9mth Madness!!!

Okay I finally got a chance to download these videos... here you go!!!!!!!!

Check out BC taking his first steps... well actually he took his first steps at the Mall with Stephanie and Sydnie present... it was sooo cool... I just stood him up and he just took 3 steps like he has been doing it forever. I was in state of shock! He's not walking a mile or anything but he takes anywhere from 3 to 4 steps on his own!

My son has developed this fake cry... it's sooooo HARD not to laugh when he does it...LOL!!! Watch his face throughout the video and see how fast he goes from "crying" to "not crying". LOL!!!

He also says "ca-ca" ALL the TIME... here is proof! :)

LOL!!!!!!

OMG.... this is totally funny.... BC started doing this new crawl today...I don't know where he got it from but it's soooo funny. Check it out!

9mth Update

The start of this 9th month has been an adventure already. BC is just EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE! You cant leave him alone for a second. Every nook he has gotten into or has figured out way to get stuck in it. LOL!

Here are his stats: 21lbs 28 1/2 inches long!!!!!!

This month he's 2 front teeth have popped through the gums. They are not fully out yet but you can definitely see them now.

His new favorite word is "ca-ca"... everything and everybody is "ca-ca". He use to say "mum" but actually hasn't said it in a while. He will occasionally say "da-da" but only when he wants to. Now he just screams "ca-ca"... LOL! Daddy tells the baby... "always remember Mommy rhymes with poopy" so now I tell the baby... "say Dada is a caca face"... LOL. You know we totally deserve the parents of the year award. LOL!!!

He eats everything and doesn't want anything to do with baby food of any sort... whether its homemade or jar stuff. He wont even eat baby cereal so mommy has been working on trying to get some new stuff for him to eat. The Pedi recommended I start to give him less milk (only 24oz a day) and more food so we're working on this one. She said that when they start whole milk it doesn't have as much iron as formula so it helps to get them use to drinking less milk because some kids can develop anemia.

As far as the stuff he's NOT suppose to be eating... ants... yup... I found him one morning eating dead ants... he had a big cheese smile while I was trying to fish them out of his mouth! He's also got a hold of my hoop earring somehow and started to chew on it. It got stuck in his mouth and his eyes were tearing up but Carlos was able to get it out and he was completely fine while I inspected him to make sure he had all his "parts"... he was looking at me like... "Mom.... what are you doing, it was only an earring!" Then the next day he ate paper... I even have proof! (see below) and this morning I saw him chewing on a felt pad... well those are the things I've caught him eating so God knows of all the other stuff he's put in his mouth and swallowed!

He is just about to walk too. He can totally stand up without holding on to anything and actually stand up for a while. He'll hold on to something and take a few steps (still holding on with one hand) and when he lets go... he's like... oh crap... now what do I do?? LOL... I'm sure he'll soon figure it out and Mommy is really gonna have her work cut out for her.

I'm really enjoying this time with him. I actually just sit on the floor and like to watch him just go wild. Don't get me wrong... sometimes he's a handful and Mommy wants to ship him off to grandma's house but at the end of the day I would change it for anything in the world. There is just something sooooo special about seeing your baby grow up and not missing any of it. Melts my heart away!

Let see what else did I miss.... he's wearing 12mth clothing now... oh and I've totally started to plan his 1st birthday. I got TONS of ideas and I just cant believe that in 3 short months he's going to be a year old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay picture time...

BC LOVES the pantry.... he grabs everything on them and throws it on the floor!






Okay I MUST explain this one.... BC has figure out that in order to reach the stuff on the shelve he needs to be taller so he literally gets on his tippy toes and then pulls himself up with his 2 hands (like doing a pull up) and grabs stuff!!!!!!!!!! I swear I'm not even kidding.... look at his toes in this picture...



see I told you he eats paper....

Mommy... I didn't do it... :)

here are his top teeth... they are still coming in but you can see them...

12wks 4days - NT screen

Yesterday I had my regular OB appt along with my NT screening test... where they check the baby for down syndrome. I was so excited to see BT (Baby Terrero as a friend of mine calls it). This time BT was all over the place. He/she had both it's hands up in the air waving them back and forth at us, he/she was extending their little skinny legs nice and long, started to put his/her nose up in the air, the baby even got on it's head for us... LOL!!!! So freaking adorable. Carlos and BC were both there and just smiled at BT.

