WE'RE HAVING A BABY!

it's true! we are so excited to finally share our good news with everyone! we still can't really believe it haha and other than being sick and super tired, you wouldn't be able to tell physically. i do get a belly after i eat a big meal and it is definitely growing! i can't button up my jeans anymore! so many changes are happening in our lives but change is good and we can not wait to hold our little babe in our arms. here is a little bumpdate: week 12.

How Far Along? 12 1/2 weeks Weight Gain: not yet Maternity Clothes? i'm going to try and wear my regular clothes for as long as i can, but like i said, i can't button up my jeans anymore! Sleep? ok. i get up to go to the bathroom around 4 a.m and then 8:30 a.m  Best moment this week? hearing the heartbeat and sharing our good news with our family and friends!! Weird pregnancy moment? hormones! Movement: not yet!  Food Cravings: french fries and frozen fruit Anything making you queasy? for the first two months, any smell would get me.  Gender: we won't know till november! What I'm looking forward to: finally getting a cute pregnant belly!

we love this babe so, so much already!

NEW NEPHEW

my sister had her baby in december and we could not love him more! he is the first grandson in my side of the family so you bet he's the center of attention whenever we're together. he is so dang cute and looks exactly like monica when she was a baby. i wish we lived closer to them so i could kiss those cheeks! welcome to the fam, james tomás! we love you!!

those cheeks! that chin!
