Expecting the unexpected

-
It's those little surprises in life that take us for a tailspin. Two weeks ago I found out that we are expecting baby number three. I am unexpectedly expecting. It was a shock, I won't lie. I thought I was done having kids. I was mentally getting ready to go back to work. My oldest is in school and my youngest is starting Kinder this coming year. Now in 8 months I am going back to diaper duty and sleepless nights, I am so not looking forward to that again.

I hadn't been feeling to well since the beginning of October and though pregnancy symptoms kept creeping up I didn't think that's what it was, we weren't trying, so I was sure it had to be something else. I thought I was sick, like really sick. Then I decided to take a pregnancy test to rule that out before I proceeded to make a call to the doctor about my illness. Well no call was needed, the stick said PREGNANT, in all caps just like that.

I know that a child is a blessing and he or she is coming into our family as God's plan. It's still a little hard to fathom that I am going to have another baby. I love my children more than life itself, I love to look at the amazing gifts that God has given us, a combination of my husband and I. One of the hard things for me about being pregnant it that I don't do pregnancy well. I get very sick, I'm extremely tired all the time, and things about me get altered, and I'm not just talking about my weight. This pregnancy I have lost the desire to cook and eat. I love to cook, but not anymore, I have no imagination for making meals and I don't care to eat them anyway. Pregnancy is hard for me, but like I heard someone say, "It's all worth it at the end." I just have to get over the hurtle of first trimester to begin seeing things in a new light.

OUR PUERTO RICO VACATION

La Isla del Encanto… the island of enchantment… that is the popular name given to the island of Puerto Rico. In summer of 2017 we visited Puerto Rico on our family vacation.. we spent 8 days on the island.  This was the first time my boys and I had been to PR. Tony used to spend his summers there, as a kid, with his grandparents. I particularly enjoyed this trip because we had the opportunity to visit several places during our stay.  We flew from Fort Lauderdale, FL to the capital city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Shortly after arriving we drove to the southwest central part of the island to visit Tony’s grandmother in the town of Adjuntas.  ADJUNTAS Adjuntas is known as the land of the sleeping giant because the mountain range looks like a giant sleeping on his side.  It’s located in a mountainous range so the climate is mild. The days we were there the weather was overcast and rainy, but pleasant beca...

MY DIY TE FITI RUNNING COSTUME

Disney races are a big deal! I never knew just how popular they were until the year I was left out of the Wine & Dine race beca use it filled up in a matter of two hours. It was now 2017 and I was not going to let that happen again. I sat anxiously checking the time every 5 minutes waiting for 12 o'clock. I had both my laptop and phone open to the RunDisney registration page. As the clock struck twelve I rapidly jumped on! Jackpot! I was able to register! Now that registration was behind me, it was now time to think about the most important part...what costume was I going to wear! My favorite part of Disney races is dressing up and finding awesome costumes. My friend and I kept going back and forth on what costumes we should run in.  Our first idea was to run as cute snowmen, thinking the theme would be Christmas once again. But the theme had changed and it was now going to be Fall Feast. Our first thought about going with Beauty and the Beast characters becau...

HOW I KEEP MY HOME ORGANIZED

The new year puts me the mood to rearrange my house. In the time we have lived in our current home, I think I have literally moved the furniture in my living around in every possible way, which means I have most likely exhausted all possible ways to rearrange my furniture, lol. The very moment I begin to put away Christmas decorations my wheels begin turning and I start to wonder, hmm... would my living room look better if I moved the sofa over here… or would this plant would look better over there?     I love to decorate and arrange my house to be more comfortable and function better. This sort of thing makes me very happy!  I love to have a well organized and neat home that suits all of my family’s needs. Being a stay at home mom and housewife, my home is where I spend my entire day, it’s both my place of work and my sanctuary.  So I want it to the best it can be. Current Living Room Layout My husband makes fun of me because he says I c...
