What I've Been Doing

The weather here has been warmer lately, so I busted out my camera and went to the lake on base. Nothing spectacular, but just trying to get more familiar with my new camera.

I also made some curtains. Don't try to find the mistakes people, it's my first true attempt at a sewing project. I'm proud of them. So there!

I've also been continuing to grow a person. He's getting bigger. I know because I'm getting bigger, and he's causing some strife for my back and my ribs.

Sorry if the self-belly portraits aren't that great. It's kinda difficult to take pictures of your own stomach. (You try!)

People are beginning to have no doubts that I'm pregnant also. And by people, I mean strangers. I went to the mall just to get out and do something, and I had several glances. Kinda funny when someone glances at you and looks down. I've had that happen before, (not often tho!) and it's usually a male person and he's looking at my chest. Or was trying to. Except, now, both sexes look down, and they go past my chest. To my big fat stomach. However, people are more courteous, too. When I was walking into the mall, a man went way out of his way to open the door for me. That's kinda nice. : )

P.S. I'm 24 weeks and 4 days in the pics.

Roman's Video Debut 2

I should mention that many of Roman's pictures are blurry because he didn't want to cooperate and be still. In fact, he kept putting his hand in front of his face like he was a celebrity being chased by the papparazzi. He has no idea, just wait til he's here!! Mwahahahahahaha

Roman's Video Debut

Time to Wake Up!

I was very excited for today, knowing that I was going to be able to see the baby in 3-D, and see him moving around (which I was given a DVD of). However, Roman was apparently excited too. This morning I had a dream that Fernando was home and excited to feel my belly. We were at a friend's or something ( I just know that there were people around, and it wasn't our house) and then he started jabbing me in my belly. I told him to stop, and he wouldn't, and I was getting really mad at him telling him to STOP POKING ME. Finally, I woke up, because THE BABY was kicking me in my side (right under my ribs) and it was hard enough to wake me up. AT SIX in the AM! LOL.

Anyway, Dr. said that he looks very healthy and is weighing (probably) at just over a pound. I've gained a whopping 13lbs so far. No wonder my back is killing me. I'm going to try and see if I can get video of it up on here, but it may not work. I dunno. Until then here's Roman :

Hi!!

Mr Crazy Eyes

p.s. I think he's going to look a lot like his papa!

Baby Shower Pt 2 (pt1 see Below)

While I was home in Ca for the Holidays, some great friends threw (and attended!) a baby shower for me. It was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful shower.

My belly at 18 weeks (I think)

Also, in case we haven't told you or haven't picked up, we're having a boy, and his name is going to be Roman Mateo. Tee hee

Baby shower and more

Hostesses: Jeanette, Sandy and Louanne

Keep updating? What??

Okay, so I know it's been waaaay too long since I've even updated this thing. Or really told anyone about it. I think I just haven't been feeling creative enough or maybe I've just been too lazy. Anyway, I was supposed to have my 3-D ultrasound yesterday, but the Dr's office called and said that the machine was down. So now we wait until Monday. Anyway, I thought I'd post some pictures of my belly (I think the first ones were at like 8-9 weeks, hello bloat!) and again this week. (21 Weeks). I know I'm still not all that big, but my back is already complaining a lot to me. So I went to Walmart today and bought a body pillow. I've heard it's supposed to help. I just don't want the awful back labor. Please, no thank you!!!
