Well my doctor appointment went well yesterday. I had another transvaginal ultrasound and this time we had a little more to see. There was a small gestational sac inside my uterus. I kinda started to flip out when the doctor started to giggle. I thought she saw several gestational sacs and that would mean there were more than one alien baby inside me. But she was laughing because it is still REALLY early. I have another appointment for another ultrasound in 2 weeks. Then we should see a fetal pole. The fetal pole is the thing that gives life to this alien inside me.
**A SPECIAL NOTE**
To my alien baby: I am sorry that I keep calling you an alien baby. It just feels like you are sucking the life out of me. And aliens are known to do that. I really do love you and can't wait for you to grow inside me. And I am sorry for all the mean names that I call your daddy sometimes. He really is great you are gonna love him!
Merry Christmas to all!

Yup...we are expecting!
So.....I thought I was dying! I was supposed to start my period somewhere around December 2nd. I did not! I took urine pregnancy tests at work and they were all negative. I took like 5 of them. One on December 1st, another one on December 2nd, another on December 3rd, etc......(you know where I am going with this) Anyway...On Friday December 5th I had some blood work done here at work. This lab was everything....because I thought I was going to die! So we were checking my thyroid, my blood count, my hormone levels, and we did a serum pregnancy test just for fun. Well I am not dying, I am just pregnant....YAY!!!!
I am seeing Dr. Susan Rivera in San Antonio. She is extremely nice and I really like her. I had an appointment on December 9th with her. I had an ultrasound done, but we could not see anything yet. But I do have a nice cyst! She ordered lab on December 10th and 12th. This lab was for a quantatative HCG level and then repeated in 48 hours . This was being checked to see if the pregnancy was progressing. Well the numbers did go up, which was great news. I was really nervous about it. I am already in love with something that I don't know is really going to be okay...does that make sense? Eddie was so calm about everything....except when he saw the stirrups in the doctor's office and then I told him that those were for him. He nearly passed out. So I have a followup appointment with the doctor tomorrow. Hopefully we see a little gestational sac...and hopefully just one!! So I will blog soon with good news!!

Eagle Eye!
WOW. Eddie and I just returned from a couple's date with his twin sister Mandy and her fiancee Chris. We love being normal people. With the whole house, and wedding planning we did not really have a "life" for awhile. So whenever we can do whatever it is that normal people do, we get very excited.
So Mandy and Chris came down to visit from San Antonio and we went to the movies to see "Eagle Eye". It was a very fast paced and intense movie. We enjoyed the movie and especially the company. I am not saying that Eddie and I don't enjoy each other's company. But....you see we don't have T.V. or satellite yet....and we are FORCED to actually TALK to each other. And when we get to visit with other people it is very exciting. Then we went to have dinner and ended the night with Eddie and my favorite date spot...WALMART! I know we are some really boring people.
We should be getting our Direct TV hooked up this week....so our marriage will be SAVED!
Once again...my husband is currently being my hero....
We bought some wall plaques and Walmart, and he just gorged his finger with a staple and is nearly bleeding to death...but he is determined to take off those staples so I can hang them up on the wall. We had to break out the "first aid" kit for the first time. I love my husband so much. Oh and he just bought me the new album from New Kids on The Block and let me listen to it on the way home in his car......what a great guy!!!

Loving Married Life
So I have been married for 2 weeks now. WOW! I wished that I started this blog a lot sooner. I would have been blogging everyday about all the roller coaster events of planning a wedding, building a house, getting stranded in the middle of the ocean during hurricane Ike, losing my mother's car due to hurricane Ike and learning to live with my fiancee.
Seriously we put a lot on our plate this year. It has been INSANE! But the sun does shine after the rain.
We have so much love for each other. It took going through all this insane year to help us find how much we really do love and care for each other.
The road to where we are now has been very rocky. Two weeks before the wedding I thought Eddie was trying to kill me. Every morning Eddie would park his car behind mine. He knew I left for work before him. So every morning I would walk outside to find his car behind mine, then I had to walk inside and FIND his car keys, then walk back outside get in his car, adjust the car seat, move the car, adjust the car seat again, go back inside to leave his keys, and then finally leave for work. He was SERIOUSLY trying to KILL ME! Of course he denied trying to kill me, and said that he thought he gave me enough room to back out of the driveway.
But I really love him. And I can appreciate all the struggles now. We have been in each other's lives for 5 and 1/2 years. We have lost family members along the way. And have laughed, and cried through a lot of events. He is my best friend and the love of my life. I listen to his twin sister Mandy struggling to plan her wedding, and I am trying to reassure her that all will be fine. We hated each other planning our wedding. We told each other "we can't wait to get this over with". We said this everyday. The day of our wedding flew by. It was the fastest day every. On that day we repeated to each other that this day was just flying by tooooo fast. All the struggles were worth it. I hope Mandy reads this blog and understands that everything will be okay. The love finds you guys all over again. It is like falling in love for the first time.
That's all for today...the Cowboys are seriously upsetting me...so I am gonna eat a lot of food, and yell at the T.V.

Flashback to the 80's
This is a good way to start my blog life. I went to see NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK! Yes 15 years after they broke my heart...they stomp into my life again. I went with Cindy Gonzales and Esmeralda De La Garza. Cindy is Esmer's sister and Esmer is a great friend. Thank you Cindy for the tickets! Sorry you ate the floor trying to take pictures. Natasha Bedingfield was the was the opener. She was really good and had legs that were miles long. She had these white super heels on also. And she was dancing so smooth in those crazy super heels. Oh and she sang pretty well.
When NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK came on stage, Esmer and I held onto each other like love struck teenagers. We screamed and hugged each other with tears in our eyes. See...we both never went to one of their concerts when we were younger. So this was a childhood dream fulfilled. They sang the oldies and all their of new album. The oldies sounded totally awesome. I missed Joey McEntire's puberty squeeky voice though. The dance moves were right on! My husband Eddie warned me that they would be out on stage with their "walkers" or "electric wheelchairs". But I guess they left them at home and had their chiropractor fix them up before pulling out the old moves. My voice is kinda rough this morning from all the screaming. I will say that they still made my heart jump. The New Kids on The Block grew into some seriously sexy men.
