1st Trimester Final Stretch

Yesterday I had my last 1st Trimester visit where they performed a special ultra sound and I got to see the baby very close and all its details! I still can't believe this. I am approximately 12 weeks and the baby appears to be growing at great speed. We won't know for sure exactly how baby is doing though until 20 weeks, so 2 more appointments. However, next month we will be able to hear the baby heartbeat :)
It is so overwhelming. I wake up and I realize I have someone new to live for and I am so blessed I have been given the opportunity to become a mother. I can't wait to fill my home with overflowing love and give Ivan so much love :) Lots of changes about to happen, we will be moving next month and starting school again. Keep smiling....

Pregnancy Blues

Morning sickness. I hate it. Why? Because it isn't just in the morning, it lasts all day and all night. Nothing sounds good to eat, I literally snack on crackers and fruit all day with ginger ale and if I eat I am absolutely hating it and not enjoying it at all. I am 24/7 nauseous (no idea how to spell that word). I can't sleep and if I sleep its a lousy 3 hours awakened by urges to go to the bathroom. On top of all this, I feel a sadness over me I can't explain. In all my years of life, I never imagined it to be like this. Living in my parents home and my mom taking care of me, lovingly and generously. I seriously feel like a single mom. I am too sick AND tired to even go out and have fun with friends. I am currently at 8 weeks and can't wait for this first trimester to finish. I heard that this is the worst, but every woman reacts differently so i've read. I feel alone and I feel like anyone but my Mom should be helping me right now. I can't begin to tell you how appreciative of her I am, and I am sure going to let her know tomorrow on her birthday.

I know in the end this is going to be all worth it, but gosh how miserable. I just never imagined to be pregnant to be like this...... just have to keep smiling.

New Chapter

At 25, unmarried, and not done with school I never thought this day would come. Two weeks ago I discovered I am newly pregnant. The news was very hard to swallow and digest for both of us, but as time went on, I made the mature and long thought decision to keep the baby and change my life forever. We will continue on with our goals in life, together and at a slower pace, but by no means does this mean life is now limited and we can't get through everything we planned. He has my support and I have his in everything in regards to school and work.

Yesterday was the first doctor appointment and it was life changing, because it has finally hit me, we are going to be parents and have a little Gomez running around next year. I feel incredible, which feels great after the extreme depression and sadness experienced last week. So far I have support from everyone who has heard the news.

Most importantly, I pray this baby is healthy more than anything, 10 fingers and 10 toes, a healthy central nervous system and as it grows it feels our love :)

The search for an warm and safe place to call home together awaits us in the upcoming months, and the journey begins. God bless my new family :)

LA, Houston, Houston to Miami, to Bahamas, Bahamas to Miami

Here are some pictures from our recent trip to Miami and the Bahamas.

Kenny Grant

My dad is just the typical American man. He works hard for his money, plays by the rules, married his high school sweetheart and had two kids of their own. He drives around his white Ford truck with this American flags stickers and is patriotic in every sense of the word. He is my hero. He took his out of financial despair when we needed, and has always given us 101% support in all our family does. And he always gives the best advice, maybe not what you think is best, but later down the road, you will understand why he said what he said at the time. He is he best Dad, boss and Im sure he will make the best grandpa :)


He was recently diagnosed with skin cancer and he is struggling with it. He goes in for check up and they literally scoop out his face and make him bleed horribly. For the first time in my life, today was the day I saw my Dad totally taken down. I've never seen him cry, but I could tell he was depressed and in pain. I pray to God that he makes it through this and I spoke to my brother today and we both agreed he has so much support he has nothing to worry about. XoOxoxoxox I love my Dad <3
