Sunday Seven

1-Well the adventure has already started this week-end for us. George arrived in TX on Saturday night. Took him less time then I thought. He left here late Friday morning. He did good time and everything went good. No problems. Just when he arrived in TX it was pouring rain, thunderstorms at times so that slowed him a bit. But made it. So glad I was really worried about him driving down there by himself.

2-Well, I am now 26 weeks pregnant, per my ultrasound. So far so good. Little boy moves a lot and I am feeling much better, more energy. I was getting nervous on how tired I was feeling, at my last appointment my OB said my iron level was borderline, but he was not to worried about it just yet. He wants to wait til my next appointment to check it again and do my diabetes blood work to see if its gotten any better.

3-This week-end I actually scrapped a little. I did a card and a layout. Felt good to get my mojo back. Here is the layout I did.

I actually love the way it came it. Our first glimpse of our little boy. The ultrasound pictures is the full body of him, his little feet, and the last one is of his little boy part (hehehe). I can't wait to meet my little boy. Love him already.

4-Thinking of doing a weekly menu for me and Briana. She is a good eater, but there are times she just does not want to eat certain things. She sometimes refuses to eat colored rice, like if I make Congri (black beans and rice, Cuban dish) she won't eat it, cause the rice is not white. She will only eat white rice...oy vey! I am going to go buy a small rice cooker just for the two of us, like that I won't waste rice since I am used to making a lot for all three of us.

5-Sitting here tonight, waiting for George to call and while Briana is sleeping. I started our Babies R Us Registry. I wanted to get a feel of what we need for our little boy. I am glad all the major purchases we already have, like the crib, dresser, bassinet, stroller, infant car seat. All we really in need of is clothes, blankets, bottles, diapers, maybe a few other things here and there.

6-I have also been doing a little bit of cleaning/purging of things. Trying to eliminate things that we really do not need to take with us. I have tons of vases of millions of flowers George would sent me, seriously how many vases does a girl need. We also have lots of clothes that can go, stuff I have not worn since I left the Corporate world 8 years ago. Not sure if I should just give to the Salvation Army or try to sell things. I have noticed our area garage sells are not so good. We shall see.

7-Today, George met with a realtor and they previewed some homes. This realtor has been great, she took him around the areas and he got to preview a few homes. None he really thought would work for us. Says some floor plans were weird (compared to the homes here) or some homes our furniture would not fit. He did love the feel of the areas he was looking at, so different from here in California. He kept saying that we will love it there. I hope so.

That's about it for now. Just some ramblings of whats been going on with the Heredias.

Thanks for stopping by my little pad. {{HUGS}}

Emotional Friday

This morning, George left for his/our new adventure in life. He drove off to Texas. It's a 2 day trip by road. I am very worried about him driving down. I know he will be okay, but there are some crazy drivers out there. He will be checking in every so often to keep me from worrying. I know he was nervous this morning. He kept procrastinating on leaving. He was suppose to leave at 8am and left way later then that...LOL! He said, kissed us, and hugged us good-bye a million times. Love him. He will be back soon, I just hope the days goes by fast.

So far, Briana is doing good. I don't think she quite understood that Daddy was not coming home from work tonight. So, hopefully tonight and rest of the week will go smoothly. George is usually the one that tucks her into bed, gives her her warm glass of milk, and reads her a bedtime story. It's their moment, George was saying he was going to miss this every night. I feel so sad, he is such a good daddy.

Me, I am doing okay, I woke up nervous and once in awhile I get teary eyed and I try not let Briana see my tears. I think my hormones are taking over. So much going on, so many changes in our lives this year, its scary. I just got to remember that God has a plan and he will not lead us the wrong path. Trying to keep the faith going.

Also, today is 9/11. Its been 8 years since the attack. My heart goes out to the families that lost their love ones on this day, and thanking those who fight for our freedom everyday. God Bless.

Sunday Seven

Good Sunday Morning/Afternoon everyone. Lots going on in the Heredia Family.


1. On Friday, we found out we are having a little boy. Here's the ultrasound picture they gave us. We have a few more, but these are the most important one. The last one shows his little wee wee....he he he. It was funny when the Ultrasound Technician showed us the Pe*is....Briana was with us and she thought the the lady said Peanuts......she told us that was silly that the baby was eating peanuts....LOL!!! Love my little girl!.


2. I am now 24 weeks, per the Technician. So the due date is more closer to my Birthday, then Christmas. Will have to wait and see what my doctor says on my next appointment. Since I will be having a c-section, they up the delivery to about 7-10 days of your due date.

3. George was offered an Executive position. He thought about really hard and we went over some things and thought it was a great opportunity. The way the economy is and the Real Estate business here is slow we figure we need to get back on track and have a more steady income, instead of a Self-employed income that is barely anything. So last week, he accepted the offer. The catch to all of this is that the company and position is in Texas. So we will be moving to Texas real soon.

4. My nephew Brandon is excited we are moving to Texas, he is in Arlington right now. Just moved there a few months ago. He will not be alone anymore, he will have us and we will have him to help out whenever we need something. He is the best.

5. We had a surprise visit this afternoon by Muso and Regina. They are such great people. They bought lunch for all of us and lots of goodies for Briana. We've been trying to get together for a while and they just decided to show up and surprise us. Good thing we were home.

6. I actually scrapped a little today. It felt good. I really needed to do something else to distract and relax me a little from all the big changes happening around us. So much has happened this year that its just over whelming sometimes and with these pregnancy hormones, well very emotional too.

7. Speaking of Scrapbooking, Scrapfreak will be hosting a a private crop to benefit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Your crop donation is only $10, and all proceeds will be donated to Susan G. Komen. You can reserve your spot or simply make a donation here. be sure to mark your calendars for September 26th for our ScrapPink crop!
