last day!

today is the last day of 28. holy monkey´s...one step closer to 30. i even have the day off today. yipee!

5 days

Did I mention that my B day is in five days? If you'd like to send me a yankee candle or york peppermint patties because you're bored well...go for it!

Ha. It never hurts to mention it's your birthday...I guess I happened to mention it to one of my students last week and his wife just happens to be a massage therapist and gave me a nice relaxing FREE water massage today! So relaxing. So far I still am having trouble walking, but I'm sure my back will get better soon. Thank goodness it's a long weekend. Heating pad and sofa. check.

7 mths

Happy Birthday Fetus Feese! 7 mths today. Only a few more to go! I went to the doc today and heard her heartbeat. Sounds great! Also, all my blood tests came back great. So far so good. Minus the fact that I can't walk! My Sciatic nerve is pinched so I have to just chill for a few days without moving. We'll see how that goes!
Today I'm getting a water massage so I'm hoping that's going to help. I'll keep u posted. Can't wait to put on a bikkini!!!!!!! (enter sarcasm here)

hmm

A few days ago A and I were taking a walk and all of the sudden I got this shooting pain in my back. Sciatic nerve! Ever since then I seriously can barely walk. I think I need a wheelchair.
How in the HECK am I going to make it until the end of Feb? Someone please tell me!

Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart

Thanksgiving Day 2009 (27 weeks)

Ah, Thanksgiving. AKA the holiday I´ve come to dread since it´s non-existent here and I miss being with my family. Someday! In the meantime I thought I´d make a list of a few of the things I´m thankful for. Pretty standard really.

I´m Thankful for:

1. My Precious Lord and Savior for dying on the cross for me and giving me eternal life with Him. What an amazing gift. I can´t ask for much more.

2 . Antonio Luque Guijarro, whom without I´m not sure I could survive. It was fate that we met and since that moment I´ve never been the same. He brings a smile to my face on a daily basis and has the biggest, kindest heart of anyone I know. I´m SO thankful to be married to such a wonderful man and there is no doubt in my mind he´ll be an amazing daddy.

3.The beautiful little girl that´s growing inside of me. I´m so thankful to be able to feel her moving around and experience pregnancy. To feel your child within is unexplainable. Many women spend a lifetime wondering just what that feels like and we were lucky enough to get pregnant in five days. I´m looking forward to squeezing her and loving her for the rest of her life.

4. Family/friends. Parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents. They are ALL totally crazy whack jobs........but I love them anyways and without them I wouldn´t be who I am today:O)

5. Our beautiful flat decorated exactly how we love it. It´s so cozy and I love coming home everyday.

6. Animals. I wish I could have one here, but my inlaws boxer Chiqui will have to do. She is the funniest dog around and she always makes me laugh. Dogs are the best.

7. Laughter. What would the world be like without it? There is no better feeling than laughing until you are in stitches and tears are streaming down your face. Now THAT is heavenly.

8. Hugs. I miss hugs. We do the double kiss thing here and it´s not the same.

9. Jobs. I like my jobs and I enjoy the people I meet on a daily basis.

10. Starbucks coffee in Sevilla. Tall mochas. Need I say more?

bus

I KEEP having this dream where I miss the school bus. What does this mean? It's starting to freak me out.

I'm on Thanksgiving and Christmas strike this year. Thanksgiving doesn't even exist here and I have to work. Awesome. And as far as Christmas. It's like a trillion degrees and there aren't even any lights up etc. and I'm not going home.......so I'm on strike. Ba humbug!

really?

I just had a ¨Meet the Parents¨ moment. Remember when Ben Stiller was the ONLY one on the plane and he had to wait until his row was called?

So, I just went to the post office to mail an envelope and there was NO ONE there......so I walked up to the lady and she´s like, ¨You have to get a number.¨ Seriously? But there is no one in line.....So, I had to walk all the way to the front of the post office to get a number...and then my number showed up on the screen. Hilarious. I was laughing hysterically.

On another note...26 weeks preggers today. I went to the Midwife and heard the heartbeat. I even teared up a bit. She´s doing well. I won´t tell you how many lbs. I´ve gained. Lets just say the 25-30 range will not be happening for moi. SO SHOVE IT!

public transport

I hate taking the bus. Today a gypsy lady was sitting near me and she hacked and then spit on the floor...not once, but twice. SICK! Would you like a side of swine flu with that saliva?
