SniffSniff
Anywho, doctor did recommend a humidifier to help w/her breathing, awwww! and also precsribed benadryl to help stop some of the mucus development.. So, here we are HOPING to get over this nastyness!! My poor Leanna hardly ever gets sick! but i'm glad i called medical first thing in the morning, a weekend was good enough for me to deal with, and to think i was just thinking it was allergies!

days go by
Here goes nothing; It's midnight; I'm hungRy once again, irritated over who knows what and listening to him snoRe! hmm, that's pRobably what has me iRRitated. [lol]
::breath:: I ate a few gRapes like 30min ago, and i was a bit fiLLEd and now, i',m getting hungRy i absoLutely refuse on getting anything else down. I'm beyond thiRsty and constantLy sipping water and constantLy peeing. Ughhhh/ This baby is getting moRe & moRe active as [days go by] and sometimes it scaRes the cRap out of me. seRiously! Right now, i feeling the rubbing sensation from within as if it's sliding it's knee, butt, arm, something across the tummy. And it's not the most comfortabLe feeling, none of it is really. You'd think i'd be used to it, some of it. It's only been 3yrs to the date since I was last carrying a gRowing baby within. LITERALLY!
Hmmmm; if the baby arrives around it's due date [july 4th], Leanna and "it" will be approximately 2yrs, 11mths and 1 weeks apart..WOW! Leanna will be turning 3 [aug 26th] !! So much to look fowaRd to this summer. Now, only IF the doctor can confiRm the baby's gender at the next appt...Let's see; he did say that it looked like a giRl and the lines...blah blah...so, I'm cRossing my fingeRs, I just want to get a complete positive resuLt...RegaRdless if he can ACCURATELY deteRmine the sex or not. We will be getting our own pRivate 4d ultrasound session...when I'm 30+wks along [May/june]. I cant wait to see facial detail, fat on the face, awww, i can't wait!!!! Well, let's see if I can faLL asLeep; this baby has caLmed down some and I need to shake those snoRes outta daddy!!!!

[TIME OUT]
I woke up, thanks to him around 6:30 since he has to be soo loud using the bathroom. In result, I had to use it too. I couldn't fall back to sleep...So, I started myspacing, facebooking, yahooing on my cell, as usual! I started waking Leanna up with tickles anc rubbing of the back. I love when she wakes up smiling and I lover hearing her giggle even more. YES, she was in bed with us. I didn't even hear when she came over. And I usually am the first to hear her walk into the room between the hrs of 1-3AM!! We got outta bed about 7:15, I started with breakfast. I was pretty awake with energy! We ate and then about 8, i felt beyond rushed; ironing our clothes. We were going to get some groceries while daddy wen to his appoinment at 8:30. We dropped him off and headed to Stater Bros., where my brain seemed to escape me! I had a list of a few items and grabbed others along the way. I also grabbed a Promegrate..which I've never tried but have been wanting to. yay!!
I think I'll be trying it in a few! We got a call from a friend once we arrive home and ended going to the park for nearly 2 hrs. Leanna had a good time, she always does. Then ended up going to an indoor playdate where she was her lil friends. Hung out there for an hr or so. By the time we got home it was pushing 2pm. So, I changed her clothes, undies on, pee on the potty, wash hands..and go to bed. She hasnt napped in a few weeks. SO, I was pushing it BUT to my surprise she fell asleep within 10MIN! yay!!
Today was a great day! Even though, I was exhausted through it all, I'm glad she saw & interacted with friends...it's what she enjoys!

