39 weeks!

Here I still am... As of Monday, I am 39 weeks! I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far. Last week Thursday, the doctor said I was dialated 2 cm, but nothing's happening. I still feel good and have lots of energy! Getting huge too! Who knows might be tonight or this baby may be a March baby!
My guess was the 18th of Feb, which came and went. Gen said on Gracie's b-day, Val's guess was this past weekend, Papa Joe says this Thursday. Hubby thinks the baby will come next week on the 4th. Leave a comment and tell us what day you think the baby will come and even the gender of the baby :)

Gracie's 2nd Birthday!

Today was Gracie's 2nd birthday! She got to open one of her first present this afternoon. Mommy and Daddy got her a baby stroller. She put her baby in it right away. Later that night, we took her out to Chuck E. Cheese. Needless to say, she was not the best of friends with Mr. Chuck E. When we first got there, she was so excited she jumped out of her carseat when we unbuckled her. Then, when we got inside she was so scared that she wouldn't let go of Daddy, she burried her face in her Daddy's chest. She had fun playing games and riding the rides. Gen made her purse cake too, it was so yummy! Thank you all for the wonderful gifts you blessed her with!

Save me Daddy!

8 Years and counting!

This past weekend was Valentine's Day and also our 8 year anniversary! Praise the Lord, we were able to celebrate outside the hospital! We had some babysitters for a few hours during the day while Niel and I went to Old town Temecula, walked around, and had some Startbucks. Then later that evening we planned to go tothe movies and Red Lobster because our friends blessed us with a gift card. However, I forgot the gift card, but we wanted to see how long the wait was anyway. It ended up being a 1 and a half hour wait, so we scratched the dinner idea because we had such a big lunch (we'll save it for another day). We ended up going to the movies instead. God's been so good and we thank Him for blessing our marriage throughout these eight years!


Now...

And then...

We both put on a little weight huh?!

Surprise Baby Shower

On Wednesday night, the Jr. High leaders and the youth girls threw me a little surprise baby shower. They even made cupcakes. I was really blessed! It's funny because all the youth leaders except one is pregnant too.

37 weeks and My Birthday!

On Monday was 37 weeks of my pregnancy and also the 6th year anniversarry of my 23rd birthday! My sweet husband made me breakfast in bed. The kids saw it and ate about 1/4 of it, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Gen made me a marble cake (my favorite) from scratch. Then Niel took me out to dinner that night. God is good, I had a great birthday!

Jonesa's 1st Birthday!

This weekend my niece celebrated her 1st birthday. True to Filipino tradition, her parents had to throw her a birthday party. The theme was Tinkerbell. She was so cute dresses in her Tinkerbell outfit! As always, when there's a praty there's lots of yummy food. There was so much food left over that we are still enjoying it this week. Lucky for me, no cooking!

Val's Baby Shower

(My favorite pregnancy pix of Val, isn't she so cute?!)

As some of you know, my sister, Val and I are pregnant together. She is due 2 weeks after me, so I decided to throw her a baby shower last weekend before I have my baby :) It was so much fun! I found some new games online. One of my favorites was pin the pacifier on the baby. It was fun to watch the ladies get spun around and try to find the baby's mouth while blindfolded. Oh, and the food was good too! I made her shower cake. I tried to go with the train theme. Gen drew all the banners and did the games too. She was great help!

Orpilla Bed and Breakfast

Last weekend our friends from Okinawa, Lisa and Jeremy, were able to drive down from 29 Palms and stay at the "Orpilla Bed and Breakfast" for a night. We stayed up playing our favorite game, Scattegories. They seemed to like it as much as we did! They were celebrating their anniversary and had a babysitter for the weekend. They got to watch Phantom of the Opera in Hollywood the next night. It was so awesome to have some good friends over for fellowship. Happy Anniversary guys!

Cathy's Baby Shower

My friend Cathy had a surprise Baby Shower a few weeks ago. She really was surprised too because she thought it was a birthday party for one of the kids. We played a few games, had some food, opened gifts, ate some cake, and had a lot of laughs! Please pray for Cathy as she is scheduled for a C-section on Feb. 10th.
