Maui 2011

 Our trip to Maui was amazing! The weather was great too compared to Texas heat! The only thing that was missing was Ram. Wish he could have gone with me and my family, but we can always go again. :) Here are some of the pics I took with my iPhone. There were plenty more I took with my new Olympus PEN....I just have not uploaded them yet.

26 weeks today!

Baby Jack has started to kick and punch his mama all the time now. He doesn't like showing off to anybody just yet, but he sure is beating me up from the inside. I catch myself yelling at my tummy for him to stop. I do it a lot at work and my co-worker, Jessica, looks at me funny. Sometimes I don't even realize it. :) Ram has felt him though and it's cute to see his face light up and get excited when his baby boy starts to move. For that second, the joy I see in his eyes makes my day. He's going to get a lot more attention from the girls too (ggrrrr...lol). I hope they know I am the ONLY girl in their lives though!

Shower Planning is in Session

It is June and months back I had planned on having two showers in July and one in August. So guess what that means....Busy, Busy, Busy!

So far two are a-go! There is still one that we have not discussed yet so I guess we will wait and see. I am so excited about my first theme and colors. I am also so blessed to have friends that are willing and wanting to throw a baby shower for me! :) Love them.

I am already trying to think of what I will wear! lol.

On a sad note, Ram leaves tomorrow =(  This is going to be a hard month and a half because we will probably see each other for a total of 10-15 days....I'm going to miss him so much, but it is a great opportunity for him. I love you, babe!

June? Already?

There is so much to do before the arrival of our baby and before we move into our house. There are little nic-nacs here and there that need to be done, but I just don't know where to get started. My brain is running at 100 mph and it won't slow down. I need to pack up my life and transfer it over to the next chapter in my life, still need to get things before Hawaii, baby shower planning has arrived, I need to get systems installed in the house....so on and so forth! I just feel a tad bit overwhelmed right now that I just don't want to do anything. I go home and I know I have a lot to do, but instead I lay in bed and sleep if I can. I guess I am trying to avoid everything as much as I can. =) I'll get to it eventually.

I go to another doctor visit tomorrow. Nothing special I don't think. I do need to tell them that it hurts when I yawn. I am not real sure if that is normal, but it does hurt from time to time and since I don't know what it could mean I have to let them know.


Baby Jack has been kicking pretty often now. I wish I could explain the feeling, but to know that is our baby in there growing is pretty amazing. I look at my sonogram pictures and I can't stop smiling. My mommy friends were right...there is nothing like being a mother. No greater feeling. I haven't even held my baby yet and I already am in love.
