Catching Up

Hello friends! I have experienced my first writers block. Too soon? No, truthfully, I have been super busy lately. There are so many great things happening for me right now, I don't even know where to begin!

I went to the doctor last week. For most pregnant women, going to the doctor is an exciting time. Something to look forward to every month. Yeah... Not for this gal. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE hearing my little girls heartbeat. It's amazing. As a first time mommy I'm constantly wondering if everything is okay, so a strong heartbeat is always nice to hear. I absolutely dread stepping on that scale every month. It literally gives me anxiety. My doctor has zero bedside manner. He never smiles. I'm terrified of him. Everyone keeps insisting to me that he is the best man for the job even if he isn't the sweetest. I can handle that. I know he is just trying to make sure the baby is as healthy as possible, but sheesh! At least he is easy on the eyes. ;) Within the last few weeks, my swelling has become out of control! Here's a helpful hint.. If you are planning (I obviously was not) on having a baby, try and plan to NOT be pregnant in the middle of summer. The heat is almost too hard to bare. I think it has contributed a lot to my disappearing ankles. When it comes to my weight, I have accepted my fate for the time being; However, I can't wait to get back to my old self again! I have never been more excited to work out. Tatum is perfectly healthy, and measuring about a week ahead of time. I have a feeling she will be big!

This past weekend was a very special one! On Saturday, my Aunt Glori, and cousins, Abby and Dulce, threw me the best shower ever! It was so perfect. The food was so yummy, the decorations were beautiful, and I was surrounded by my favorite people all day. I was, and still am, so overwhelmed with the amount of love Tatum and I were shown on Saturday. I could cry just thinking about it. I got to see family members that live far away and family that I see all of the time. I had all of my best friends (Tatum's Aunties) in the same place at once. My mom got to spend time with her best girls (The Fatas.) Both of the Grandma's were there. It was just a great day! Words can't describe how thankful I am. Oh, and it's safe to say that if Tate wants to show up early... All of her needs are covered. Well, except for the nursery.  So, I would like to send a special thank you to Aunt Glori, Abby, and Dulce. You guys worked so hard making my shower amazing. I love you so much!

The 10th anniversary of 9/11 was yesterday. It really effected my more than I expected. It brought back all of the emotions I felt ten years ago when it all happened. I mostly felt very sad, but I still sometimes get a little angry when I think about it. Most of us got to go to bed that night knowing that our families were safe, but so many people were still searching for their loved ones for days to come. It breaks my heart. I know people struggle everyday, but I hope the friends and families of the 9/11 victims have somehow found peace. I'm so thankful for all of the men and women who keep us safe everyday and night.

Once again, I would like to say thanks to everybody who made my shower amazing. I have the greatest people in my life. Everything is going perfectly right now. FALL IS ALMOST HERE! Who isn't super excited about that? I hope I still fit into my Ugg boots. Even if your not a fan of cold weather, I know there are plenty of latte lovers out there that are very happy for the return of the fall choices at Starbucks! :)  I'm very much looking forward to the next chapter of my life. Tatum will be arriving in less than two months. Wow. I will keep everyone updated on anything going on with baby and me! Stay classy San Diego. (I just had to...)
