Paranoid Andriod

Yesterday was absolute torture. We went for a blood test to check my numbers have doubled. I waited for hours to get the results which turned out to be perfectly fine. I have yet to have one symptom so that’s why I was so nervous. Antz played volleyball last night and I went to watch. A few people asked why I wasn’t playing so I could spill the beans. We are making Expecting cards to give to all our friends and family. I wanted to buy these but they only have 4 available and Antz assured me he can make them for free!

Antz Version
We will work on them over the weekend. I am not sure what paper to use. Antz wants to go to Michaels but I don’t think they will have the cardstock I want. I really want them embossed but we are on a budget *I dispise that word* and most people will most likely throw the cards away
Our first official ultrasound is next Tuesday. I hope we get a pic. Speaking of pics, this is the sweetest pic of Lola ever

We are having dinner with Antz sister, Debra tonight. Friday we are going to Paramount to see Capitalism: A Love Story.

O…M…G…!

I cannot believe it!

We went to the doc this morning for a blood test. I get the results this afternoon *fingers crossed*
I couldn’t go home after the doc so I drove around Pasadena and I found a gorgeous Catholic Church. I wanted to light a candle but they were all lit, so I just said a few prayers. Antz is estatic, I am beyond stunned. I woke up at 4am and had to pee so I took the hpt. I tried to play it cool but I peeked and saw the Preggo!! I grabbed the camera and took some pics *which came out awful* and tried to go back to bed. I couldn’t stop grinning so I woke up Antz and showed him the pics. He had no idea what I was showing him so I showed him the stick. We are both elated, over-the-moon, all the cliches you can think of. I never knew this was going to happen for us. We only told our doc and my acupuncturist, Gilli the good news. It sucks we can’t tell our family yet because Antz Mom is having a birthday party this weekend and his favorite cousins are coming in from Mexico. Knowing us, we may spill the beans early but for now the plan is to wait until next week to confirm the blood test. I have never felt more grateful in my life. My life feels so perfect! I can’t wait to start this journey.

bonne peine!

I really, really want to learn French. I want our child to be fluent in Spanish and French. His Grandmother will teach him Spanish. I took 7 years of Spanish so I can speak it adequately, but I want to speak French to our bebe. For some reason, I have not been able to retain French, I have made flash cards, read countless books and listened to French podcasts. I enrolled in a French class at a community college last year but I felt out of my element and it was quite difficult without any prior French basis. I dropped out the first week. Maybe at my age, my ability to learn a new language is slowing. I am considering the Rosetta Stone software, I hear it is very successful.  Ideally, I would learn if I spent a year in Paris *sigh*. When I was in Paris I didn’t attempt French at all because every person we came in contact with spoke English.

Hopefully, I will learn it before our bebe is born *that gives me 9 months* Such an optimist!  My Mom may be coming into town next week but this week is at a stand still. Antz is playing volleyball tonight, I have not decided if I will go watch him play. It gets annoying when everyone asks me why I’m not playing. Saying I’m sick doesn’t seem to be enough, they want to know what is wrong and when will I be playing again. I just want to scream I MAY BE PREGGO!! so staying home is an easier option. We have been talking about a much needed vacation but I really want to start saving for the 2012 London olympics and if we spend any money that will mess up my savings plan. If I could go anywhere *without financial worry* I would go to Hawaii. I would love to spend our 10 year anniversary there. However Alaska is peaking my interest as well. Oh well, I’ll be happy if we get a weekend at my Godfather’s house in Palm Springs.
