I would like to share a few blogs that I have already written leading up to my decision to host my blogs on here. I started writing a few things here and there on Myspace, but I wanted something a little more permanent that I can go back to later and one day show Hannah. I might even decide to print them out and give them to her at some point.
HERE IT GOES....

Hannah turned 14 weeks old yesterday. We are the parents of a 3 month old! What Happened?!? She is growing by leaps and bounds already. The other night I was putting her to bed and realized she wasn't my little newborn anymore! Her little legs were dangling in my arms as I carried her off to bed, while I kissed her little forehead and thanked God for this wonderful gift. My mom walked by the room and told me that you could see how much I love her. Her exact words were, "Se ve cuanto la amas, mi amor." Those words echoed in my head for a long time after that because the love that I have for her is unimaginable. Parents out there understand what I am talking about.
It's still tough for me to leave her every morning as I go to work. She has only been in daycare for a couple of weeks and we are still trying to get a routine down, but everyday is a new adventure. You can see that the bond between Hannah and Brian is growing as they ride off to work/daycare together everyday. They will have so much fun together as she gets older!
Both our parents have been such a huge support! They love her so much! How could they not, have you seen that adorable face?!? Hannah is blessed with the love of 2 Grandpa's, 3 Grandma's, 3 Aunts (one who is still afraid of wrinkly baby feet, hehe), and 4 uncles!
I can't wait to see what the future holds! I hope you all will be along for the ride!
LOVE YOU!

So with the very near arrival of our baby girl, I have been thinking a lot about the journey. I’m only 25, and Brian is about to turn 26, and we are about to be parents. The other day we were laughing and talking about our childhoods and even high school. Where did it all go? Life happened! We wouldn’t change anything in our lives for the world, but sometimes we wish things would slow down.
My advice to all you young people still in high school & college: DON’T GROW UP SO FAST! You’ll have plenty of time to work and earn the big bucks, be independent, and be on your own. Cherish the times you have now! You’ll never get it back.
One of the songs that I’ve been listening to a lot lately is STOP THIS TRAIN by JOHN MAYER. It is pretty relevant to the stage that we are in our lives right now. Check it out....
No, I’m not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can’t sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can
But honestly, won’t someone stop this train?
Don’t know how else to say it
Don’t want to see my parents go
One generation’s length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can
But honestly, won’t someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I’m only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate"
"Don’t stop this train
Don’t for a minute change the place you’re in
And don’t think I couldn’t ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we’ll never stop this train"
Once in awhile, when it’s good
It’ll feel like it should
And they’re all still around
And you’re still safe and sound
And you don’t miss a thing
Till you cry when you’re driving away in the dark
Singing Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I’ll never stop this train

Today I am exactly 23 weeks pregnant! We had another ultrasound today and she is apparently a stubborn little thing and will not cooperate with the doctor! She absolutely cannot be mine... Yeah right!
So much has happened since the last post. I have been feeling her kick and move around so much. Even Brian has been able to put his hand on my belly, and she will give him a WHACK! It's so exciting! She's actually kicking me now, maybe she doesn't like me talking about her.
Other changes that I am going through include the ever growing belly! Man, this thing really slows me down. Some of you who know me, may or may not have noticed that I am a fast walker. It doesn't matter if I am in a hurry or not, I have never been one to stroll. But now, I feel like a turtle making her way through the mall, grocery store, anywhere! I try to walk at my fast pace only to be reminded that I can't keep up. The same thing goes for doing things around the house. I tend to over do it sometimes, and I just get worn out.
I really miss my sis! Brian misses her too, but he is more vocal about it. I just tend to get bummed out when exciting milestones happen, and I cannot share it with her. I am proud of her for striving for that degree, but I am a selfish pregnant lady that wants her sis! So if you are reading this fruity, We love you and miss you.
On the other hand, I am grateful for the many other friends and family members that are in our lives and are able to share all this with us. We love you and appreciate your support!
That's all for now, I'm sure Brian will got in here soon to share his own thoughts and experiences on this huge milestone in our lives.

I haven't written in a long time. Needless to say that we have been pretty preoccupied. In fact, I am not really one to let everyone know my business, especially online. I used to say that you can find out a person's whole life story by looking on their MySpace page. I will make the exception only because I wanted to share this experience with my friends and family.Right now I am feeling so overwhelmed! I am overwhelmed with love, anxiety, humility, fear, thankfulness, and joy, all at the same time. My heart feels like it is going to jump out of my chest! You might want to blame it on the hormones, but I'd like to think that it is so much more than that. Brian is at work, doing OT on a Saturday, and this is the first time in a long time that I have had just to myself. The house is empty, Oreo's napping, and I am just thinking about everything that is to come, parenthood!Many of you know the struggles that Brian and I had in order to have a baby. I am finally pregnant and it is unbelievable! I am still going through a lot to ensure that this baby is healthy and develops as it should, but nevertheless, I feel extremely humbled to know that God finally thought we were ready. We had faith that it would happen when it was the right time, but it still was not easy to swallow. The path that Brian and I took to get here has made us stronger, and it helped us to learn so many new things about each other. We saw how strong the other person could be in times of trouble, hurt, anger and disappointment. I think we really surprised each other!Life is so unpredictable, no matter how structured and planned it try to make it.Lance and I were talking a few weeks ago, and he pointed out that 4 or 5 years ago in college, we would have never thought we would be here. Most of us married, buying houses, having babies! Boy have our priorities changed. At graduation we had the whole world ahead of us, and none of us knew what was coming! I am blessed to still be close to you most of my friends from back then, and be able to share these great experiences.I'll stop here before I write too much. I would just like to thank our friends and families for your support and prayers. Don't Stop!
So these are the blogs that will no longer exist on Myspace, and I begin with something new HERE!
