Notas acerca de Nathan! / Highlights about Nathan!

Hoy Nathan cumple tres semanas, que rapido pasa el tiempo; durante las semanas dos y tres ya fue al pediatra, al hospital por unos analisis, y curo su ombligo. Hoy tomo su primer bano y le encanto; me imagino que pensara "porque afuera no es tan calido como aqui dentro", "que bien me siento", "al fin, no tengo que usar panal por un rato", "que me han puesto que huelo tan bien!" Ese Nathan...quiero que se quede chiquito!

Nathan turns three weeks today, time really flies; during weeks 2 and 3 he has been to the pediatrician, the hospital to get some analysis done and his belly button finally healed. Today, he had his first real bath and he loved it. I imagine what he might think "why out there isn't as warm as in here," "I feel so good, "Finally I do not have to wear a diaper for a while,"what have they put on me, I smell nice," That Nathan... I want him to stay little!

6 semanas quedan!/ 6 weeks left!

Tuvimos la cita con la Dra. Wood el miercoles recien pasado. Todo esta muy bien incluso me dieron un regalito (unas muestras de formula para bebe). Para la proxima cita sabremos si tengo strepB (una bacteria que hace que los recien nacidos se enfermen) si es positivo ( lo cual es comun, 40% de las mujeres embarazadas salen positivas) la Dra. me afirmo que no causa complicaciones y que se trata al la paciente el dia del parto con antibioticos via intravenosa. Espero salga negativo!!

Extrano la nieve en Salt Lake City que invita al Espiritu Navideno! En fin, ayer merodeando por blogs de costura encontre dos proyectos sencillos para Navidad! Son botitas navidenas!

Aqui esta, muestra de una que hice ayer!

Hice unos pequenos cambios como veran!/I made few changes as you will see!

We went to the doctor last Wednesday, Everything is oh right I even got a little present (baby-formula samples.) Next week we will know if I got strepB Dr. Wood assured me that if I have it I will be treated with antibiotic to avoid its transmission to the baby. I hope it comes negative!

I miss the snow in Salt Lake City, it makes me feel the Christmas Spirit! Anyways, yesterday while looking at some blogs I found two easy Christmas projects! Stockings!

Above there is a picture of the first one I made yesterday!

I haven’t feel well today, last night my left leg cramped and I couldn’t rest! besides de discomfort I believe my lovely family deserves the best of me (and so do I) so, I decided to make rolls which this time have been “A TOTAL SUCCESS.”

Endredon/Quilt

Por fin mi proyecto esta tomando forma. Decidi hacer un endredon para el bebe escogi el color verde porque cuando empeze a trabajar en el proyecto Max y yo aun no sabiamos si estabamos esperando una nina o un nino, asi que opte por verde el cual combina muy bien tanto con azul, amarillo o rosado.

Finally my project is looking good. I decided to make a baby quilt and I chose green fabrics because when I started I did not know if we were expecting a girl or a boy so I chose green which works for both just by making a different election of color in the binding.

quedan 7 semanas!/7 weeks left!

Durante la semana pasada Max estuvo en Providence, Rhode Island trabajando. oh, como le extrane! y ah, que feliz estoy de que este de vuelta!

Cuando Max tiene algo muy emportante que decirme, escribe una carta, La semana pasada me envio una la cual he impreso y guardado en mi diario. Solo quiero compartir que ambos deseamos crear una familia feliz.

Todo marcho muy bien en la mas reciente visita al doctor me entere que he aumentado aprox. 18 lb lo que es 8 Kg. No me habia percatado de mi nuevo peso hasta que camine cuesta arriba en el parque y tuve que acortar el paso para no sentir el esfuerzo que me estaba tomando el caminar.

Entre otras cosas, Max esta cursando su maestria en-linea, a veces la tarea lo aburre. El endredon del bebe sigue en proceso, espero terminarlo esta semana.
Max was in Providence, Rhode Island last week, working. Oh how I messed him! and ah, how happy I am he’s backed!

When Max has something very important to tell he usually writes me a letter and last week he sent me one which I‘ve printed it already and put in my journal. I just want to say that both of us want to create a happy family!

Everything went great in the last doctor visit, I’ve gained 18lb and I had not noticed it until I walk a small hill in the park the other day and I had to slow down my pace to be able to keep walking without getting tired.

Among other things, Max is doing his master on-line and home works sometimes is boring to him. The baby quilt is still in process, hopefully I will finish it this wee.

Noviembre ha llegado!/November has arrived!

