We are having a...

A baby GIRL!!!
We are so excited to say the least! My official due date is December 19,2011 however I am going to be having another C-section so she will be born a week before. I am beyond blessed. I have my son and now my daughter, I also wanted to have a boy first so he could watch out for his little sister. Elijah is doing better with the whole baby in mommy belly, we went to the best store the other day ( Target) and we were looking at baby stuff and he was going crazy picking things up saying " I buy for baby". He was so funny.
When the lady said Girl, my husband first thing to say was " Great that is two pedicures" I just died laughing! I on cloud nine right now because my life is so full filling and I am so loved and it over whelms me that God has given me so many blessing in my life.
We have a narrowed the names down to Piper and Olivia. I of course love Piper and my love wants Olivia! I have a feeling Piper is going to win though (:
December cant come fast enough! I am ready to hold her and look into her eyes like I did four years ago when God gave me my first blessing.

Tuesday July 19,2011

I really have not blogged much about our pregnancy and I am slacker for that! Truth is I have been so tired and sick I just really haven't had much energy til now.
The first weeks were rough morning sickness over took me and then around 7 weeks my levels stopped going up so they put me on Pomuterum (sp) and that just made feel worse, unfortunately I couldn't keep anything down and it took all my energy. I would go to work and then come home and pretty much crash! Well at 14 weeks I started weekly shots and things have been MUCH better!! I am keeping food down but still get sick at the most randoms times of the day and I am slowly getting my energy back. Also I have not gained any weight!! Which really suprised me because I all I want is milk and cookies! I am now 18 weeks along and my belly is growing and I actually look pregnant not just FAT!!! YAY!! I will post pictures soon I just have to wait since I decided to break my camera! I am going to blame it on pregnancy clumsiness, my husband doesn't see it that way though lol!!
We am finding out on Tuesday at 1:30 p.m what we are having!! I am so excited!! I would love to have a little girl because my body is already taking a toll with this baby and I would be done however having another little boy in the house would be just amazing! I love my son he is a funny little boy and completely like his father! I am surrounded by super hero's and race cars. So I wouldnt mind having a little pink house!
We finely have some names picked out but I am still thinking so I will let you know soon!!
I hope you have a blessed Sunday!!!

Happy Birthday Elijah~

My son is now 4 years old!! Where does the time go? He is a typical 4 year old to say the least. He is into super hero's, asking why, picking his own clothes out and saying NO! He makes my life so interesting and fun! Not a day goes by when I thank God for giving me this crazy non-stopping talker little boy that has an imagination bigger then the world!

For his birthday we did his favorite super hero IRON MAN!! He loves Iron man, when he gets into one of his silly moods we have to call him Iron man before he will answer whatever I have asked him!
We went swimming and then came back to my house for Hot dogs and cake. Bestie took the pictures with her niffy camera!




He was so excited to see the banner up! All he coulds say was " My birthday is coming"



The Iron Man Cake!! A very yummy cake till the dog decided to finish it off in the middle of the night!!!!



Presents!!!



Iron Man Movie!





Iron Man Toys!!!


Blowing out the candles!!! Make a wish!




Needless to say he had a great birthday party! Here are some of my favorite pictures of my 4 year old!!








Happy Birthday to my Big Boy!!! I love you

To my Husband...

My husband , Thomas Alan Duran is a wonderful man and an amazing father. He is hard working and thrives to take care of his family. He loves with everything has and I couldn't ask for a better partner in life. My son is the way he is because he has a father that plays and spends time with him. I love listening to them play " super hero's" and hearing my sons laugh when he is hanging out with his Daddy.











My husband is my rock and my shelter. He brings me comfort and strength. He is truly my better half. With out him, my life would empty. I thank God for making a man that shares the same heartbeat as me. He is my one and only true love.
Thank you Thomas for being a wonderful Husband, Father and Provider to our family. You are truly amazing and I am proud to be your wife.






I love you and Happy Fathers Day!!!

For all the SAHM!

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a Cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?' 'Yes,' was his incredulous reply. She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.

What would you take?

If God came to you and said you can bring one item to Heaven with you what would you take?

I have been thinking about this a lot for some reason and I am really not sure why because I know in Heaven all my treasures are already there, but I keep looking around and wandering " what would I take"...
I have so many items in my home that are important to me, a memory attached to them. I love my pictures, I love them because in the moment it was taken everything was perfect and nothing can change it. I have love letters from my husband that he wrote to me when we were Young and thought we could take on the world, I go back and read them to remind me where we came from and that we have conquered so much more then we ever thought possible. I have Elijah art work on my walls and I love being surrounded by his imagination and his small hand prints. I have these hair clips from my little brother, they say Heather on them and they are pink and I have kept them all these years because that is the only gift he ever bought with his own money. I have a ring I wear everyday from Bestie and I wear it because when I look at it, it makes me think of her and how I want to be a better person. She is one of the most loving,caring and giving women I know.
I have a pink baby blanket up in my closet that Bestie mom got me when I was pregnant with Elijah, she got me two thinking I was going to have a girl. She passed away never knowing Elijah or getting to know this baby. I gave Elijah one of the blankets and I am holding on to the other blanket for this baby... I have small heart shaped jewelry box my mom gave me a few years back and it has cracks and chips in because I broke it, I remember just sitting there crying holding the broken pieces in my hands thinking I will never see her again, now I look at it thinking God is the glue to everything even when you think things can not be fixed.
See what I mean I have so many wonderful items I can choose from, so how do I just choose just one??

I am going to choose my salvation... I choose my salvation because I know God has treasures for me in heaven, these items are my treasures on earth and he knew that we wouldn't be able to choose just one so he has treasures for us waiting and I cant wait to see what it is, Who knows maaybe it will be my pictures,letters,art work,ring and jewelry box...


So what are you taking?

Summer begins...

School is over this week and in the past that use to mean something to me. It meant pool, and BBQ and late nights with my everyone because we were all SAHM but now I have to work! BLEH!!! I am going to miss staying home this summer. We lived in the pool and doing fun things. I am going to miss going to the kids swimming lessons with Bestie and laying out and get sunburned and the complaining about it and then do it all over again two days later. I am going to miss windows down and music up and the smell of coconut on our skin. Stupid Job...
This weekend is the being of Summer with Memorial Day coming up. So we are going to go to the pool and just hang out. On Monday we are going to go see The Hangover Part Two. Which I am soooooooo freaking excited to see, because my love is in it! You know who it is! If not, IT IS THIS SEXY MAN!!




And I am sorry but if you do not share the same feelings prepared to be called stupid,crazy,dumb and a rehab and we can no longer be friends!!

So I am really looking forward to this weekend! Hubby and I are both off on Monday so that makes me super Happy!!

It is 4 weeks till bestie wedding! It is crazy to me that she is getting married sooo soon. We have been talking about this day for a while now and it is going to be here before we know it! I need to practice on her hair and makeup because I want her to look gorgeous on her wedding day!!

!



Then After that she is leaving me for a week to go to stinking HAWAII! I hate her! I hate her with all me heart! All I am saying is I better get something AMAZING!! (:

Then when she gets back to will be 4Th of July and then Elijah 4Th birthday. I think we are going to do the Avengers because he is really into super hero's right now.


After that I am not real sure. My little sister and "B" birthday is in August. I am sure my belly will be bigger by then and I am hoping not to big yet because I really dont want to go buy summer clothes when I am not going to be wearing them that long.
Well that is my plan for the summer. What is yours??
