Were having a baby, My baby and me!

This morning I took a pregnancy test, expecting it to be negative. I've taken many in the past couple of months but because I am still nursing I never expected them to come back positive. I started off with a cheap DollarTree one, and a very faint line showed up. I though NO WAY! I have to be seeing things, I thought, so I went into our bedroom and woke Paul up. I asked him to confirm what I was seeing. Sure enough he saw it too. We hugged and got teary eyed. I have never seen him wake up so fast, for those that know Paul you know that he takes a very long time to wake up. He asked me if I had a digital one to take to confirm. We didn't, so he got on his bike and rode off to Albertson's to buy one. He came home a few minutes later with the digital test and a bouquet of roses. I drank some water to recharge and went in to take the second test. Paul distracted me so I wouldn't sit there staring at the test. I went back in a few minutes later, which felt like hours, and sure enough it was positive. :)

We hugged and said oh crap and cried with joy. We are adding another bundle of joy into our family. We are so incredibly excited and feel so blessed and can't wait to meet our little frijol in 9ish months.

Once the news set in we let our siblings know.

10 Months





Language. She is starting to form unrecognizable conversation with her self. she spend all day talking with herself, toys and daddy and I. Its almost like is really thinks she is talking to us. th inflection in her voice varies, the expressions on her face speak for themselves. It wont be long till she is talking to us in a way we can understand her. I cant wait to hear her say Mommy I love you!


Motor Skills. Crawling is now second nature to her. She easily goes from sitting to standing to crawling and back to sitting. She especially loves to run crawl away from mommy, especially when she is doing something she is not supposed to be doing. It wont be long till she is taking her first steps and I get the pleasure of running around after her.



6/19- shoulder shrugs
crawling
6/21 pulled up to standing



Growing up. I don't know where she hides all her food, because this little girl can eat...more than me at times. Everyone around her is always surprised to see how much she eats. Maybe she'll be a professional eater when she grows up? Oh yeah she doesn't like to be fed anymore.

She had her first overnight trip this month, we went up to big bear. Overall it was a very successful trip and we all had a blast. I'm just sad that i forgot to charge the camera. Lucky there was an emergency camera available
She fell asleep on daddy shortly after this picture.
Plotting to steal grandpa's Porsche!



Focus. This one has switched over to me I have to perfect my focus to keep up with her. :)


Activities. Zoo, Disneyland, Cabin, ...

Sleep. Finally Sleeps completely through the night :) 7ish to 7ish.
