Exciting NEWS! great update:)

Hello Journal :)
Today is Thursday 5/27 and Friday 5/28 I'll be 22 weeks pregnant! Exactly 4 days ago on Sunday night 5/23 at about 2am I felt Gracie kick for the first time for like 5 minutes straight! It was amazing.... I havent felt her that hard since then. Just wanted to record my experience... I am feeling good, sleeping good, and Have a new mattress! It sure does help... I willl keep posting when I can.. Just have been working a lot and keeping busy... Gracie is pretty much all set with her baby registry! Just need to buy the stuff now but we will have help :) So goodnight and I'm sooooo excited to see Gracie's adorable face on June 11th!!!!!!!!!!!! I know God is working on her and those VSD's found on the 18th week ultrasound are closed! GOD IS GOOD!!!

Bought Baby's first clothes today!!

Hello Again! Today was my day off and I wait anxiously for the ultrasound tommorrow! And since I am soooo excited and almost 100 % sure its a girl, I went to Carters with my friend Mabel and bought my first clothes for the baby! Here they are! SOOOOOO Cute! The slippers match perfectly with the little ballerina outfit that Carlos Mom Lola bought for the baby. And just in case it just so happens to be a boy, we have receipts to return them! Cant wait to dress and love on my little bundle of joy!

13 week Ultrasound Pictures

So I really didnt need to do this Ultrasound but I wanted to make sure my baby was not at high risk for downs syndrome. And the baby is fine! They did a nuchal translucency and checked my blood so our baby is healthy. The next ultrasound is April 30th and it is a level 2 ultrsound to make sure baby is healthy and if its a boy or girl. They are doing that since I took Ativan and Trazadone in the begginnig when I didnt know I was pregnant. but I know God was protecting my baby and forming my baby with his power and my baby is well by the Grace of God! I believe I felt a few flutters or kicks this past thursday 4/23. It felt different but was definitely not a distinguishable kick. As soon as I feel a harder one that I know for sure is a kick I will post it. Here are some 13 week Ultrasound Pics of our precious baby! More coming soon :)

4 more days till we know the Gender! UPDATE!

Sooo many things have happened since my last post. I try to write on this every day to use it as my journal but I dont have anyone following me yet. I believe I have to "invite them" but I'm doing this more for my enjoyment and for memories. :) Carlos got his papers and legal stauts! YAAAAY! he was approved on April 20th! Well we were :) after the final interview~ ! He is now a legal resident and his green card is in the mail. Perfect timing! Plans are to move to Tampa in December right in time for Christmas :) we may stay here though till after Christmas so his parents can spend the holiday with the baby because we will be in Tampa from then on out! I am excited to move in with Abuelita so she can help with the baby.... we need all the help we can get but the Lord is all we need! I am really excited because in 4 days (On april 30th) we get to find out if we are having a boy or girl! I cant believe i'll be 18 weeks this friday! Time has really flown by but I want it to go by even faster because I want to meet my precious baby already! On Carlos Birthday (May 14th) i'll be 20 weeks and halfway through the pregnancy! Right now the baby is listening to Classical music on Pandora (Symphony #9 in D Minor by Beethoven to be exact) we pray our baby will be super smart and healthy!!!! So if it is a girl (which I'm thinking it very well may be since the 13 weeks ultrasound said 70% girl) we will name her
Grace Kyla Hernandez
The meaning of the name is Victorious
and if a boy
Marc Abram Hernandez

We love those names. I also like the boy names Daniel and Christian. But we shall see. STAY TUNED!
Love, Annelle (and baby)

Picture from Our Iphone

Ok so I'm new to this and I dont know how to update the older posts so I am going to post a cute Ultrasound shot of little baby Marc Abram or Grace Kyla. I saw the hands moving a little but baby was sleeping. LOOK HOW CUUUUUUTE!

It's been a while but I'm here to update!

About 2 weeks ago we went for babys second Ultrasound (March 3rd to be exact) and also to check the status on my bleed. Good News, the bleed is gone! Thank Goodness. I am now able to exercise (as long as my heart rate doesnt go over 140) and have sex! YAY....so that was a relief. The baby really does look bigger and it was laying on it side with its hand under his head and his leg bent! I'm saying he because I have a feeling it is a boy. My Grandmother and Mom said so and they are usually right. Also, I think Carlos will be a good Dad to a boy and A girl would make him so over protective! But either way we will be happy as long as the baby is healthy. So we are anxiously waiting to know. My next appointment with Dr. Nieves is March 26 before I go to Tampa but that is just routine. On March 19th I have my Ultrasound appointment for the first trimester screening abnormality test so I'll be able to see my precious baby again. We are excited but of course my area of concern is the financial area. I really need to get that in check. I'm hoping that once Carlos gets his papers and gets a better Job and finishes school we can get on track financially. Right now I am making due with what I can living paycheck to paycheck but luckily I have enough money to pay the bills. And I got sick! Two days ago I started getting an itchy throat and now I have a runny/itchy throat. YUCK! Luckily no fever or chills and its pretty much just a head cold. Ok, so I am going to try and post on this every day and add pictures as I start to grow ETC and any other cute ones of Ultrasounds ETC. I guess this is more for my journaling than anything because I don't think any one is reading them! Ok so I'm going to finish watching E The Soup here (pretty funny) than glimpse over my wedding video again :) and then go for a walk, then shower and hit the mall after Nancy comes and drops of the wedding albums! (Yes 5 months later they are finally ready)!!!!! I think Carlos and I will watch a movie later So I'm enjoying my only day off Then I work Friday and Saturday and have Sunday off. Working as much as I can now since I am going to Florida for 2 weeks on March 27th! Cant wait! So off I go to enjoy this day. BTW it sucks to have a dry throat and dry lips from breathing through the mouth when I'm sick! But I sleep sooooo good! LOVE YOU BABY!!!! (I'm going to put Pandora Classical Music on now so you can get smart)

Love,

Mami
