A Bun in the Oven

By -
Isaac and I have been talking about babies for about four years now.  We decided that immediately after the wedding was over, we would start trying.  You hear all the time that when couples try for a baby, it takes months or even years.  I knew that I wanted one right away so I bought about six pregnancy tests and started taking one every other day about three weeks after the wedding.  I finally decided to really read the directions, and they said to take the test first thing when you wake up.  So, I set my alarm for 6am the next morning, and the second it went off I ran to the bathroom. 

I remember while waiting for all of the other tests I was just praying and praying that they would say 'yes'.  This time, while sitting there on the edge of the bathtub trying to keep my eyes open, I just wanted it to hurry and tell me so I could get back into bed.  I looked down and saw the 'YES+' on the stick, and I couldn't believe it.  I just kind of stared at it for a minute.  Then when it hit me, I ran immediately into the bedroom to show Isaac.  We both just couldn't stop smiling and went from being half asleep to wide awake!



I couldn't really believe that it was happening, so I called my doctor to set up an appointment for that day.  She said that they wanted to wait until I was 8-10 weeks along before I came in.  That kind of bummed me out because I really wanted to know if it was real.  My doctor assured me that if the test said yes, I was pregnant.  Isaac and I went home on our lunch break to take another one just to be sure.  When it also said 'YES+' I felt a little stronger about it.  We couldn't help but to call our families and closest friends to share the great news. 

About 2 weeks later morning sickness hit which told me that it really was happening.  By the way, whoever coined the term "morning sickness" had no idea what they were talking about.  This nausea stuff lasts all day, every day for quite a few weeks.  Another symptom that really hit hard was sleepiness.  I just wanted to sleep all day long.  I went from going to bed around 11 every night to being fast asleep around 8:30.  (The extra sleep really has been nice, I must admit.)  Our next step now is just waiting for baby...We cannot wait until Baby Espejo gets here and are counting the days (hours, minutes, seconds) until he or she arrives!!

Last Week...

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
