As we can see I did not keep up with my blog and its been a while since I was here. My life has once again changed since I had my baby on October 1, 2010. It was a beautiful baby girl named Alessandra Giselle. It's been a month and a week and there is not one day that passes by that I am not amazed by how fast she grows and changes day by day.
My pregnancy was a beautiful experience. So beautiful, that I miss it and look back on it as one of the best times of my life. The hardest part I have to say was with no doubt the first trimester when I had nausea from week 7 to the 14th! I remember thinking it was the only pregnancy I would have. things changed soon after I no longer experienced the nausea. My second and third trimester were wonderful. The bump was beautiful and I loved it! For the exeption of a couple of nights, I was able to sleep and breath through my pregnancy nights. My last day of work was a Wednesday and on Thursday, what was supposed to be my last day I stayed home because I felt tired and with some minor pains. When I went to my MD appointment that afternoon, she said I was in early labor and to go to the hospital that night. I had contractions when I arrived to the hospital, but to make them stronger and faster I was induced friday at 2:45am. By 10:45am we took took the decision that I needed a C-section due to lack of progress. At 11:36am I heard the most beautiful cry I've ever heard, it was her, the girl that would forever change my life.
Almost two weeks before Alessandra walked into our lifes, we signed for our new home. We had started the construction process back on May and hoping that our home would be ready by the August giving us plenty of time to close and move in before the baby got here. Well, things didn't go as weexpected and the house was not finished until August 30th and for one thing or the other we ended up closing on the house almost two weeks before the baby was born! Thanks to my wonderful husband and my loving mother we were able to move in and have everything in order (for the most part) by the time Gigi as we call Alesssandra, was here. Today I am still getting thing in order and finding place for what I want to keep and throwing what I want to donate or sell into boxes. On friday we got the $8,000 first time home buyer refund! What did we do? We went in search for our new bedroom set and we found it at the last furniture store we went to on Saturday. Tomorrow Monday I will be receiving it and I just can't wait! It's beautiful!
I would also like to include my cooking adventures on this blog. Up to now, I really havent't been the best cook because I really haven't tried. I know that my husband would love for me to cook for him instead of going out daily. I know that it would benefir our health along with our pockets haha. So starting tomorrow I will try to do new recepies and make my husband happy. The kitchen in our home has plenty of room and has a stove that I love with two ovens! I need to start using both at the same time.
I hope you will enjoy following my blog as you see Gigi grow, how I decorate my home, and my cooking adventures!
