FB Announcement and Baby Bump Inspiration

This is how I told my FB friends I am prego.

No matter how hard i try to suck it in, it is still there. I have lost two pounds since I found out I was pregnant. I find it kind of funny because I have tried so hard for the past couple months to lose a little more weight and nothing. This baby making thing proved to be more efficient than anything else. But I won't do a happy dance because I know how easy I pack on the weight when I am pregnant, I am a pro at it.

These are a few pictures I had to pin. I love Pinterest

Just Thinking

I had my first Dr.'s appointment today. She said I am about 8 weeks according to her measurements. In order to be sure, we will do an ultrasound next week on Friday. Yes, we get to see peanut! I have a bunch of lab work to do; glucose test, HIV test for the 3rd time, and like 3 others I don't remember.
 After my appointment and some cleaning around the house I decided I needed a nap. While I was trying to rest on the couch I self induced an anxiety attack. I was thinking way too much.  I started thinking how for the third time I will have to go through the pains of labor. You see, last time I had no meds whatsoever and it HURT. It was fast, but it HURT. And the first time I had some meds but they only made me feel loopy and it still HURT. Sometimes that epidural sounds so tempting. Phillip says he likes to see me in labor because it increases his admiration for me. When he says things like that he makes me feel like a rock star. Ah, back to the pain and discomforts. I was just at peace yesterday, what happened? I blame it on the hormones. 

I don't want this:

But I know I get this after such horrid pain:

Why am I thinking about crazy stuff like labor at this early stage? Don't mind me. I am just a crazy pregnant woman. Good night :)

No.3

Here it goes...
I am pregnant with baby number 3. Now that my mom knows it, the whole rest of the world can know it too. I am at peace. I thought I would respond differently to the news. When I found out, I was just peaceful. Peaceful is really the only word that comes to me. I know things will work out. Heavenly Father always knows better than us . I sat there and made plans, signed up for a marathon and postponed a baby so I could run. And look, the baby (or the news) came a week after I signed up for SBI Marathon. I trust HF. I know I will be able to run a marathon someday. And when I do, I will be awesome (if I don't say so myself nobody will).
I am feeling good. I have energy and not too much morning sickness. I am still able to run 5 days a week and I am keeping up my mileage, I am just running slower. We are going to have 13 members in our Ragnar team instead of 12. We are cheating.
I have my first doctor's appointment tomorrow. We will see how it goes. I hope we can figure out how pregnant I am. I have no idea how far I am.
Anyway, this is my post for today. Have a great day!

My Super Awesome SIL

Kristi I have become close to you. I love you like a sister. And thank you so much for all you do for me. The girls love you because you are so awesome. Here is your late b-day picture.

Gold for México

 

If you know a Mexican, then you must know soccer is big in México. Soccer is one of the only sports we are good at, and I am allowed to say this because I am Mexican.

México took gold today during their match vs. Brazil! 

Viva México! 

It's Official

I am officially registered for the Santa Barbara International Marathon. It takes place during my birthday month. Finishing the race will be my early birthday present. My hands got sweaty as Phil click the "submit" button. But I know I can do it, I can do it. I just pray I don't suffer from any injuries during my training.

November 10th

26.2 miles

And a whole lot of training!

Wish me luck :)

Santa Monica

 This is how we spent our Monday. After an interview at CSUN for the MRI program Phil will be doing this fall and spring, we went to Santa Monica Pier.  We had a good, relaxing day.

An all about girls day

 I love my girls and I love my A-Days girls. They make me happy.
I took pictures of Maya and Addison being rockstars. 

 Now these girls pretended to be Olympians.

 Aqui estan las fotos. Abuelo, Abuela y Maya! Una foto dice mas que mil palabras. 

Welcome Ellis

Sweet baby Ellis Waylon Rawlins was born Tuesday super early morning. He is so perfect! My SIL  and Greg sure made a cutie. He is one big baby, he weighed 8lbs 4oz and measured 22.5 inches. Good job Heather, you are a strong woman. Everybody already knew that ;)

This is a picture Heather posted on Facebook.

Now Ellis be good to mama, and let her sleep a little. Don't be like your cousin Addison who made me go zombie. I can't wait to hold you and give you a big kiss! We love you already and we haven't even met yet.

Mizuno Wave Inspire 8

We purchased a V.I.P membership to ROADRUNNER a while back. We have already used it for a few things. Just a week ago or so we got a customer appreciation coupon for 25% off any items. I needed to replace my New Balance 860 badly, those bad boys lasted me a while considering all the miles I have ran with them. So today I ordered the Mizuno Wave Inspire 8, they are a stability shoe just like my old ones. I am so excited to try them. I love that ROADRUNNER allows their member to try them for 90 days! If they don't work we send them back and get something different. I can't wait, they should be here tomorrow!
