What's new...

We were really busy last weekend. I felt like I was going nonstop. Saturday morning I headed to Target with my sister. I had to pick up some necessities. I also had my first Starbucks coffee since I became pregnant. I had a caramel frappuccino and a cookie. The breakfast of champions. It was might tasty. I'm back on regular coffee, too. After Target, I went home to get ready for our shoot. We had a 2pm appointment to get Jacob's one month pics which happened to fall exactly on the date. So let me say that Jacob is a relatively good baby, but on Saturday he was just plain off. His schedule was kaput. We got to the photogs and he was asleep. Well, a lot of the shots we were going to do were of him pretty much naked. So, I took of his diaper and things went downhill. He was okay for a couple of minutes, but then the flood gates opened, and he would not stop crying. He was so pissed, and cold, that he peed. This was off and on for about 2 hours. I felt so bad that I had done this to my child. Poor Jess was getting stressed, and I tried to keep my cool. At 4 o'clock it was quittin' time. The photog was able to get a couple of shots, but not that many since Jacob was cranky, but here are a few she sent me...





Sunday we celebrated my brother's birthday. The family decided to take him out to Puerto Rican food. We went to this place in Cypress and the food was delicious. Not exactly super authentic Puerto Rican food, but what can I expect in CA?! It was still pretty close. They had all the typical favorites and a lot of fried stuff, which is what they are known for, and a lot of stuff I wouldn't touch. I had a beef turnover (Pastelillo de carne), a beef stuffed potato ball (Relleno de papa), along with fried plantains (Tostones) and rice with pigeon peas (Arroz con gandules). After dinner, we headed back home and had cake and ice cream. My mom made a homemade carrot cake.

I had a doctor's appointment today. Doc checked me out and everything is a go. I can now exercise, go swimming, and whatever else I want to do. And out of curiosity, I asked the doctor when we could try for #2 and he said in a year. Sounds about right..
