5 pounds 13 ounces!

Well, we got to see Baby Leonardo yesterday! I am 36 2 days (today) and I can say I feel great! I never get tired of seeing this baby through the Ultra Sound. He was so squeezed in my belly! We weren't able to get a good face shot of him, he kept putting his hands on his face! What I did asked was to make sure he was still a boy. I had a nightmare last week that they told me Oh by the way, its a girl, we were never sure it was a boy and I was mad and screaming at everyone asking what am I gona do with a blue nursery! So that stayed on my mind. I told her please find his pipi! She did found balls though lol big ones! but pipi was covered bu his hand. He was just covering himself, he hated to be exposed and moved around so much!

We had another baby shower about 2 weeks ago. It was amazing! I got so many things that were needed. My sis in law did a great job! Now, Leo's room looks like a mess! I will organize it this weekend. Last weekend we went to BRU to buy the swing and high chair and then sunday it was a beautiful day and we spent it on the boat, so this weekend will be!

I still can't believe baby will be here soon! My mom told me she will come March 17 and will leave April 21. I am so excited!!! We also went to the academy were we will leave the baby when i come back to work. Its EXPENSIVE but I loved the place and I know he will be safe and having fun there with other babies.

I want to blink and have him here with me. I am scared, soo scared of the unkown. I dont know how he will be, sleep, eat, caca, everything! What I am not scared of is that I will love him so much!

Ok i will post soon when I get near the date! I will post pics of my belly too! :-)

31 Weeks Today 63 more days to go!

Well, its been a while since I write something. I must say I've been completely lazy! I have to take naps during my lunch hour in order to survive the rest of the day. But today I decided to skip the nap and write something.

I went to Puerto Rico Dec 12? I think, anyways my friends and family threw me a baby shower. I had sooo much fun with them. I miss them very much. It was so hot! I think I melt over there, it was insane. I had quality time with my parents, I wish they were closer, I am so bonded with them. And i will stop writing about them cause I will start crying....such a wimp lately!

We had a wonderful Christmas..it was just me and my husband...and it was perfect! We saw Leonardo Dec 23, he is so handsome! We were speechless of how gorgeous he is. That was our best xmas present! I dont have any more placenta previa, it moved up! YAY!

Then New years was great too! Leo moves soooo much! its crazy and I love staring at my belly and see it getting deformed by his movements. I love to feel him, if there are a couple of hours that I don't I freak out! I just miss him when he doesnt move, its a great joy to put my hand on my belly and play with him.

I also was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, grrrr So I've been limited in the food I can eat, which sucks big time! I lost 5 pounds over the weekend! damn diet. But i still eat chocolate and carbs in a VERY moderate way.

We started with the Childbirh classes! and boy do I like em! I just love this experience, I never knew how amazing this feels.

I want to write a letter to my mom, to tell her I never understood how much she loved me until now.

I am also a crying mess! I never cry! i am a cold stone! and now since I am pregnant it comes in a daily basis. Example, last night watching the bachelor, yea i cried. I see a picture that makes me sad, yep I cry. I see and elderly, I cry too and the list go on and on!

Can't wait to have Leo home, I will have a 2nd shower Feb 6 with friends here. I am excited about that one too! and then after that its just countdown, Leo will be here anytime!!!!!!!!! I love him so much...can't wait to meet him.

6 months

Heya!!

So here I am at 6 months, I can't recognize myself! Between my nose, cheeks, MOUTH!, neck, cankles, arms and everything else.. I can't find the Nina I know. All I see is swollen face! haha!

Leo has been moving so much! He is karate kid! His daddy was able to feel him too and that was awesome!

My boobs leaked the other day, I was like..."whaaaat!" my husband ran from the room cause it was too much for him to take. He is funny, he believes he gets all my symptoms, the sympathy symptoms, and expect for me to feel sorry for him! Yea right.

We spent thanksgiving at my sister in law's with his parents. I was sooo sick! Had sinus infection, again! How many times would I get that? grrr Hopefully no more cause it makes me feel like death!

We bought the paint and organized Leo's future room. It's very exciting to know our son will occupy that room soon. It wont be the cats room any longer, but Leo's hehe.

I will go to Puerto Rico this weekend and I am looking forward to it. I miss my friends and family so much. It is not the same when you dont have them around to share this experience with.

105 more days to go! WOW, time is flying by!!! I just hope this belly doesnt grow as much as I am suspecting. I am so swollen! i cant take it anymore! ugh... but its all worth it at the end.

I wanted to give a quick update of whats going on. I will post soon! We get to see baby Leo again on Dec 23, what a great xmas gift that will be for us, so pics will come soon!!!!

BOY? or..........GIRL?

Sorry I haven't posted before, besides being busy I've been LAZY! hahaha

So Oct 29 Vic and I went to the Doc, I was so nervous and sooo anxious! I was almost biting my acrylic nails out of my skin! lol I was happy excited, teary, every emotion possible I had.
I even had nausea! But finally the day to know came.

So we sat in that big chair and the tech asked "Do you guys wana know" we almost screamed YES! So there we are, we will finally know what we are having.

All this time I "knew" thought it was a girl, ive been having dreams it was a girl, my belly was growing side ways like a girl belly should be, and I had my mind set it was a girl!

So she put the jelly on and I was shaking, so nervous! Then she put the stick on my belly and at that second! I see a huge sac! And I say are those balls? and she said Its a boy! !!!!



WHAT? EXCUSE ME? ARE YOU SURE? I couldn't even process this, a second ago I was thinking "this jelly feels so good and warm on my tummy" and then PUM! there he was showing his goods! I started crying, from emotion a bit disappointed. Ok, more in shock than disappointed cause all this time I thought I was having a baby girl.

