These are a few of my favorite things!

I am in the process of reorganizing my house in preparation for Emma's arrival. I am taking a break from the tiring, and hard work. During this break I thought I would list a few of my favorite things... As I say that I am think of the movie "The sound of Music".

1. Reading

This is one of my most favorite things to do. Even as a teenager I would bring a stack of books on vacation. I would even read them all. Back then I read Sweet Valley High books, or those R.L. Stine books. Now my taste has matured. I actually read different genres all the time. I would stay up all night reading if I could handle the exhaustion during the day!

2. Internet

This is my achillies heel! This is also why I don't read as much during the day! From Myspace, to Cafemom, to Pogo I could be on the computer for hours on end. I trully need to pull myself away from the computer in order to get things done. I will browse post after post on Cafemom and before I know an hour had gone by. Those who know me know that I would rather email and now blog instead of talking on the phone. There is another form of communication that I love, but that is for my number 3 favorite thing!

3. My cellphone

Everyone knows that I am obsessed with current cell phones. Well my most current is the iphone! I stood in line for 3 hours the day they came out, because I just HAD to have one! I absolutely love my phone. Sadly yes I there are many others I would love to try, but I am stuck with my contract for another year before I can upgrade. Now within my cell phone I love text messaging. I spend all day texting my hubby while he is at work. I was really excited when my mom learned how to, but she decided to get rid of it and save money. My phone has personalized ringtones from my fave songs, and those who I talk to most have thier own ringtone for when they call. I know I am not as bad as most out there, but I am not an average cell phone person.

This post is dedicated to the materialisic things I cannot do without. The list could go on and on, but as the title states these are just a FEW of my favorite things! OOps there goes my phone... the hubby has texted me back!!! Peace Out!!

Fifth Month doctors appointment

Today was my fifth month doctors appointment. Emma is growing on schedule! My blood test came back negative and her ultrasound came back perfect also! I don't know why but I am always so anxious and then I hear her heart beat and I calm down. I wish I had one of those heartbeat monitors so I could check it all the time. Right now that is one of my most favorite sounds. After my next appointment I will be going in every other week. Some days it feels like this pregnancy is taking forever, but before I know it, it will be August and my little Emma will be here!

My aunt offered her house for my baby shower. I am so greatful, because she has a lot of room in her house! I cannot wait till July 20th (Angela picked the date)!

Friday will begin my sixth month. I hope May goes by fast. May 30th I will be heading to Sacramento to see The Phantom of the Opera... my BIL and his boyfriend are treating my MIL and myself!! I am so excited and also nervous. For those who know me know that I HATE flying. I will definately have my ipod and reading material!

Emma rocking out!

I know for a fact that soon my blogging will slow down... With Angela at grandma and grandpa's I have a lot of free time on my hands (not totally true, but I just want to tell myself that).

Emma, I think as gotten to the stage in her development where she can hear sounds. While on the computer I turned on iTunes and decided to listen to Michael Buble (LOVE HIM!). When the music started Emma started moving around like crazy! I guess she loves him too! I am more aware of the development going on this pregnancy. With Angela I was working part-time and going to school full-time. With not being as busy all I can think about is this baby and how anxious I am for August to be here!

Alone on a Friday night!

I know I have already posted today, but I am here at home all alone on a Friday night! Right now I am watching one of my all time fave movies:

I don't own it so I am watching the one have I have recorded on my DVR. It sucks, because all lot of the good parts are left out UGH!

I have also been playing a computer game called Diner dash Flo on the Go. This game is so addicting. I making myself crazy trying to pass level 40. I have let a couple people in on the game so far, and they too have fallen victim to the addiction of it.

I am reading the book The Other Boelyn Girl. Such a great book so far! I am only a quarter of the way in and need to get through it soon. I am part of a book club and I haven't started the book for April, which I guess I could be doing as I type this blog. HAHA

So, Angela is at my in laws. Emma is staying put in my womb and moving around like a monkey. I am hungry and craving El Pollo Loco, but do not want to risk my great parking spot to get it. Parking sucks at this apartment complex. DH gets off at 10pm tonight. Poor guy has been working all kinds of overtime, so that I don't have to go back to work when the school year starts again. Maybe I will have me some Spaghetti Oh's (for some reason they sound SO good this pregnancy). Well I guess I will go make my Spaghetti O's and read my book. Bon Appetit!!

Introductions First

Angela Theresa

Angela is my oldest princess. She is 7 years old. From the day she was born she has figured how to push the limits. She has a lot of energy! I wish she would share, but instead she likes to drain mine! She is in the second grade and struggling more than she has in the previous grades. I try to help, but she is stubborn and loves doing it all on her own! She may have her moments, but man can she make this mommy laugh! She has a way of helping you forget your stresses. She is also very observant and will pretend to be asleep in the car just so she can hear what mommy and daddy say. An example of this is the night Eric and I found out we were having another baby. We were in the car with my sister and didn't want Angela to find out till I went to the doctors the next morning. We thought she was asleep and told my sister the news. As soon as the words left my lips her eyes opened and she perked right up and said, "Mommy your pregnant?" We have finally realized we are not safe anymore. She is also a little mommy wanting to know EVERYTHING that goes on! She will take my cell phone and read my texts from her daddy, just in case we are keeping secrets. She learns something everyday and I love the fact that she keeps me on my toes!

Emma Constance

Emma is already showing us that nothing comes easy. My pregnancy with Angela was uneventful, not Emma! I have had morning sickness, and all the aches and pains a pregnant woman can endure. Even finding out the sex was a battle! My first ultrasound showed that she was hiding behind my placenta. I thought my second one was going to be better! It started out that way. She was in perfect position and we were able to see her stomach, bladder, and heart. When the tech went to check the "sex area" we got a perfect, clear picture of knees tightly closed together. After that ultrasound I was starting to see neutral colors in my future. After talking my deares husband into it, he finally agreed to pay for a gender check ultrasound at a privately owned ultrasound place (not sure what the technical name for it is). In preparation I drank my one and only caffienated soda for this pregnancy, a yummy Mr. Pibb. After some coaxing the tech was finally able to get a great shot that proved "It's a girl"! We are very excited! I am now hoping for the remainder of this pregnancy to be unevenful. I have been to the ER twice already and am ready for some smooth sailing. August 15, 2008 can't come any faster!

My Husband Eric

Eric is my one constant rock! He is my first love and my soul mate! We have been married for 8 years now and the ride just gets better and better! He is a great father and exhibits the most patience I have ever seen! He is such a supportive husband and father! I love the fact that he is my manly man, but still has that softer side! I do not know what I would do without this man. It is sometimes weird to think that I have been with this man since I was 17 years old, and still fall in love with him each day! How could I not love him since he has given me my 2 princess!!
