So I realized I had intended to start blogging last year, and never followed through! My previous blog is my personal story on facesofloss.com it is about my angel, and I remember finding it therapeutic after I had written it. Since I am thousands of miles away from those I love most (except my amazing hubby and pretty mocha girl) I thought it would be a good idea to start blogging about what's going on in my world for those who don't know!
Anyone reading this should know we are happily pregnant again! It's such an exciting time in our lives, as well as scary. Even though I have faith, I still have my fears which is normal, especially now entering my 3rd Trimester, my impeding induction excites and scares the hell out of me all at once! I had an amazing dream the other night about being in the hospital and holding my son and staring into his eyes. It was so realistic and I couldn't stop thinking about it, especially his eyes, I think because I never got to see Bella's eyes so I always wonder what they looked like.
Friday we had an ultrasound, and got some 3D images, it was the first time we have seen his features, and just as I knew he is extremely handsome and looks so much like his daddy! He was being so stubborn and would not move his hands from his face, so we only got a few clear images. I think we should name him Eric Jr. he is a stubborn Italian just like his father! But he's cute so he can get away with it!!
He is measuring 9 days ahead which is good since I will be getting an early induction don't want him to be too tiny, but I also don't want him to be huge, and I pray he keeps those hands away from his face for my sake lol
I feel like October is so far, yet so close at the same time. I can't wait, I feel like I still have a million things to do but I know it will all get done in time! I'm glad we have the nursery in progress, before I got pregnant again I thought that I wouldn't want to buy anything until after he was born, I am so happy I thought wrong. While there is always a cynical voice in the back of my head......it's waaayy in the back and I'm focused on the positives! I can't wait to see some of our family who is going to come down to visit! My mother-in-law "Nannie" will be here for the birth, if she has it her way she will lock the doctor out and deliver him herself lol (She is a labor and delivery nurse and just slightly baby obsessed) then shortly after my Mom will be making her first plane trip in at least 30 years all to come see her grandson....now that is huge!! She has crazy claustrophobia and will be drugged up.....good luck to my sister for traveling with her!!!
Well, that's it for now, most of my blogs are going to be about pregnancy and baby things FYI so if that bores you than don't read!!