My husband's face was amazing, and he hold my hand and tear up a bit, that made me feel at peace, even though he never told me what we wanted, I knew he would've loved his boy, and I was happy I made him happy.


So here I am, carrying a BOY, it took me a while to start creating this image of a little boy running around, all I was thinking was pink, but I am so happy! I am proud to be carrying the boy that will carry his daddy's last name. I still cant believe I am pregnant! I've been feeling him kicking since week 18 and every time I have a kick, it brings a big smile in my face.

I've also had my cankles attacking me! Damn you cankles! Every bit of salt have goes straight to my ankles. GRRR

My belly is not huge yet, I am scared when it will decide to explode! AGHHHH, i feel like a whale already, I can't imagine later! I am also a crying mess! HELLO! I never imagined I was able to produce so many tears! really? I cry for everything and I can't control it. I am not a crier so my husband and friends look at me like I am crazy. lol




I did my registry, that was a mess! I hate that place. Too much to think. I will be going to PR for my 1st baby shower in Dec, I am so excited to see my friends and family. Then another shower here in Feb.

Leonardo (yes that is his name!) will be here in March, and I can't wait to meet him. I feel like a different person. I read and talk to him every night (unless I pass out) Vic is so happy to have his baby boy and I am so happy we are expanding this family. I feel so blessed and lucky to have the things I have. Thank You God for this blessings.

4 months!!!!

Heya! I know I've been MIA! but I had to travel to NJ for work, and came back with a bad Sinus Infection! grr, Ive been sick for over a week! I feel much better today but I know I am not 100% recovered!

My NJ trip was unique. I've never been in a city that will stink and will make me gauge as much as Edison, Newark did! OMG stinky place, yuck!

The hotel, their sheets were like rice paper, their air conditioner wouldn't go lower than 67, and trust me, it didn't felt like 67! I sweated every night! Then the food, ay ay ay, not the best at all!

The only good thing about my trip was that I got to see my auntie! We haven't seen each other in over 20 years! And as soon as I saw her and she saw me all we could do was hug and cry. It felt like not even 1 year passed by. I got to meet also my cousin, she was a late oops! lol We chatted for almost 2 hours. And I cherished every moment. She was adopted and moved from PR to NJ many years ago, last time she visited was when I was 12. After that the economy was so hard for her that she couldn't come, she also has 3 other kids. She visited my mom 4 years ago but I was in Fort Lauderdale and I couldn't take off work, but we saw each other through my mom's webcam! Either way I loved seeing her and I hope we can see each other soon.

I came back on a Monday and I felt like crap! nose, head, throat! I thought I was getting the flu, next day I couldnt even think straight, my head wanted to explode and I couldn't breath at all through my nose, went to the Doc and yep, Sinus infection. Great! ugh, I haven't been this sick in 2 years! I will take the flu shot this weekend just in case! I dont want any more stuffy nose!

Talking about stuffy nose, since I got pregnant my nose is bloody and stuffy! Every time I blow my nose chunks of blood, TMI but that's how it is! Doc told me it was normal for pregnant woman, geez! My nose is literally worst than Michael Jackson's; it is falling into pieces!

So today I am 4 months pregnant! HELL TO THE YES! I went to the baby Doc last thursday and heart beat was 156! I have a feeling its a girl! They will tell us on Oct 29, I can't wait to know!

We went to Babies r us over the weekend. MY GOSH! that was frustrating! so much SH&T that you need for the baby! I have no clue what to get and what not to get, so I opened a registry and put a lot of crap there, I'll decide later what to take off, and I will come back as soon as I know the gender of the baby.

Belly has gotten bigger, I got to put a pic! I took pics this morning but didn't had time to download them. I am less hungry too, I now eat my breakfast lunch and dinner. I dont feel the starving sensation I felt the 1st trimester.

What else? Oh I will go to PR to see my friends and family! YEEEHAAW!!!!!!! Dec 11, I will book my ticket Friday. I can't wait to see my best friends. Those girls are the bomb! and I am so grateful to have them in my life, they are my angels, always looking out for me. They will make me a baby shower, so I can't wait to see what they will do.

I will be back as soon as I know the Gender, and I promise I will put pics!!! Gota go, I think I've written enough! hahahahah

ADIOS!

Nuchal Test

So on Tuesday Sept 15 I went to get my Nuchal Test done. I was soo anxious for this test and was so excited to see how much the baby has grown. I didn't know what to expect, or how the baby will look like. I thought we will see a baby there, just there.

Oh was sooo wrong!!! As soon as she put the thing on my stomach that baby was waving at us! I had tears coming down my eyes and I couldn't believe a baby this small would have such a big personality! My husband and I were in total shock!



We were there for about 40 minutes and the baby wouldn't stop moving! It was amazing how much we felt the baby bonded with us, see the big nose and big mouth! hahah little legs, little arms, huge beer belly! I mean, for us he/she is PERFECT!



I couldn't imagine I would love something that is not here yet. I mean its here but not here, just inside my belly. I couldn't imagine that I would feel all this emotion for a little 3 inch baby that is laying in peace inside my tummy.

Oh and I think I felt it moving today! I felt some weird bubbles exploiting inside! Probably I am over reacting but it was a weird feeling!!!!!

I've been so worried about money, ugh! This has me in total stress. But I know we will be ok. I know that!

In the meantime I keep dreaming for that day to come, the day I can hold you in my arms and kiss you and tell you face to face how much I love you.

Belly is out!

Yep that is my belly growing by the minute! 12 weeks. Can it be any bigger? Sleeping is not comfortable! I just wanted to update with belly pic. See ya later!
