Can't Breathe!

I finally got a day off from work. I have a lot to do to get ready for this baby!, so much cleaning and organizing and absolutely no energy! I am 35 weeks now and can't wait for this to end. Our baby does not have a name yet! yeah  i know, we're slackers. By the way, I had an ultrasound earlier this week and the baby's head is down in my pelvis, like really down there, no wonder i've been having leg pain and my hips kill! he has a lot of hair, and he has big cheeks, yes the Bernabe cheeks. His heart was great, no skipping beats so we are not worried anymore. I am going to try to deliver this baby naturally, but the Dr. is only giving me until March 13 to do so, if he doesn't come on his own by then, I will have a C-section on friday the 13th! I really do want to experience natural labor, i'm not afraid I just want to get it over with. I am getting so excited for him to come and join our little family. I am still working full time and will probably do so until the end. I really can't complain much about this pregnancy because it is way better than Ryders. Heart burn is a daily thing but again not as bad as the last one. We've all been a little stressed out with my Brother in Law Ron's surgery, he had a tumor around his pancreas and it took 11 hours of surgery to remove it! He is in Intensive Care right now and they are keeping him sedated at least until tomorrow. This is so his body can rest and not work so hard. We are all praying for him and ask everyone to please do so as well. Poor guy he is going to be in a lot of pain when he wakes up. I work at the hospital so I'll be able to visit him during my lunch breaks and hopefully keep him some company since he has to stay for 2 weeks. I hate being in the hospital it is so boring so I feel for him.

Here are some recent pics of us.

it's been a long long time!

well, I am at work, so i'm not going to post everything that has gone on in the past 3 months. I am 33 weeks pregnant and i am doing fine. The baby is having some type of arrhythmia which is the same problem ryder had in the womb but it went away as soon as he was born. The doctor is not concerned and truly i'm not either, I am scheduled for an ultrasound next monday! i have about 6 weeks left until this little one comes along. Believe it or not Marc and I have not sat down to think of names for this baby, and now i'm starting to get stressed out. There is so much to be done but I have no time to do anything with working a full time job, taking care of Ryder and Marc. I am exhausted but hanging in there! My grandma Rita (my mom's mom) came to visit for Christmas, it was so good to see her and my aunt issa and her son Raul. I had not seen them for almost 9 years! it's crazy. I reconnected with them and I feel like I have a closer and better relationship with my grandma. The best part is that she got baptized about 4 or 5 years ago and is going strong. both my aunt and gma have great testimonies of the church and that makes me extremely happy. It was a little hard to spend a lot of time with them because I had to work and my brother and sis in law were in town for the holidays too, so I always felt guilty for not hanging out with them and then not hanging out with my grandma, it was really hard, but hopefully everyone left happy. I will post more pics this week, my sis Elsie is going to help me update my blog. I'm excited. Keep checking my blog don't give up on me!

Halloween

This has been a really fun day so far. All last week I was going crazy trying to find a batman costume for Ryder but they were all expensive and all made for kids 5 and up. I finally got on Ebay on saturday and found one for a toddler and for half the price, $15 with shipping included!, I was so excited and ordered it right away but I wasn't sure I would get it by today. but I got it the following Monday! His costume didn't come with a cape, so I thought I would make him one. I had a lot of help from my mother in law and we worked on it together for a couple of hours last night and it turned out so cute. I dressed up as a physician assistant that used to work at where I work now. nobody liked him and he quit this summer, so I thought it would be fun to dress up as him. He is from the middle east and had dark skin. Check out our pictures, just click on this link

I forgot to post pictures last time I posted, I just posted some on my facebook account, I really don't want to do it again, so check them out on facebook http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1417819&l=99e07&id=543406945

I am 21 weeks along and due March 9, 2009.

