She says, "You did this to me, babe."
*He replies, "FOR you, babe. I did this for you."

32 weeks
the baby's room is slowly coming along, this is the spot I like the best, thanks Mel for the wonderful idea to decorate the room using Mexican artesanias, I love peeking into this room if just for a moment to look at all the color :)

Let's just do it right now
31 weeks, unless you were wondering...
Ya sure, some people may be taking Hawaiian vacays, sippin mai tais and eating black sand right off the tropical beach, but not us. Nope. We're down in the trenches of almost-parenthood, counting the days we've got left to, according to the advice of many other parents, get some sleep while we can. In keeping with savoring our child-free existence, we've also resolved to live a non-family friendly lifestyle as much as possible til the baby arrives, meaning lots of binge drinking and cigarette smoking, etc. Nothing says, "I'm gonna be a mom," like lightin up a stog and pounding a Bud Light Chelada tall boy, while daddy2be is up all night on pokerstars.net, smashing Mountain Dews and smelling like an old gym sock. Oh yeah, that's us folks.
IRL, we ARE counting the days while we try to imagine how our lives are gonna change. BTW, Karla says that her cousin and his wife got some real cute presents at their baby shower, and even though people can't buy gender-specific clothes, she thinks that everyone will be very creative and not curse her because they don't know whether its gonna be a boy or a girl when shopping for gifts.
Other announcements:
*Happy retirement to Karla's mom and tia
*Congrats on another addition to the family with Joy's baby
*Congrats to Dan and Lisa Way on their nuptuals
Here's a pic entitled, "Eating for Three," cuz we know our fans are hungry for photos on these things...

Diaper debate/debacle
On the subject of cloth vs. disposable diapers, I offer you the the "DIY Diaper," a stroke of pure man genius.
You'll need only two common household items to pull this one off: a scrunchie (for holding up ponytails and the like), and a supply of plastic grocery bags (or only one if you wanna reuse it). You may be able to put the pieces together from here. But, I've got a how-to anyway.
Step 1) After cleaning up the baby's affected areas, hold the baby upright and place your baby's bottom half in the bag.
Step 2) Fasten the plastic bag around the waist with the scrunchie and you're done!
*I know what you're thinking... where do I find the time? Ahhh ;)

30 weeks!!
im starting to get real nervous/excited/scared, with a max of 10 weeks to go, Kevin and I will have a baby in our arms in no time....I had a dream a few nights ago in which the baby was a boy!!! black hair, little eyes, the cutest, so now I can say I dreamt about my baby no matter the sex since I've dreamt of a little girl and a little boy. If it's a little boy, I think Kevin will just soil himself in excitement, I'm sure he'll wanna dress him in his same style and take him to get weekly matching haircuts...oh but a little girl would be so much fun, she'd be in dresses with chanclitas and ponytails all the time, a girl can dream.. :) I'm getting the linea negra or black line below my bellybutton, I can honestly say I just realized this once i took the picture since I haven't been able to see the bottom half of my belly or anything below, for that matter, in several months!!!
