HAPPY BIRTHDAY NALDO!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NALDY!!!!

Today is my Naldo's birthday so I figured I would write a little blurb about him. I am without a doubt one of the luckiest ladies ever because I have the bestest husband ever! I think being the youngest of eight left me pretty spoiled and i generally had someone to take care of me, and with Naldo being the oldest in his family I think he took on that role, and I'm so lucky to have someone that loves me and takes care of me as much as Rey does. The Marine Corps tended to be pretty selfish and wanted to be his number one and took him away from me a lot, but I could always tell he tried his hardest to make me his number one, even if I did give him crap about it every so often. When Rey was on both of his deployments I was always getting letters and phone calls, and often times he would give up sleep just to talk to me, and I'm pretty sure of all the girlfriends and wives that I was friends with on facebook and in real life I received more phone calls and letters. It's the things like that that let me know he loves me and cares and makes me realize how stinkin lucky i am! Plus, everybody that knows me knows how in love with Disneyland I am, and Rey was the bestest husband ever and took me on our honeymoon there, got me a season pass, and eventually got himself a season pass. Even though he grew to love Disneyland as much as me after awhile it wouldn't have been his first choice at the beginning but he is such an awesome and selfless person that he did it just for me!

As pretty much everybody knows by now I'm pregnant with our first child and I'm so happy and excited that Rey and I get to experience this all together, and baby Seeley is going to be one lucky baby because Rey is going to be an amazing father! I can tell that Rey loves his little guy already and even though I tease him about it I really do find it cute that he's already talking about taking Seeley fishing and hunting. They are definitely going to be bestest buds and I can't wait to see them together! I have to say, I think my favorite thing right now is how worried Rey is about getting him socks. Every time we go baby shopping Rey keeps saying we need to get Seeley some socks because his feet are going to be cold. Once again it's the little things like that, that let me know Rey is going to be such an amazing dad and is going to take care of Seeley just like he takes care of me.

I just want to wish my Naldy a happy birthday one more time and say thank you for all that you do for me and little Seeley! We love you so much and I can't wait to start our little family and continue to see where life takes us!

baby's got the moves like jagger

can i jus say how much i love feeling seeley's kicks and movements? seriously there is no better feeling in the world! the first time i really started to feel his movements was around 18 weeks. they were really soft, and honestly i can't really even describe what it felt like. as much as i loved feeling him move, i really couldn't wait for rey to be able to feel it with me. slowly i'd be able to feel his kicks getting stronger and stronger, and finally around 22-23 weeks i had my hand on my stomach and i felt the movements and kicks from the outside. i got so excited and tried to have rey feel, but he didn't feel anything. however, the next night he was moving around a ton and i had rey feel and he got to feel him move a couple of times. he was so excited and i think that has been my favorite part of this pregnancy so far. as much as i love hearing his heartbeat and being able to see ultrasounds and finding out his sex, it was such an awesome feeling for both me and rey to experience his movements, which made it feel all that more real. now days he moves around a TON! the time i feel the most movements is at night when i'm laying in bed. it could be just because i'm laying down and not doing much so i'm able to concentrate on it, but i love laying down and putting my hand on my belly and feeling all of his little movements.

other than that there isn't much else going on. our next big project is working on seeley's room. we already have his bedding picked out which is winnie the pooh, and the next thing we are planning on doing is painting, and then we will buy his crib. at this point we have a ton of baby clothes and really just need to organize everything. so really once we get his room all painted i feel as though we'll be able to organize his room completely. 

anywho i think that is it for now!!

Seeley Update and Goodbye Susie

Things for me for me are going pretty well. Once again all my life consists of is working and chilling out and relaxing so I'll have enough energy for the next day that I work. I'm actually pretty excited for and hoping that I do get in that nesting stage. I feel like I have a lot of stuff I need to get done before baby Seeley gets here, but I just don't have the energy for it. As for Seeley he is doing great! At my last doctor's appointment we of course got to hear his little heartbeat, and the doctor measured my stomach and I was measuring perfectly. I keep seeing pictures of pregnant ladies, since I have four friends who I keep seeing posting pictures of their baby belly pictures and we are all within a couple of weeks of each other and I swear their bellies all seem to be bigger than mine, but I guess I'm measuring normal so I should probably stop worrying about it. So my next appointment is on the 28th, and I have to do that Glucose test and I gotta say, I'm not all that excited for it, but I'll at least get to hear his little heartbeat again so I figure it will all be worth it!

Well, the other day my parents had to put down my childhood dog, Susie. Two days before she was acting normal, but then the next day she was really slow, and stumbled. Then the next day she was way worse and was having trouble breathing. I feel really bad because I knew my parents were going to take her to the vet and I knew there was a chance that she was going to be put to sleep but I'm already an emotional pregnant mess so I didn't go in and say goodbye or anything and now I just feel really really sad about it. I guess at the vet they were going to do tests but she just kept getting worse and worse and the vet said that she probably wasn't going to make it so they suggested they put her down so my parents did. I'm glad she is out of pain and this is for the best since as I got older I didn't spend much time with her and she spent most of her days in the backyard alone with our other dog Mojo. Actually it all just makes me feel even worse since I don't even think she knows that I loved her and it just makes me feel horrible. Well, that's enough about that because at the moment I'm sitting here crying so I guess that is it!
