Is it me or is the world spinning crazily out of whack? I have been very crazy busy of late and a I must admit a little anxious. However, nothing bad is happening, knock on wood.
We had a fun weekend. Nick had his first primary program at church. This is where all the young kids put on a program for the adults during our regular meeting. He did very well. He had a one sentence part, "We know we are children of God." He was near the very end. He said it but unless you were listening very closely you wouldn't have heard it. Of course, Nate piped up very loudly and announced that he needed to go peepee right before Nick's part. I ran him to bathroom and returned just in time to hear Nick talk. We were sure proud of him.
I must say that we are excited about Nate's progress as well. He is doing excellent. I don't think I will have to buy any more diapers. We haven't had any accidents except for sleep times for a week. We decided to put up bunk beds so the boys could adjust before the baby comes. Well Nate is on the bottom and Nick is on the top. Nate rolled out of bed the first night. Scared us both to death. So we have invested in some side railings.

Well as for me, I officially had my ultrasound last week. The baby looks very healthy with no problems detected on the ultrasound. He definitely has a Suarez head though. It is very round like his dad rather than oblong. Oh yeah, his head is still ahead of the rest of his body. I have been really beginning to feel his movements lately. It took a while for me to feel much because the placenta is wrapped nearly all the way around the uterus. This is not causing any problems except acting as a cushion so the baby has his own built in punching bag. He is currently sitting breach or horizontally. His head is on one side and his feet on the other. I feel very pregnant and feel like there is already no room left in the abdomen. Boy is it going to be a long third trimester.

However I have to brag about one small accomplishment. I have succeeded in going through the 15 boxes of clothing in the storage. I gave away three boxes of clothes and will be excited to see most of it exit the house permanently after this baby uses them.

I hope all of you are surviving the wallstreet turmoil and are relatively happy.

Gender News!

Well to all of you who have been anxiously sitting at the edge of your seats to know the gender of the next one... The family went to the doctor today and we got an ultrasound. We are having a new baby brother!
We are excited, but probably not as excited had it been a sister. The doctor says the baby looks healthy and everything is going great so far. Of course, we have a baby that has a large head. His head size is about three weeks ahead of the rest of his body. I was very excited to hear this news. Believe you me! I guess we will probably be inducing this one as well. I don't think I know how to make babies with small heads.
Now the name debate begins... any suggestions?

Hello

Hello all friends!

Because I do not correspond well by email. I have decided to go ahead and setup a blog so that everyone can keep up with the news in our family and with me. I will try to update at least biweekly if not weekly.

So where to start? Just a quick bio of our family. Porfirio (my husband) is a sales manager for Royal Prestige with his network and business covering much of the western states. I am a stay at home mom with two young boys. Nick is four years old and just started preschool. Nate is two years old and loves to talk your ear off. And we are currently waiting for the final member of our family who will arrive in February.

We are currently very busy. We enjoyed a wonderful summer with trips to Portland and more recently to Dinosaurland here in Utah. We also enjoyed some time and Bear Lake and shorter trips to Park city and wonderful family reunion in Idaho with Grandma and Grandpa.

I have been very busy harvesting and canning the vegetables from my garden. I have a wonderful crop of tomatoes and I have been canning spaghetti sauce and now salsa. Nick just turned four years old and we built a backyard playground for him and his brother of course. We finished just in time to have a birthday party on the playground with some of Nick's friends. Now Nick has started preschool. I can't believe that he is already old enough to be in preschool. He wishes it was the big elementary school but is okay for now. I am really proud of him because he knows his letters and numbers, colors and shapes, and many other things. I am sure it won't be long before he is reading.

Nate is a precocious little two year old. I am currently potty training. He is doing very well. I hope it is a completed task real soon. Nate will talk your ear off if you will let him. He is also learning very rapidly. I enjoy his laid back temperment.

Porfirio is very busy trying to be successful in this economy. He is gone all the time just trying to put food on the table. We really appreciate his hard work and effort so that we don't go without. We love you Daddy!
