OMG...

OMG...What happened to me? My gosh I have been gone over a year. I guess having a baby was way harder than I thought...lol! Now it is a must to keep this online journal of my life and our life. I will be back soon.

Advice on having a baby!

I have been given lots of advice about the pregnancy and thereafter..here are some.

1) I have heard several times being a mother is difficult. However, until you experience it you will not know the difficulty.

2)That breastfeeding is HARD. No matter how many classes you take they really do not prepare you for what is to come. Not only that but you may have low milk supply and a very hungry baby, so you have to the what is best for your baby! and then people will make you feel guilty about it :)

3) That you're going to fight with your spouse more than you ever have and its not because you love each other any less, its because being new parents is also HARD and takes a great deal of adjustment. With that said, steal away private moments together whenever possible!

4)That everyone and their mother will think they know everything about being a mother. However, you are the only one that knows best what is BEST for your child!

5) The best advice I was given from a friend when I told her I was pregnant was don't take anyone's advice. I took that one :)

Lori!

Lori Mary Born August 5, 2009 at 7:05 pm. 8 pounds 8 ounces and 19 inches. Also with a head full of hair :). This has been the reason I have not made it on my blog. Lori is now 14 weeks old and looks nothing like the picture above.

Fast Forward :

This is what Lori looks like now.(even though this is at 10 weeks)

making changes...

Since life is going to change for us, I decided to change my blog title. However, it is a bit too big and I can't seem to resize it. I will leave it as is for now. I made this on scrapblog-so cool. Can't wait to play around with it more!

Well...life has been quite interesting for the past few weeks. Last Sunday, on the day of my baby shower I actually fell and fractured my foot. I fell earlier on so I just managed to be on my foot until the end of the shower. I was in pain towards the end as well as my foot was swollen. So my husband and I went to the emergency room and we discovered that I have a fractured foot. They also wanted to observe me and do a stress test and they saw I was having contractions :) It was quite stressful for everyone around but we managed to get through it. Now I am in a foot boot, and most likely have to continue to wear it for another 3 weeks. The doctor said it is healing well-Thank God. The only thing I can say is it could have been worse!

Then on Tuesday my father got into car accident. Again, he was hurt by the air bags blowing off and his seat belt-but Thank God-it could have been worse! I am just grateful we are all healthy and doing well-it includes my father, the baby and me :)

You can find some pictures of the baby shower on the sidebar! Enjoy!

10 Weeks...

10 Weeks till we leave this home as two and come back as three (God Willing).
10 Weeks till we learn to love in a completely different way.
10 Weeks till we have to clean poop and get pooped on.
10 Weeks till we can't sleep through the night or we train the baby to sleep through the night :)
10 Weeks till I can have myself some sushi LOL!
10 Weeks till life changes completely because of a God's miraculous blessing.

I can't believe we have reached this point. My feelings are quite stable right about now. I am just working on wrapping up my school year. There are only 15 days left-then the plan is to spend the rest of June and July focusing on preparing for this baby!

You would think we would have a name by now, however that has not been finalized! I am sure whatever we choose it will be just perfect for this baby.

Five things I am enjoying currently...

1) Babywise book-This is a great book. I hope all things I am learning I can put to use and have it come out successful with my own child!













2) My comfy flowy PJ's-nothing is as comfortable as wearing these while pregnant.

3) My hair color

4) Loquat-My in-laws have a loquat tree. I love this fruit. In Armenian the word of the fruit translates to New World. If you have not tried this fruit I suggest you try it. It is quite small compared to other fruits but it is soo sweet and perfect for the season.












5) The warm Southern California weather-I am throughly enjoying this. All winter I kept saying let it get warm already. (I just hated having nauseau and freezing all at the same time) So summer came sooner than expected here...and when you walk around people are all ready in their flip flops and cute sun dresses. Even though I can't be part of that I am enjoying to heat -even though I am sweating and ending up with water retention...In the next weeks I will be heading to the pool!

Enjoy..the Long weekend off!

Getting Through

Every life has its set of challenges, as we face ours we say "-With God ALL things are possible" -Matthew 19:26.

We are grateful for our health and this little healthy baby growing inside of me.
We are grateful for our family and friends.
We are grateful for the health of all of our loved ones around us.
We are grateful that we have food everyday.
We are grateful for our beautiful and comfortable home.

I know there are people out there who are in much worse conditions, but I also know we will get through this bump in the road and look ahead and wonder how we got through...but we will get through because "-With God ALL things are possible" -Matthew 19:26.