One Minute
Hmm, An interpretation of myself. Wow, She;s pretty mellow, easy-going and not too bad of a gal. She's a mother, wife, daughter, sister and BADASS friend. She's someone I wouldn't mind chatting with again.
HAHAH...who knows, most of it sounds TRUE to me...
My Girly GirL
Ironically, a day or two before the new yr rang in. Leanna was all about wearing dresses. So, why not continue her lil girly girl phase. She has plenty of dresses to last her weeks. And she is just the cutest although she's still getting the hang of Hiking it aLL the way up when she uses the potty. Ughh! Even though, the past few days have also been difficult, since she's been doing horribly with using the potty!
::sighs::
Anywho, I love getting her hair all done up even if it's just pigtails and LOVING the time we spend picking a dress out. It's pretty nippy out there these days BUT since we are indoors MOST days, I figure this is JUST Oodles of FUN! I totally love watching her dance, and twirl..you can tell she loves it too. Then she has trouble trying to figure out which shoes to wear and has often wore two different shoes. haha. It's adorably FUN!

[baby names]
So, a few weeks after we found out we were expecting. He started up with names, boys to be exact. Ever since we were pregnant with Leanna, he was loving the name, MAX! I wasn't at all into it. It reminds me of a dog and well...a friend of ours has the name for her son. But he is still all over that name and of course a JR.
I on the other hand keep thinking of girls names. SADLY, I wouldn't mind another drama queen. I wanted a boy at first but Leanna came along. I wouldn't have it any other way. I love her to pieces. SOoo...it's bizzaire to only consider girl names. At this point I love Audrina or Ailea. I don't know what's up with it starting with an "A", just coincidence. However, my SIL has 2 daughters (1yr old and 1mth old) whose names both start with "A". Plus, my sister has her almost 8mth old with an "A" as well.. Crazy, huh???
Whenever we came to the conclusion of naming Leanna, her middle name was another issue. He wanted to name her Alice (his mother's nickname) wahh..I opted with her Original name, Elisa! Which I absolutely adore. I sometimes want to call her (Leanna) that but I have the funny idea of calling her that once she is a teenager. Who knows if I'll stick with it. haha. When we decided to name our baby girl, Leanna Elisa. We agreed that since we are giving her, his mom's name as the middle name. THAT, if we had another girl, she would carry my mom's middle name, NICKY. [confused yet??]
With that said, thus far I like; Ailea Nicky OR Audrina Nicky. I have about..hmm...6 more months of thinking ...but then again, we'll the determine the sex soon enough. So we can narrow it down further more.....Whew.Thursday, December 25, 2008
Christmas 2008
It was an extremely exhausting day. For starters, I was awoken to no ones' blame (hmmm)
It was in the 8am hr. His watch alarm went on a little while after. I threw a hand at him since it startled me. We then started to chat and cuddle. A first in weeks. Since Leanna has been sleeping over in our room off/on for weeks! She woke soon after...soo much for cuddling. .LOL
We yelled "Merry Christmas, ho ho ho" and got her all wild up about opening gifts. She was ready! I had to give her a quick shower, do her hair up and daddy made us a quick breakfast. I wasn't in any rush to open gifts...hehe. We found the disney parade on and turned it off once we started with the gifts. Leanna went to town, she absolutely loved OPENING PRESENTS! She had soo many expressions and super cheesy smiles as she posed

[Happiness is Me]

