UPDATES!!

Hi Everyone!

I've been awful about updating this blog, which happens to be a chronic symptom of writing a blog.
Life has been moving at a fast and furious pace for the Braceros/Wint troop, so here's what has been going on!

WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Little Guy!

We are over the moon that our bundle of joy will be a baby boy. I just KNEW that it would be a boy for months and months. In fact, I had two very distinct dreams that we had a baby boy and he was playful, and absolutely adorable. I can't wait to meet him, to see him smile, and to see what kind of personality he develops.

See his hand covering his face? He's playing shy! So cute!

In one week, we're all moving to our new home. There is so much to get done as we make this huge transition. We can't wait to get settled so that we can REALLY start preparing for the baby! We've already begun working on our registry, so please stay tuned.

Just this past week, this little dude has grown and so have I. I am now sporting a full-on baby bump, like, the kind that makes people give you their seat on the train, or makes people YELL AT PEOPLE WHO ARE SITTING to give their seat to you. True story. Happened yesterday. It was awesome.

With all this change happening so quickly, it is nice to take a step back and be grateful for all that we have, and I'm especially grateful to have Mark. I wouldn't want to be going through this with anyone else.

Time

I've been finding that the concept of time has taken on a whole new meaning since being pregnant. There are so many events that are coming up and so much to get done. Everything feels so much more significant as we try to plan and prepare for our new life together and bringing a new person into our world.
Here is a timeline of what is to come, as of March 1:

- 20 weeks pregnant, halfway there!

- 5 days until we find out if we're having a boy or a girl!

- 1 week until mine and Angela's birthday. Yikes!

- 1 month until we move into our new, beautiful home. A VERY big change that we're very excited about.

- 5 months until due date!

Time keeps coming and going!

Life really has been going along at a fast and furious pace. A lot of changes and challenges have come our way lately. It feels like a bit of a roller coaster at times, but it has been an incredible lesson in taking things as they come, making sure to keep breathing, and being there for each other. (Yoga makes most of this mentality possible, by the way.) It is certainly a very exciting time and I have moments when I can't believe this is ALL HAPPENING.

Speaking of happening, there is some major movement happening in my belly and it's time for a little chocolate Haagen Dazs ice cream! Good night all!

Seriously, one of my faves. Especially the mini cups. Nom.
