Memorial Day Weekend

Hope everyone is having a Happy Memorial Day weekend. This is our 11 year anniversary of dating. We don't know the exact date. Didn't do much for it (what else is new). we went up the city to see Michael Soto (Frank and Cris's son) play with his high school band at Pier 39. It was fun, even if we were the uncool parents' friends. We then hung out with Huan, ate dinner and then I got tired, so we went home. i think I was asleep by 11:00...I am exciting.

Today, Mick spent all day at work (still there) and I washed baby clothes (so cute) and adult clothes (not so cute). I also bought new shoes that will fit over my swollen ankle. Yup, that is right, I have reached the swollen part of pregnancy. But I can't get swollen like a normal person. Nope...only my left ankle is swollen. My right one is perfectly fine. I am weird. My one cankle disturbs me.

but enough of gross thoughts. Here are some pics from my trip to DC where I saw Sebastian, Isabelle and Maria

In the picture above, Isabelle and Sebastian barely took their eyes off the cartoons to smile for the pictures


Here, Isabelle is driving the boat while Maria and Sebastian navigate using the North Star. This was at the National Geographic Museum.


Here, they are just cute

Week 30

So, it's been a while. Life...busy...all that. We have had several ultrasounds now. It is still a girl. We make them check every time. things progressing. Our ultrasound last week said she was 2 pounds 14 oz. She is also a heavy sleeper. Ultrasounds are usually at 8:00 am. She doesn't like performing for us that early. She usually sleeps the whole time. This last time, her lips were puckered. very cute.

Saw my sister Maria and her kids in DC a couple of weeks ago. She took photos of my belly...What a difference 10 weeks makes! She told me to upload them. I am very obedient.




I would have preferred her sending pictures of the kids. I am big as a house

My other sister Claudia has some news...maybe she will start a blog and be better at updating than I am (hint hint)

We registered a couple of weeks ago. It was stressful and not fun. Good thing our friends and family have already been incredibly generous and we really don't need much. Otherwise, I may have cried at BabiesRUs. I was completely overwhelmed. Every decision you make has potential of killing your child.

Mick set up the baby room, while I was in DC having fun. Once we get a dresser and wash all the clothes, etc I'll take a picture. The little dresses are too cute, even if Mick hates pink. Plus everyone can see all the cool things we have received so far.

All for now

Jimmie (and baby girl Elena)
