Current mood: excited
WHOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! Finally I can post about this, I've been holding in the news for two weeks now and was about to burst! We wanted to wait until both sides of the family were told personally before I posted it on Facebook or Myspace. Last weekend we got to tell the Pizano family at Sarah's 7th birthhday party and today we got to tell the Cardoso family during Adrian's brother's birthday! YAY!!!! We are on cloud nine and so excited about the news. Ever since I found out (Thursday Aug. 13th) I have started a new blog site for the new baby. I will finally be able to unlock it tonight so anyone can read that as well. It is linked to Mia's blog site at blogspot.com. I will be posting the link a bit later. Anyways we are so excited and happy and so is the family.
Like I mentioned before today we went down to San Diego to Adrian's Tia Gloria's house to celebrate his little brother's 24th birthday. So far the new prengnacy has treated me good, beyond good. It has not been like Mia's at all, infact until today I had not even gotten sick! But ya today I got really sick and the heat didn't help. We are currently experiencing the worst heat wave of the year so needless to say it was HOT all over. Once we reached his Tia's house and we got out of the car I knew it was going to be a challenge not to get sick or pass out. Mia did good in the car and only whined a little bit until we gave her a celery to munch on, then she fell asleep. Anyways we made it to the house and it was already 100 there. We said Hi to the family that were already there (we got there a bit early which is a shocker for us) We got to break the good news to his Mom first and right away she guessed it before we could even say it! Darn that mother intiution! She did the exact same thing to us when we told her about Mia! haha Anyways she was so excited and happy so where his Tia's and cousins. We even got to tell his Grandma in person whose face just lit up! It was really exciting.
Mia did great. Right away she was drawn to her big cousin "Baby D" (only about 4.5 months older than her) It was the CUTEST thing to watch them interact with each other. They spoke baby talk to each other and she followed him everywhere. He even shared some of his toys with her, which I heard is rare. He would show her all kinds of secret passages like the one behind the couch and she would just follow all excited. It was so cute to watch them.
Adrian's Tia was busy cooking and the smell of her food just instantly made me starve! I was SO HUNGRY! and once the food was ready I plowed right in. Even Mia, who doesn't like potatoes, LOVED her famous potatoe salad.
Everything seemed to be going ok until the dizziness and over heating finally began to take its toll on me. Even though I was sitting right under the living room fan and next to a another giant fan I was in serious trouble. When the room started spinning really bad thats when I finally got up and told Adrian. I think the Mama radar kicked off because my Mother in Law quickly knew what was going on (She was clear across the room!) so she offered to take me to her place down the road to rest a bit. By that time I felt like I was going to throw up any min. and the room was spinning worse so I agreed. I let Mia stay there with her Dada and my Mother In Law took me to her place. Just before we left I said by goodbyes to everyone and on the way out my mother in law broke the news to my brother in law (the birthday boy haha) She said "your going to be an uncle again" and he just stood there shocked, he then smiled and congradulated me. I guess we took everyone by surprise today haha Anyways I was really feeling bad by this point, I have no idea how I kept from throwing up on the ride to her house but I was so close. My head was spinning even worse and right away I got a flash back of the time I got vertigo when I was pregnant with Mia. I started to get a bit nervous and didn't know what I was going go to. Luckily we arrived at her house, she set up a big fan next to the couch, gave me a tall glass of ice water and I laid on the couch. Right away I began to feel better and within about 10-15mins I was almost back to my old self. We got to chat a bit and catch up a while before Adrian showed up with Mia.
By then I was starving again and like a good husband he is, he thought ahead and brought be a "to go" plate and some cake! YAY!!! I woofed that down and felt even better. Mia had a blast running all over their house and playing with the two new puzzles Grandma and Grandpa bought her. Thats not all they bought her, Grandma handed over a HUGE bag of clothes she bought for Mia from Gymboree for the upcoming winter and next spring! She has a whole new wardrobe again!!! Including the cutest little winter reversable jacket I have ever seen! Mia got hooked up!!!!!
Mia played and played and by that time both Adrian and I were getting to tired of chasing her around and getting her out of trouble. Thats when Grandma took her outside to play. They watered the lawns together and Mia even put her hand in the water and said "Agua" Grandma splashed her feet and they both had a great time. Adrian and I rested inside. Then Grandpa showed up from work and congradulated us on the wonderful news (I think he got the news from my mother in law haha) he then went out the backyard with Mia and Grandma.
The visit went really well and there was no mishaps. I never got sick again or felt as bad as I did. Mia had a blast tearing apart all their things and running around their hardwood floors. Adrian's sister then called (unfortunately she had to work and couldn't make it to the party) and we got to break the news to her over the phone. She was so happy and excited for us! I can't wait to see how her daughter (Adrian's Goddaughter Brianna) reacts to the news. She is so in love with baby Mia I am wondering how she will react to this little one. It will be interesting to find out.
It soon got late and after we fed Mia some dinner it was off to home we went. Mia knocked out before we hit the freeway and after arriving home she went right to bed without a peep. What a good girl.
Overall the day was great, I am so happy the news is finally out and I can finally talk freely about it!!!! Round two here we go!
