Missing in action...

I suppose that best describes the last couple of weeks! I didn't realize I haven't been here in that long...I miss my bog! I'm finally finding a little energy to write a quick post and share a bit from the last couple weeks, then again it could be from the 48oz of fresh squeezed orange juice I have consumed today!! That would be today's popular pregnancy craving...ice cold yummy OJ!

So I suppose I can begin with my 8 week belly pic since we missed out on that one due to my lovely morning sickness...I must say between 7-9 weeks has been the WORST but thankfully I have a wonderful dr who became my advocate and spoke to my insurance to get the proper medication I need to get through this yuckiness and I am not suffering so much any more! I wish I was sleeping better but I'll take insomnia over morning sickness any day.

Today I am at 9 weeks 2 days but here is my 9 Week belly from Monday...I have definitely popped a bit!!

9 Weeks

4-9 Weeks

This past weekend we started Saturday off with a community Easter egg hunt , tons of kiddos family and friends, it was a blast!!

Then we shared a wonderful 3rd birthday with our niece Paige and all of our Hinch family. We had such a fun time at the bounce house and at Mom and Dads bbq'ing on a sunny Saturday afternoon! I was completely exhausted after lunch that I fell asleep on their new couch in their unfinished house and woke up at 7pm!! They let me sleep for hours and boy did I need it! Naps are a necessity these days not a luxury and not an option, I can't believe how tired I have been!!

Daniel learned he still has a bigger belly than his 8 month pregnant sister!!

Sunday we spent the morning at my dads with my brothers and all their boys. They hunted Easter eggs and blew open an Easter piñata for more candy! Mia found the lucky egg with $5 in it, told her I needed it to feed the baby since he wanted a happy meal! She laughed and then said okay anything for my baby brother...so cute! She's such a giving and loving little girl, definitely the first one to give the shirt off her back to someone in need! I love that about her!! After playing with her cousins we headed out to my moms for Easter dinner before daddy had to go to work. I love my moms cooking, almost as much as my grandma and grandpas, I wish he lived closer and I had gotten more of grandmas recipes before she passed...man us Mexicans can make some yummy food!! I would definitely be a hefalump is I was around them when pregnant, grandpa cooks 24/7 and constantly has food coming out of the kitchen!! Yummm I'm almost drooling thinking about it...

Mothers day is coming up soon...it's always a bittersweet time of year for me as my grandma passed away right before mothers day a few years ago. Mia and I miss her so much and we have weekly talks about her and Mia sees her often in her dreams. I know she is watching over us I just wish she was still here with us, we miss her very much. She and I and she and Mia were very close and we are thankful we got to spend her last few days and even hours and minutes and breaths with her but not a day goes by that we do not think of her and miss her so much. Love you grandma!!

Well next Monday marks TEN WEEKS pregnant!! I can't hardly believe it. I'm so excited to get out of this first trimester and start feeling our little love bug move and wiggle around! That was always one of my favorite parts being pregnant with Mia and experiencing this all with Mia and Daniel this time is so very special!! I can't wait to see both of their eyes when they realize IT REALLY MOVES IN THERE! Right now I think they just think I'm crazy most of the time with all of my hormones and cravings and pregnant forgetfulness!! Next week we also have our next baby appointment!! I'm so excited, dr C said she will try to hear the heartbeat with the doppler but if she can't then they will do another ultrasound! I hope we get an ultrasound and get to see love bug again and see his or her little heart fluttering away and hear it...I think she said its easier to hear on ultrasound than doppler at this stage...guess we'll see!!!
