My first post!!!!

Well... Where do I start.

Since this is my first post maybe I should start from a moment in my life when I was 16. This is when I met my husband, Donovan. We met through a mutual friend and began quickly dating. We dated for 6 years before we decided to get married. We got married in August 2004 and have been happily married since then! We currently live in Los Lunas where we both went to high school. In March of 2008 we decided to try to conceive. Well needless to say, that didn't take long. We got news I was pregnant on July 6, 2008!!!! Today, I am currently 21 weeks and 1 day!!!!!!! Here is some photo's from our 20 week ultrasound (baby was being shy, so we where unable to find out the sex). Since I ABSOLUTELY need to know the sex of my first born we are doing a 3D ultrasound on Tuesday Nov. 11th!!! I will let you know the outcome of that- I know the pictures are SUPER small, but I am still learning, so be kind!

This blog is mostly going to be about my life as a first time mother and wife! Among that I will also talk about day to day experiences and maybe a few past experiences.

Now on to two past experiences that you might be interested in knowing. First, in September 2007 Donovan and I were blessed with a vacation to Kauai, Hawaii!!! We had a blast. Here is a short video from a luau we attended while we where there!

Needless to say, Donovan was sooooo embarrassed when I so graciously volunteered him to go on stage! We did lots of exciting stuff on this trip including a zip line tour when we where there! This was the most fun part of the trip!

One more past experience- I am sure most of you remember Kelly Rhodes (now Martinez). She was my VERY best friend since the seventh grade. Unfortunately we lost contact after high school. After eight years, she has contacted me again via a mutual friend. We have rekindled our friendship just like it used to be and God could not have blessed me more with such a great friend! She has a one year old daughter, Angelina, and is also expecting. Her and my due dates are exactly 11 days apart!

To finish my first post, I want to say THANK YOU to Brianna Dupuy (my very best friend/cousin, who I am sure will be talked about a lot on this blog) who introduced me to blogging! I love reading other peoples blogs, and I sure hope you find mine interesting as well. I am going to try to convince her to start one as well!