The u/s came out PERFECT and the u/s tech said... "Baby looks GREAT and no signs of downs... you have a beautiful baby in there"... not that I needed her to tell me that but I smile feeling proud of my little one already.

We then went on to the regular OB stuff and really... there isn't much to report. Things are going well and so far I've gained 3lbs only. I'll take it considering what I've been eating... it's sooooooooo not pretty. Just crap! LOL! With BC I did gain most of my weight at the end of the pregnancy so we'll see what happens this time!

As for mommy... well... lets just say I'm having a hard time with my hormones... I'm a COMPLETE and UTTER MESS!!!! I'm not even kidding... and it's soooooooooo NOT cute! Let me give you an example... a couple of nights ago Carlos and I were watching t.v. BC was already sleeping and I started to feel "blah" so I decided I was going to go to bed (it was around 11pm) so I go upstairs and I tell Carlos to bring me my phone and a cup pf water when he comes up.

I get in bed and I pass out. Carlos comes in a little bit later (which to me felt like 3hrs later) and wakes me up to ask me if we had an appt tomorrow (Thursday) for BT and I got SO UPSET. Here is how the conversation went:

Carlos: Do we have an apt tomorrow?

Me: What do you mean... I've been telling you all week we have an appt tomorrow? (saying this with a BUNCH of attitude, rolling my eyes, and looking at him like he has 4 heads)

Carlos: Babe I was just asking if I was going to meet you there or if I'm coming home and we're going together

Me: NO that's not what you were asking me... if that's what your were asking me then ask me the right question

Carlos: Babe what is wrong with you... it's okay calm down...


By this point I go off into God knows what kind of argument... my poor husband... all I know was that in the middle of this conversation I started to laugh at myself because I know I'm being a complete IDIOT for being so upset and mad about something that by this point I had no idea what it was... and by the end of this conversation I start CRYING because Carlos didn't hug me... okay... SERIOUSLY people... WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!!!

I have a problem with these hormones because if you know me... I'm NOT a crier at all and I'm not use to being this EMOTIONAL about anything and everything. It's just NOT me. Plus I can totally feel the "emotions" coming which I try with all my power to not let out but as you can see my emotions win and take over.

I must say that I did ask my husband for forgiveness and explained to him that I really cant help it and that I promise I'm going to try and do everything that I can to NOT let my emotions win and take over.... to which he responded... "Do you think you can stay at your moms house for the next 6 months????".... LMAO!!!!! My husband makes me laugh. I'm soooooo glad that we have a GREAT relationship and he is the sweetest... kindest.... most UNDERSTANDING husband. Plus as an added bonus he's really good-looking and knows how to make some banging ramen noodles... ;)

Beside the diary of a mad pregnant chick or like I like to call it... mad women turrets syndrome... things are going FABULOUS!!!!

Until next time... I'll leave you with a picture of sweet BT...


Profile




and I just have to share with you this one... this is the shot where the baby was "showing off" its LONG legs.... look at the right hand side of the picture.

Being Uneasy

So... mama has been SUPER emotional with this pregnancy. I mean I'm crying all the time and honestly sometimes I don't know what to do with myself because if you know me... you'll know I'm NOT a crier so this is new to me. Even with BC I wasn't like this. Daddy Carlos makes fun of me all the time... jerk!

It's hard not to freak out about the baby in the tummy. I mean I know I've done this before but like I said before... the 2nd time around is completely different. Even though you know much more about pregnancy you STILL freak out every once in a while and this past weekend was when "freak out mode" hit me. I mean... I was completely fine but I had a bad dream which had me uneasy for a couple of days and I told Carlos that I just needed to go in to hear the baby's heartbeat... just so I could feel better... I needed it as a mommy!

