update on things




sorry I havent blogged in a while.
I am super excited about everybody's predictions over on the expect.net site. I made a separate one with the family, this one for $$$. half of the "proceeds" will go to the winner, half for the baby.
In case you havent been able to see it, here's a screen shot. The game is now locked, and you cannot add your guess, but if you want, you can leave it on the comments section.



I had a very lovely christmas dinner with my friends. We did a gift exchange, and i got a Body Shop gift card, which i already used to buy an awesome Manoi Oil (it smells great and it will help condition the skin before and after the baby). You can find pictures HERE.

I am now 39 weeks, 7 days to go. But by the look of things i am starting to think things will happen on (or even after) the due date. I havent felt anything "weird" yet, and so now we just wait.

Gera is "officially" on vacation and staying with me at home since monday. It is good to have him around. It makes me feel safer, and we can go walk a bit in the evenings (although i a sooo big i get very tired very quickly). He borrowed a wii from a friend who went on vacation, so he has plenty to keep him entertained. I say "enjoy it now, because we're putting that away when the baby comes" ;)

My sister Abril is coming on Sunday!! She will be here for almost a month. I am so super happy to see her, and have her with me for all this crazyness. She is a doctor (the kind that helps people, hehe. not the Ph kind, like Gera), and although she doesn't have any babies herself she has delivered many babies and I am sure she know at least how to hold them correctly (i am scared the baby will be too fragile and I'll break her or something...). She also just finished her diploma as a Pastry chef, so i dont think i will be loosing a lot of baby weight anytime soon! :)

Also, my Mom will be coming too!!! This is a VERY big deal in my family. My mom doesnt really like to travel, doesnt like flying, has never been to europe.... and she's doing all this to meet her first grandkid! I love her. This story will be le-gendary! She'll be here in January but only for a couple of weeks.

On other news, we're done with our xmas shopping. did it all online. gotta love super saver shipping! I even opened a cafepress shop in the process, although i havent added anything to it. I plan to do something with it later (after the dust settles).

A move is in the works... i will tell you where and when next year.

We have a name but have not "released" it yet. We are waiting for her to be born, and then we'll make it public. (it took so long to decide on one, that we thought might as well wait a few more weeks, no)

I think this will be my last post before the baby. I dont know how crazy things will be... i hope not too crazy... but rest assured that whenever i have time (and/or energy) i will post the labor story and pics and all the details.



have a very merry christmas, and a super happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
