My Prayer Everynight for All of Us

Hi Ladies, this is a prayer that I pray every single night for each and every one of you. I hope you like it.


Prayer for Motherhood:

Lovely Lady of La Leche, most loving mother of the Child Jesus, and my mother, listen to my humble prayers. Your motherly heart knows my every wish, my every need. To you only, His spotless Virgin Mother, has your Divine Son given to understand the sentiments which fill my soul. Yours was the sacred privilege of being the Mother of the Savior. Intercede with him now, my loving Mother, that, in accordance with his will, I may become the mother of other children of our heavenly Father. This I ask, Our Lady of La Leche, in the Name of your Divine Son, My Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

9 Weeks

Hi ladies, we are 9 weeks already! Time is going by so fast. I'm still not feeling 100% but I'm a lot better than before. The only thing that I have now is major headaches. Even though my doctor said that I can take Tylenol I feel guilty taking it. So for now I'm just drinking a lot of water and praying that they go away soon. Here's a picture from last week.

Monkey Do at 8 weeks!

How big is the baby: The size of a grape

Total Weight Gain: 1.5 lbs, my waist is gone don't look so cute in a bikini, oh well

Maternity Clothes: None, I still fit into my skinny jeans but I'm sure not for long they are a bit tight

I'm back =)

Hi!!!! I'm sorry that I have been lost, but since I was on bedrest for the past two weeks I was sooooo tired of my labtop and TV that I gave it up until today. I promise I will catch up with all of your blogs this week.

I'm finally starting to enjoy my pregnancy, I don't have any more spotting or cramping Yayyyy. My doctor knew what he was talking about. We went on week 6.... a week and 2 days ago and we heard the HEART BEAT!! It was the most amazing thing we have ever heard. The heart beat was 111 bpm and my doctor said that it was great since I was only 6 weeks. Dr. H said that I was ready to go to my regular OBGYN, I was so happy but sad at the same time. I love my doctor and all the nurses. I cried like a baby (I think my hormones are all over the place because I cry for everything) he gave me a huge hug and made me promise that I was going to go back to show him my belly and the baby when he/she is born. I wanted to do something nice of them so I got them this cookie basket below, that it says "For all you do... Thank you". They were really amazing to me I was in that office almost every week for the past 7 months. I think I have the right to miss them.

So moving on to my OB, he's one of the best in Miami if not the best, and I'm very blessed because him and his wife have been friends with my in laws since they were kids so they are like family. He called me this week to see how I was doing and when I was going to go see him. Best part I have his and his wife's cellphone and his house number lol, I hope I never have to call him but it's just good to have it.

Last week was our three year anniversary!!! We were going to St. Maarten but we cancelled the trip since I'm not feeling too well and I can't drink or party. We will be there next year for sure =)

A bit Bored...

I have been on bed rest since Friday. On Saturday night my hubby's family came over and I kept walking around and helping my hubby with dinner because I felt fine I didn't have any cramps or spotting. But Sunday at 2am I went to the bathroom and I had red blood not much just a little bit but it was very scary. I waited to see if I had more and after that it was just brown not red. I didn't sleep all night praying to God that everything was fine. On Sunday morning I was so sad, I felt that it was my fault that I was spotting. We had this big family lunch on Mother's Day that I was not able to go, I didn't want to move from my bed.


Since Sunday morning I have not had any spotting I have been home on the couch or in bed all day. My amazing mom came over today, she cleaned, cooked and did laundry for me. She's really an angel. I love her so much!! I don't know what I would do without her. My husband is also amazing, he doesn't let me do anything he takes Austin out for walks and cooks for me. My friends also have come to visit me. I feel very blessed to have all this people that care so much about me and Monkey Do. I just can't wait to get up from here and move on.




I go back to the doctor on Friday and hopefully I'm off bed rest and we can hear the baby's heart beat. I have not gained any weight and the only thing that has grown are my boobs they are huge!! But I guess that's a good thing to have lol. I'm taking pictures every week here are the pictures from 5 weeks. I will be 6 weeks on Friday, can't wait!!

Little Monkey Do's first picture

Well here is the first picture of our little miracle!! It's the small circle in the middle. The good news is that the baby's size is perfect and the bleeding and cramping are fine. The bad news is that I have 3 huge cyst and my ovaries are really swollen as well. So that's why I'm feeling so uncomfortable and extremely bloated. I need to be on bed rest for 10 more days. No working out, heavy lifting or sex..ughhh poor hubby. We go back next Friday to do another sonogram and see if the cyst are getting smaller and probably the baby's heart beat.We also did blood work and my Beta came back at 3,754 and the nurse said it was an awesome number Wohooo.

I hope everybody has an excellent weekend with their loves one!

Monkey Do first letter from Daddy

4 WEEKS

May 5, 2010

My dearest Little Monkey Do,

On February 18, 2000, I met Mami while I was at work. Here we are 10 years later, married for soon to be three, and waiting for you to grow and be in our lives. Like Mami, I have been waiting for you and praying for you to come. Although we waited a little, I knew that it was whenever God wanted to send you that you would come. And I am glad it was you. I love you so much and I don’t know you yet. I don’t know what color your eyes are going to be. I don’t know if you are going to have a lot of hair or a little like me (me now, when I was little I had A LOT of hair, I’ll show you in the pictures). I don’t know if you are going to be tall or short. What I do know is that I already love you more than words can explain. Your mother and I have brought you here by the love of God and will always make sure that you know that you are the most special gift God has ever given us.

I promise you that I will live every second of my life making sure that you are safe and that nothing will ever happen to you. You are very lucky to have the wonderful mother that you do. She is an amazing woman who loves you more than anything; just as I do. We are so excited to meet you in 8 months. I know that Mami already explained to you why we call you Monkey Do now, but know that Mami and I call each other that out of love. So if we call you Monkey Do now, it’s because we love you and you are a part of us. I pray for you every chance I get and I ask God to keep you and Mami safe so that we can meet soon.

I love you with all I have and more.!

Papi

p.s.

Austin can’t wait to play with you!

I have the sweetest husband in the world, this letter made me cry so much. Thank you God for all of blessings.

Bed Rest =(

Hi ladies, sorry that I have been MIA but this week has been overwhelming and is not over yet. We have been telling our families and closest friends that we are pregnant. I took pictures and videos and I'm making a little movie that should be ready soon so you guys can see everybodys reaction. It was so amazing, my parents and in laws were beyond happy. For my parents this will be their first grandchild and for my in laws the second. I feel so blessed!

So since last week I have been spotting a little bit with cramps. I didn't have any more spotting Tuesday and yesterday I got a lot more than before so I freaked out. Thank God that I'm friends with the nurse at Dr. H office so I called her and Dr. H called me within 5 minutes and asked me a bunch of questions. Apparently this is very normal but for me it's so scary! It took us 7 months to make this baby and I don't want to lose it! I have an appointment tomorrow to you see if I have any bleeding inside, I'm not sure if they are going to do a sonogram since they can't see anything yet but I really hope they do.... even a little dot will make me the happiest girl on earth. I just want to make sure that everything is fine. For now I'm on bed rest until tomorrow.

Please little Monkey Do stay in there for Mami, we love you so much already!!
