Random Facts About Me:

1. I am a HUGE animal lover....especially Cats & Dogs!! We have 3.....Tinkerbell the cat, and Harmony and Dallas....our dogs! I have to say this even though it sounds bad.....I love them more than I love some humans! LOL Tinkerbell is a cat....so she can be a little standoffish....but she cuddles with me on her own terms.....and that IS as least ONCE a day! Harmony and Dallas.....man I can't live without them. I love them so much. And what I love so much about them is that they LOVE me UNCONDITIONALLY!!! I can yell at them.....and they still come give me a kiss. They are soooooooo excited when we walk in the door....and they HATE it when we leave them behind. I would do anything for them. Anyways.....because I love them so much....I donate once a month to the HSUS.

2.I had a bear named Pop Belly when I was little. I slept with him every night until I was in Jr. High. I still have that bear too.

3. I hate to exercise. Okay so.....that's probably not a random fact....LOL.....but it IS a fact!

4. I have a smile on my face right now.....but it's really a frown. Emotionally...I am struggling.

5. I LOVE Dallas Cowboy Football.....and I prefer to watch it at home in the comforts of my own house! I was never in to Football until I met Mike. He was a huge Cowboys fan.....and I became one too!

6. I love chips and salsa! I could eat it every day.....but I don't. I actually love MEXICAN food....but chips and salsa....and of course chips and queso are the best!

8-12-08

So here I am today with some devastating news again. My doctor's appointment was today and they were unable to find a heartbeat. I am far enough along that this shouldn't be the case. I am scheduled for a D & C on Thursday at 1:30 in Houston. Mike and I appreciate all the prayers and right now we REALLY need them. We are in shock right now and as you can imagine we are very sad and angry. Please keep us in your prayers.

8-08-2008

If your into numbers.....you might consider 8-8-08 to be a special day (LuLu & Ross).....haha. For Mike and I though....8-8-08 is a special day....but NOT because we have a thing for numbers. Today was my due date for Faith Cruz. Now....I know that people don't normally have their babies on the exact due date....but none the less.....the due date is always a special day when talking about your baby.

Am I sad today?? Yes I am. Am I also happy today? Of course. I am sad because I think about how I could be holding a beautiful baby girl in my arms right now...and I'm not. I am happy though...because I am hopeful that in March I WILL be holding a baby. God did give us another chance....and I feel blessed because of it.

I went to the grocery store this morning and as I was checking out the lady asked to see my ID (I paid with credit card....and I am glad someone cared enough to ask for my id)....anyways....she looked at my picture....then looked at me....then looked at my picture...and looked at me again....so by this time I am smiling because I am thinking to myself "Man....do I look that different from that picture or what?" ...and then she said...."You have such a pretty smile....Your whole face lights up when you smile. U smile with your eyes....its in your whole face....I rarely see that these days". I was taken back....I mean.....if this lady only knew how I was really feeling today! But....I thanked her...and I said..."Well...I have alot to smile about. I have been very blessed. God has been good." And I truly feel that way. There are days like today....that make me sad.....but like I said....I am also happy. I wish I was holding that baby today....I really do.....but God had other plans.....and we have come to terms with that....even on the hard days. And we know that no matter what happens down the road....God is in control...and we have to put our faith and trust in him.

So today....I will remember always as the day our beautiful baby girl was due....and I will make sure to thank God for all the blessings he brings into our lives.

7 Weeks

So I am 7 weeks today!

I am feeling tired....very tired on some days....but for the most part...I feel great. No morning sickness at all so far. Which kinda makes me nervous. I know that all pregnancies are different....but I've heard that it means the baby is healthy when you have morning sickness. I wasn't really sick with my last pregnancy either. Any thoughts on this?!

My next doctors appointment is on Tuesday and we are really looking forward to that. I think I will feel much better being able to see the heart beat!

As far as developments go....here is what is happening this week:

Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs. Eyelid folds are visible and already have some color. Both hemispheres of the brain are growing and the liver is "churning" (as the book says) out red blood cells until his or her bone marrow forms and takes over. He or she now has an appendix and a pancreas. And last but not least....he or she has doubled in size....and is compared to the size of a blueberry! =)

So I guess I will post again after our appointment on Tuesday. Please continue to pray for us!

6 weeks

As of yesterday I am six weeks along. I know its not very far....but 6 weeks is better than none at all....right?! =) We are taking it one day at a time and enjoying every minute of it.

Here are the big changes this week:

The nose, mouth, and ears are beginning to take shape and the eyes and nostrils are starting to form. The emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head and his/her arms and legs by protruding buds. The heart is beating 100 to 160 times a minute and blood is beginning to flow through his or her body. The intestines are developing and the bud of tissue that give rise to his lungs has appeared. The pituitary gland is forming as are the rest of brain, muscles, and bones. And last but not least.....the baby is about the size of a lentil bean! haha Pretty small huh??!!

As for me....I have been feeling very tired this time around. Not having any morning sickness....but I feel very picky about what I eat. Mike and I are staying very busy with work...but I am also trying to take it easy.

I guess that's it for now. Please keep us in your prayers....as I said before....we have a long way to go!