[Tuesday December 16, 2008] We went this morning for the first ultrasound. In order to determine how far along I was and the due date. Well, to my surprise it was pretty accurate to what we had already determined. I am 11weeks & 5 days. The due date is JULY 4TH!
It was rather instresting because, I've never had that type of ultrasound before. You can just imagine. Leanna saw the baby and I think she understood but then again who knows. We also saw the heart beating and even got to HEAR it! I was amazed and friggin HAPPY!!
After the ultrasound was completed, I began to mention my concerns for my morning sickness and such. He said hmm, possibly it's a boy since the symptoms are different from being pregnant w/Leanna. Then he said the heartbeat was slower, so there lies the possibility. We shall see....
Time Flies
Today has been a challenging day to say the least. It was one of the worst days of "morning sickness" thus far. I woke up rather early, due to his cell phone alarm going off & off. So, I was beyond annoyed. Leanna woke up about 10minutes later and since I had napped alot the day before. I was pretty awake&starving. I absolutely hate waking up feeling the starving sensations, it's disgusting!! blah blah. So, he finally made me some breakfast about 9ish. I ended up puking it out after 2 hrs or so. And after that the day feel to an utter disgust accompanied w/exhaustion! I managed through the day lounging on the couch in&out of naps and watching lil tv. I can't necessarily rest w/Leanna running wild and being obnoxiously loud. It's about 9pm and I still have a slight headache. Ok my keyboard is acting up and it's annoying me!!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
In the search for a gift for myself. I found my Mommy-to-be handbag!
::ECSTATIC::
About a week n a half before Leanna was delivered, He surprised me with a handbag. I had been eyeing that handbag for about a mth, oohing and awwing over, A beautiful Dooney & Bourke...it was like $200 and something. To my COMPLETE surprise i got it ALONG with the matching wallet! SOOOoooo, I took it upon myself to make it a "MUST" and anxiously shared with him, my next D&B handbag, it was only $238. I didn't find the wallet there in store. But of course, I found it online, another $100 and something...So, I am anxiously awaiting for that..LOL!

"first day"
My first day as a mother, I was a bit overwhelmed. I was still in shock of having a child to begin with. But the more N more I looked at the little human-being, the more I knew everything was going to okay. I feel in love with Leanna and have been DAILY ever since! I have an overflowing amount of joy, love and happiness when it comes to being her mother.

Aches & Pains
::BLAH::
I had an interview with KMART this morning at 9:30. I didn't get out of bed until about 8:40, It took me about 30 to even get out and that's after he made me a toast w/jam. CUz I was getting the nauseous feeling that I was gonna BARF! [[yuck]] Got dressed and rushed out the door about 9:15, once I drove off, I realized. CRAP, I hadn't had anything to drink, NADA. I was thirsty & had a yucky flavor in my mouth. Luckily, I found a jolly rancher and had at it. I got there 5 min before 9:30 and sat until I was assisted in the employees area. Uhmm, some lady, came to me with my printed online application and 2 other pieces of document for me to review and correct if need be. I waited, I was getting restless b/c they had the tv on CNN and BUSH was on talking about Veteran's Day.....Uhmm, I wanted to Zzzzz. I was listening to most of his speech and I felt quite proud, b/c my husband is a Veteran and as his spouse. BuSH also honored the military families...So, I got chocked up a little. hehe.
The interviewer called me in. AND I was honestly exhausted at this point, I perked up a little and continued to answer her questions. I had about 5-6 detailed questions to answer like examples of this and that. BLAH, Overall, I felt like a failure...I got confused with the last sentence about integrity ...and couldn't bounce back gracefully. I felt like a total dumbass even after she said it was okay. She didn't have any other question after that and gave me the spill about having other applicant to review and positions open. Also telling me we'll give you a call or not in 2 weeks. Booooo...I left feeling unconfident and even more tired.
F*ck KMART! ...I still hope I get a job there.... LMAO

[Halloween 08]
Happy Halloween
Trick or Treat!
Leanna had her first "official" trick or treating experince this Halloween! Plus, it was daddy's first Halloween with us. Technically this is her 3rd year. Anywho, she was uberly cute, as a bumble bee even though, I was a bit rushed getting her ready but you couldnt tell. She was having the greatest time in the world UNTIL she realized she'd have to walk from house to house. Then the tantrums started either she didnt want to walk on her own OR hold the pail. Booo, I was done about 30min into the event. But I held in, we took turns walking to the candy and carrying her. Then after almost an HR we headed back home to hand out candy of our own! It was a festive event...we had a good time catching up with some of the gals. Crystal being one of them, Noah looked adorable in his Skunk Costume. I was hoping to dress up myself but there's always next year. And by then Leanna will have a better understanding of what halloween is. We'll also have another lil person to dress up PLUS Bonita {our dog}! We will totally be having fun!! I can't wait until Halloween 09.
