Pool Party Shower

Hopefully it will not be as hot as it has been this week, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up (even though you probably heard from Candice already) that the shower is going to also be a pool party so bring your swimsuits!!

Also, I got measured last week again and I'm now 36'' around my belly! My stomach is freakin huge and I can't stop staring at it in the mirror! At least I'm not crying about it...well not this week.... so if you come to the shower you will get a sneak peak at the belly in full effect in a swimsuit!

Last thing is the movement update. At first it was so cute and weird to feel the tiny little movement....but now, geeze! This chick is flipping around and moving all over the place. She is moving so much that I'm getting distracted in meetings and it's even strong enough for Robert to feel it already! Pretty crazy...but I knew this was going to happen after I saw her flip out on the ultrasound screens! Hopefully I will survive as she gets bigger and stronger!!!

Pictures of Cuties!



Ok So obviously I just learned how to add pictures! But I just wanted to put these two on here...
One, to show my beautiful not-so-little sister, Candice when we were at her "congrats on becoming a State Farm agent" lunch. Two, to show me and my preggo belly with my Amy when we went to finally visit her and Doug and see their new house and puppy!

Baby Lexy

I will try to add pictures of my growing belly soon. I just can't find one that I like...

We went to another A's game and had a great time. Robert had a bunch of his peeps from work join us...AMR was in the house! and Candice and Missy and Chris came too. Missy made me a t-shirt that was so cute! It was white and had, in green letters, written across my chest "Big A's Fan" and then across my belly "little A's fan". It was freakin cute!! :)

Also, I finally felt Lexy move! It was so weird because I was lying down in bed at night and I felt this sensation like a big bubble moving and then I freaked out and then waited and I felt it again! I was so excited! Especially since the day before I had a nervous breakdown because I discovered that my stomach is freakin humongous!!! I burst into tears and Robert came running in and asked what's wrong...and I told him...my stomach is gigantic!!!! and kept crying hysterically...and he started laughing at me...so I cried even harder. Hormones are fantastic let me tell you....

Alexya Hernandez

Thank you to Debbie for updating my blog with the good news! We were in shock when we heard the doctor say it was a girl...because all of the old wives tales (you know the ones where if you carry low it's a boy or if you don't have much morning sickness it's a boy etc.) pointed to it being a boy. Well, we all learned a valuable lesson...don't listen to the old wives because they are wrong! :)

It was cool to see Alexya in the ultrasound again...and once again she was wiggling and squirming and spinning around so much that the doctor even scolded her with "stop moving. Where are you trying to go? There's no where for you to go!" I was laughing because this chick is always thrashing around on the screen! Thank goodness I can't feel anything yet! She will definately be playing sports...so her aunt Lauryn can teach her soccer and basketball, and maybe Lauryn and Jenna can teach her some volleyball. We are currently taking volunteers to teach her softball.....(john or grandpa mike??) I will do my best to make sure she watches enough sports center.

Well, another update is that Candice came over last thursday and helped Robert paint the baby's room and then Caleb came over the next day and helped Robert finish it. It looks so beautiful in all it's honey yellow glory..now we are just waiting to put up the A's border and get some green bedding and white furniture in there!....Who's buying her the A's mobile??!!?? :)

We went to Clearlake on Saturday just for the day for the 4th of July celebration. We got there late so we missed the parade, but we got to take Toretto for another swim in the lake and he had a blast! I also got to model my giagantic belly in all it's glory and take a dip in the lake..which felt so weird by the way. I couldn't really get comfortable showing the world my belly so I kept it covered most of the time...but Cheryl saw me w/o my cover on and came running over and told me that I looked great..like a movie star because that's the in thing right now to be pregnant and show your belly in a swimsuit..so I felt so much better! Grandpa and John BBQed hamburgers and hotdogs and we had a huge feast on the lake and played cards. We all had a great time..too bad it was a short visit. Toretto and I slept the entire day yesterday to recover. :)
