On Saturday, Jacob woke up early made breakfast and was waiting on both me and Nevaeh to wake up.  He had decided that we would head to the snow so Nevaeh could experience it for the first time.  I was being a big lazy pregnant grump and didn't want to go but decided to give it a try.  We ended up having so much fun... I am so glad Jacob had such a brilliant idea!  Thanks babe!

Merry Christmas

Hope you Christmas was as wonderful and blessed as ours!

Christmas Eve, all of the Amador grandkids... so far!

The feast Nevaeh set out for Santa, brownies, milk and artwork.

This is what Santa brought for Nevaeh... her 'scooter-scooter'!

MERRY CHRISTMAS from our family to yours!

WHAT

Okay, so if you read one of my last posts you know that my mama and daddy bought us a brand new BEAUTIFUL bed.  My mom said she wished it would bring us good luck with the baby making.... well it worked!  She brought us the bed on Saturday and we got pregnant the following Wednesday.  My mother is pretty awesome and quite amazing!  She cried for about 10 minutes after I told her we were expecting.

Our newest addition is due July 22nd... but according to my latest ultrasound that little one is already measuring 3 days bigger... if that is any indication I am in for a whopper of a child.  Nevaeh was 9 lbs 13 oz, and I've heard that your 2nd tends to be bigger than your first!!   Luckily, I will be scheduled for a C-section a week before my due date BUT unfortunately that will be right around Nevaeh's birthday, and I don't feel like stealing her thunder.  I don't want to start any sibling rivalry the day the new one is born!  I guess we will just have to figure something out, right?!?!  Any ideas?  

Honestly, I don't know who is more excited, Nevaeh or Jacob.  Nevaeh talks about her sister (because she is already convinced it will NOT and I repeat NOT be a boy) non stop, and she talks to my belly all the time!  She rubs my belly and talks softly to her sister, so sweet.  I can't even imagine how she will smother her when she does get here.  

Jacob can't wait for me to start showing!!  He can't wait until he can feel the baby move so he can somehow be a bigger part of the process.  We weren't going to tell anyone (other than immediate family) until at least my 2nd ultrasound.  Well, every time Jacob came home from work he would say "babe, I told someone today".  I couldn't get mad, I knew he was so excited he couldn't help his loose lips!  Who am I kidding... as soon as I saw the baby's heartbeat I started blabbing... and telling all of my friends and neighbors.  

Jacob and I couldn't feel more blessed.  We have been praying for this baby for a LONG LONG time.  We both cried when we finally saw PREGNANT on the stick... it almost felt unreal.  After so many NOT PREGNANTs it seemed as if it was never going to happen.

OH by the way.... my sister Monica is also expecting.  She is just 5 weeks further along than I am.  We will be pregnant together again!!  Can't wait...

Update

here are some recent pics of Vaeh

Nevaeh with Tinkerbell (disney's latest character meet and greet)

Nevaeh and her amazing purchase from Dollar Tree... her pimp hat.

Luckily, nothing much has changed.  Jacob continues to work as hard as he can to support his family, taking as much overtime as one person possibly can. Nevaeh has been LOVING school and being her awesome fun energetic self.  I have been taking care of my family the best way I know how... 

I also have been trying out new recipes at home!  I am pretty much a one hit wonder when it comes to the kitchen but I have been trying my best to dabble into other recipes.  I must admit it isn't as hard as I thought it would be and it is much more rewarding than I thought it would be.  I think I will continue my new exploration in the kitchen until I get someone sick!!

The only bad thing that happened was that a water pipe started leaking over Nevaeh's room.  Unfortunately no one in our immediate family knows anything about plumbing.  We got a few quotes, the cheapest one was $300!!  Fortunately, Jacob's brothers friends husband came to the rescue and fix our pipe practically for free!!  We are blessed... simply blessed!  It is pretty crazy, it took the guy about 30 minutes... I can't imagine the other guy working for 30 minutes and then we have to dish out 300 BUCKS!!   We will have to re-pipe the entire house but we can handle that next year.... we just needed to get that little leak taken care of NOW.

***OH, My wonderful wonderful mother and father bought Jacob and I a brand new bed!!  My mom knew we had  a hand me down since we got married and decided to have one custom made for my birthday.  Let me tell you we have never slept better!!  Nevaeh says, "oh mom, it is so comfortable", too cute.  My mom hopes it brings us luck in the baby making department... we will see, only time will tell*****

Another side note Nevaeh's current FAVORITE SONG is Single ladies, by Beyonce.  She sounds so funny singing it!!

Happy Halloween!!

Nevaeh's Preschool celebrated Halloween today (since she only goes to school Tuesday/Thursday).  There were so many different costumes but my baby looked the cutest!!  She was so excited to show off her Jasmine costume!!

So I have volunteered to make about 48 cupcakes,  a spiderweb cheesecake and a Mouse motel pumpkin for a birthday party tomorrow and it is currently 6:30 p.m. and I haven't started on a thing yet!!  I don't even have all of the ingredients... therefore I am a little stressed out but determined not to let anyone down!  So in other words I am probably not going to sleep tonight. 

Why do I do that, volunteer to do many things before really thinking it through?  Especially when I am not a Martha Stewart wannabe ... I don't even come close!   Well I will let you know how these items turn out... I am off to the store!!
