Quick update: I had a doctor appointment today. It turns out I have 11 weeks left. What is going on? My original due date was March 30th, 2009. Then they pushed it back to April 16th. I'm patiently waiting...Good things come to those who wait, right? C'mon good things!!!
P.S. My fingers are swollen right now.

whoa!
I just wanted to let people know that I think I am taking this "eating for two" thing over board. I ate dinner today like it was going out of style. Manny made Chicken Alfredo and invited us over. Of course, we couldn't pass up the opportunity. I was starving and ,therefore, ate more than I probably should have. Dinner was good. But now I need to roll my butt off the couch and into the shower.
I can't wait to give birth. I am feeling EXTREMELY heavy these days. There are pains where there was wasn't any pain before, and my fingers feel swollen all the time. I have about 10 weeks left. I know they will fly by. Then the baby baby will be here and Robert and I will be enjoying sleepless nights. Wait! We already have those.

Uneventful Weekend
The weekend came and went in a blink of an eye. I swear more hours need to be added to the day. We had Angie this weekend and by the time Sunday came around, we are exhausted! Between Juliana and Angie I barely have time to breathe. Those girls keep me busy. On top of running around after those two, with the extra weight I am carrying, I get winded pretty easily. Come Sunday night it all caught up to me.
This weekend was pretty uneventful. Friday, I worked and so did Robert. Angie was dropped of at 6pm. Saturday I worked, Robert stayed home with the girls, and Bobby spent the night at my mom's (Mima's). Titi Vida picked up Bobby Saturday afternoon and took him out for a while with Jesika and all the girls. My son is surrounded by nothing but estrogen! Poor kid. By the time I had made it home from work on Saturday, Robert looked beat and was in dire need of a break. We switched. He took a nap and I chased the girls. My daughter is at the point where she wants to taste everything and will stop at nothing. She is so curious right now that I think she would purposely let herself fall off the couch or bed just to see what it feels like. Luckily, we haven't had her fall off anything in a while. Mama's (Juliana) favorite "game" at the moment is take everything out of the diaper bag or the drawer or the purse and then on to the next. It's funny, but a pain to clean up after. Angie is 3 years old and requires so much attention. She asks a lot of questions and follows me everywhere. If I do my hair, she wants her hair done. If I wash dishes, she wants to help. I try to keep her busy so she doesn't get bored.
Funny story...I had asked Robert to just give me 30 uninterrupted minutes in the shower. I asked him to handle the kids so I can just get lost in my thoughts. He said ok. Not even 10 minutes into my hot, steaming shower, Angie comes knocking. "Christina, I have to go pee." I tell her to come in (we only have one bathroom). I didn't want for an accident to happen. She uses the restroom and I tell her to wait for me outside if she is done. She says, "can I sing the ABC's?" I say, "Sure, as soon as I'm out." She took that as an oppourtunity to belt out her best American Idol ABC's. She kept me company for the rest of my shower and then demanded I sing with her. When Robert came to get her it was too late, we were into our 4th ABC's and we were moving on to the "Itsy Bitsy Spider".
Saturday night was Manny's (my brother in law) birthday celebration. Robert stayed home and gave me a chance to go out and socialize for a while. It came to me that I am no longer that girl I once was. Staying out late and bar hopping takes up too much energy. Especially, after the bar fight that cleared out most of the establishment. By the way, I see Manny and Karina (my sister in law) in a completely different way. I was proud of them. I'll keep it at that. They know what I'm talking about. ;) GO PACQUIAO!
Sunday we invited ourselves over for breakfast at my inlaws. We had eggs, chuletas, tortillas de harina, and salsa. After breakfast, we just stayed. I had been craving brats for a while. Manny's friends came over and we ate them for dinner. They were deeeeelish! We didn't leave the house until about 8pm.
For the weekend being so uneventful, it feels as if we did a lot. Maybe next weekend, Robert and I will have a chance to go on a date...

expanding
I see this is the new "in" thing to keep family and friends up to date, so I figured, why not? Let's give it a try. I can hear my mom in the back of my head saying, "y si todas tus amigas se brincan de una cliff, tu tambien lo harias?!". I wouldn't because she has taught me well, but either way, Welcome to my life!
Let me give you a run down of the Garcia 6. That consists of me, my main squeeze Robert, our handsome and smart son, Bobby, the light of our lives, Juliana, Angelina ballerina, and "baby baby" (still cooking). This all started back in 1998. I saw Robert and his mom at IC church in his Navy uniform and he caught my eye. I have to admit I was smitten by him. He just looked so prim and proper, I think I may have drooled a little bit. I didn't see him again until we started school at CLC that same year. We began dating and I fell in love. We had Bobby in 2000 and married a month later. From then on, things were a little rough. We split up for a few years and Angie came along. We were finally legally divorced in January of 07 only to heat things up in June of 07. By July, I had become pregnant with my daughter, Juliana. Little did I know she would be the glue that would keep us together. It was a difficult "restart" for Robert and I, but we made it. I was determined to have my family back together and here we are. I am pregnant with baby #3 due in April. Yep, another April baby. This baby is due April 16th. Eight days after Juliana's 1st birthday. Man, did we move quickly. So, you see Bobby went from being an only child to having a house full of siblings. All sisters at that. I know for those of you that don't know the entire story, you might be a little confused. Angie, is my step-daughter, Robert's daughter. We have her every Wednesday for dinner, and every other weekend from Friday to Sunday, but our love for her is constant. It's been a whirlwind these past two years. Bobby has had a lot of adjusting to do. I can tell you that he seems to stable and I know he loves his sisters. He was hoping baby #3 would be a boy, but it looks like he will forever be my one and only prince. There has been a lot of expanding (and it's not just my belly) that we have done in such a short period of time.
We have had a lot of changes. Some we weren't expecting and other's that we have had to fight for. It hasn't been easy as things aren't usually handed to us. We have hit lows but it seems to me that right now, we are cruising at a comfortable altitude only to try and reach higher. I am happy with where my life has taken me thus far. Maybe if we won the lottery I'd be even happier, but I know that money doesn't buy you happiness. Plus, I hear you have to play the lottery in order to win. I guess I should start soon. But for now I count my blessings and I am thankful for what we have. I love my family!
