Baby Appointment/ Life with the Garcia's

So, I am 26 weeks now and tomorrow morning I go to the birthing center for another check up! Its an hour drive away for only a 15 minute check up. Silly huh? I know, but its all worth it. The birthing center is great.
Things have been going well for us all. We are going to the same birthing center we went to with Jessy but only this time, we get to meet all of the midwives there. Last time, we didn't know if we would get a lady whom we already met, and turned out, we didn't. =) So I was really happy about getting to meet all of them...there are a few new faces. I wonder who I'll meet tomorrow.
Hector will be leaving to Temple when we get back. His company puts on a big open house at the company headquarters and they have a night parade for the community there. He isn't feeling to good right now. He's got a cold, an annoying one! So, I'm hoping he'll be fine to go. He says he's going either way...he kind of has to. But, being the wifey that I am, I don't want him to be out in the cold tomorow night with this nasty cold going on in his body. Sucks!
Anywho. Nina Sophia has been very active here lately. Its so enjoyable! Her movements are getting to hurt and sometimes its so often. She makes me giggle at her when I'm sitting down, because she is just going to town in there. Getting to sleep at night has been a little rough because I can't seem to get comfortable!!! But, when I do fall asleep...oh its so nice!
Jessy is doing a lot better! Last week was so tough with her! I had one heck of an emotional start of the week with her. Plus, Hector was working a lot and gone out of town, so I was by myself with her!!!! Thanks to my mom for helping me, and taking her for a while. I don't know how I could've done it with out her! But, like I said, she's way better and I pray she stays on that road. She's been talking with the baby a lot lately, and every chance she gets, she never fails to give her a kiss. She whispers to her too, through my belly button! That is the cutest thing. =)
I guess that's about it for the new things going on in our world. Oh, Jessy is still potty training and doing so good. A little at a time, but we'll get there! I've learned never to compare your child to any one else, because God created them to be different from every body else. She's doing fine, and we couldn't ask for more.

Our New President

Well, Here we are. I did not vote for him or his ideals. I do however respect the fact that we live in a country where "we the people" have the choice to vote for what we believe in. I, as John McCain, will stand behind our president and respect the office he holds. I will Pray for our President's safety and the safety of his Family, I will Pray that he makes wise decisions for our Country and for us as Citizens, I will Pray that the Holy Spirit convicts his heart concerning the matters of abortion and marriage and who he appoints into our Supreme Court. One great thing that came about was the election of our first black president, It shows that in Our Country we all have the opportuinity to become whatever we want. We hold our own fates in our hands. I think one of the most tragic things in our country is the mindset that the government should be taking care of us. Providing everything we need. This election shows us that we are responsible for ourselves, If Obama could come up, get a good education, and ultimately become our Commander in Chief there is no excuse for any of us not to do good with our lives. To not depend on the government for handouts. I for one believe what the bible says about my life and yours " though your beginning was small, your latter end will increase". No matter who you voted for please do not wish ill fate for our President. Remember if our President fails we will be the ones feeling the effect. Whether it is through the economy, our country's security, foreign affairs, or anything else he has a direct effect on, we will be dealing with the consequences good or bad. So, please Pray for him. Also, stand up for your ideals. If he makes bad decisions we have the right to voice our opinions. In a respectable, orderly manner. I believe the next four years will be an opportunity for more people to get involved and have their voices heard if we see a decline in family and biblical values. God Bless you all, God Bless our President and Government, and God Bless America.

Family Day Out

Yesterday, 11/ 15, we headed out to my Dad's company Family Fall Day. It was so much fun. We started out late heading out because Jessy hasn't been feeling all that great. I was so unsure whether we should take her out or not. But, I am so glad we did. I gave her her meds. before we left and it helped us out tremendously. She was able to enjoy her time with Makiya, her 7 yr. old.

The company my dad works for is the McCoys Headquarters and so we went to the Civic Center. I've never been there before and when we walked in, it was such a cool surprise! It was like walking into a rodeo arena...maybe that's what they have there??? Well, there was hay all over on the ground and of course dirt, but it was clean and a very pleasant atmosphere. We didn't know what to expect, but Jessy was so happy when she saw everything. They had all kinds of fun carnival games for the kiddos and whether or not they won, they got to grab a prize to add to their bags. Jessy loved all of them, but I think her favorite was the ping pong ball bounce into the pumpkins. She played so much throughout the rest of the afternoon, thanks to my sis and Kiya who kept her busy.

For lunch, we had a wonderful meal of Fried Catfish, Hushpuppies, Cole Slaw, Beans, and yummy tea!!! I sure did eat good. =) Gosh, it was so yummy. Well, after a while we enjoyed so many different choices of desserts...which for me was only a few bites of a delicious brownie and a slice of carrot cake. Everything else was WAY TOO sweet for me.



So the evening winds down and after all the fun activities such as Horseshoes, Washers, Pie Eating Contest, and so much more we settled down to play a few games of BINGO!!!! I haven't played in so long. And no, I did not win a single game!!!! What's up with that??

As we headed out to go home, they had a door prize drawing. My sister Roxi won a basket with Wine....Hector had his eye on that one. My dad and mom won a 2 night getaway at some awesome Resort in Galveston!!! What a finale!

Thanks Dad, for inviting our family to go. It was so much fun! And to those of you who get opportunities to spend with your family, do all you can do go and be there! You don't want to miss out on making more memories.

Oh, and thanks to Roxi who let Jessy spend the night with her!
