It's a baby .....

Finally we found out what are we having, probably some of you might know by now....but we want to make it official.....

I know it took us a little while to say it, we are excited for having a baby girl!
 We are following Angie and Sander's pattern apparently =)
The ultrasound technician took more than half an hour with me, the baby was a little bit shy and didn't want to move to let us know the gender, first she was bending her knees, second time we tried after moving a little bit she was playing with the umbilical cord, and finally we could barely find out when she was kicking my bladder (nothing fun to me, because it was full) the technician said, it's a GIRL! so we are trusting her because we will have to start getting everything in pink or similar colors, besides some headbands and cute things for girls! 
I was looking for something cute to make for her (even though I didn't make anything cute for Joel - but I will make it up for him too).
 I found this and I wanted to try it...........


Even though I 'm not very crafty or creative as I wish, this is what it came up for our little princess! Hope she fits in the onesy at least for a picture




Thanks to our Heavenly Father, this pregnancy with our little angel has been so far so good. I feel really blessed, I can say that I know I'm pregnant because my belly is growing but besides that, the first trimester was pretty good (part of it didn't know I was pregnant) and this second trimester has been really good (except for two days that I ate something I shouldn't that caused me some heartburn, but that was it).

I haven't shared our story about how we found out we were pregnant,  we were looking for a place to move from our apartment complex and while packing things and getting things ready for the big day, I suddenly wanted to eat peanuts really bad (Mexican style -with some chilli) and I did it a couple times and I was craving them, but I don't usually do that, I'm not a big fan of peanuts and if I eat a peanut butter sandwich it has to have strawberry jam on it as well. So a thought came to my mind that there was something going on....I told Tom that we should get a pregnancy test just for curiosity, and for our surprise it came out positive!!! We scheduled an appointment with the Women's Health Clinic here in Yuma, and the soonest they could get us one was almost a month and a half later, so we sat and waited for that day, because we didn't even know how far we were or anything....that's one of the reasons it has taken us a long time to share this with you all. As today they say we are 25 weeks (I thought we were 20 when I had the ultrasound -that's when they usually schedule it here).
I really miss Dr Erickson and his staff and clinic back in Glendale!  If I complained before about something I take it back, they are the best, even the hospital, we had a good deal being self-pay in both clinic and hospital, we had at least four ultrasounds and a 3D one, with great discounts with the lab. Here I just have one, and the deals are not very good as we thought and I'm a little concerned about the people in the hospital, they are not as nice as in Glendale, if you ask something to the ladies at the front desk they even look at you like why are you bothering me, if that's the case for those ladies that are supposed to be nice because they have to direct/help people I wonder about the nurses (I haven't heard good comments about them or the rest of the staff there) I'm not even thinking about getting the epidural...
But something I know, we have been very blessed and Heavenly Father will be watching over us and the people that will be taking care of us during the big day!
I just will be more positive so more good things will happen to us from now on, even though it hasn't been fun for our budget.
Hopefully next baby or babies are born in a different place than Yuma =D

  1. Congratulations! I know after we had one of each, people (not LDS) kept asking us, "So you're done now, right? Since you have one of each?" I don't know about you two, but we're certainly not done! It will be so fun to see what your little girl will look like! I hope you can find a good doctor that you like, and hopefully your hospital experience will be good!
