A definate must have!

Over-protective, you may say...just plain crazy, maybe? Nah...just wanting to keep a close eye on my new baby :) Abner and I came across these really cool baby monitors that I JUST have to have once our new baby comes into this world! It's a camera with night vision and sound, with a portable monitor. I figure that I will surely want to keep my house clean and the quitest place to keep baby will be upstairs in his/her room. This portable baby monitor is perfect! I can cary the hand held monitor with me downstairs, do my chores, and still keep an eye on my sleeping angel! Anyways, just thought I'd share this, what do you think? Yay or nay?

The Beat is On!!!

Congrats were in order today at the ESD as we celebrated the launch of our new website, which Abner had a huge part of!! I am so proud of him, after so many long tiresome hours and many headaches, he has finally finished the website, it's a very nice one at that too! You can check it out at www.esd123.org...

Abner and I were very, extremely excited today!!! We got to hear our baby's heart beat for the first time today! At 164 beats a minute, the Dr. said, and I quote, "...according to an old wives tale, your having a girl!" The good news is that our baby sounded very healthy! The bad news is, I wanted to get an ultra sound done (to see what the sex is) before we went to Mexico, but we just might have to wait till we get back...oh well!! All that matters is that it will be a healthy baby, no matter what the sex may be :) The best news so far, is that I am still feeling great, no nausea, no vomiting...just hungry and sleepy, and I can definately deal with that! Thanks for all your prayers, please, keep them coming!!

Family...what a great thing!!

Family is Great! You never notice how wonderful of a thing it is, until you are in need of something, and there is your family, willing and able to help you out. Not everybody has the priviledge of having a caring family that will be at your every need. I do, and I'm very grateful for it. First and foremost, my immediately family, my husband, he is sooo awesome!! He helps with anything and everything he possibly can so that I am not pushing myself too hard and I dont get tired, thanks honey, I Love you!! Then, there's my parents and brothers and sisters (yes Delma and Mak, this includes you too)...you never really notice until you throw a big party and realize you can't do it on your own. My sister just had a party for her baby girl, and amazingly enough, each of my brothers, my parents, and my husband and I were there to help with whatever she needed, it's so awesome. Just the feeling of knowing that you're not alone! Anyways, here are a couple pictures of this generosity in action and I just had to throw a picture in there of the awesome pinata my sister made with the help of her husband and girls for the party...way to go sis!!!

11 Weeks Today :)

First and foremost...I need to say, I had my first big scare yesterday with my pregnancy. Thank God, everything seems to be going ok. However, just to be on the safe side, I decided to stay home today and get some rest! I spent most of the day yesterday holding back my tears (to not scare anybody, including myself) and praying! Thanks to God, I feel much better and I can't wait till my next appointment on Monday, when we get to hear my baby's hearbeat for the first time!!! I am 11 weeks today...just about three months, hurray!! So, please, continue to pray for baby and us, we would really appreciate it!

So, Sunday afternoon I was off to Chelan for some certification trainings...it was the worst 3 days of my life, I didn't get back till Tuesday afternoon. Why, you ask, was it so horrible?? Because, I had to go with another co-worker, and I slept in a hotel room all by myself, and my husband stayed home...I missed my honeybunch!!! Needless to say, I'm glad to be home! Although the hotel room was very nice as was Chelan (cold, but nice), I missed my Abner horribly :( Here's a pic of the hotel...

Follow ME!!

Ok...so I think this is pretty cool...I get on my blog today, and it tells me that Sandra is "following my blog!!" How cool is that??! So anyways, you should all "follow me," all you have to do is click right above Sandra's little picture, on the right hand side, where it says, follow this blog. Violia! You are now following my blog, and you will be able to be updated on my blog :) Isn't that great! Anyways, have a fantastic Friday!!

How time flies!

Oh my, how fast they grow up!! Seems like just yesterday I was carrying these two little boogers in my arms just minutes after they were born...and now, here they are turning one!! Aiden Xavier, my ever-so-handsome Godson, and Aimee Maelynn, my beautiful niece, are celebrating their birthdays. They both are very very special to me and I hope that my kids are just as gorgeous as they are!! We were able to make it to Aiden's birthday party last Sunday, but unfortanately, we will have to miss Aimee Mae's b/c I have to make a trip to Chelan for work...sorry big Aime, I wish I could be there to help! Maybe next year, huh! Anyways, here are some pictures of these two, enjoy!
