More baby pictures!

He's the strongest, most handsome genius baby in the world! He's 7 weeks old now, and he's been holding up his head on his own and doing fist-bumps since he was 3 weeks old! He even holds himself up on his elbows by himself. And below is some video of him smiling while his Daddy babbles to him. Love this little guy!!

Hunter is here!!

Sorry it's been so long, but we've been busy with our new little man! He's 3 weeks old now, born on February 6th, and he's the cutest baby ever!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, etc!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year...all of that!  It's been awhile since I posted anything to my blog, but what can I say?  Busy, busy, busy.  Christmas was...stressful.  It's always fun when the in-laws decide to turn my holiday vacation into an exhibition on how crazy they are.  Yippee.  At least I got to sleep in for 2 weeks.  Yay!!  I'm glad to be done with school for the next couple of months, and our little Hunter is due in a mere 5 weeks!  I alternate between being excited and scared out of my mind, lol.  I'm a bit worried at how the dogs will react...they've been "the babies" for so long, I hope they're not too jealous!

Oh, this is the picture of the "new" car we bought!  Had to trade in the non-air-conditioned Aveo for something that won't cook the baby in the summer.  Got a good deal on it, though it needed a new radiator and taillight. But we put those in ourselves and now all is well. 

My best friend Ashley had her baby, Violet Clementine (poor thing, lol), and she's the smartest baby I've ever seen. Seriously. At a month old, if you ask her for kisses, she lifts her head and presses her mouth to your cheek. Not even kidding.  If I hadn't seen it for myself, I would never have believed it.  Here is a picture of her:

Adorable. I can say she's the cutest girl baby alive and then Hunter can be the cutest boy baby alive so Ashley and I don't have to stop being friends, lol.

Alright, Hunter's going Gangnam-style on my bladder again.  I'd like to say I'll be better about posting, but...I probably won't.  At least until after Hunter's born.  Then you can expect a flood of baby pictures; I'm not even going to try to say I won't be one of "those people" who posts millions of baby pictures.  I do it with my dogs, so there's no need to lie to myself.

Have a great new year, everyone!! :D

Baby's room is (mostly) finally done!

So here's Hunter's room! Took me weeks to get those darn trees finished, but...ta-daaaa!  There's still some little things to get done; new lampshades, buy a curtain, get new comforter set for the bed, some artwork for the walls that don't have trees, maybe a rug, but the hard part is over! Huzzah!  Now I can get to work on his baby blanket, which will be a green similar to the green on his walls, a Dallas-Cowboys blue, and a middle-shade or gray.

My baby shower is also on Sunday, which I'm getting excited about. Yay, presents, lol!! :D

We also bought a new (to us) car last weekend, so THAT'S out of the way. Our current car has been great, but it doesn't have an air conditioner, and you can't have a baby in a car sans A/C here in Texas.  Hopefully I'll be able to sell the old car for not too much less than we spent on the new one, and we can use that money to cover the bills while I'm off work after the baby's born.

Baby's room & my 9th anniversary!

This is wall #1 of the baby's room, finally finished after like a month (well, aside from all the touch-ups it needs, which you mercifully can't see in the picture).  But being pregnant and standing up on a stepladder with a can of paint in one hand for extended amounts of time don't mix so well, so I've been taking my time with it.  On the opposite wall, I'm going to do one more tree, a big one up the middle of the wall, and then I'll be done! Well, you know, aside from having the carpets cleaned, hanging curtains, etc., and getting all the furniture put where it needs to go, lol.

 Also, today is our 9th wedding anniversary! I can't believe it's been so long, but in a way, it feels like it hasn't been that long at all.  I love you so much, David! It's been the best 9 years ever, and I can't wait for many more happy years to come. You're the best husband in the world, and you'll be the best Daddy in the world very soon!

LOVE YOU!!!

New baby pictures!

Yay, new baby pictures! He looks like a real baby now, not so much like an alien anymore, lol!  You can even see his little nose!  And the foot picture tickled me so I had to put that up. :D

Everything's going good, according to the doctor. All his organs are good, and he weighs 15 ounces.

Now on to the baby shower, which my mother-in-law has been busy planning, lol. 

IT'S A BOY!!!

Say "hello" to Hunter Joel Regalado! Currently 17 weeks and 3 days "old," lol.  Still due February 11, 2013; at least as far as we know!  We're so excited!  :D :D :D

First baby pictures!!

Our every first baby pictures!  Yaaaay!!  Our sonographer said he/she was "cute," so our baby has officially been complimented already, lol.  It was so cool!!  We could even see him/her wiggling around and everything, which the sonographer said was pretty rare to see this early (I am 9 weeks along today!).  So I guess that means he/she will be hyper, lol. 

It was such a cool experience!! My husband teared up (we knew he would; he's such a softie!).

I have to go buy a baby book soon...

Arguing with my embryo

Embryo:  I have decided that sleep is for chumps, and I won't have a chump for a mother. You're welcome.

Me:  What do you know?  You're the size of a jelly bean.  Go. To. Sleep.

Embryo:  Um, no. Also, I rather enjoy this peeing thing, so you'll be doing that more often. Probably instead of sleeping.

Me:  You know, you're not too small for me to come in there and spank you.

Embryo:  Is that SASS I hear?  Are you SASSING me?  Just for that, beef is going to smell like hot garbage and week-old roadkill for at least the next week and a half.

Me:  Don't test me. If you're old enough argue with me, then maybe you don't need those stinky prenatal vitamins that give me the fish burps for three hours anymore.

Embryo:  Hey, if you want a half-retarded baby, that's on you.

Me:  If you're going to keep me up anyway, then maybe I'll take up drinking coffee and tequila. I bet you'll fall asleep if you're drunk.

Embryo:  Guess what?  You're going to crave cat food at some point during your pregnancy. I'm not going to say when or for how long, but it's happening.  Brace yourself.  Also, I'm going to love Dad the most. 

Me:  This is what I get for taking those expensive vitamins. An evil genius jelly bean baby.  Awesome.

Embryo:  Ain't it though?

Me:  "Ain't" is not a word.  You will use correct grammar while in the womb.  I won't have my offspring sounding like an ignoramus.

Embryo:  Don't make me take away ice cream.
