33 Weeks

7 more weeks!!! And hopefully they fly by because this kid has gone from late night party sessions to all day partying. His mom is not so pleased.

Thanksgiving and Cowboys

I'm sure many people spent their Thanksgiving holidays surrounded by friends and family, delicious turkey and warm holiday cheer. Well I spent mine at the Cowboys Stadium surrounded by 90,000+ people and eating some delicious...chilli dogs. I know what you all are thinking and the answer is yes, I totally deserve a 'Best wife in the World' award for being 32 weeks pregnant, eating chilli dogs and watching the Cowboys play on Thanksgiving instead of your normal Thanksgiving festivities. Truth be told though, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and apparently so did our beloved Pablo!

While fighting the freezing temperatures wasn't all that great, once we got inside the stadium and sat in our seats this boy ended up having the time of his life. He was kicking like crazy and doing some major acrobatics every time there was loud music playing or major cheering going on. Apparently this boy will be just like his dad...a hardcore Cowboys fan!

SAY CHEESE!!!

Lately I've been really worried about how the baby is doing because I've been having the CRAZIEST dreams...For example, the other night I dreamt my water broke and the water was coming out of my belly button. I know, WEIRD. So to ease my insanity the husband decided we should get a 3D ultrasound done. I really hadn't thought that much about it because we've had lots of opportunities to see this little guy already but when he brought it up, I got REALLY excited and decided this was a brilliant idea.

I'm sooo happy we decided to do this, as strange as the pictures may look to others it was a very magical experience and if nothing else I got to see this little gordito moving around like a real-life-outside-the-womb baby!

As usual Pablito was in his "U" position...I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but we've had sonograms at 12 wks, 20 wks, and the last one was at 23 wks for a minor check. In every sonogram we've had for this kid he has ALWAYS had his legs over his head and he's been in the "U" position. Sure enough, like clockwork, at this 31 wk sonogram he ONCE AGAIN had his legs above his head and unfortunately his little foot was covering his face for the majority of the picture-taking. I'm thinking he is starting to think this is real funny and I'm hoping he won't try and come out in his infamous "U" position because mommy will NOT appreciate that very much.

That being said, I hope y'all can identify his beautiful little face, foot and all. The best picture BY FAR is the where we caught him rubbing his eyes. Precious...enjoy!

30 Weeks

Today the baby and I had our 30 week appt. with the Dr. and she let us know that everything is coming along according to plan and that she'll see me in 2 weeks for my next appt. I walked over to the hospital afterwards just to make sure I was pre-registered and decided to take a tour of the maternity ward while I was there. Sure enough I got butterflies in my stomach (or maybe the baby was just kicking REALLY hard) because that is where I'll be delivering our son. It's pretty hard to imagine this journey is coming near an end in only 10 short weeks, it seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant and now I'm taking classes on breathing exercises and washing baby clothes!

Next up will be my last and final shower in El Paso and this punk's last opportunity to rack up those gifts he so desperately loves. All of this mad work and crazy-busy lifestyle is starting to wind down at a perfect time because I'm starting to feel the exhaustion kicking back in. With the amount of space this gordito is taking up in me and all the last minute items I really hope I make it to the full 40 weeks!
