I've had a rough period of time, I’ve cried a lot and my life was sooo miserable, if I didn’t have this little miracle inside of me I don’t know what would have been of my life. Yes, I know the hormones had a lot to do with everything but I was indeed going through bad times. I guess was life, destiny, or God that came one day into my life on mid-July and open my eyes. I was taking care of myself taking vitamins and everything but I was so miserable. I had a minor kidney infection that I was treating with medication. One day I woke up hurting badly, I went to work anyway, came back home almost crawling. My mom took me to a different doctor to treat me. It was the best thing to do. It all worked out fine, baby was fine, I was fine and my mom and I started building a close friendship.

I was so alone that the tiniest demonstration of love made me cry. I had to realize that my baby was suffering with me, even if I spoke nicely and sang, and talk to him/her.

I started feeling the baby move at the beginning of week 17 but I did not have anybody to tell. My morning sickness diminished enormously by week 16 came back on the 18 and then went away again. Sometimes I still throw up I guess when baby doesn’t like what I’m having for lunch...LOL but it so much less that it doesn’t bother me.

(me being so skiny @16 & 17 weeks)

I lost so much weight due to the vomiting and the suffering. Luckily, my baby was perfect. I am 20 weeks already and I’m not even showing that much even people that know cant notice. By now, the rumor has spread at work and almost everybody knows I am pregnant but most do not ask, and the rest don’t believe. The baby really moves now, I could see him at my 3rd u/s and just moved mo much, doesn’t like to be bothered! I have a clip where he/she’s opening and closing his/her mouth and moving his/her hands… I cry just to think about it, my baby is so alive! I’m so in love with my baby it the entire reason for my existence.

Mommy's new hair! The bump at 20wks

At the 16wk scan they told me ...ITS A BOY! YEAH i was so exited..... then at the 20wk scan the doc was like CONGRATULATIONS ITS A GIRL! ....mmmm welll, i guess baby hasnt made up its mind yet! I guess I'll wait a little while to get a 3D and see the gender, and the cutenessssss mmm such a mommy' baby!

August 08 2007I can swear yesterday my belly just popped out! I swear! I cant hide it anymore, its there and its big and its hard and it no longer fits in my pants, I knew it had to happen at some point but from one day to another? OMG im freaking out! LOL Two days ago (like on monday 06) I felt the baby move above my belly button, this was big for me because all the action had happened below or at belly button level, then i felt it again and again, and now this... form one day to the other I swear below my tiny boobs is all belly and movement now. Baby is no longer shy and just invaded the rest of me...LOL

Here is my baby having a bite!

August 16, 2007Hi everybody, we're doing well. Baby is moving too much lately, I've been thinking it might be because of the Cola, I feel so guilty but I cant do anything about it, Ive heard its bad to drink Coke while preg. I honestly dont even like Coke, but ohh my baby does,(dads fault!) Sometimes I just sit there smelling the can of Coke (OMG I wonder how ridiculous I look) I try to have the less possible, but I just crave it so much I wonder if it’s because of that that the babe jumps up and down all day long. Im also thinking I feel it more because well, the baby is growing but my belly doesnt seem to be that big, although everyone knows now, even if I wanted to hide it now i can happily say the belly popped LOL is out there, baby wont hide anymore, im glad, love the attention and love people rubbing my belly, hate the questions but love the belly-rub. Sometimes I still get morning sickness but nothing compares to the first trimester ( I still wonder why I didnt die) I've heard of worst cases though so Im glad we did well. I was at my desk (cube) and my explaining something to my co-worker and I started smiling because the baby was moving so much, it happens like all day long but its not so easy to ignore sometimes, he looked at me and then at my belly, i told him the baby was moving so he looked and saw the bump bump LOL like four times, his eyes were wide open, he was working with this preg lady for five months (until she had the baby) and he had never seen that, I wonder how the babe will be out of me, just moving and fussing all the time, hope its just the moving LOL (dont we all) Some people still think im just getting fat, but next week i promise Ill buy maternity and start looking mommy-like I cant wait till i go shopping! I already want to know if I will be having a little Nicolas or a little Andrea. I think is the girl though. I will be happy no matter what.

Baby baby, you are going to be such a great athlete like mommy, Ill take you to play soccer with me and we will kick some good butts! Yeah! I know you will be able to handle the ball specially with your head, thats what i think you hit me with most of the time. Oh and you know what? you will be a great dancer, like mommy LOL I love you so much, and plese quit it with the Coke ok,is not good for you, and plese eat the veggies please! no throwing up! I want you to be healthy and beautiful (or handsome) ohh and next week you behave during the 3D mommy will buy you lots of stuff ok, if you dont you will be stuck with white yellow and green if thats what you want ok. I send you lots of kisses (hope I could reach) lets eat our PB&J and apple (and flan) now!

Well yeah, It looks as if I take too long to update, but in reality is time going by faster. I remember it used to feel like the day would never come and now I’ve finally jumped into the 3rd trimester.

Things are great (Thanks God) I don’t have morning sickness, I don’t have pains, no swollen feet, no stretch marks, not been sleep deprived (just yet) nothing that I could complain about. I’m getting big pretty fast, I guess I can say that im catching to everybody else because I used to be so small. Its weird but I haven’t accumulated fat anywhere but my belly, everything else just looks too darn tiny.

Its been like two weeks now since I’ve started eating big time… oh please believe when I say BIG TIME! Food is my world now LoL. Its not that I have cravings all the time I just want everything. Rarely do I crave something bad but it does happen. Its weird now that I think about it but alberto has been helpful on that side, whenever I say I want something we do get it, its not like he’s spoiling me (I think that’s what he wants to avoid) but he just doesn’t say no and does it, I can totally live with that! Sometimes he’s just way too nice that is scary, he brings me stuff that he thinks ill be craving ( I eat them anyway LOL)

Yeah, alberto has been good for the babys sake, I used to have a hard time because he rarely touched my belly I had to almost force him to talk or touch the baby, sometimes I cried because I felt he didn’t care… Now I don’t have to say much I guess is the fact that my belly is finally getting big because he does it by himself, he kisses his “little princess” and talks to her and wants me to lay down or sleep close to him so he can feel her move. Yeah looks like things have changed much.

My mommy loves touching my belly and this little one just never stops. I went to get the 3D /4D ultrasound done, absolutely amazing, that’s when I finally found out I was having a baby girl…. That’s right a baby girl.

She’s a good little baby. I love her so much, I cant understand how that much love can fit in me I know truly appreciate my mother. Yes, will name her andrea. Don’t ask why god just gave me the name. shes so beautiful as you can see she looks like she likes to smile for the pics, just like mommy yay. Apparently she has my forhead and nose which im really glad for, well get to see when she comes out. As long as shes healthy and complete I don’t think there is anything else I could ask God for. Shes a rocking princess already. I love her so very much!
