I just wanted to write a quick post about this week.  We began, last Saturday, moving into our sweet new pad!  Paul has really really been working his tail off to get our home ready for baby Parker Lane to arrive.  A little background: We were living in a 3 story, two bedroom, townhome – with no yard, a dog, and a baby on the way.  Paul had a rental in one of my favorite FW neighborhoods so we gutted it and revamped it with a very contemporary feel within a 3 month period!  We moved in sans hot water, washer dryer, sofa, dining table, internet, uverse, etc.  It has been a crazy week, but without all of those things to “occupy” my mind I have been able to unpack more easily and “semi-quickly!”  I also, this week, managed to spill an entire cup of coffee inside my laptop and had to get that backed up along with shipping it off to get a new one – amen BEST BUY for providing my MACBOOK PRO with accidental insurance (I am nearly positive that the apple store doesn’t offer that coverage).  Without that insurance purchase I would have been buying a brand new laptop for a hefty price tag!  So, things have been busy and I have been editing and working throughout this week as well, but was unable to log onto here.  We will be induced on Tuesday the 27th with a “water breaking.”  Next week will be quite busy too – OH MY A BRAND NEW BABY IN THE HOME!  We are extremely excited and have been so thankful for all of the kind words, support, and great people in our lives.

I will post some photos once we get more settled in and I have my other photos up and running!

Here is a semi-recent photo of my baby bump – images taken with an iphone and a point and shoot camera.  Parker is literally like a big ole’basket ball on my similar to pre-pregnancy frame.  She also loves to kick me on certain nerves that make me nearly drop to my knees, but I love her little squirming around.  Helps me know how real and human she is.  Paul thinks she will be blonde like me and I think she will carry his Cuban characteristics – we shall see!  Enjoy the beautiful weather – thank you rain for going away today!

Our dog Pete is a really really sweet pooch. I may call him “dumb” or “slow” at times, but he has good intentions. We adopted him back in February just a few weeks before we found out we were going to have a baby. I guess this was our “next step” in our family and relationship – just before the engagement, the wedding, the baby, the new life we were all about to begin! Well, poor Pete has been living in our 3 story town-home and he has gotten a little more husky since entering our fam and leads a pretty dull life (playing chase up and down the levels is as good as it gets). That is, until we go OUTSIDE! Luckily we have a couple of fields next door where he “does his business” and gets to chase sticks, balls, and the neighborhood dogs – who seem to roam around everyday like a wild gang! I just want to give sweet Pete a shout out for putting up with being a big indoor dog for only ONE MORE DAY- tomorrow we are moving into our amazing newly renovated home with a big huge YARD that he can run and play in all day long.

Pete – you rock… and you are precious!

He jumped up on my arm and this is the image I caught.

He LOVES other dogs and gets very nervous around them – hyper nervous!

Unfortunately the field has stickers and they get stuck in his paws 🙁
