Doctor's Appointment

This morning I was running a little bit late.. as always..
For some reason I don't have any trouble getting up to get my husband's lunch ready (at 5:00), but then I go back to sleep around 5:30 to get up at 6:30 and I end up getting up at 6:40 or 6:50.
I didn't have any time to get my regular coffee, so I decided to stop at starbucks, I had a Caramel Machiatto like always.. I swear I drank that thing, and that baby was jumping off my belly!
I'm soo excited, I have my 34th week doctor appointment and I have an appointment to go do the ultrasound soon..
I'll keep you posted....

Labor and Delivery Tour- Comments about it

It was kind of exciting.. I was nervous to go in and see where my life was going to change forever (although it already has)
They show you a video of "open mindness" towards medication during delivery.. Like I've said.. or maybe I haven't, I would like to have an all natural delivery... Plenty of Pros not many Cons, with the exception of Pain..
I don't think I'm afraid of pain.. our body was created to tolerate childbirth, and our ancestors used to deal with it.. why is it the modern society has to have "pain killers"?
I don't have anything against it.. but it's only once.. and it's for a beautiful cause.. the birth of your child...I'm not saying that I won't be flexible, if the time comes and my body is asking for it.. then we will see what happens.. but that's my 2 cents on that.
They take you through the nursery, NICU, the Labor and Delivery rooms.. past the Post-Partum Rooms..
I saw myself at the L&D room and I freaked! I could be there in less than a month!
I was so hungry and then after that we took a little trip to TJ to have some Sopes and Tostadas.. we wanted tacos too, but we were too full, so we just came back home...
and that was our day.

Questio-Rama

Because we never really know each other as well as we think, in response to this post I'd like you to ask a question. Anything about which you are curious, anything you feel you ought to know about me. Silly, serious, personal, fannish. Ask away. Then copy this to your own journal, and see what people don't know about you.Lets see just how many readers I have...BRING IT ON!!!

Mucus Plug

So I believe I've lost my mucus plug as of yesterday night.. Let's see how that goes, I was having major contractions (I guess not like the real ones, but pretty strong ones) I emailed my doctor and, she said to wait until this Friday for my monthly check up..
I was reading about the mucus plug.. and it's a pretty interesting thing.. It's a build up of mucus that covers your cervix and then your water breaks... it can take up to 4 to 6 weeks until you start labor.. or it can happen before... :/
Let's wait until Friday for a New Update

Para una Madre sus hijos son preciosos

Antier mientras visitaba a mi mama, hablabamos de que no todos los hijos son bellos.. y que hay veces en las que nosostros, personas ajenas a la familia o solamente no tan cerca, decimos "que bebes tan feos" o "esta fellito" o "le dieron en la torre" "se parece a su mama" o "se parece a su papa"
Termine con el comentario de "por favor si mi bebe llega a estar fellito, no sean malos, y esperen a que me vaya para que hagan sus comentarios." que en todas familias hay. Hasta de grandes tambien decimos.. "ay sus hijos estan todos fellitos"
Y ayer mientras visitabamos a mi tia, hablabamos sobre esa historia que yo siempre habia oido decir.. "Mama Cuervo" no sabia a que se referian.. hasta que hoy busque la historia y aqui les va...