Monday came and I made an appt with the OB. Dr. Gearity came in and asked me what was wrong and I told him... I just want to hear my baby's hb so I can feel better about things since I had a bad dream I've been uneasy. Dr. Gearity tells me... "the dream wasn't about me right?"... LOL... Nooooo not about you... he goes... "I'll tell you what... I'm going to give you an u/s so you can see and hear your baby". I just smiled. He gave me the u/s and actually just let me watch the baby for a while. The baby was PERFECT... just hanging out and the baby was actually making fun of me by putting his/her hand on the forehead like saying "ayi... mommy... I'm okay... geez!"... LOL! I watched the LO just move his/her hand around and then s/he started to suck their thumb... soooooo freaking cute. I just couldn't help but cry as I watched my LO. I was just SO HAPPY to see him/her. I got to record the baby's hb on my phone so now I can hear it anytime I want. :)

I'm grateful to have such an AWESOME doctor who told me to go in whenever I want and not to hesitate about it. I cant get enough of my babies. :) They both are my world!

Here is a picture of the baby sucking his/her thumb...

10wks 2days

I'm a complete slacker and I haven't posted about my baby belly. I know... sorry BC has been keeping me BUSY!

Anyway... this pregnancy has been completely different then when I was pregnant with BC. On Monday I experience what morning sickness was and honestly I wasn't even sure I was having morning sickness because everything that I had heard was that you puke... well I didn't need to puke. I just felt like I had a nasty taste in my mouth. It was weird... I had waken up from a nap with BC and just felt "not great"... I knew it wasn't cause I was hungry because I had ate just before our nap... I wasn't tired cause I had just taken a nap... it was just out of the blue. So I put BC in his play yard and laid down on the couch to see if it would go away. Nothing... drank 3 cups of water... nada... ate some crackers and had some ginger ale.... still nothing. It finally went away but did come back that night. :( I honestly wish I DID puke so the feeling would go away but nope... not my luck.

On Wednesday I had my first craving too. With BC I didn't have any cravings just ate really healthy like salads and fruit ALL THE TIME!!! It wasn't a "OMG I MUST have it..." it was more like a "I would like to have" and if I didn't have it... I was okay with that too. Well DAMN Sonics commercial!!!! They had some chili cheese fries and a milkshake commercial and that's it... I was all OVER it... I text Carlos to see if he could bring me some when he was on his way home... and he said "okay"... well it was about 12pm and Carlos was going to come home around 6pm... I couldn't wait that long! Carlos called me up and gave me his "secret recipe" and I made some at home.... OMG... BC and I just sat in front o fit and ate... I mean it wasn't cute at ALL... well maybe BC was but I was ALL OVER it!!!! It was soooooooooo DELICIOUS!!!!!!

I have also been having some dizzy spells throughout the pregnancy but it's been good other then that. I must say that so far I think I'm doing good so far. ;)

Okay enough about me... yesterday I had my appt and things went FABULOUS!!!! I was super excited about it because I knew I would get to see the little one again... we were getting an u/s! Carlos couldn't make it to this appt with me cause he had to work but I had BC there and it was great.

The baby is growing on point... actually the baby is measuring big which wasn't a big surprise to me since BC was also. The baby is measuring 11wks so a few ahead of schedule. They did move up my Nucal screen appt due to this but they just said they will keep an eye on the baby. I was soooo excited to see the baby. Heartbeat was 165!

Here is a picture of my little peanut!



and here is a picture of the baby belly! I've really popped in the last few days and I cant believe how big it is considering I'm only 10wks! But to tell you the truth... I'm already in love with my little baby growing inside of me!

Places to go and things to see

This is BC!!!! Mommy finally gave me a chance to write to you guys again... plus I've been super busy these days. My house is like a whole new world... I get to discover and see things I haven't really seen up close before. I'm crawling and I love it!!!! Can we say.... FREEDOM!!!! Well as much as Mommy gives me... because Mommy has been saying "no"... "don't touch"... a lot to me lately and if she only knew that I'm totally faking that I have no idea what those words mean.... heehee... don't tell her I said that! ;)

Mommy has been catching me getting into stuff and doing stuff I'm not suppose to... I guess I have to work on my sneakiness... but I guess I'll share them with you... ;)


I was trying to be quite but Mommy still found me... she was saying "why do I even buy you toys?"



Getting to my toys...




playing with my new toy car Dada got me





playing with my ball

and then Mommy saw me doing this....I was just trying to see what it taste like?!?! Geez Mommy... all I know that after this I heard her say... "that's it the baby gate is going up!"
