35 weeks

Its noon here, and as I just walked outside to pick up the mail I realized something....I am very happy. I mean really, truly, extremely happy. I awoke this morning quite early and was able to run many errands and have breakfast with my mom. Then I stopped to pick up a couple Christmas presents and some lunch for Pedro and myself. As we sat there eating we laughed and joked and talked about what a blessing our little girl is. Then we get up to go outside and the look on his face along with the breeze and the wind and all the signs that fall is very much here--I am very much in love with him. He runs across the street with the dog and talks with the little boys that are our neighbors and decides to take them to the park to fly his airplanes. I know it sounds so cheesy, but standing there looking around and knowing what great people I have in my life and what a wonderful little girl I'm about to bring into the world with the man I love...It makes me very very happy.

I am 35 weeks and 1 day today!! I'm starting to feel a little like a beached whale but am still loving pregnancy. The only thing I will love more is holding her in my arms!! Yesterday we found out we were accepted into the pediatricians team of doctors I had hoped for. Dr. Richard Baldwin will be her primary pediatrician. For me this means a lot, I grew up with 'Dr. Dick' as my dr and can remember drawing pictures and hanging them on his office walls. So now my little girl will be able to experience his positive personality and the wonderful way he does his job.

We also received the good news that Alexis will be coming into town for new years!!
