Here's another picture, a different one..

So it's not one I took, but I love it all the same. It's my first glimpse of the new baby bean. This was done on Thursday and it was so very very early, only 5 weeks 5 days. I have another ultrasound on Oct. 10th, I can't wait for that one. I should be able to see the little heart beating away by then. :) All you can see is the gestational sac (the black oval on the upper right hand corner) and the yolk sac the white circle inside. The actual baby is too small to be seen at this point.

Happy Birthday James!

My nephew turns 7 on Wednesday, but we celebrated his birthday today. We all had fun and I think he got some pretty cool birthday presents. So I took some pictures.
The first one is of Katie and she looks like she's on a sugar high with these skittles.



I promise he was excited about it!. LOL

Samantha'a Birthday Party

So finally here are few shots from Samantha's birthday party. It was too cute to see all the little toddlers sitting around eating cake and ice cream. And I LOVED Samantha's pink converse. :)

Without much further ado!!

I will show you why I haven't been posting much, well other than the pregnancy. :) Check out my website..it's been slightly revamped!! I also worked on creating a flash gallery for my photography. I think it's pretty cute, especially considering my limited skills. Check out my website and my gallery. Enjoy! Oh and I did a shoot on Saturday which I'll probably post pictures of tomorrow.

So exhausted!

I swear I think carrying a baby even early in the first trimester is like running a marathon. I feel like I've been up for days and days, yet Miguel could tell you I have been sleeping A LOT. I haven't even taken any pictures all week. I know, unusual for me. Maybe I am saving it up for tomorrows shoot for Samantha's birthday party. :)
Did anyone hear about the woman who is suing her fertility doctor for $350K, because she had twins? She says that she only wanted one child and the doctors office implanted two embryos, so she had twins. So she is suing for the amount of money it will cost to raise the child. It just irks me beyond belief. As someone who has to take a bunch of meds to get pregnant, I would think she would feel nothing but doubly blessed. Instead she considered giving up one of the twins for adoption. How would she decide which one to toss aside? Flip a coin? How are those kids going to feel if they ever find out that this is what their mom thinks of them? That she didn't really want the second one? And what if they had been naturally occurring identical twins? Meaning twins split from the same embryo? Would she have felt the same way? I think the woman is loony as a toon. If they had enough money for IVF (in vitro fertilization), then I think they can probably afford to raise two kids. I'm thinking that maybe this woman shouldn't have even had one kid, let alone two.

Katie's Big Sister Shirt

I took some pictures of Katie in her brand new shirt yesterday. I thought they turned out cute. I wish I could've gotten some better ones, but these are ok for now.

A Family Party

We went to a party last night to celebrate Miguel's birthday and Chilean Independence Day. We had fun and I know Katie had a blast. I took some snapshots of the night. Connie, I know you'll love me for the first one. (insert evil laugh here)

It was just a pose for the camera right?


I can see all the way down to your toes, Rick!!

Such a ham for the camer

This is one to show your girlfriends in the future.

Happy Birthday Miguel!!

So we went out to eat, shopping, and had cake. I think it was a good other than he had to work a little bit. Katie really enjoyed the cake and Daddy's new toy, the Dragonfly. It's pretty cool. It's a remote controlled dragonfly. I think if I didn't know what it was and saw it coming at me at a park, I'd be pretty freaked. LOL The other day I also got Katie some slippers for wearing around the house. She was so stuck on the Thomas ones. So I got those for her. Here are some pictures of those and from today.

Wow...I just realized I haven't posted since Tuesday. I know I haven't been busy....

Playing house....at Pottery Barn for Kids

Katie got to play with Caleb at the mall today. They played in the play area and then we moved on to Pottery Barn where they played with all their so cool, but so expensive stuff. They played on the bedroom set ups and with their kids kitchen. I can tell you the associates were none too happy about it, but whatever. Try finding stuff to do that doesn't cost anything on a hot day. Cute pics I thought. Kind of like what it's like to take a toddler to the mall. How quickly what she wants to do there will change. :)
