10 things tuesday

Saw this on another blog and decided to give it a shot. Things have been stressful lately and I've been trying really hard to stay positive.... key word trying. I'm going to give this a shot and write about 10 things that made me happy recently.

1. Taking Evey for her very first swim lessons, she looks so darn cute in her swim america swimsuit and swim cap.

2. Looking at the picture of the baby's ultrasound, can't explain the joy that brings to my heart.

3. Feeling the baby move after a long night of work, she.... or he normally moves around right before I fall asleep in the morning after a long night at work. I'll be exhausted and when I hit that comfy bed and things are quiet she seems to move around just to remind me of whats important.

4. Seeing Evey get excited to see me today, theres nothing like seeing your child happy to see you, it makes you feel so loved and wanted. Watching them run to you and give you a huge hug is awesome.

5............maybe next tuesday I can come up with more.............................

Big News!

Evey is going to be a big sister! Today marks my 2nd trimester. Carlos and I are expecting at the end of January. The 1st trimester has been a whirlwind, wondering how things will work out with him living so far away, I've been working so much, trying to figure out a way to stay at home for as long as possible, being so darn tired all the time, being nauseated.... I'm ready for a break! The first trimester flew by, I'm hoping the next two are slower, I need more time to prepare. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, Carlos flys in for a week. Its always so nice to have him home. I'm showing a little, haven't gained any weight yet but feel as big as a house. I've got the normal pregnancy issues, indegestion, nausea, extreme fatigue. I know some of it will subside. We have told family and friends as of now, still haven't posted anything on facebook there are some things I need to get in order first. I'm going to tell Evey once I really start showing, I'm sure she will be excited. She loves babies and thinks they are so cute, she is going to be a great big sister. I'm very excited, it seems to be sinking in now. At the same time I'm concerned about the pregnancy. This time around I'm 30 lbs heavier and under a lot more stress. With Evelyn I didn't even THINK about complications, now I worry and hope everything goes well. I'm a little sad I won't get to set up a nursery, I'm still and probably will remain in our one br apt. I didn't get to have one for Evelyn either. I know the baby won't know the difference, but it still makes me sad. I know I will have to make a lot of sacrifices for our baby, they will all be worth it though.
