the BIG enchilada post

This is dubbed the "big enchilada" for a couple reasons. One...hubby and I are expecting baby numero uno! Most people know already, but how could I not mention it here? I'm 12 weeks and according to my weekly emails, baby chinn is probably 2 1/2" long and has little arms and legs, a big difference from 10 weeks when it looked like a gummy bear. They grow so fast! It blows my mind. For now I'm due March 19th and we are so excited! It's absolute perfect timing for the school year. I'll be out on maternity leave and when I have to go back to work, David will be out for the semester to take care of the "himher" fredette (that's what he calls it). Then I'll have the whole summer in a bigger apartment (fingers crossed) with the baby. Awesome.

Also big enchilada because I haven't posted in ages. Once I went back to work...I seldom have the energy or time to sit down and write a post for the blog. It kept me occupied over the summer, but I have a feeling I won't be posting every day. I'll do my best to be frequent and provide baby bump photos once that shows up. I'm full time now teaching art most of the day and two periods of Spanish. Spanish is stretching me to my limit. I've never had to give tests! I admit I am learning a lot of what TO do and what NOT to do.

And now some pictures from recent happenings with my mother dearest and my sister's baby shower. My family is da best.

Jessi and her presents. It decorated with rainbows...David said it looked like I was supporting a different cause, but I love rainbows!

our little apartment was kind of packed to the max...I'm glad not everyone could come or we would have had to go outside.

Congrats to jessi again!! I can't say it enough! My sister, my sister-in-law, 2 cousins, and TONS of friends of mine are all pregnant. It's so nice to know my baby will have friends =)
