Home, Blessed Home!

Wow, didn't realize it's been a MONTH since I've posted anything! I'll try to stay more on top of this, I promise. That is, if anyone still reads this! :) So, we went to Puerto Rico for 10 days and I thought I'd post some pictures from that. We had a nice time, the boys had a blast going to the beach and hiking through jungle-like backyards. Fun times, though I'm very glad to be home. Now the fun part of jet-lag and getting back on California time...

We had another appointment this morning and got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It took the doctor awhile to find it, which is always a little nerve-wracking, but there it was! Josiah and Daniel were with us and Josiah keeps telling everyone that he heard "the baby's feet" this morning! :) I guess "beat" and "feet" rhyme, so I'm thinking that's where that came from. Ha ha!

Daniel was less than impressed and didn't have a clue what was happening.

As you can see from the photo, my stomach is, needless to say, HUGE. I look more like 35 weeks pregnant, not 13. Makes me a little worried....

The other photo (the jungle looking ones) were taken in Cisco's uncle's BACKYARD. Yes, that's right. Talk about amazing!

First Appointment

Okay, so our internet was out of commission for the last 2 weeks! Ugh! But all is well now, so we'll be able to blog again! :) We had our first appointment about the time our internet stopped working. We got to see the baby for about 3 seconds, it was the shortest ultrasound ever! But all looks well so far and at least we saw it was there. We'll hopefully find out what we're having somewhere in the first week of December. There's a new place in Murrieta that does the 4-D ultrasounds for about $50 and they can tell what you're having at 15 weeks!
I've been feeling much better lately, still tired, but the nausea has subsided thank God! I'm sure due to everyone's prayers, I was a little worried about our trip to Puerto Rico and me feeling like I was going to puke the whole time! So, I'm excited about going again, we leave in a little more than week and a half. Can't believe we're going!

Sick

Well, doesn't look like I'll be having another "Daniel" pregnancy. :( The morning sickness has struck, which is actually more like all day and all night sickness. Boo hoo. Looks like I'm actually having a "real" pregnancy this time around!

Apple Picking

We went apple picking today at Oak Glen, an event I wait all year for! It's such a cute place and the kids absolutely love it. The only downside was it was blazing hot and there were way too many people, but we enjoyed ourselves despite that. Josiah was so cute, he was really into the apple picking. He would look for the "perfect" one before picking it. Daniel, on the other hand, along with his dad and uncle, enjoyed throwing the apples that were on the ground at each other a whole lot more!

So Cute!

This I just had to put on here because it is my favorite picture of them. This was at Brandy's wedding, so they're all dressed up in their tuxes. They were quite the hit, let me tell you. All I heard that whole night was how gorgeous my kids are! :)

Life with boys...

So I just thought I'd share with you all what a typical night in the Gonzalez house looks like. I guess you just learn to hold your breath and pray no one gets hurt! Never a dull moment, that's for sure. The other picture I just snapped really quick while I had both of them there and smiling, and I thought it was funny cause Daniel's hair looked pretty girly. Don't worry, it usually doesn't!! He's got quite the amazing shag though...

1st Appointment

We have our first prenatal appointment set for October 10th. It seems a year away, I don't know why but it feels like I've been pregnant forever already! Maybe because I found out so soon... anyway, really looking forward to it! My due date should be around May 27th - ish, so it's a possibility it may share a birthday with Courtney or Bradley! :)
The hospital here has been building a huge new Maternity/Baby ward, with 27 private rooms. We found out that it should be open around the middle of January so that means I'll be able to deliver in the new hospital! Considering that the hospitals here haven't been known for their great care and most people's delivery experiences have been less than hoped for, this makes me very excited. My experience with Josiah wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't "great" either. Just the fact that I have a higher chance of getting a private room is enough for me!
