7 1/2 months in and 65 days to go


pregnancy due date
Keira's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds like a head of cabbage. The pregnancy has been going well. Still no cravings, no stomach stretch marks (yay:). I have been feeling a lot more tired lately hence the afternoon naps. I have been feeling clumsier than normal. Fatboy thinks its funny, i think it's quite scary. I feel moody every now and then, so the moods are "swinging" Fatboy won't really admit to it. Dj and his friend Re'Sean were talking one day about how I was eating a lot and they began talking about pregnant woman and cravings. Then they got to talking about mood swings, I thought it was so cute because Dj turned to Sean and said "Yeah, but Seneik doesn't get those because she's too nice for that" I thought that was the cutest thing ever :) Little does he know:)

I am always hungry now, Fatboy calls me "Puerquita" which means little piggy. I guess it's typical being pregnant wanting that late night snack and all.

Keira is a busy body.
MyHotComments.comShe is very active and doesn't seem to understand that 11:30 pm mommy is trying to go to sleep while she is attempting to do the Happy Feet dance everynight.MyHotComments.comFatBoy gets a kick out of feeling her move around in there. My favorite thing to do is to place an object on my belly and just sit and watch it bounce on my belly as keira proceeds to dance in there. Overall the journey has still been a memerable one. Everything i always imagined and lots that i had no clue on.

The Fam




DJ's first words "Cool, My own little Child Prodigy!" in remarks to him finding out about his baby sister Keira. Dj is stoked that he is no longer an only child. He is so excited he has already made plans to help decorate and paint her Nursery. Drew and I of course are overwhelmed with joy that Dj is thrilled. I can admit we had our concerns seeing as how he has had every bit of our attention. Our Family is joyfully complete, well at least for now.......I'd like to think that one more after will seal the deal. Shhhhhh

Baby Shower

On behalf of Drew and I we would like to thank all of you that attended. The Shower was a huge success. Keira is so lucky to be blessed with soo many Family and Friends. Poor little girl isn't even born yet and yet she is so spoiled :) The Gifts were all awesome. A special Thanks to My Step Mom "Maria" who made all the arrangements and paid all the costs. Special Thanks to my Cousin Angelina & her friend Leah who decorated the place and made it look Fantabulous, "Way over my expectations". A special Thanks to My Good Friend Cameka who played a Major role in coordinating the shower stylistically, inviting all my friends & family and did an awesome job entertaining and hosting. Mill Gracias!

Caution: Over a hundred photos it make take a while to go through them.

Keira's Baby Shower "Gifts"

6 1/2 months Preggo



How Keira's growing: This week, Keira weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, Keira's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now.

Latest News: I am back from California where i had an awesome time with the family. I got really sick the day after arriving with a really bad cold. My midwife says it's from the change of climates. Almost two weeks in and I'm just now feeling better. The pregnancy itself has been good. I did have my first scare when i got back. I hadn't felt Keira in about two days and i was scared something was wrong. Of course i panicked and we went to the emergency room where they let me hear her heartbeat. Boy was i relieved. FatBoy had told me all along it was normal and that maybe i just wasn't paying attention to her having been busy with the moving and all. So he was right! I was actually admitted and placed on a fetal monitor where we listened to Keira bounce around for about two hours making sure everything was normal and okay. I have to admit for my first baby six and a half months in isn't so bad for my just about panic attack :)
FatBoy and I have just about settled into the new house. It's slowly but surely coming together. I so hate moving! Its been so long and tedious. We are excited to see what our little man DJ thinks about the new house as today will be his first day back with us. We are excited and thrilled to see how he likes it. To our surprise there are like a million kids in the neighborhood many of which are his age which is great. Well, maybe not a million but they are everywhere.

Stay posted as i will be posting baby shower photos in the next day or so.... Thanks for visiting.