Habia una vez hace mucho tiempo, un bosque muy grande, con altos y frondosos arboles y en ellos vivia una mama cuervo con sus polluelos, todos los dias ella iva por la mañana a buscar comida para sus hijos y volvia al medio dia, pero un dia, cuando llego al nido, no escucho el mensaje de bienvenida de sus hijos, sino que solo encontro silencio por respuesta a sus llamadas, preocupada bajo y se encontro con mama ardilla y le pregunto:--Perdone Señora ardilla, ¿ha visto a mis hijos?y la ardilla le respondio:--Digame Señora Cuervo, como son sus hijos, porque ella hacia unos momentos habia visto unos polluelos perdidos.--Mis hijos son 3 preciosos polluelos, con pequeñas plumas que parecen algodon de suaves que son y con un piar dulce que te llega al almaLa ardilla se quedo pensativa y le respondio:--Pues no señora, no he visto a sus hijos, lo sientoContinuo caminando y se encontro a mama conejo con su ristra de conejitos y le hizo la misma pregunta:--Perdone Señora Conejo, ¿a visto usted a mis hijos? --Seria usted tan amable de decirme como son sus hijos señora cuervo?--Mis hijos son preciosos, pequeños y con unos ojos que pierden de tanta ternura.La señora conejo se quedo pensando, ya que hacia un momento habia visto unos pajaritos pequeños, pero no coincidia con la descripcion de la señora cuervo, asi que sin dudarlo le dijo--No, no los he visto, lo siento muchoY asi se encontro con varios animales mas, hasta que ya cansada y muy preocupada encontro a mama zorro, que en cualquier otra situacion hubiera huido nada mas verla, pues le tenia mucho miedo, pero el amor por sus hijos fue mas fuerte y le pregunto lo mismo:--Perdone Señora Zorro, he perdido a mis hijos, ¿los ha visto usted? y la zorro viendo la preocupacion de la cuervo y siendo ella misma madre comprendio la situacion de mama cuervo y por un momento un miedo iva subiendo por su garganta y le dijo: Digame Señora Cuervo, ¿como son sus hijos?La Señora Cuervo le comenzo a describir a sus hijos:--Son unos polluelos preciosos, con un plumaje suave y terso, un piar que emociona el solo oirlo y una mirada tierna e inocente, en fin que son los pajaritos mas hermosos del mundo.La Señora Zorro suspiro aliviada y le respondio.--Pues no Señora Cuervo, no he visto a sus hijos, yo acabo de comerme unos pajarillos pero para nada son sus hijos, pues los bichos que yo me he comido eran unos pajarillos horribles, con unos hojillos saltones,unas plumas asperas y un graznido infernal, no paraban de graznar y me los comi.La Cuervo, en una mezcla de lamento y lloro grito: Ayyy esos eran mis hijos.

No cabe duda que nuestros hijos son bellos.. a pesar de lo que dice la gente

A COLD/FLU

Last night I slept so good, I've had this cold for about 2 Weeks now, and I've been surviving of Tylenol and Cinnammon Tea...
I've had it.. Yesterday I emailed my doctor and he advised me to buy some Benadryl.. omg..
I couldn't wait to get off work and get to walgreens so I could buy something.

I took some before we started doing laundry, by the time we were done... I was sooo out... I was knocked out! I had not been able to sleep good.. but last night was just great!

The baby has Dropped

This morning as I was laying down.. and I was just making time because we were supposed to go to the Childbirth classes, I felt that the baby was lower than normal.

I get up.. and of course the baby is lower than normal ...

ChildBirth Classes

So we cramed about 6 classes in two 6 hour days... Pretty interesting

We got to see soo many things.. some things I already knew.. and some I didn't.. but Pretty much everything was interesting..

On this first day I took Chantal.. my youngest sis in law.. she is cool.. very quiet and she listens and learns like a little sponge...
I was kind of scared taking her.. because of course they were going to show a woman in labor.. and well for her to see those kind of things.. It went well!

Our Teacher was pretty weird.. and freaky... but funny


Class breaks down as follows

Class 1. The basics of pregnancy, pregnancy adjustment, nutrition, and exercise. A look at pain in pregnancy, labor and birth and the beginnings of coping with pain.

Class 2. Comfort measures during pregnancy and labor/birth, pre labor, timing contractions, relaxation.

Class 3. First stage labor: from beginning to end. What to expect, how to cope and answers to questions like "When should I go to the hospital?" and "Is this the real thing?" Also emphasis on being a great labor support person.

Class 4. Second and Third Stage labor (pushing and placentas), birth plans, doulas, and lots of neat tips!

Class 5. This class will focus on medications, interventions and complications.

Class 6. Postpartum adjustment, newborn care (diapering, bathing, cord care), sex postpartum your 6 week check up, bleeding, and postpartum depression.
