The little bambino!


WOW!! 9 weeks! it seems like it's already taken a long time to get here. Looking at what is inside my belly looks like the beginning of an actual baby!! Wow!! its so AMAZING! little hands, and starting to get the little feet that will be kicking me soon! I can see a little ear, and eyes forming...God is such a genius!
here is info from the best site in the world: Baby Center-
How your baby's growing: Your new resident is nearly an inch long — barely the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce, but he's poised for rapid weight gain now that his basic physical structure is in place. He's also starting to look more and more human. His embryonic "tail" is now completely gone and his body parts — including organs, muscles, and nerves — are kicking into gear.His eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. He has earlobes, and by week's end, the inner workings of his ears will be complete. His upper lip is fully formed, too, and his mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The tips of his fingers are slightly enlarged where his touch pads are developing. All major joints — his shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles — are working, enabling your baby to move his limbs. As for his heart, it has divided into four chambers now, and the valves have started to develop. External sex organs are there, but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.

No more excuses!


So the Dr. has strict orders for the "right foods"....
There are no more excuses since I have now been to the Dr. and he has told me all the rules!!

Lupe is already being a "Food Nazi" and is keeping me in check. I really want Chick Fil A- chicken sandwich with polynesian sauce and some waffle fries...... but, I have been told by the dr. that there is nothing for me at fast food places, so don't even go there. :(

I can see it!!


Ok- look on the picture and there is a little black sack with white inside (towards the top on the upper left side). So in that black sack (it looks like 2 bubbles in it) is the baby "bean" and it's attached to the yolk sack....I will attach a pic. from baby center on what you are actually looking at!!

it was very exciting to get that confirmation and to see a little flutter of a heartbeat!!!

what am I doing???


ok, so I have such funny moments like the other day in the shower I washed my face with my conditioner.....oh my goodness, Im losing it!!!

so lupe will hand me something to bring in the car when we go somewhere, and when we get half down the road I ask him where it is and he just looks at me so irritated!! i leave it behind.....I mean Im doing good to remember putting on my shoes and bringing my purse- so he shouldn't give me anything to try and remember!!!

I was already not so good at remembering anything, so now Im hopeless!! I hope the small piece of my brain that I once had returns after the tadpole gets here!!

I love our home! It's so nice to come home and have a parking space every day, it's fun to cook in my new kitchen, and fun to water the yard!

It's not fun to have so much construction around, and hear nail guns at 6:30am on saturdays and to get nails in your tires from driving down your street!!!

Our street is growing so fast we will have about 7 neighbors in a couple of months, and so it will be sad not to see all the greenery, but exciting to meet new people........
I hope they are as cool as we are!! hahah

Oh the Nursery!


We have decided on the theme! Its called Froggy Tales by Lambs & Ivy!! It's something neutral for either boy or girl!!

Things are going well except for the tiredness! I wake up tired......even if I go to bed at 8:30pm!!! Im blessed not to have the sickness that some of my friends have had, but the tiredness is hard to make it thru the work day!!!! Especially with 18 - 5yr. olds!!!

My My My


Wow, it really hit me on Sunday.......SLEEP Deprivation!
I have always heard how pregnant ladies are tired, but my goodness
I could have stayed in bed all day on sunday and everyday since then!
Now granted it could be from that huge storm we had the other night that kept me up, or that pesky cat that lives in our house who likes to wake us up because he is hungry!!
But, all in all I am TIRED!!!!
I wish kindergarten still had nap time......

Developing!


Ok, so baby center said this is the 4 week picture- WOW!!!
I cant believe that this is what is going on inside my body. How amazingly awesome! God sure is a genius. I can't stay off babycenter.com
Its a great site and I put in the due date and it gives me a day by day of symptoms and things that are going on. One day I will be hearing a cute voice call me mommy, because right now all I hear are not so cute voices saying Mrs. Silva, Mrs. Silva, Mrs. Silva!!! aaaahhhhh!!

I like this picture for today because I have really noticed how much I can smell now!! I have super sense of smell!!! When I walk down the 1st grade hall my nose is bombarded with a strange smell coming from the bi-lingual class. It is strong whatever it is and not in the good way!!!
Whew!!!

The first REAL day!


I told ONE person here at work....that is HUGE for me!!! Im usually such a blabber mouth!! It is my team leader and she was VERY excited!! So far it has been so nice to hear how excited everyone gets when they hear the news!! I was afraid I would loose my lunch when my team starting talking about eggs while I was eating. They were eating cafeteria food, and the menu was "breakfast for lunch" so there were these odd looking scrambled eggs that looked disgusting on the plate across from me. It took all my energy to keep my eyes on the wall behind her, because I didn't want to be too obvious and have everyone realize my little precious secret!!

Is that positive??



Just found out on Oct. 9th at around 5:30pm. I was by myself and was so excited but had no one to celebrate with!! So I waited for Lupe to call and couldn't wait to tell him in person so I told him on the phone. He thought I was kidding, but trying to speak thru my tears let him know how serious I was!! Wow!! I feel like it's the night before Christmas, and I can't imagine that I will be getting any sleep or work done from here on out!!!
