The NEW Ice Cream & Pickles

Yep, count those suckers... 12!
I am officially pregnant, 12 Slim Jims and a glass of milk.
Funny thing is that just the other day Eddie and I were pondering over the fact that i had not had any fun and weird cravings courtesy of Miss Cara. On the other hand she has completely robbed me of brain function as it took me three tries to remember the correct spelling of "courtesy"
::sigh::
Now would anyone be kind enough to explain to me how i could crave raspberries at 2am with Aiden and ultimately gain 60lbs but for some reason i can consume 12 slim jims and still barely be making my minimum weight quota.
The miracles of pregnancy never cease to amaze me!

And here's a 21 week belly picture for good measure . . .

HELP! . . .

someone kidnapped my darling son and replaced him with a small demonic banshee! After a fun morning of playing at the library
(he is a

Lego

junkie just

like his

daddy)
and running a few errands my child's generally pleasant demeanor fled to a tropic location and left me with . . . with . . . aw heck i can't even find words to explain the awful tude Aiden had today. i know this teething thing is rough but this was monumental.

I did get a few new bows done today! YAY!!!

Just another Friday

Another Friday in the Torres home . . .

Aiden is cutting some MORE teeth, the count is standing at 10 thus far while we wait patiently on these pearly whites. We got to take him sledding this week in his new sled from Aunt Jen and Uncle Joe!!! It was quite a blast but as much as he loved wizzing down the hills my little gavone was content just shoveling snow . . . into his mouth. We had a little bit of a chat about the staying away from the yellow stuff and took advantage of some cute photo-ops.


Things are slowly coming together in the kids' room. We finally got our hand's on the missing "D" for Aiden's name but have yet to get Cara a crib mattress. Heres a little sneek peak (we borrowed Aiden's mattress to get a good look at the "finished product")





Little Miss Cara Jayce is still baking away and was an entire POUUND at our 20 week appointment! Aiden is having a hard time realizing he has a baby sister growing in Mommy's tummy and not a pillow. Although i sure can understand why he would be confused . . .

IT'S A GIRL!

We found out on December 30th that we have a little princess baking! The Placenta has moved up but now we are beginning the turmoils of pre-term labor. Thankfully the contractions are not causing my cervix to dilate but but are none-the-less cause for concern and will be monitored closely by Dr. W. We are awaiting the 20 week anatomy scan on Thursday and starting at our 24 weeks appointment will begin the FFN test to monitor the likelihood of true pre-term labor. Please keep your fingers crossed and prayers coming that this little girl is given plenty more time to bake and become a big and healthy baby! We have chosen Cara Jayce as her name and as excited as we are to meet her have no problem waiting until June.

Aiden celebrated his 16 month birthday on New Years Day and sure has a lot to say about it! He is talking up a storm and adds new words to his vocabulary by the day. He looks more and more like a little boy every day with all the personality boy-hood has to offer. =)
