New Year!

Gosh. Time flies when you are busy and pregnant. It's been awhile since my last post and I have a lot to catch up on. In early December the parents came to the states for their visit. After almost a year of communicating online we finally saw each other face to face. I was nervous to meet them. But my nerves quickly went away after the first few minutes. There were here for about 3 days. Day one we went to see thier daughter through 3D ultrasound. I personally have never done one for my own kids so it was very neat to see what was inside me. It was wonderful to see the parents expression as they saw thier daughter for the first time. I hope they will remember that always.

The next couple of days were spent at my house, shopping for the baby, basketball game, and meeting more of my family. The only tough part was the language barrier. Since they are from Spain, they speak ony Spanish. And my Spanish is so/so. I am sure you can imagine how it was. Thankfully my mom (fluent spanish speaker) was with us so she did a lot of translating. That was wonderful. My mom is wonderful. After the weekend the parents went to San Francisco to spend a few days there and sightsee. They flew back to Spain after and will plan to come back when the baby is born.

The pregnancy is going good. Although I am noticing some differences with this pregnancy compared to the other two that I have had. But I will probably will talk about that in another post.

Overall things are going well. I am 27 weeks and have 12 weeks to go before the due date. Things are pretty much the same around the house. Kids are doing good with the baby. Both shaun and Ysabel read to the baby at night and every once in a while they will each come up to my belly and talk to Silvia and say a quick hi. It's very sweet and I love how caring they are. They make this experience so much easier.
