Maternity Leave has started!

So I finally have a few minutes to sit and write. I feel bad because I didn't post sooner, but here I go!

So, Layla is expected here in a little over 3 weeks. I am excited because on Wednesday she will be considered full term which means that she is ready to join us in this crazy world and fill mine with happiness :) My next appt is on Thursday and my mom will be coming with me. She has been very excited for her little grand daughter to join us and can't wait to start taking care of her! This is the first appt Hector is missing because he has a very important meeting that he can't miss, but its okay cause he has been there for all of the rest. He is super excited too, I'm definitely seeing a different side of him, but it's a side I have always wanted to see :) As of last week, she is weighing in at 6 lbs. 2 oz. She is expected to weigh 8 lbs if she stays till her due date.....All I can say is I hope she comes sooner! ay!!!!

Hector's sister Bea is coming at the end of the month with my 2 nephews, she is super excited! She will be an aunt for the first time. I can't wait to see her and the boys.

So today was my first official day on maternity leave and I woke up a lot earlier than I wanted to! lol I can't help but get out of bed between the many trips to the potty (she is on my bladder!) and I love eating breakfast! I woke up around 8:30, said bye to hec and ate some captain crunch lol.... mmmm I relaxed and then got to work around the house.

I was making some phone calls today trying to find a doctor for her....so many little things left to do, but luckily I stopped working 2 weeks early to get these things done. I meet one tomorrow and hopefully that will go well and I get a good feeling about the office and people when I get there. I meet another next tuesday so we will see who the lucky doctor will be!!

I started washing her things (onesies, blankets, etc) today :). She is already giving me mommy duties before getting here! lol

I am feeling good, which is great. I am getting those "fake contractions" that they call Braxton Hicks but nothing painful so far. I am definitely getting more and more excited each day.

Well I will update you soon! :)
