13.1

WE DID IT! Oscar and I completed the San Antonio Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon! Being 28 1/2 weeks pregnant didn't stop me! We got 2 miles of jogging in and walked the rest. My feet and legs are so sore - but it was totally worth it:). Two of our friends walked/jogged with us - Craig Guillen and Lily Hinojosa. We had a great time with them both and grateful that they walked along side us.

Before 13.1 and After 13.1 & Pizza!

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod

Last night I finally decided on our baby girls bedding! Oscar even liked it! I will make the valance and the crib skirt. Isn't it adorable?

My mom loved that the bedding is from the Land of Nod store. When she was a little girl, her mother would read her Eugene Field's poem "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod".

The Big D

We went to Dallas over this past weekend and spent some time with my Aunt Debbie, Uncle Jamie and cousin Jake. It was so nice to see them and visit with them. They have a lovely home and a sweet dog, Haley. We need to see them more often! Last time we visited with them was at our wedding last year.

Cousin Jake and I

While in Dallas, I had another bridesmaid dress fitting. I can't believe Jordan is getting married! It will be a beautiful wedding, I know! Her and Donnie's wedding is set for January 2, 2010 in Galveston. Oscar and I are looking forward to celebrating New Years and Jordan and Donnie's wedding at the Hotel Galvez. It should be so wonderful!

Fall, Sports, and To-Do Lists!

We both love this time of year. The weather here has been so lovely! Around mid 70's everyday so far. It's beautiful outside, it's football season, basketball just started, and the anticipation of our baby girls arrival is at an all time high!

Oscar and I have been extremely busy these days and are looking forward to Thanksgiving weekend. That's when our schedule sees a break and we will start working on our home again. YAY! We also have the following weekend for home improvement projects as well. Here is our to-do list:

• Paint the guest room

• Take the wall paper off the kitchen walls and paint the kitchen

• Replace the hardware on the kitchen cabinets

• Replace window coverings in the living/dining room and get new curtain rods

Of course I have lots to do in the baby's room as well:

• Make curtains

• Decide on the bedding / make a bed skirt
  

• Purchase a crib

• Polish the used changing table we purchased off of Craig's list

• Set up the room and hang decorations on the wall

• Repair the closet door in baby's room and buy closet organization units

Other pressing items on our To-Do list include:

• Decide and purchase another vehicle (that fits a car seat!)

• Decide on our baby girl's name

Somehow, I know we'll get it all done!

Beautiful, Home Sweet Home!

We are back from our Anniversary and Baby Moon Vacation! We are rejuvenated and well rested. We visited NYC, CT, and MA. It was lovely this time of the year with all the changing colors and brisk, fresh air! It made me want to start decorating for the holidays! I will post pictures soon on facebook.

Speaking of the holidays - Oscar thinks I should be a Pumpkin for Halloween. Yeah, that's how you make a pregnant woman feel attractive!!! I still love you, hun!
