Ooo-la-la

I love this picture of our little girl. Her Auntie Nawni calls this her "ooo-la-la" pose. And every time I see it, I think of that now.
She's already photogenic!

We have another one of her with one arm above her head and she looks like she's doing her exercises and singing a long to Olivia Newton John's song, "Let's Get Physical!"

Isn't she cute?? : ) : )

25 weeks.

Once I get over the hump of this week I will allow myself to say I am officially on the "homestretch." For some reason 14 weeks to go sounds so much shorter than 15. Fifteen feels like 30 in my mind. Today was my repeat ultrasound. When we went for our last ultrasound she was moving so much and there were 2 things that they weren't able to measure. So I went back today to get them measured. Which was wonderful getting to see her again. Chad's on the road and this was the first appointment he wasn't able to to attend. We talked the entire way and I emailed pictures to him immediately!

Our daughter (wow, that's weird to say!) is weighing in right under 2 pounds. And she is already head down and waiting for her exit. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen for at least another 14 weeks! She got a clean bill of health today. Abby went with me and I was so thankful she did. It was wonderful to have her support. (Thanks Abs!) We got a couple cute pictures and I swear she is smiling in one! Even the ultrasound tech said, "You have one photogenic baby!" To which my mother would say, "Do you know who her grandmother is?!!??" : )

We are almost prepared with everything we need. Chad's parents bought us her pack n play and of course, I had to set it up immediately. Now I don't know how to take it a part so I'm waiting on Chad to get back!

25 weeks and 25 random things...

The baby belly at 25 weeks.

So apparently all the craze is writing 25 random things about yourself on Facebook. I gave up Facebook for most of February. I was getting a little too obsessed reading it all the time. So I thought I would start my 25 things on here.
Here goes...hopefully I can come up with 25 things.

1. I only buy lottery tickets if the jackpot is over $100 million

2. I'm sad because I can't fit into most of my jeans unless they are unbuttoned and unzipped.

3. I have bigger boobs than I've ever had in my life right now and I HATE them. I realize this is probably too much information. But I don't care! : ) It's one of the random things that came to my mind! And as my Aunt B would say, it's my blog! : )

4. I wear a tank top under everything, everyday.

5. I don't like being outside that much and having that "outside" smell when you come in.

6. When my husband is on the road, I'm practically a hermit.

7. I have to put comfy clothes on the moment I walk in the door. pregnant or not pregnant

8. My 3 little sisters are still, by far, the greatest girls I know.

9. I'm having a daughter in 14 weeks and she's name-less.

10. I put chapstick on before I go to bed every night.

11. I sleep with a little green squishy pillow, an eye mask, and a fan on.

12. I watched my baby sister Kolby come into the world and that ranks up there as one of the most defining moments in my life

13. I think my husband is one of the most talented, humble people I know.

14. I blame my temper on being hispanic.

15. I put lotion on my belly at least 3 times a day to hopefully prevent stretch marks, even though I know they are hereditary.

16. Hot yoga has been my greatest financial investment in the last year. Sadly, being pregnant, it's the first thing to go. Can't wait to go back.

17. I have a scar on my left hand where a family member put out his cigarette thinking there was an ashtray but it was my hand. I was 6 and still remember it. He was very apologetic!

18. My new years resolutions were to make my bed everyday and never have dishes in the sink overnight. So far, so good...well, kind of...

19. My daughter's closet is full, and arranged according to size and type of clothing and everything is all on hangers. She has the only walk in closet in the house and by the looks of it, she needs it. Her room is also complete (thanks to Aunt Tiff!!) and now we just wait! : )

20. I read blogs like crazy.

21. I love Samoa girl scout cookies and have yet to track down a box.

22. I rub my feet together to fall asleep.

23. If I could wear my black, Juicy Couture, track suit, and Ugg's everyday, I think I would. Although, I think this is all I've been wearing for the past month...so i guess that's not that random.

24. I love the ice at Sonic. I've been to several asking for bags of it, but I can't find a sonic that sells it that way!

25. I love to sleep in. My friends know not to contact me before 10:30. : )
