For The Love Of Sweet Potatoes!!!

Great news Andrea is now 4 months old (as of nov 22) so since she's been doing so well after being introduced to oatmeal cereal last month i decided it was time.. so like the crazy first time mommy that i am i bought some sweet potatoes and made her first home made solid !! she absolutely loved it :) of course we documented it and took pics of mommy and daddy taking turns feeding her!! It was so great to be able to experience the excitement on our little girl's face as she marks another first in her beautiful life!!
as always she continues to bring so much joy to our lives. God Bless you andrea.. mommy and daddy love you more than words!

the weekend and week ahead

This past weekend was nice... Gustavo was at a motorcycle course all day saturday and all day sunday.. so i dropped off andrea with my parents and headed to chop off my hair lol LITERALLY!!! it was a nice change :) i definitely needed it since my hair is falling out everywhere!! anyway then i headed to get some shopping done... kmart, kohls, carters!! after that my good friend adriana met me and we sat and talked for a couple of hours.. it was the first time we've hung out childless... it was a nice change of pace and i think we both needed the break... from there gustavo came home and we went to my parents to p/u andrea ... we hung out there for a couple of hours.. played with our neice bella who was there as well and had dinner with my parents.. it was a lot of fun.

Sunday gustavo had an early day at the course so i stayed in bed and snuggled with andrea for like 4 hours lol!! i loved every second of it.. i really enjoy that so much just being with her ... near her... watching her sleep .. and feeling her snuggled close to mommy!! then i went back to my parents house.. had lunch with them and spent some more time playing with andrea and bella.. they wanted to keep the baby again for a few hours so i left her with them and went to see new moon with my wonderful hubby!!

IT WAS AMAZING!!!! i loved every second of the movie... i'm team edward alllll the way lol... i'm going to read eclipse this week :)

On another note i CANNOT believe thanksgiving is in three days... its crazy... i'm so excited.. we're going to spend thanksgiving with the family and then gustavo andrea and i are headed to georgia with my parents to spend the rest of the weekend there :) i'm looking forward to dressing andrea in all her winter gear :) she's going to look so cute. anyway i'm looking forward to a great week ahead filled with quality family time :)

Andrea's Dedication

Hello there!!
This weekend was jam packed with family fun!!!
Saturday my dad made me my favorite spaghetti dinner!!! i'd been begging him for a year and he finally gave in lol!! it was great.. my sister brought my neices and nephew with her and of course we had the baby with us... it was a really nice time. we ate talked, watched cartoons of course, and played!! we were all pooped by the time we came home... then sunday was Andrea's church dedication... it was beautiful and i of course got emotional.... i was just so proud of our beautiful little blessing... i looked at her and realized that this was just one out of the many moments to come that i would feel such an immense amount of pride for my beautiful daughter!! God has blessed us in a tremendous way and i feel it everytime i look at her. God is so great and he is able if you just seek and trust in him... also i was driving to work today and i realized that when we are obedient God really shows up and blesses us in amazing ways!! After the dedication the family came back to our aparment and we had lunch and cake!! it was a really great time spent with beautiful family :)

Today...

Hello there!!!
This weekend was definitely a trying one lol!!! luckily God has blessed me with a patient husband :) like i said in my previous post my hormones are doing a number on me and this weekend was definitely a prime example of that!! i'm trying to get everything under control but it's not as easy as one would imagine.. on another note i'll be heading to the dr on thursday to hopefully take care of this issue!!!

Andrea:
I've started spoon feeding her oatmeal cereal and she seems to be adjusting to that pretty well, she's still trying desperately to roll over, and last night we discovered that she has a new favorite cartoon: Handy Manny!!!
She's too cute when she lights up as she watches it :)

Work:
is going really well... we're in the process of diversifying and bringing in some new equipment which is great!! I'm staying super busy!!

Life:
is driving me crazy and im a little stressed lately... really in need of vacation but we'll possibly be going to georgia for thanksgiving which is good news!! I cant believe that i just got back to reality and i'm already at this point!!! Yuff!!!!

Halloween 2009

Hello there!!!
Andrea's first halloween as well as ours as a family of three was A SUCCESS!!! it really was a lot of fun... She was a strawberry and we were supposed to be the farmers that pick the strawberry so as to stay within a theme... however we ended up more like cowboy and girl with a strawberry hahaha!! but it was still a lot of fun... we took the baby for some pics during the day and then we went to my aunts house with my oldest neice natalie for a mini halloween party ... it was mainly for the kids but all the adults dressed up so that made for a good time!! I've been sick for the past week... i think i picked something up when we took andrea to the E.R. last sunday so i've been desperately fighting it... because of that today i stayed in bed all day pretty much trying to recoop since this week is probably gonna be another brutal one for me... i'll be working verrrry long days since this is our busiest time of the month hands down... of course that extra hour was a huge help for us although andreas internal clock still went off at the same time this morning which coincidentally became 5 am instead of 6am but we'll get back on track...

Andrea:
has been trying desperately to roll over for the past few weeks... we thought she was going to pull it through today ... close but not quite there yet!! so we shall see what the next few weeks has in store for my little one... i started giving her cereal... and am trying to introduce the baby spoon to her so i can start her on solids within the month.. thats definately exciting...She's so full of energy these days and continues to bring an enormous amount of joy to our lives... Andrea is such a blessing...

Mommy:
Since i've stopped pumping my hormones have been feeling WAY out of control lately... kinda like i'm having a relapse of the baby blues...but late in the game...my moods are extremely erradic im starting to become pretty numb to almost everything and its beginning to really worry Gustavo as well as myself... therefore.. i'm going to be making an appointment with my ob to see what we can do about this... i've tried to give it some time but it seems to be getting worse instead of better.. so we'll see.
besides i have to go see my ob anyway to get on some big girl bc since i was on the mini pills when i was pumping for the baby..

Anyway thats about it for the happenings this weekend... i wish everyone a great week :)
xoxo
