Baby Kaleb James

Yeah, we are having a baby boy!!!!! He looks so cute already. Moving around like nobody's business. He likes pointing at things and turning somersaults. Right now he is kicking my sides and back. (I checked with the doctor and she said that is normal) It isn't gas like Allan keeps telling me.

We are so excited to have a boy. Allan's face jut beamed when we found out. I am 5 months along now and feeling great.

We are getting ready to go and visit Allan's brother in DC before I get too big. (I am finally showing by the way. ) We plan on just eating our way across DC.

4 Months Prego!

I have made it to 4 months. YEAHHHH!!!! Nothing too terribly exciting happening. I think I may have started feeling the baby move but it could be gas. I had an appointment last week and the heartbeat is very strong. I am still tired ALL THE TIME, and I still frequent the restroom every hour or so. (Every 2 hours at night, like clockwork)
Heartburn is the tough symptom I am dealing with these days. But the doctor said there is nothing wrong with taking Tums. Milk also works but I have noticed that milk is starting to make me sick to my stomach now. Hmmmm.
Allan is doing well. He says he is already in love with this baby. He talks to the baby alot. Which can be annoying when I am trying to sleep. We both cannot wait until August 6th. That is the ultrasound appt where we find out boy or girl.
I think I am leaning towards wanting a girl. But I think that I am having a boy. A boy would be awesome too. I know he would look like Allan. Oh my, I can't imagine two of him. I would be outnumbered.
My next post will let you know.

Moving Day!!!

Hello all,

Sunday is the day we move into our 2 bedroom apartment. This is the home where Baby V will spend the first several months of his/her life. I am so excited to start decorating the nursery. Allan and I have been in the one bedrom apartment for 4 years now. Amazing how much junk we piled up in that time. Moving has been a good chance to purge all that stuff. Of course, Allan will probably not like that some of those purged items are video games. (Shhhhh) I remember when I moved out of the dorms at college that I had 6 boxes to my name. All my stuff fit in those 6 boxes. A lot has changed since then. I don't even think that all of Allan's socks will fit in 6 boxes.

Okay, so now some baby news. I am finishing my 14th week and I won't find out until week 18 if the baby is a girl or boy. Allan keeps having dreams about a baby girl. We have fun thinking about what life will be like and how much sleep we are going to get after the baby.
I am still feeling great. Started showing a bit more. I have to go buy my first pair of maternity jeans this weekend. Bring it on!

Love to you all,
Joanne and Baby V

Welcome to the Vasquez Adventure!

Hello everyone,
Allan and I are tremendously excited to have this baby and we can't wait to meet him or her. I am finishing my 12th week and so far so good. I have not been hit with morning sickness and both Allan and I are thankful for that. I am tired ALL THE TIME, almost to the ridiculous point, but I know that it won't last forever and it is for a good reason.
(God is creating a whole new person inside my body afterall.)

I have started to lose my waist line (sniff) and my clothes are getting a bit tight. But I am looking forward to this. So is Allan. He thinks I am more beautiful every day. I love him so much.

Well, when I get a digital camera, I can post pictures. For now, words, words, words.
