Pictures

Here are some pictures for you mom (yes I'll make sure that I e-mail them to you as well). Raul was the photographer.

Modeling a new dress for the convention:


Here in the kitchen after getting out of the shower in my shorts:

Making Progress

Since the furniture we originally thought we were going to get is still not available and the store said they don't know when or if it will be available again we shopped for something else.

Here is what the crib looks like:


It converts to a toddler bed:


Here is the same crib converted to a full-size bed:


The dresser:


The changer:


We should have these in 7-14 days. YEAH!!! The best part is that the dresser and changer come already assembled. Raul will only need to put the crib together, which he says he can do in 30 minutes. Time for the video camera to come out.

We are just going to have to get bedding ready and add some extras to make it a homey little room.

Hiccups

My poor little baby. He has developed a case of hiccups two nights in a row. In some ways it's funny and I laugh then I sit back and wonder if they hurt after a while like they do when we have hiccups. At least we can just drink a glass of water or hold our breath. What can he do? Nothing, but wait them out.

Yesterday's Pre-Natal Appt

Yesterday's pre-natal appt is hopefully not one I have to ever repeat. I now know why I prefer my appts in the moring instead of the end of the day. After waiting for nearly an hour I finally go to see the doctor, the one in the practice I had yet to meet.

They always ask if I have any questions, so I actually had one this time. I wanted to know if there was any way to tell if I was being kicked or punched in the ribs/lungs. He very calmly looked at me than started writting in my chart and said, "There is no way to know that unless we have another ultrasound. So we'll find out in a couple of months if he is positioned correctly or breech." Ummmm, okay....I almost asked if he actually looked at my chart and realized that in a couple of months I will most likely be giving birth!!! I thought the doctors had a way of telling where the little head is. I can't tell what part of his anatomy is moving around.

Joshua's little heartbeat is doing great and I'm measuring on target. But I was crying by the time I made it home and just held onto Raul. No one has been saying I need an ultrasound to determine how he is positioned. Raul keeps reassuring me that Joshua will be where he needs to be ontime. I know he will, but just when I thought I was calm and ready for the big day....I get told something like that and I start feeling scared and unsure of everything all over again.
