~*Baby Shower*~

Well, I had the MOST AMAZING baby shower anyone could ever ask for!!! It was PERFECT. I was able to kick back, relax and enjoy everything. I was so silly, I was so nervous going because I did not know what to expect, and to know all those people were there for me...I had butterflies..hehe. Everything from the decorations, to the cake, and of course the wonderful loving people who were there! I have waited many years to be able to have a baby shower for my baby(ies). I want to thank EVERYONE to helped put it together, donated, cooked, decorated ...anything ...you made it one of the best days of my life. Mom, I know you did most of the organizing and creating and thank you for making the day so very special for me, it meant so much, and I love you with all my heart and dont know what I would ever do without you. I recieved almost everything I needed. And the few things I have left I recieved gift cards, so we will need to spend little to no money at all. We have been blessed beyond what words could describe. We had so many friends and family there, it warmed my heart so much. Cant forget to mention all the food was great too, specially those meatballs YUMMY! I have a wonderful group of online women who were pregnant with me through Elishas pregnancy, they are one of the greatest supports I had through Elishas birth and passing...they came together and got us the double stroller we wanted and an infant carrier along with some other things.. I was shocked. Women who i have never physically met, but have such a close relationship with came together and did this kind and generous thing for us. The interenet is not just filled with crazies, there are some real genuine people out there, that you can meet and bond with. I love them all. My mom hand-made these beautiful rag quilts with their names embroidered on them that are just beautiful, I will have to get picture of them. We also have enough clothes for Paige for three quarters of the year and for at least a half a year for Gavin. Now its just finding a place for them HA! Pray for us..hehe. We also got thousands of diapers....praise God, and THANK YOU everyone. That is something we will use in bountifuls! We have been truly blessed, truly truly. We have the most wonderful family and friends that anybody could ever ask of. You all have been there to support us, wallk with us, pray with us, fellowship.

I will post some pictures of the nursery as soon as we get everything organized and finnished up. I am in my third trimester today, 27 weeks along. i had to retake another 3-hr blood glucose test today, and should get the results tomorrow or Monday. As long as I can make it to 35 weeks my doctors will deliver me, if it is earlier than that I have to go to a bigger hospital in Tampa and have a stranger deliver me :(. They said they will do whatever in thier power to be the ones to deliver me. They have been through all my pregnacies with me and delivered both Alexis and Elisha. So I can have them in the next 7-10 weeks. WOW itis coming SO fast! Praise God ! I cant wait.

September Update!!!

Hello dear friends and family. I am sorry I have not updated in SO long. All is well here. I did fail my 1-hour glucose test to test for Gestational Diabetes, but took the 3-hour test and passed. HOWEVER, when I went to the doctor last week it showed I had a high amount of sugar in my urine specimen…soooo I have to retake the 3-hour test AGAIN. I have to drink this HIGH potency sugar drink that is like kool-aid with 4 cups of sugar in it, and they take my blood 4 times. Oh joy. We had an ultrasound last week and both Gavin and Paige are doing GREAT~! Absolutely perfect. Currently they were both in the head down position (perfect for a vaginal delivery) Baby A which is the one that is lower Paige our lil girl weighed in at 1lb12oz and Baby B which is Gavin weighed in at 1lb10oz. Both heartbeats were also perfect high 140’s and low 150’s. We have been blessed beyond words! Doctor said because we are having twins I have to deliver in an Operating Room (in case of an emerg c-sec) so only Enrique will be aloud in the room with me. No mommies L . There will be a ton of nurses and doctors in there for two of them anyhow. But still!
Our baby shower is THIS SUNDAY!!!! I am beyond excited. I have never gotten to have a baby shower before and I am so so so ecstatic! Our cousin Lizette lives in a nice complex with a nice clubhouse that we are able to rent for FREE! YAY. We have been working on the nursery slowly but surely. After the baby shower we can put on the finishing touches. We have bought everything big I can think of with the exception of the glider/rocker for the nursery. We have gotten the cribs, changer, dresser, bouncers, swings, jumperoo, gliders, high chairs, car seats etc etc…so I am praying that with the baby shower I get all my small necessities (butt crème, diapers, wipes, medicines, baby bath, lotions, blankets etc etc). I put everything we will NEED all the small stuff on my registries. So many good things are on the way in our life right now, blessed we are. Will do an update with pictures after the shower on Sunday. Love you all!!!
