SO I WAS BEING REALLY CREATIVE

with the fruit my darling baby is this week...but i cant spell it. it seems that there is like 3 ways to spell it so...ppppshhh. im gonna spell it my way~

can ta lope

can you believe it? she's big! i believe i felt her again tonight 3 times. it's amazing. i'm 5 months this week and today was really the first day I got a big reaction about my belly. Este touched my belly today and said "wow!" with the cutest face ever.

In the beginning, I really didnt think i could be pregnant again because of how miserable i felt, but now i'm really enjoying it...the 2nd trimester really is all that it's cracked up to be. yay!

So the day is winding down and it was a wonderful thanksgiving. My humphry (este) is wonderful. He woke up and watched the macy's parade with me...i know it's not his thing AT ALL but he didnt complain and actually acted into it. It made me so happy. We then went to be with the fam and it was great, as always, and the food was SCRUMPTIOUS! This is after I about killed 5 pple at the grocery store...arghh. get outta my way!

ALERT....Este is actually waking up with me early in the morning (4am) to go shopping with me. I am still totally shocked and am trying not to talk about it too much so that he doesnt realize what he's actually gonna be doin. I said that i would rent a wheelchair for the day and push him around...:)

It's amazing how the Lord can continually grow husband and wife together, even after years. I would never wanna experience a marriage outside of the Lord because I see the tons of blessings that is involved with Him. ahhh.
We got home tonight and este looked at me and said something to the effect that he gets me all to himself for the rest of the night...no more sharing :) hehee.

Anyways, I'm really excited to begin traditions with our lil bambina! I realized today that the next mothers day...I'M GONNA BE A MOTHER. Am I old enough? heehe. It's crazy that as soon as I found out I'm having a girl, I felt unprepared and too young.

pictures will be coming soon. I still wanna scan the pics of baby and Ill get another belly shot this week.
"Thank you Lord for your grace, forgiveness, and love. Thank you for all my family and friends. You are so good to me!" HAPPY THANKSGIVING

we're having a ...

CHICA! :) I was very SHOCKED by this, but after the shock and fear went away, extreme excitement and joy filled my heart. We're going to have a daughter, that's unbelievable! It was amazing to see her move around. I do have pictures of her, I will post those soon!

Since I haven't posted in a while, I will try and sum up what's been going on in our life.

We went on a cruise to the Caribbean for a week. My parents joined us and we had a grand time!

On the way to the airport, I was telling my mother and father-in-law that before I die, I would like to ride first class...even if it's just an hour long...i have got to do it. We got the perfect opportunity on the first flight to Florida. It was amazing.

As you can see, we had plenty of space to sprawl out and Este slept most the way:) We had real napkins for our laps, real silverware, OJ poured from a fancy pitcher, and breakfast. That's one thing marked off my list...but I would jump at the chance to do it again!

On the ship, headed for Cozumel!

There were tons of shows and entertainment every night. To top it off, we would go back to our room and would have "towel animals!"

Mom and I went kayaking in Cozumel while dad snorkeled and Este slept in the hammock!

And we're off to Grand Cayman!

Este had a very adventurous time here. He got to hold sea turtles and a parrot tried to rob him. Ha Ha

Our beautiful floating city!

Jamaica!

Formal night and the great couple that we ate with every night. We tried to get away from them at first, but they ended up being wonderful ;) j/k

Haiti!

And lastly, here comes the baby bump picture. I really am HATING how I'm looking, so I tried to hide as much as I could while showing my belly. I really think that unless you know I'm pregnant, pple just probably think im fat ...can't wait for that stage to be over!

Anyways, I will try to be good and get a picture often...this is at 19 weeks.
