Belly Bean

So we brought back an unexpected souvenir from Florida.... I'm pregnant!
I was hesitant to say anything right away but then I seen a little fluttering heartbeat and I can hardly wait to tell everyone. I'm really excited- it doesn't seem to have sunk in with the husband- I'm sure it will once I start showing or when we find out what we are having.
I am also quite upset that there is a shit-ton of crap that people should tell about pregnancy- like you can bleed, you are the most bloated you will ever be in your life... ya know the stuff you really need to know.

We are due January 5th, but I'm hoping our little friend will make a December appearance... mostly because our deductible will be met and then we can count him on our taxes. I have noticed that I keep calling the baby a 'him' but deep down I think that it's a girl.... Mondo really wants a boy first... so I guess we'll see!

Baby Xander

So I wasn't far off in my prediction about my friend having her baby- Her shower was Saturday and she had him on Monday. Little Alexander was born on May 6th and he is a doll :)
He had some jaundice issues and spent a few extra days in the hospital but once he was home his mama and dad were wanting to get some pictures of the little guy. Since I like the practice I volunteered my services, these are a few of the results:

Little bugger trying to lift his head already!

Ol' Blue

So I've decided to sell my car. For several reasons this is a very good decision for me, at the same time I will miss my little car very much. It was my very first brand new car, when I bought it there were only 30 miles on it. It has moved me from my parent's to my first house, taken me on many'o girl's trips to Vegas and been there through snow and rain.
I am going to use the money from my car to pay off one of my student loans and my credit card. Along with not having a car payment anymore this will save me mucho dinero every month, allowing me to put some money in savings and pay down my other student loans. I am currently driving a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer, a big difference from my cute little car- but it will serve it's purpose and.... It's just a car :)

Baby Robinson

My bestie is having a little boy, probably really soon because she is already dilated to a 4 :)
I threw her a baby shower and everything came out really great- she got a lot of presents, diapers and all kind of stuff for this little kiddo.

Oh, my good friend

I LIKE CUPCAKES!

I love how cute my friend's belly is! 

I can't wait to meet this handsome little man!!!

Florida... not Flo Rida

So I named this post Florida... not Flo Rida because it has taken me a really long time to realize that Flo Rida, the rapper, is named after the state ok Florida... derp. I'm kind of slow :)
But this post is really about our family vacation to Florida. The whole fam damily went, my mom, dad, sisters, brothers-in-law, nephew and husband. I was so excited becuase it's the first time I have seen my sister Becky since she moved to Texas with her husband in January.
We all flew in and met at a military hotel on Disney property, Shades of  Green (I thought it was because of the surrounding golf courses, but apparantly it's because Camo is 'shades of green'.... again- derp)
Everyone arrived safe and sound, we enjoyed a week of 80 degree weather and went to all the parks: Disney World, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Universal and Islands of Adventure.
High Points: The Hulk roller coaster, Harry Potter World, seeing my family, not being at work, being with my nephew for a lot of firsts (Pop Rocks anyone?), free popcorn at the sports bar at the hotel.
Low Points: ALL THE CRYING KIDS, when the crying kid was with us :(, having to pay so much for everything, humidity, having to say Good bye to Becky and Mike again :(
Monkey did pretty well considering he is only two years old, only a few tantrums. I thought he did exceptional compared to the other little kids we seen, full on freaking out in the middle of the "Happiest Place on Earth"
I usually like more low-key vacations, but this was fun in a different way- pretty commercial but at least we have those memories. Armando has vetoed amusement parks for the next ten years though- I'm kinda ok with that though. A week was enough for me.

Dobby...err... Doggy

I love the Harry Potter books. They are lovely stories and very well written so I have no problem saying I've read them and am a grown ass woman. Twilight? Those books are crap... but anyways. I was watching The Deathly Hallows the other day and Mondo mentioned that the dog looks like Dobby, the house elf... I don't see it, do you?

Oh Boy!

While I have had some trouble in the baby making department, my best friend has had better luck than me... This little miracle was two years in the making and it gives me hope that it will happen for me as well.

My bestest friend in the world is having a little boy in May and she let me torture take her pictures for practice... I got this really nice camera from my husband (he has this thing where he has to have the nicest of everything possible- I said 'I want a nice camera' translated into 'Please buy me a professional grade camera with lenses, carrying case, etc') and have had no one to practice on except my poor dog... please expect more picture of him in the near future :D

Kinda looks like Brady kidnapped her but I still liked it.

I'm so excited for this little man to show up! But first I will finish planning her bad ass baby shower, woot woot!
