Merry Christmas!

Hey, everyone! I hope that everyone had a Merry X-mas!

Brad and I are happy to announce that we are expecting a baby GIRL!!! We are very anxious and excited, and can't wait for her to be born.

Brad and I drove up to Bakersfield last night so that we could spend Christmas morning with his family. We got ready at seven in the morning and opened up presents and had breakfast. It was really nice seeing everyone together. We had a great time.





Cute little Lexi. Brad's oldest brother's daughter.

A Boy or A Girl?!?!

Hey guys! Many of you are wondering if we have found the sex of our baby. The answer is yes, but we are keeping that confidential between Brad and I until Christmas. Brad doesn't want to tell anyone until Christmas when our family will find out what we are having. It is so hard not to say anything. I would totally say, but our family looks at our blog and we don't want to give out any clues.

We are very excited and can't wait until Christmas! We hope that you guys have a Happy Holiday and wish you all a very happy new year!

P.S.
I will post up my belly shot sometime next week or so;)

We Are Still Alive!

So sorry for those who keeps checking our blog. I've been sick and at times lazy to work on anything...

Brad and I are doing great. Brad is busy going to work and going to the airport to get his flight instructor's license. We are still hoping that he can get into air ops. by next year. Brad has to wait for two years min. to get in. His one year is almost up (in March). We can't wait, so that we can attempt to buy a house down here. Buying a house in L.A. is not cheap guys!

So last weekend, Brad and I went to the CHP X-mas party. It was fun meeting new people and hanging out with some that had graduated with Brad in March. I would love to post pictures of the party, but my lovely husband forgot to bring the camera for us... But here is a picture of us recently taken at the Hollywood studios (we went back for the second time)


Don't we look awesome or what?!?!

Here is another picture of us. It's at some random street corner... Yes, it's random, but we were trying out differ. places to take some pictures for our x-mas cards.


I went to a differ. doctor today to get higher advanced ultra sound done. The doctor happened to be LDS as well. He is a fetal diagnosis doctor. He was really nice and told me everything is developing very well and that the baby is healthy! Yay! So what do you guys think... Boy or Girl!?!?!??!

Hope everyone is doing well!

P.S.
I, for the first time threw up at 19 weeks. Not just once, twice, three times, but 7 times in a row. However, I think I had food poisoning... I won't go in details. I hope I didn't disgust all you pregos out there... Have a wonderful day=)

Happy Turkey!

Have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving guys! I'm off to San Diego tomorrow to spend my Thanksgiving day with my brother and sister. I will post something up on the weekend, since many are wondering where the pictures are...;)

Have a fun day and eat lots of turkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUch!

My back has been hurting a lot lately. I've been taking hot showers everyday to try to relax my muscle. Having a waitressing job doesn't help, but it sure is a good exercise;)

These couple of days, I've been worrying and thinking about how I am going to deliver this baby. I have this fear of delivering! I know, I know... Many women have done it, but I'm terrified. AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I expressed my worry to Brad and his response was a laugh. He thinks it's funny. Sometimes I wish that men can go through what women go through, as far as being prego and try to deliver a baby when it is time. Sometimes, I wonder how Brad's mom had 10 babies.

So far, I haven't gained any weight but I'm sure I will make up towards my last trimester. I was just looking through the internet and did this Chinese calendar test to determine the sex of the baby. According to the test, I"m having a boy! I know it's just a test, but I have a good feeling that it is going to be a boy. Brad and I are both actually hoping for a boy first. We will just have to wait and see...

Doctors Visit

I went in for my last of my first trimester doctor's visit yesterday. I was so worried, but I heard the baby's heart beat again. I felt so relieved, tell ya! It was beating so fast, I couldn't believe it! I still can't believe that I'm pregnant either... But I am very happy that I am and I can't wait to meet this new baby.

So the past 1 1/2 months, I've been having headaches, stomach aches, and , wanting to throw up( but can't), but I think it is slowly disappearing. For the last month or so, I haven't been able to brush my teeth the way I been wanting to. every time I have too much toothpaste in my mouth or try cleaning my tongue with a toothbrush, I start gagging horribly, leaving me with a stomach ache. Anyone experience this?!?!

Couple of days ago( Tuesday), I went to work and as soon as I had arrived, there were tables waiting for me to serve them. So I hurry up and went to the tables to serve them. When I arrived at work, my plan was to take a drink of water because I was thirsty, but that didn't happen because I was soooooooooo busy. In the middle of taking orders of 10, I started getting blurry and I started getting light headache. It was so bad, I had to stop the lady who was giving me her order and I ran to the side station. I ended up on the floor, causing me to almost faint. It wasn't the greatest feeling. After that I was so concerned about my baby thinking that he/she didn't have enough oxygen to breathe. My worry of course went away after the doc. visit yesterday. I've learned my lesson to keep myself always hydrated at work.

What else... This year, we are not celebrating Thanksgiving or X=mas with our families this year. Brad is scheduled to work on Thanksgiving and X=mas day; bummer. Since he is so new in what he is doing, he has no seniority whatsoever. Hopefully, he will be able to take some holidays in the future.

A gift from Heavenly Father

So after being in my new ward for almost about 7 months, I received a calling! I'm serving in the Y.W. presidency as a second counselor.

After being without a calling for so long, I kind of got comfortable not really doing anything on Sundays. I kind of enjoyed it, but I'm grateful that I received this new calling. I'm almost getting over my sickness of being pregnant with my first trimester, and I feel that this is the perfect time to receive one. I'm so pumped up and excited about this calling. I really want to make a difference in these girls' lives. Some are struggling and there are many inactive girls. Wish me luck guys;)
