End of Summer

Well we are approaching the end of August and before we know it, its September again. My birthday month. I can't believe ill be 25 in a few weeks. Lots of things have happened. School started again this week and this last weekend Ivanne moved into their first new little house in Buena Park. It is nice to be with Ivan now and it feels like its becoming real. My baby bump is slowly growing as I can't believe i'll be 4 months next week. I feel good for the most part, except for the terrible and annoying headaches. That is my only complaint. But yes, for the most part feeling pretty good. Definetely better than the 1st trimester. According to the Doctor everything is going well so far and next month we will be able to find the sex, but of course, we have decided to keep it a surprise till the very end. At the halfway point we will get to see the baby in FULL via the ultra sound :)


It is very bone chilling to look at my stomach and see it slowly grow and get harder and harder each day. And to think that in 5 months I will be a Mom is a mind blowing concept.

Best wishes to a sucessful Fall semester and another month of healthy pregnancy....

Engagement

There are many events in a woman's life she plays through her head a thousand times and waits for the day that it might happen to her. Well, two of those moments has had happened to me recently. Obviously finding out I was pregnant with my first child was one and last night the other occured. A proposal from Ivan. It's funny because I still remember the night I met Ivan and distinctly remember saying to my friend on the way home that evening "I think I met the man I am going to marry". I was 21, intoxicated, with little knowledge of what "love" really was, but somehow I knew I had met him. Through all the ups and downs over the course of the years, Ivan and I have made it through the storms and breakdowns and remain strong. Well as of yesterday, officially he is my fiance and will be the father of my child. Without doubt, I couldn't ask for anyone else.


The ring is absolutely beautiful, It took my breath away. And you know... even though you know the moment is coming (in my case sooner than later), when you see your boyfriend on their knee with a ring it absolutely catches you in a moment you will never forget. Everytime I think of it, a tear comes to my eye. From this day forward, I will always remember August 10, 2011 as my engagement day and 1,000 steps was the place where I got proposed to. Oh, and the song he played will always be remembered in another way also "castate conmigo" by Reyli. I am so in love and nothing feels greater than this feeling and what awaits us in our future.  My days as "Leanne Grant" are few...

Te amo Ivancito xoxoxo
