Lately

As I have said before, I am working from home now so I can be with Allisandria more. I have been home now for a few weeks and I am totally loving it. I still totally miss the salon I was at and seeing everyone a couple times a weeks, but working from home has been so convenient for me. I work while Pia is asleep at naptime and I work a night or two when Dave is home from work, and then a few hours on Saturdays. It is so nice not having to put the burden of a toddler needing to be babysat on my friend anymore. All of my clients that have followed me home have been super supportive of me and my decision to be at home with my family. I am so grateful that I have a skill that allows me to bring in $$ while being home. I couldn't ask for a better home to be living in either. The front of the house has a small bedroom and full bathroom that I use as the Salon and the Shampoo area. Heidi was so sweet to give me my shampoo sink for my birthday a couple years ago. Now I have everything I ever need.

Lately I have been feeling quite grateful for many things. A couple weeks ago, Dave's Dad, Sam, and his stepmommy, Sally, came into town for a few days. Allisandria loves grandma's and grandpa's so she was quite excited. The words "bapa bapa" were the only ones I heard the whole time they were with us. They always bring her a little gift when they visit. This time she got a whinnie the pooh car/plane that she sits on and rides. The propellers move, and there are little shape blocks she can put in the seat. It plays music and she absolutely loves it. They are such sweet grandparents to her and she loves them so much.

During their stay, Dave drove them up to Sedona for the day. They enjoyed trolly tours and great food along with the beautiful scenery Sedona had to offer. I missed out on the outing, because I had appointments that I couldn't reschedule, but I know they loved the little drive and enjoyed spending quality time with Dave and Allisandria alone. Thanks for visiting Sam and Sally, we love you guys.

29 weeks

I went to Boise ID for my sweet cousin, Carly, babyshower. She is due the 10th of Dec. and is having a little boy. I wanted to go and celebrate with her. I haven't seen her since I was pregnant last time, so we were over due for a visit. She is my older cousin by 2 years but a good 2 heads shorter. So it is only natural for my belly to sit on top of hers. I love this girl. She is one of my most favorite people.

Here I am at a whoppin 29 weeks. This pregnancy has been different. I really dont' feel pregnant most of the time. Sometimes I forget I shouldn't be doing or lifting certain things. At my last doctor's appointment, Dr. said that I was measuring big, but that I wasn't showing very much. My little girl is hiding in there, but when I lay down to rest at night, I can feel her larg body across my whole stomach. We will see next week when i get my 3D if he thinks we should move the due date up.

more Halloween

Allisandria and Gabriella. Best of Friends.

Gabby wasn't afraid of the skeleton. It even reaches out and it didn't phase her. Sweet girl, Allisandria ran the other way.

Our car all decorated at the "Trunk or Treat" I was hidden under my cloak.

Becca, Gabby, Me and Allisandria...oh wait the skeleton. Allisandria didn't want much to do with me that night. I was too scary for her I guess. Notice Gabby smiling at the Skeleton.

26 weeks

This kid is kickin all over. My right leg is now going numb, and it is hard to put socks on. Allisandria pats my belly and says "baby" or "beba"(bella). No extra stretch marks,( dont' know where any more could fit from the last time.) feeling good.

Another skirt I made for Allisandria.

Daddy took a day off work so we could go to the Phoenix Zoo. IT was soo beautiful. Weather was perfect.

Halloween Day was a good Day, not only was it fun to dress up, but it was my last day of work at the Hair Salon. It was bittersweet, but very fun. Glad to be home now.
