hubby. It was the most precious thing ever.
