I want Mommies opinion

Everything is going good over here. I am getting bigger and bigger and wonder just how big I am gonna get. A few days ago I went and bought Halloween candy for the tricker treaters....we'll it turned out I bought it for myself. Than I realized this is just the beginning of the holidays (scary thought). I think it should be a rule if you are prego during the holidays than it's okay to gain an extra 5-10 lbs. So than I began to day dream ahead and thought "Okay, the next baby I will plan for the summer months." Than I was horrified of the thought of putting on a swimsuit. Sooo... to all you moms "which season is it best to be pregnant in?"
Wait until Joel reads this and knows I am already thinking about the next one (he'll die). I tease him all the time and tell him I am mexican and this is just the beginning. My pregnancy has been going so well I tell him "it turns out I am good at this."
I can't wait for the holidays...no not for the food but b/c I can't wait to see all of the family.
I am also looking forward to Nov5-8th. I am going to Cali to see my parents and extended family. I can't wait for my mom to see my growing belly. They are gonna gave a baby shower while I am out there and I am gonna get to see all my aunts and cousins.
Also, I was thinking about having a coed baby shower in Dallas. What do ya'll think about that? This is Joel's first as well and I just want him to experience how welcomed this baby is.

Joel's funny personality

As you all know Joel has a very funny personality and pregnancy has just added fuel. I was reviewing with Joel what all I think I need for the baby (probably really Don't need). Joel taps on my belly and says "hurry up and get out and get a job! You are already costing way too much." hehe
This morning I was discussing with Joel that I think I have the baby sitting situation handled. He said " Good, does that include him being alone any? Because I want him to be independent."
One more...Every time I go to the bathroom Joel says "Did your water break?"
I am glad Joel is keeping his funny personality in my pregnancy and hopefully in parenting too. He's definitly keeping me laughing.

Sister's House

Last night I was explaining to Joel that the baby always stayed to one side. Joel said he thought the baby was snuggling up to my bladder and the baby probably thinks it is his brother.....and that he will be disappointed to find out it is not.
My belly is "itching" today....hope that does not mean future stretch marks!
Went over to sister's today. Neal was sweet and just talked and talked. It's so sweet to hear how he thinks. Nicole is a sweet baby and getting bigger. Nathan is sick and not feeling good.

Finally started!

After much urging (complaining) from family members, I finally found the time to start a blog. With Joel's computer help of course. As most of you know I have not embraced the computer as much as some - so maybe this will help me keep you informed and cut down on other emails.

For those of you that don't know yet, it is going to be a BOY. Growing everyday and everything has been easy so far. (sorry Erica) I feel great except for when Joel says that I look like a snake that has swallowed a large animal.

Joel and I went to the baby store to get an idea of what we will need. I have a feeling that this will be left largely up to me. For all you moms to get a laugh - Joel wanted to know why we even needed a stroller!! Then I realized how much he has to learn.

We miss everyone and hope to see everyone during Thanksgiving. Joel is especially looking forward to seeing Jonathan and the new baby, as we all are.

I will try and learn how to post pictures and other useless stuff.
