Good News Mama!

Kev and I are finally moved in to our new place! This is a really exciting time for the both of us because it's the first time in our marriage where we get to live on our own, with just the two of us (I don't count our two dogs hehe). This will obviously be short-lived, since a baby will be taking up all our attention in about 3 months (how exciting is that?!) I'm trying my best to spend as much time with Kev before the baby comes. I'm actually at The Masters College in a separate room while Kevin is in class. I'm really thankful for this time since I stopped working and get to be with him. Almost every morning I drop him off at work and then pick him up after, and depending on his schedule, two or three nights of the week are spent driving to Santa Clarita to attend one of his classes at TMC. God willing, he will graduate in a year. If he keeps on going at the pace he's going, he will graduate by next summer. That means that it took him 4 years to get a Bachelo...

Praise the Lord! Today we received our keys to our new house...Well, technically we don't own the house. We probably won't even own a house until we are way older. We are renting a new house, and the lease ends in 3 years so it will be our home for a while! The way we even got chosen to be the tenants of this home was God's blessing upon us as well. We had someone really help us out and he was very beneficial on our behalf. I'm so excited to move into this new place because it will be our first "home home." We are already blessed to be living in the house that we live in (it belongs to Kev's parents) because this house is super huge and beautiful. But it never really felt like our home. We came into the house and everything was already decorated. We weren't living by ourselves as a married couple. Kevin grew up in this house as a teenager. This is the same house I'd visit Kev in as a 15 year-old. We used to dance on the streets as teenagers and r...

My doctor called me two days ago to discuss the results from the special 20 week anatomical ultrasound (which examines the baby's body parts close-up, specifically to determine if there's a birth defect or a possibility of Down's syndrome).  As I type this, I am currently 24 weeks pregnant. The fact that she called at 6pm on a weekday was a little bit alarming, because that means something was up. She told me, "The baby is ok, but your placenta is very low. It is right next to your cervix, which means we cannot do any pelvic exams or physicals. If you ever have to go to the ER in the next few weeks, let them know your doctor said nothing is allowed inside of you. Also, we need to reschedule another anatomical ultrasound so we can see if the placenta has moved away from the cervix. Otherwise, if it places itself over your cervix, you may develop placenta previa, and we will take it from there." I remember learning about placenta previa when I was in my LVN progra...
