Expecting...

Yeah...it's been a while...again. I don't think I'm a very good blogger. Haha. But as the title reads...Rigo and I are EXPECTING! We are excited to be welcoming our first child into the world in August. Baby at 13 weeks...I can see the head! He/She was about 8 cm.

My 3 month belly...lol. It just keeps growing. (My older co-workers who are grandmas tell me I'm too big for 3 months and ask me if I'm having twins...lol)

Maybe this has contributed to why I haven't blogged in a while. My first symptom of pregnancy was and still is forgetfulness. Being that I'm a nurse, there are tons of things to do at work and I typically keep up with it all in my head. But not when I became pregnant...people would tell me things and a few seconds later they'd remind me, and I'd have no idea what they were talking about. Lol. Ask Rigo, I have a pretty good memory, so this was very odd for me. I didn't even know I was pregnant. I took a pregnancy test a few days later as I had this feeling...and what do you know...it was positive! I asked Rigo to have lunch with me that day and as I went to meet him at his job, I sent him a picture of the pregnancy test while in my car. He said his heart stopped when he saw it on his phone...hahaha. He was soooooo excited.

We went out last night with our friends Adam & Shawna, who are expecting their first baby in April. That was fun...she's gonna have a beautiful (and big, from the looks of her belly, haha) baby girl. Just like Rojohn & Merilee. Yayee for baby times!!!

Other than that, I've just been working and trying to clear our second room for the baby. My energy is finally beginning to pick up since I hit my 2nd trimester, and I'm just grateful for all those days I was able to make it through work...which can be pretty tough. But I know the Lord answers my prayers every day and gives me just enough strength to get through each shift. Rigo has been so sweet and supportive, doing all the house chores after he gets home from work or school, catering to my every need, and running out to get me food after midnight without hesitation. Thank you hunny!

I honestly can't remember what's happened the last couple months...lol. It's flying by. I have the privilege of going down to Labor & Delivery and having my friends find the heartbeat with the doppler when I'm on break at work. OH! Rigo was recently called as 2nd counselor in the Elders Quorum presidency. I told Pres. Nelson I was waiting for him to get called. Lol. I really am grateful that the Lord is putting him to work...because I know as he serves he will continue to grow and become an even better husband and future daddy! I've also been called as a YW advisor...which is exciting because we have an awesome group of girls and a fun group of leaders too that I already love. I don't think I could handle much more than a Sunday calling at this point. I know how difficult it is to be in a Presidency and being pregnant and working...I don't think my body would agree with me. But I'm just happy to be serving! Ummm...other than that...I can't think. I told you my memory is not so good...my brain mass must be shrinking. Lol. So I'm going to get ready for work. Til next time....(hopefully not months later) Hehe.
