15 Weeks/ 3 days!



15 Weeks/ 3 days today! This time is just flying by. Last week was a very eventful week for us. My dear friend Constance got married this past Saturday (June 23). I left for Washington, DC on Wednesday and me/ hubby returned on Sunday night. I was busy and on the go from the moment I got in on Wed until we left Sunday. Wednesday - Candice & I were up chatting like 16 year old girls until the wee hours of the morning. Thursday was the bridal shower at B. Smith Restaurant and that evening was the Bachelorette Party at the Leopard Lounge. Thursday was a 14+ hour day for me & the little one. Plus - afterwards Shunda & I were up practically all night chatting! So that made 2 straight nights for me not getting enough sleep...it caught up with me the next day! Friday was the rehearsal followed by the rehearsal dinner. Saturday, June 23rd was the big day. Constance made an absolutely beautiful bride. I really enjoyed the catholic wedding ceremony. The priest put a lot of personal touches on the ceremony which was great. We took pictures and then proceeded to the reception. Sunday was the farewell brunch and we left for Atlanta shortly after. It was a very very eventful 5 days for us. Aside from having the worst headaches nearly every day of the visit - all of the pre-wedding and wedding festivities were just beautiful. I'm very happy for Constance & J C as they enter into this next chapter of their lives as husband/ wife.
Me & Hubby at the Wedding



As for our precious baby - he or she weighs around 2.5 ounces and measures 4 inches. His or her proportions are becoming even more normal - his/ her legs are now outmeasuring the arms. Although I'm not feeling it yet - the baby is squirming/ moving a ton inside. Also, his or her joints and limbs can all move now.  We find out the sex on July 10th - so the countdown is definitely on. And the next day July 11 - we leave for San Francisco;-) and get back on July 16th.

On April 12, 2012 - Alvin and I received the best news ever! I took a home pregnancy test (actually I took 2) and they all reflected positive!!!!! Alvin was not home when I took the first test. I called to find out where he was - he was at a rental property that we recently purchased overseeing a rehab project. I immediately went to the house to see him. I had NO words for him once I saw him - so I just showed him the test. We both hugged and cried (mostly me) and that day was life changing for both us. In 9 months - we will be parents! At that point - we immediately called our parents. Everyone was SUPER excited! Alvin's parents have no grandchildren - so this will be their first:-) For the rest of the evening we fantasized about our baby and how our lives will never ever be the same. I'm so looking forward to moving into this next chapter with Alvin.

Really Missing Martha......

I've missed a few weeks of writing as there has been a lot going on. I have been dealing with the untimely, unfortunate passing of my dearest friend Martha Fondel Smith. I received a call on 9/14 from her husband that she suffered a stroke. I flew down the next morning to see her. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. The person who has been more like a sister to me than a friend for the past 15 years, who has stood by me through thick and thin was laying in a hospital bed not able to breathe on her own and showing no signs of any brain activity. Martha's husband Tony & her family made the decision to let her go - so on Saturday evening my sweet sweet friend went on to be with the Lord. This has been absolutely devastating to me as I don't have many memories over the years that don't include her. She was my trusted a confidante and I was hers. We stood up for each other in our weddings - we got married in the same year only a few months apart. Martha ha

It's A.......

GIRL!!!!!! I am tickled pink and green :-) We had an anatomy scan on Tuesday and were able to see that all of her organs have formed. All 4 chambers of her heart, brain, kidneys, liver, etc. are all there! She's measuring right on target and the doctor said that she looked PERFECT. In fact, he doesn't think I need another ultrasound....which is bittersweet for us because we enjoy getting to see our little princess. Towards the end of the ultrasound - the technician very clearly pointed out that we're having a GIRL! I've been having dreams of little boys the entire pregnancy so I was super shocked. Then the technician said normally the sex is just the opposite of the one you're dreaming of....now someone tells me! I am super duper excited to have a little "mini me." Alvin is already calling her a princess:-) So, now that we know.....I can finally settle on a theme for the nursery!!!! We left for San Francisco on Wednesday and we're really enjoyi
