Whoa. 30 weeks

What the heck?

I'm 30 freaking weeks. This pregnancy has been SO much easier than the first.

"How" you ask? Let me tell you

Estela: Sick till 18 weeks

This baby: Sick till 8 and 1/2 isn weeks


Estela: 8 cavities and a HORRIBLE receding gum.

This baby: 2 cavities (guys I brush 2-3 times a day with an electric toothbrush and Floss every stinkin' day. I just have bad teeth ok??!?!?!)


Estela: Ate top ramen a least 2 times a week.

This baby: Eating fresh raw green beans like they are candy.


Estela: She had hiccups at least 3 times a day

This baby: hiccups every few days.


I'm SO glad that the first trimester is WAY over and I never want to see a taco bell for the rest of my life. (I accidentally ate a crunch wrap supreme every day one week after rehearsal)


Estela loves her baby brother SO much. She loves to feel him move and kisses my belly. She is always talking about how he will sleep in her bed when he is born.

I won't lie. I am starting to feel overwhelmed about having two children. I REALLY like having one kid. Will I really be able to survive a Wisconsin winter with a brand new baby and a little kid?


on a less serious note... I dressed up like a cow for free food. And then went to target right after to get groceries. I'm sure people were thinking... "does she know this isn't walmart?"


We leave to visit Dans Parents in the dominican republic in a couple weeks and I am SO excited! It's such a special place for me! Dan proposed to me there and we were able to spend our 2 year anniversary there as well. Now we can celebrate our 4th this next month there too!

4 years of marriage is kind of a big deal for me. I'm pretty crazy so that's cool that I found the perfect life partner to want to stick with me for 4 years. I like him a lot.

Cheers to 4 years of marriage and (almost) two children. We have only agreed on one name so far for baby boy antivilo. I totally cried at the ultrasound when I found out it was a boy. They were totally tears of sadness. Then I cried even more because I felt horrible for not being more grateful that I had a perfectly healthy baby!

Being pregnant is INSANE! I also started crying the other day when IZ's "somewhere over the rainbow" came on my pandora station because my heart just ACHES for hawaii. My two year old just kept saying "it's ok mom! You will feel better sweetheart!"

I'm a wreck. And I have the best daughter ever.

So that's what is going on recently. Maybe one day I will be better and consistent with something in my life. At least I'm good at keeping my daughter alive right? 10 points for Gryffindor! Ok I am crazy and need sleep.

Dog (commonly reffered to as Angel)

At my house lives a Dog.  (named "angel") The thing about Dog is... its hair gets EVERYWHERE. On your clothes, furniture, carpet, floor.... everywhere. It's impossible to completely clean the floor because you turn around and there's always more hair there. Talk about annoying/frustrating/messy. Reasons to not have a dog... they smell, you have to pick up their poop, they shed, you have to bathe them, you have to take them on walks, they bark... loud, you have to feed them, they shed , they lick you after they lick heaven knows what else, and a bunch more reasons. Reasons to have a dog.....                                .   .   . Basically a dog is kind of like a baby that never learns how to talk, or grows spiritually and emotionally, and learns how to feed themselves and use a toilet and become independent. And they look nothing like you.

The day I had a baby

Brace yourselves... This is going to be a long one. About 4 weeks before my due date, a friend from church gave me a book about hypnobirthing. If you are planning to give birth naturally, I suggest not trying to cram what would take 9 months to learn into 4 weeks. The book was wonderful. It talks about how birth is a natural, sacred, and beautiful thing. If you are ready to give birth and aren't afraid, there should be no pain. After reading it, I was 100% sure my birth would be a pain free, natural birth. Yeah, my sister and mother said labor was awful but they just don't have as high of a pain tolerance like I did.... Ha. What a silly thought. We had taken a tour of the hospital and my birth plan was all done. We were ready for this baby to come. I had watched dozens of birth videos and cried during every single one. I made Dan watch at least 3 with me so he would be prepared and not pass out for the birth of our daughter. A week before my due date, February 3rd, I wa

Levitation

Sooooo yeah. I know. It's been what... 5 months? I guess being married is kind of a time sucker. But only in the best of ways. Oh yeah... Did I mention? I got married! And I am LOVING it! It's exactly like a roller coaster. There are highs and lows and all sorts of fun twists and turns. There are parts that make you want to puke and others that make you scream with excitement. It looks a little scary at first, but once you get on, you never want it to stop! I'll post some pictures of our wedding later. We had an AMAZING photographer and the pictures turned out great! Yesterday my husband told me about this new type of photography where people look like they are Levitating/flying. Wait... flying ? Seriously? Count me IN ! So now we are a little bit obsessed with it. Yeah no big deal... levitating when I study music history
