Our 1st Appointment

I have to admit, that I practically held my breath all day until I saw that little heartbeat. In these early weeks it's just so hard to believe that there's really something growing inside of you.

Yes, you feel your body changing and the nausea is a constant reminder that something is going on... But there's nothing quite like seeing that obscure image for the first time, with that tiny, rapid, pulsating section somewhere in the middle. I almost cried... until my hubby said "There's our little alien!"

Happy Anniversary!

I still can't believe it's been 7 years that we've been married and 6 years since the wedding!

Time flies and the wedding day was such a blur... But what wonderful memories we have made so far!

Wait For It

This has been one jam-packed summer! July was another busy month... First, we had a great 4th of July in Carmel! It was a long drive and a short trip but it was so nice to get away.

Then, since it was a short trip and we didn't get as much quality time as I would've liked with my family, my sister and her family were nice enough to come down to visit us a week later. As usual their visits are memorables ones. This time it was because....

We introduced them to Red Mango!

Ok, just kidding! Although the wonderfulness of Red Mango is reason to celebrate, this wasn't really why their trip was memorable =)

On this day we found out that we have a "little nudger" on the way! (Yes, I'm such a Twilighter!)

It was surprising but pleasant news. My sister was definitely shocked and didn't react until she saw the indicator stick. After I recovered from her screaming in my ear, together we schemed on how to break the news to my hubby.

He had a bad day at work and I told him I got him a couple of things to cheer him up, one was his favorite candy and the other, well you'll see... Here's the video of his reaction, which we we like to call "Wait For it..."

Here's a transcription, in case you have trouble hearing it...

V: Oh it's in the shape of it..yay!

B: It's not for me

M: You don't think it's for you?

V: You said a couple of things!

M: Did you see the other one?

B: It's not for Andre either.

V: There's another one?

J: What's in your hand Vince? What is that?...What's that other thing?

V: I see this one.

J: Ya but what's the other one?

V: It's a pacifier....ok, it's a pacifier....I'm lost....I seriously am lost....Wait a minute! Why is there a pacifier?!!!

B: Jean and I are having a baby! No I'm just kiddng!

V: You're making me sweat!...Ah that's why...I thought you were looking at pictures!

B: That's why we're filming...

M: Are you ok?

V: Why'd you get me like that?...Are you really?

M: Ya

V: How many tests did u take?

M: Two

V: Ok you can stop filming!

J: Vince it's positve...it's positive

B: It turned blue!

J: Are you happy Vince?

V: I'm blushing

J: Are you happy Vince?

V: I'm stoked...I'm so stoked...are you serious?

Hi, my name is Len and I'm a Twilight Series Addict...

This series has taken over my life with...

TwilightersAnonymous.com!

What began as a pet project has turned into huge, ranked #5, Twilight fansite!

This is why I have unfortunately not been updating my blog. We are hoping to find more help with the site soon. I do hope to update again soon since there is a lot going on in our lives right now!

Busy, but fun-filled month!

My what an event filled month! I haven't posted in awhile due to 2 vacations in one month. The first was our Memorial weekend trip to Disneyland with my sister's family. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of that event, since I ended up with a horrible cold that weekend and it went by in a blurry fog of medication. I do remember, the few times I was "awake", enjoying everyone's company...it's always great to see Billy, Jean and Andre...and also spend fun time with my hubby. I'll also never forget that this was the weekend that we made Twilight converts out of Billy & Jean (evil laugh). More on that on a later post!

After, returning from the Disneyland trip, I had 2 and half days to get better and prepare for our Yosemite trip. I barely got well enough to make it to Yosemite and somehow pushed myself to go on a 5 mile uphill hike, bike 13 miles for 5 hrs and go stargazing. Chris and Chrissie joining us was certainly a lot of motivation! We had so much fun and the experience was so much more since we got to share it with them...Yosemite newbies! When we got home at 4 am on Monday, I crashed for the next 2-3 days. It was worth it though and here are a selection of pictures to prove it!

Birthday Thanks!

This is my last birthday post, I promise! I just wanted to send some thanks...

To my hubby, for the time you sacrificed and for the thought you put into celebrating with me and just your overall enthusiasm and love.

Mama, for thinking about me so much and for your generousity in your gifts as well as many things that you've done for me.

To Chris, Chrissie & Mom...thank you so much for the DVD! Can't wait to watch it!

To all my other friends and family who took time out of your busy days to email or call to greet me!

Last but not least, to my sister Jean, who's so thoughtful and sent me the cutest stuff in the mail as well as a book! I'm not one to toot my own horn but I did appreciate the descriptive post she put on her blog for my birthday.

Thanks so much from this worrisome, fastidious, French-speaking/German engineering/human calculating/dog whispering baby sister!

Let them eat cupcake!

My husband was generous enough to extend my birthday to two days! He reasearched and made enough calls to track down the book we looked for on my birthday. He found it at the Barnes and Nobles in Burbank, which conveniently is located nearby a cupcake place we frequent when we are able to....Yummy Cupcakes...and that's the name of the place, not an enthusiastic description of how they taste!