Noviembre esta aqui! Si! El dia de accion de gracias esta cerca y en estos primeros dias en Mexico se celebra el dia de muertos con deliciosa comida, calaveras, y  recordando a nuestros seres queridos. Como SUD en casa no participamos de esta tradicion como lo hacen otras personas, sin embargo es uno de los mejores epocas para hablar con los abuelos acerca de sus padres, de aquellos que no conocimos y disfrutar de un chocolatito caliente y tamales.
Mi abuela Martha solia poner un pequeno altar con fotografias. La fotografia que mejor recuerdo es la de mi Primo Tonito quien murio de nino debido a un tumor cerebral al mismo tiempo recuedo la diapositivas de mi cuando bebe y el aparece cargandome en varias de ellas. Es preciado para mi saber que el plan de Salvacion hara posible el verle de nuevo y reunirnos como familia.

PD: ya solo nos quedan 8 semanas para que nazca el bebe!

November is here! Yay! Thanksgiving day is closer and Mexico is celebrating the all Saint's day with delicious food, witty rhymes, and remembering our love ones. As LDS we did not participate of this tradition at home like other people, however it is one of the best times of the year to gather together with grandparents and learn about our ancestor;s enjoying a cup of hot chocolate and delicious tamales.
I remeber Grandma Martha setting up and small altar in her home with pictures and familiy keepsakes. The picture I remember best is my cousin's Tonito who died when he was a young boy for a tumor in his brain. I also remember the transparencies from my baby days and he apperars carrying me in many of them. It is a traeasure to me to know that the Plan of Salvation will allow my family to be together forever!

PS: 8 weeks left to receive our baby!

Lectura/Reading

Estos ultimos meses he tenido mucho tiempo libre para hacer cosas hasta donde el embarazo me ha permitido. Una de ellas es leer. El leer la escritureas diariamente y comprender el contexto en el que eventos y principios de deselvuelven es una experienciacompletamente diferente. Empeze a leer Harry Potter tambien, y he encontrado la lectura muy entretenida, ahora comprendo porque mucha gente gusta del libro. Entre otras cosas espero terminar el endredon para el bebe esta semana. Ya solo nos quedan 9 semanas para que nazca! Si!

This last couple months I have enjoyed free-time to do things I like as far as the pregnancy has let me do. One of the activities I've been able to focus on is reading. I feels great to be able to read the scriptures daily and see the unfolding of events and how the principles apply in those settings. I started to read Harry Potter as well, I find it very entertaining and interesting, no wonder why many people like it. Among my favorite things to learn is sewing, hopefully I will finish for the most part the baby quilt this week. We, baby and I, have just 9 more months to go! yay!

Fotos familiares/Family pictures

Max y yo visitamos el centro historico de Grapevine, TX. a finales de Septiembre para tomarnos una fotos familiares. Es chistoso ver las caras que pone la gente al vernos tomar nuestras propias fotos con un control remoto, no creen?!
Para editar las fotos use http://pixlr.com/o-matic/, padre, no?!

Max and I went to downtown Grapevine, TX. at the end of September to take some family pictures. 
It was funny to see people's facial expressions towards our automated picture session (we used a remote to take the pictures ourselves.)
I used  http://pixlr.com/o-matic/ to edit the picture! cool, isn't?!

Mormon Channel

Mormon Channel
I enjoy listening the Monthly Visiting Message program!

Un recordatorio/A reminder

Lo logre!/I made it!

Well well well, I Just finished reading "Daughters in My Kingdom. The History and Work of Relief Society." I realized I am of great value to my Father in Heaven and that the sole purpose of the gospel is to provide happiness to every soul through selfless service of all kind.
My favorite chapter has been so far chapter 9 "Guardians of the Hearth. Establishing, Nurturing, and Defending the Family." Perhaps because I'm embarking myself in this noble cause of motherhood and I cannot stop thinking in my mother's great example and my father's support.

Veamos, termine de leer el libro "Hijas en My Reino. Historia y Obras de la Sociedad de Socorro". Me he dado cuenta de que soy de inmenso valor para mi Padre Celestial y que el proposito del evangelio es traer felicidad a toda alma a traves del servicio desinteresado expresado en todas sus formas.
Mi capitulo favorito, hasta el momento, ha sido el capitulo 9 "Guardians of the Hearth. Establishing, Nurturing, and Defending the Family." Quizas porque estoy por embarcarme en la gran causa de la maternidad y porque no puedo dejar de pensar en el ejemplo de mi madre y el apoyo de mi padre.

My favorite quote:
Mi cita favorita:
“You pass the heritage along
as you help others receive the gift of charity in
their hearts. They will then be able to pass it to
others. The history of Relief Society is recorded
in words and numbers, but the heritage is
passed heart to heart.” 
 Pres. Eyring.
