9 weeks left...

welll, i am 31wks pregnant, meaning i have 9 weeks left, if that.... time is so flying and while my belly looks small in this photo, its much bigger in real life... hehe... i swear! isabella is forever moving and groovin' in my belly and she seems quite content... did you ever hear of how babies "kick the mom in the ribs?" that is NOT  a lie! i felt it a few times and it's a weird feeling... and now, the baby moves around soooooo much, that sometimes it literally hurts... i got kicked on the side earlier today and well, it's not as bad as a contraction but my goodness, a real live karate kick to the side ain't no joke!!!! but soon isabella will be out and we will see how active she is then.... for now, i still have to chew a ton of tums for all the heartburn... check out this illustration i did....

and once isabella gets here, i can make a baby book for her.... sweet jessica sent me this lovely handmade paper book along with one of leslie's postcards.... i am so thankful for such wonderful bloggers who share their love.... her package made my weekend all the more exciting and it's getting me revved to do a book for both isabella and diego... (currently, diego's items are in one big memory box.... i am bad, eh?)

so now, i will show weekly photos of the growing belly... and next week i will show you  the baby's room (if i remember to, that is)....

I've been lurking for a little while now, but thought I would come out to say congrats and how exciting!! I have three kids, and all of them were VERY active en utero. And guess what? They are STILL very active!! When the little one gets to kicking you in the ribs, try lying flat on the floor and stretching your arms up over your head. It helped me a lot . . .

Aww look at your cute belly!!

I'm just checking in -- it's been a while -- but I had to say that Isabella is one of my most favourite names!!!! Can't wait to see her in 9 weeks!

[Brenda Padilla]

That is so cute, I can't wait til you make me mine. I will definitely let you know when.

Doesn't time fly! Only 9 weeks left? You and Ramel must be very excited.

My son reckons Isabella is practising her 'Mawashi geri'. Yes, it pays to have karate boys in the family. Though in english that is a 'roundhouse kick' to me and you but I still have no idea of exactly what it is... ha har... :)

i'm so excited for you and your family, gosh time takes us all off guard, i can't believe isabella will be here in such a short time. i love her name and i will keep you all in my prayers in re: to the kicks!!!

How exciting to be at a pointin your life when it is socially acceptable to be pregnant. My boyfriend and i were talking about what wouldhappen if i were to get pregnant (we had a bit of a scare) and he was talking about how it would ruin his life - all his dreams. he'd have to move out of his parent's house (GasP!!! that'd be a goodthing), and his paren'ts wouldn't support him and all of that stuff.

i didn't see it as negative as him, but i know i'm not ready for a chid yet. I want to have a full-time job that will give me maternity leave time. and be financially ready for child. and it'd be nice to be LIVING with my lover first, at least. i think i'd like to be married first too - i don'tw ant to have to arrange a babysitter for the honeymoon.
