IT'S OFFICIAL...I AM PREGNANT!!

OHHH MYYY GOSH!!!! It finally happend!! Thank You God!!! At this moment, I am the happiest person in the world. All of my closest friends have known the struggle that Lupe and I have been through to try an conceive, but we did it!! HAAA We finally did it.

I went to the Dr on Thursday and he did some blood work. I am 4 weeks pregnant!

Medicane

I started taking some Glucophage-which is used for Type 2 Diabetics...but is also used for women with PCOS. Thank God, I have not felt many of the side effects, however; I do get nauseated every now and then, and I get cold alot easier. I have done my share of research and I see that this is normal. Also, there is an estimated 65% of women diagnosed with PCOS who get pregnant after this treatment! I am crossing my fingers!!!!

Our next step after this, is the Dr. checking to see if my tubes are not blocked. People have told me that its a VERY painful procedure!!!! Anywhoo. I will continue posting!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LUPE & GINGER

34yrs, that is a long time! We would like to wish you guys many, many more years of marriage. I hope that they are full of happiness and tons of blessings!!! May God Bless you guys always!!

We love you

Dr.'s Appointment

Today we went to the Dr. As alot of my closest friends and family, we have been trying to have a baby for 3 yrs now. So today I did my regular visit (Well Woman) and we went ahead and started discussing the whole trying to concieve thing. The Dr. did an ultrasound to check how my ovaries and uterus looked. My uterus was "Great" he said, but for some reason he could not find my left ovary. Well....My left ovary...for some reason is behind my uterus, and my right ovary has tiny cysts on it. He diagnosed me is PCOS- which really bums me out because I started reading some of the symptoms and I never really experienced any of it. However- I did see the cysts on my ovary (yes 1 ovary..the other one is somewhere in la la land lol) Anyhow...my Dr. said he would work with my right ovary! Which brought a spark of hope back to me. I am leaving it in God's hands...he has never failed me and I know he isnt going to! To those who love us...please pray for us! THANKS!

Halloween is almost here

With October literally around the corner, we get really excited because it's our favorite holiday

• It's my sisters b-day!


• You get to dress up and be what ever you want


• Eat lots and lots of candy


• The weather


• The scary decorations that we put up


• Lupe gets to scare the crap out of Sue (last night he was practicing)

But this year I think will be very exciting only for the simple fact that we plan on having a Halloween Party for the kiddos, plus it's the first Halloween in our house! We plan on decorating the house a bit especially inside. We have gotten some things already. I am definately looking forward to some haunted houses (real ones), ghost stories, making a jack-o-lantern...I will post some pictures later of some of the decor!

Chocolate Haunted Castle

I went to the store this weekend and came across this super cute Haunted Castle. I'm sure it will be alot of fun to set up! I will post the pictures after my son makes it. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Happy Birthday My Baby Monkey!!!

After an entire night of game playing, candy eating, ice cream eating, pizza grubbing...this is the result...a bed full of what looks like a bunch of college boys! LOL......they didnt go to bed until 3 in the morning!

Happy Birthday baby! I love you so much...

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy birthday daddy! I am so thankful to God, for having picked you to be MY daddy. Thank you for everything you have taught me, for your time and love. I dont think anyone could ever be as lucky as me, to have a daddy like you! I love you daddy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Damage- Ike

We finally got our lights on 2 days ago! It was a long week. This was the first hurricane that I have ever been in, honestly- it was the scariest thing ever! My house (which is all brick) felt like it was shaking- in my head I was thinking " Any minute now, my roof is going to go flying off" Thank God, it did not happen and we are all ok , however, it did cause some damage to my house. Here are some pictures :

Before:

After:

This tree is right in front of the room where my parents were sleeping- Thank God it broke and it landed the other way!!

Our fence

Here is a video of how bad the wind was blowing- This is when it first hit landfall. The wind is pretty bad, and there was already a broken tree

This is what we woke up to the next day, all the mess we had to pick up. We were one of the fortunate ones, that had a livable roof over our heads...Thank God it was minor damage.

Hurricane Ike- Pre Party

Ike is on his way, and honestly- I am a bit scared, but check out how my family shows their concern:

First- Let take advantage of the "cooler" weather. They pulled out the hammick, and just relaxed for a few. (I wonder what they are looking at)

Second: The hammick just didnt do it for my baby. He was bored and decided to do this

But that didnt do it either...so he did this

All that jumping made him thirsty

Cowboy's Game 9/7/08

Morning Sunrise

Saturday, Lupe and I had to wake up around 6:00 because our cable guy was coming to install a new cable service that they are offering in our area. So we got up at 6ish...maybe earlier, the guy was scheduled to come at 7:00am. My hubby went and bought me some hot coffee and some delicious donuts for all of us. Look how beautiful the sun looks

Good-Bye Playground

Dear Playground,

Thank you for bringing joy to our kids, for allowing them to scrape their knee after sliding down your slide, for getting splinters in their fingers while trying to climb you, for allowing some of them to flip back on your swings, for letting me get stuck in your tire swing knowing damn well my big ass didnt fit....tomorrow you will make some other kids happy!! Good luck to you!!

WE SOLD IT!!

Beautiful Morning Sky

After coming home from a very hard days work and a bit in a bad mood, my husband went and made me a delicious ice cold tea...tells me to follow him and he give me a sweet kiss and says for me to look outside...since he know I am super obsessed with the sky and how amazingly beautiful it can look, my sweety shows me this......

My baby sure knows how to make me feel good!

Flirting Parents??!!

This past weekend, my parents came over and they were chopping down some smalls trees that have been growing a bit too much on the side of the house. They love doing this stuff, but I couldnt help but notice how they FLIRTED WITH EACH OTHER!!!! EEEWWWWW!!! Just kidding.

I think its super cute how after 30yrs of marriage they still got the hots for each other!! Check them out!!

Brotherly Love
