Baby Garcia

I finally got to "meet" my baby yesterday, along with my awesome, sweet doctor!

When she did the ultrasound, the baby was wiggling around like crazy - stretching its legs, waving its arms, and dancing around. It also kept putting its hands by it's face, and there's one picture where it looks like it's sucking its thumb. This picture is by far my favorite because it looks like its hand is waving, and you can see the facial features really well....it has a cute little pointy nose, and I told Jacques it's already got his big lips. It's all so much more real now that I've seen my baby and I know it's okay, moving around, is healthy, and has a strong heartbeat. The doctor said that I'm as far along as I thought I was, so I'll be 13 weeks on Sunday.

I'm so in love with this little person already. <3

Baby!

Tomorrow is my first appointment with my doctor!
I'm so excited to meet her (a couple people at work go to her, too, and say she's incredible!), and I can't wait to hear my little bean's heartbeat. I know I'm going to cry. Hell, just thinking about it today has made me get all choked up.
I'm bummed that Jacques won't be able to come (he got the mother effing H1N1), and bummed I've basically got to stay away from home/him as much as possible the next couple days.

I hope everything is going well with the baby. I know this whole thing will be so much more real once I've heard its heartbeat and (I'm hoping) an ultrasound.

"Vacation"

I'm done posting bummed out entries - I think I was just having a bad week last week and had to get it out.

Denver was fun, but probably THE coldest I've EVER been in my entire life. We had to sit out in the cold for the football game, which was not completely awful but then we went straight from the football game to the baseball game, and that was miserable. It had gotten a lot colder in those few hours and we'd already sat in the cold all day long, so we were already bummed and freezing.

Here's a preview of our pictures... you can tell how bundled up we were. I put even more on after this, too! I'll put more up later, when I don't feel so cruddy.

Millstone

I used to be such a burning example, I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being cared for.
Made sure I showed it to those that I love.
I used to sleep without a single stir,
'Cause I was about my father's work.

Well take me out tonight,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
I'm my own stone around my neck,
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.



I used to pray like God was listening.
I used to make my parents proud.
I was the glue that kept my friends together,
Now they don't talk and we don't go out.
I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed.
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.



Well take me out tonight,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
I'm my own stone around my neck,
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.


Throw me that lifeline,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
I'm my own stone around my neck
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.


"They never hit their brakes..."
"There was no time to see..."
"He just ran out in the street..."
"Does anybody know his name?"
"I think I recognize him..."
"He sure as hell paid for that mistake..."


Woah.


So take me out tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
I'm my own stone around my neck.
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
Well save my life tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
I'm my own stone around my neck
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

A hurricane, a tornado, a forest fire, a falling piano out of a window - wherever she goes, pure disaster surely follows...

This week...

We & the Kilpatricks are leaving for Denver at the end of this week for:

Patriots game

Rockies game

Tailgating, shopping, good food, hopefully hanging out with Jacques' family, and whatever else we decide to do while we're there.

I'm starting to get sick again (need to take a crapload more ginger pills, I guess), so I'm really hoping the plane ride is ok. Traveling and pregnancy are not such a fun combination. I'm really excited for our trip, though.

!!! Also, more good news coming soon... (I need to take a picture first)

Pumpkin

This is going to find a way into my bathrooms very soon.

I would LOVE to try this pumpkin pie scented bath...stuff.

Though, I'd probably be way too tempted to lick myself or something!
