Pregnancy Update

Well I am 31 weeks today! 9 more weeks to go! It's becoming more and more real that I'm about to have another baby! It's been so long since I had Ashlyn. She'll be 4 a month after Mallory is born. It's so surreal. We have wanted this for so long now and now that it's almost here, I just can't believe it. God has blessed us and I'm so grateful.

I had a routine check up today. I am measuring at 33 weeks, of course because I have big babies. I'm betting she's over 9lbs. I am going ever 2 weeks now which I like. I had a csection with Ashlyn and I'm still debating whether or not to have another or try Vbac. But the more I think about it and the size she will be, I'll probably end up having to have another csection.

I have gotten all of Ashlyn's baby clothes out of storage and I'm washing them all today. The smell of Dreft brings back baby memories for sure.

Luis graduates from the Academy in April so we first have that to look forward to and then baby arrives soon after! Things are slowly but surely happening for us. I pray for God's continued blessings.
I need to take more belly pictures. I know 2nd time around you do less with updating and writing everything down, taking pictures etc. I dont know why it happens but it just did. But it's not fair to her that we don't document Mommie's pregnancy with her too. So those to come.

Oh and we finally picked a middle name too. Mallory Elizabeth Sanchez

It's snowing in Austin!!

Happy Valentines

Little late posting but just a few pictures from Valentine's Day. I baked Ashlyn some strawberry cupcakes for LOVE day and she did love them, the icing part anyway. Then she and I received flowers from Daddy. He sent her red tulips with blue irises and me red roses. That evening Luis and I went on our date night to see "Valentines Day" the movie and ate a wonderful meal at Pappadeaux.

Pregnancy update.

This is me at 25 weeks and 4 days. This little girl sure is sticking it to me! ha. My next appointment is at 28 weeks. I will get another ultrasound and the Friday before will be my glucose test. joy! I'm counting down the days, which they seem to be creaping by slowly. I just can't wait to see this new baby girl and have her in my arms not in my belly!

24 weeks and counting...

I am 24 weeks and counting!! I would totally be okay with delivering right now, I'm so done with being pregnant lol. Not meaning this is it for the kiddos just that I don't feel like being pregnant anymore. I feel like I'm full term already and I still have 4 months to go! Pregnancy is just not as glorious on me is it is on others. I envy those women who loved being pregnant and had no aches or pains or complaints. So not me! lol My back is killing me! Sometimes where I can barely walk and nothing helps. I'm now having more trouble breathing and getting comfortable. So I'm happy that I'm in my 6 month already, one more closer to seeing my beautiful baby Mallory.

I recently bought a white, wooden cradle off of Craigslist, which I love! It's in perfect condition and in my room already, just need to find bedding. I can't wait to see her and hold her.

We are also anticipating April 23rd. Which is when Luis graduates from APD. That will be good timing mainly for pay raise before baby comes. Then we can finally start thinking about moving into our own place, probably rental until we can buy a house in the next year or two. But we have run out of space here and I'm sure my parents would love some empty rooms for a change. It's been a hard year but we know that God has great things in store for us and patience will pay off down the road.

Just thought I'd give you girlies something to read :)

It's a .....

GIRL!!!!

And her name will be Mallory!

Anxiousness!

I'm so anxious I can't stand it. I find out tomorrow what the sex of this baby is!! I keep dreaming different things. Once it was they said it was a girl then as they kept looking saw a pee pee and said it was a boy. Last night another dream saying "they THINK it's a boy" by looking a bones in his legs, uh OKAY! No help from my dreams.
My husband was supposed to be able to go with me now he can't so that makes me sad. I'm not telling my family or friends until Christmas day! But I can't wait I'm so excited to find out!!
I'll be posting again soon with the results!!!
