Meditating/Guided Imaginary

August 30, 2012

Lately I've been pretty stressed. Overwhelmed actually with all my random thoughts. I can't help it I'm a worrier and if that isn't bad enough I have no patience. I've noticed that I can't stop thinking about returning to school this fall semester (which by the way started this week) while in the second/third trimester...

Dear Baby,

August 20, 2012

It has been an interesting, busy, and full of emotions weekend. All last week we prepped for the gender reveal party. Came Friday I was happy as a bee to see your little face and know that you were growing big and healthy like you should despite the fact that I don't look five months pregnant at all. Lots of changes...

Espaguetis Dominicano (Spaghetti)

August 9, 2012

This has been my favorite meal to eat during this pregnancy. I remember eating it as a child and loving it. In fact I remember making this as one of my very first meals at the age of 7. Yes 7 years old. I also remember being hungry and boiling the spaghetti, draining it, then adding margarine, mixing it around and voila...

Nursery Ideas

August 4, 2012

For weeks now I've spent most of my free time searching the web for ideas as to what I want the nursery to be. I kind of had an idea in my head but wasn't really sure of what I really wanted. Then after seeing so many nurseries I got overwhelm. How was I suppose to decide on a theme? A color? A crib design? There are so...

First Flutters

August 4, 2012

All that right there is baby. Right below  my belly button is super hard.  For the past 2 weeks I've felt like there's been some kind of movement happening. Although I've been a bit unsure because they haven't been that strong. One thing that I know for sure is that if not "feeling pregnant" yet...
