MOMMA SAID...

she'd post a picture of week 22 and so I am right now!
I HATE all of my preggo pics but I know how anxious I am to see other ladies' growing bellies, so I do this out of sympathy for your curious minds!


HOWEVER....I am in week 23! woohoo. The baby has not been moving much the last couple of days...which freaks me out, big time. Especially because she was moving so much this past week. But pple say that it is normal and to not worry about her. Este told her last night, "Now, you wake up for your momma, okay? " He said something last night about his daughter and it literally gave me the chills. I'm so excited to meet my lil girl.

We have had a very busy week. In four days, we made it to four different parties. Now we are trying to get everything prepared to go back east. We leave in the morning and I'm just hoping that we can get everything done. The weather has been crazy here...pouring the rain and in the 40's...which we love. However, my nose is not loving it right now!

We also got a surprise visit from Este's dad on Sunday. Here's a picture of him.

i figured it out! (just for you gussy)

so since you can click on the pics now, you can see how detailed the camera gets :)

Christmas music just makes me all warm inside....

or it could be that I'm cookin a lil someone in there :)

Esteban has noticed that I'm totally "loving" all kinds of things these days. Things just seem to touch me in such intense ways that they probably never have before...and one of those things is CHRISTMAS MUSIC. yay! As I type we are listening to "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time" :)

Anyways, I wanted to update a lot quicker but got distracted. So, let me try and sum up what's been goin on.

Este and I got a new camera for when the baby comes. I LOVE it. (There we go again with that INTENSE LOVE feeling) Yes, it's wonderful. I have been wanting one of these cameras for a while now. We can switch the lens and everything. We've been testing it out so I thought I would show some "testers."

We had just woken up when we took those pics, hence the hair and lack of makeup :)

Este felt baby move on December 1st. It was simply amazing...and I cried, of course. She has really been moving this past week. I freak out when I don't feel her now.

Tomorrow I will be 22 weeks along. I will get a picture this week of my growing belly. Here is a picture of me sometime in week 20.

(I hope you can click on the pics to enlarge them cause these are kinda far away. I don't know why some pics can do that and some cant. None of the last ones i posted did...so we shall see. If they don't, I will try and read up on it and see what I can do)

Here's my hubby actin like superman ...heehee.

And here's my spitty in his favorite spot in the world :)

Alright, no more pics!

We are going back EAST for Christmas.....woohooo! But I have a list of things around the house I want to complete before we leave. The first one I got to mark off the list is our closet. We got rid of 5 big trash bags of stuff. That's not even the "give away" pile...that's just stuff we said, "oh no, it's been too long!" I also folded all my pre-pregnancy clothes up on top and just hung the ones I can wear now. It looks and feels soooo good. Este said he feels like he's going shopping every time he goes in our closet now b/c of how nice it is. LOL. I'm actually crying right now in laughter thinkin about him saying that! Poor guy, he forgot about half the stuff he already had. HAHAHAHA.

The next thing I wanted to accomplish was to get our old office cleaned and cleared out and ready to start the nursery when we return in January. Today I got all the tough stuff done. We now just need to take lots of file boxes down to the garage (which is our next project) and have some pple come and pick up the desks. (Sorry dad, the desk you put together has gotta go..heeehe)

So, baby and I are feeling very accomplished this week. Este and I are also being very careful about the food we are eating and I am doing cardio now. So....we're both feeling better.

Here's a riddle for figuring out how big the baby is this week (I told este I really shouldnt blog when I'm feelin crazy funny like this...please forgive me):

AFTER MINUTES OF BOILING, YOU CAN THROW IT ON THE WALL.

WHEN YOU SEE A BUG ON THE FLOOR, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO TO IT

Now put those together and you'll know....LOL
