58 days!

My God, can the day be here any faster! Many people have asked me are you ready? are you nervous?, etc. But honestly I am just excited to hold this beautiful lil girl in my arms! Her arrival is much anticipated by both Juan and I. I think more for Juan than for me, because he doesn't have that bond the we have since she has been in my tummy for 8 months!! I worry about how it will change our life and our relationship, since a lot of first time parents have shared their experiences about having a newborn in the house, and how its improved or hurt their relationship. I can only hope that the baby will make us stronger and bring us closer together. Juan and I are so much alike but at the same time very different, that i know there will be a lot of differences in our parenting style, but I pray that we reach a common ground for the well being of the baby.

Its funny to hear Juan talk about the baby or even try to talk to the baby. Sometimes it seems so silly to have him talking to my tummy, but more often than not Abby will respond by kicking or moving all over the place. :) These are memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Just like moving in to the new house, fixing it up and fixing up the nursery for Abby. Another wonderful memory I will cherish for ever, is Juan asking me what kind of toys we were going to buy Abby for Christmas!! I looked at him with a huge smile on my face, and didnt know what to respond. After a minute or two...I looked at him and said "Sweetheart, I think we should wait to buy her toys until she is old enough to play with them". I think he was a bit upset at my response but he'll survive. You just gotta love him!!

At 8 months, I am finally starting to feel preggers!! Up to this point I have had a very easy pregnancy but now my feet are VERY swollen... I guess that means no more heels for me! :( Other than swollen feet and occaisional Braxton-Hicks, everything else is great.

The 4D ultrasound on Friday was AWESOME!! I always love going to ultrasounds because you can see the lil munchkin. I remember her 5 month ultrasound, where she was sporting all of her daddy's facial traits...she has his chin, eyes and overall facial features...in addition to being very long (I'm guessing she will be tall like her daddy). During the 4D ultrasound we confirmed that she will have her daddy's crazy hair!! She is going to have a full set of hair!! Even the technician was in shock at how much hair she has!! The only thing we can tell she will have from me is my lil lips, and I can only hope she will have my brains!!

I know I have been really bad about posting pics but I'll try to post them ASAP!!