I'll try to post more often but can't promise you anything.

lots of stuff

i'm really lazy about this blog thing. well not just lazy, but i seriously have no time for it. We had a busy summer with work and a couple trips to California. We were able to take Ryder to Disneyland and visit Greg and Cory . we were there for a couple of days. Marc sold pest control with a broken leg and he did pretty good. I have been working for Dr. Watkins for a year now and it's been fun. i love my job and the people I work with, specially my sister Leech. We went to mammoth Lakes for our nephews blessing. He is so cute. We didn't bring ryder with us on this trip because we needed some time alone and a break from everyday life. Oh yeah the big news this summer is that i'm pregnant with our 2nd child!! we are very excited. I've been sick for the last 3 months, but the last 2 weeks have been a lot better. We will find out what we are having in 2 weeks. My due date is March 9, 2009. I'm hoping for another boy but don't really care. well i don'tknow when i will blog again. Here are some pictures for your entertainment.

Just like Daddy

Ryder loves everything his daddy likes, he wants to be just like him. He is obsessed with star wars and baseball. It's really cute to see how much he looks up to his dad.

Weekend

I've been having a lot of fridays off this summer, it's been really nice since i can spend some time with Ryder. This last friday was by far the best of the summer. Ryder and I got up early, had breakfast and then met my sister Elsie and her kids at Chuck e Cheese's for lunch. Ryder was so excited, he loves Chuck e cheese. We had pizza and he had a whole slice by himself, this is a miracle since he only eats the pepperoni when we get pizza, I guess he had worked up an appetite.

After that, we came home because I thought he was really tired and wanted to take a nap, he fell asleep in the car but as soon as we got home he woke up and did not want to sleep. Marc came home for lunch and wanted to do something with us. We decided to go swimming at the indoor pool since it's usually less crowded and we also have to keep Ryder out of the sun so his scar (from the surgery) doesn't go dark, we really have to watch for this so it heals and disappears faster. anyway, Ryder had so much fun, he loves playing in the water, he is not afraid of it at all, which is scary because we have to watch him all the time. He even put his head under the water a few times and i thought he would freak out but he was laughing so hard and marc taught him how to plug his nose, it was really cute. After that we went to a chinese buffet, it was really good and Ryder was such a good boy and ate a lot of food. We usually don't take him out to restaurants because he doesn't behave well and we get really frustrated, but this time he was perfect. We came home and showered and got ready to go to the cemetary to see my Grandma's headstone. She didn't have one for 4 years and my dad was finally able to get one for her. it was kind of cool since it was my gma's birthday too. We all brought her flowers and talked about the funny things she used to say. I miss her so much, she was my hero! She was a great example. She was a single mom most of her life and worked so hard. She was the most intelligent person I have ever known, She was a music teacher and knew so many languages including Latin. She was also a dancer, writer, piano player, and artist. She had so many talents, but the most important thing to her were her children and grandchildren, she always put us first. She wrote so many songs, and I know sing those songs to Ryder and he loves them. She was so humble and loved our heavenly father so much.
As you can tell, I miss her very very much. We'll be together again someday. :)

After the cemetery, my sister Leech and her hubby Cam, Marc and I decided to go see a movie, my mom was nice enough to watch Ryder for us. We saw Hancock, i really liked it , it was funny. Saturday Ryder and I woke up early again, and met up with my Mom, my sister Elsie and her kids again and went to the Salt Lake Zoo. it was so hot, but it was really fun.

We got home so late, I was so exhausted. We went to bed early and slept in this morning until 10 am! We felt bad though because we missed church. Well that about summarizes our weekend.

Elsie's cute family and baby Chloe

So I think I need to post some pictures of my sister's cute family. By the way, she had Chloe 4 weeks ago. She was born June 2, 2008 .Here are some pics.

4th of July

This year we camped out in the street so we could watch the parade in the morning. My sister Elsie and her family came along, well actually we came along. It was an interesting experience , people were out til 3 in the morning driving by and screaming and revving their engines. Ryder didn't go to sleep until 2:30 am! we all woke up at 6:30 so everyone got about 4 hours of sleep. The parade was really fun and Ryder really enjoyed it. He wanted join the marching bands he ran out to the street to dance with them, it was really funny. Here are some pictures.

Josh, Ryder, Marc, and Katie

Oh by the way, as you can see, Marc has a walking boot on finally! he can take it off at night and scratch his leg!!
