so much to write...

I have some post that I need to edit before posting. Mostly because I need to add some pics etc. I'm so behind in everything. In this time so many things has happen. Good things though:)

I'm writing in my personal Diary though but I have neglected this blog. It always happen when I'm preggo or with so many visitors (none of that has change so far:)

Highlights since last post til now...

Ian's b-day!! He had a great b-day. We celebrated twice and my Mom, mi sister and my brother came to spend his special day with him, he got tons of toys but his favorite was a spider thing that shoots webs that my sister and her family bought for him.

Hanna's b-day!! she got so many presents. Her favorite present was a Dora's outfit that Grandma and Grandpa sent her. She claims them AS HER FAVORITE CLOTHS!!

Glenn's b-day!! I made his special favorite N.Y cheesecake. He loves it. I hate making it because it takes so much of my time however I always try to make it for his b-day. This year was specially good. His favorite present HIS NEW GRILL!! (it has become also our favorite present for him to have)

Nicky has so many achievements at school. She has participate in different activities. Unfortunately I haven't been able to attend most of them. She is the cutest and always tell me not to worry that even though she would like me to be there she understands that it's hard with my HUGE BELLY and her crazy siblings. It melt my heart because she has such a tender heart. She was chosen to be the bride in her class. Every year the kindergarten celebrate the wedding of the letters Q and U. They get married and now they are always together making words like quilt, quarter etc. Nicky was the letter U and a boy in her class was the letter Q they looked so stinky cute. I asked my friend Celest to back me up with the kids (and borrowed her daughter's dress for Nicky) she has been a great friend since we move here. Always helping. Anyway the activity was fun and all the kids thought that Nicky looked gorgeous. She loved being there to be admire for everybody.

We went to South Padre Island for a family vacation. We invited my little sister Dina and her family to spend the time together. It was great they came. The kids got along so well and if I needed a break (from the sea) I could totally take a nap while Glenn, Beto (my brother in-law ) and Dina (my little sister) watched out for the whole gang:) I have to admitted it is a very decent beach, the kids had a blast and we got out of the routine. It was great. I'm thinking that we might go back once per year. After all it's just 5 hours away from here. Not too bad hu?

After that I went to the doctor to check the glucose and another ultrasound. I gained 11 pounds (in just one month! I know I'm a whale) the baby supposed to be too tall for his time and normal weight for his time too. He is head up so we are praying that he will go head down soon. Otherwise I might have to go through a c-section and I really don't want that.

I'm expecting a friend in 9 days and we are so excited for her visit. After that it will be just to wait 4 more weeks before the baby comes. I'm so excited for his arrival. On despite of the uncomfortable that my pregnancies are and all the challenge that brings being a mom I love it. I was asked yesterday why I kept having kids if I had rough pregnancies. I felt offended of course but I tried to responded politely "It's because we always wanted to have a big family, It's not that I have bad deliveries. It is just that I can't eat all that I want for 9 months. But they are getting better every time. My back hurts so bad and yes I admitted I'm a Coward and I don't like the pain in general, but other than that I love having kids. I wished I could have 6 but I don't think we will have that many. So far we are taking one at the time" of course inside me I was thinking WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?? DON'T YOU HAVE MANNERS?? THERE ARE QUESTION THAT YOU SHOULDN'T MAKE AT ALL?? WHY ARE YOU SO IMPERTINENT?? etc.etc.etc. Yeah I'm trying to avoid the hormones take me as their slave making me be rude...it's a hard thing to do (sight)

On another great new NICKY LOST HER FIRST TOOTH!!! We were so excited. She keeps talking about it. The tooth fairy was very generous leaving $2.25 with some candy under her pillow. She woke me up so early to let me know what the tooth fairy brought for her. She is such a great girl that it's hard not to please her sometimes. She is not perfect and sometimes will throw little tantrum but she is trying to change them recognizing that is wrong and that Mama doesn't like spoil and ungrateful kids.
The same night that she lost her tooth she felt the spirit while Hanna was saying her pray. It was such an special moment. Hanna was repeating after me. When she told Heavenly Father we love him" Nicky felt a weird sensation in her heart and wanted to cry. After the pray she told me with a very surprising voice WOW!! MOM IT WAS SO WEIRD! Then she described what she felt. I explained her it was call the spirit hugging her. That she needed to be aware of those moments because that is how Heavenly Father will help her to find her testimony of the truth. It was such a special moment.

Okay it' s getting late. I guess this will be another unfinished post...
