Pictures

Here is a picture of my Photo Session that I had done, I love this picture - just knowing Khloe is with me.
A picture of the cake from my Baby Shower
I've been behind, sorry! Exciting Updates
12/10: Today is my mom's birthday...David got carnitas from his assistant at work which my mom loves so she was really surprised and excited! Around one more month and Khloe will be here!
12/11: Ultrasound appointment...She weighs about 4lbs 10oz and the technician thinks that her due date is closer to January 29th give or take 17 days! So if I take 17 days, we are back to her original due date of the 12th...She was moving around a lot and playing with her right hand then she reached for her right foot and started playing with it :) The technician told me that she looks like me, has a round face and is pretty! She also mentioned that you're really low and your head is on my pubic bone. Later that afternoon, David and I went to Home Depot to buy blinds for her room and her Newborn Avent bottle set got delivered.
12/12: Javier at work gave me a $40 Visa gift card. It was supposed to be my last day at work but I extended it an additional week.
12/13: We had our Baby Express class at the hospital. We learned a lot! We were the best swaddlers in the group, but especially David =) He surprised me! Then my parents went with David and I to Elizabeth's house for her annual Christmas party and we had a lot of fun! Auntie Kristie got her an outfit and Auntie Elizabeth got her a cross and her first Winnie the Pooh book! We played the white elephant game and I had asked Khloe to bring us good luck and what did David get? An elephant with the trunk facing up (those represent good luck!) I hope that Khloe continues to listen as she gets older LOL. That night, I also had a dream about Khloe =) Can't wait to meet her!
12/14: Everyone has been telling me to make sure to spend time with David before Khloe is born so we decided to go watch Twilight and have dinner at Claim Jumpers. It was nice spending that time together...Next time we go out, we'll have a baby! I looked through Khloe's clothes again and Stefany surprised me with another cute outfit...A little shirt and a Hello Kitty jean dress from H&M.
12/15: I'm officially 9 months today! David started painting her room. David called Costco to check on the delivery time for the furniture and they told him it's 6-8 weeks and not 4-6 weeks! That's not what the website said so I'm for sure going to get some $ back!
12/16: David and I continued to watch the Lamaze video. We bought her car seat, Dreft detergent and sheets for her bassinet. I also had a doctor appointment and her heart beat 147bpm...She's little so another ultrasound is scheduled for next week. I'm effaced at 50% and dilated at 2cm. She told me to continue to take fish oil pills and prenative vitamins since I will be breast feeding. She told me that you can either be early or wait until your due date...really?!?! lol She told me that epidurals aren't bad and I'm brave if I'm going to try to do this without medication...She said she was able to feel your head and you're dropping!
Last day of work the 19th...Next doctor appointment on the 30th if she's not born yet!
12/17: Filled out maternity paperwork at work...bought a nursery bra and finished Lamaze video.
12/18: I shed a few tears while taking a shower and rubbing my belly cause I'm going to miss her being in there...at least I'll be able to hold her :) I finished writing thank you cards for people at work. David installed the car seat and we got a phone call that the furniture is getting delivered on Monday.
12/19: Got caught off guard when I saw her car seat in the car this morning. This is real...she's almost here! Denise gave me a photo album and Brian's wife made her a pink beanie (which she'll use to come home in) and some booties. David got me the What to Expect First Year book. I'm on maternity leave until June 2009!!!!!!!!!
12/20: David finished painting her room and installed the blinds...I helped him for a bit! Did a lot of cleaning.
12/21: My brother in law and his family came over and we watched a movie and played Wii. Jeanette and Precious felt the baby hiccup. My mother in law also came over and made us some yummy oatmeal.
12/22: Her furniture got delivered! We are missing the changing table so I will definitely ask for even more $ back! My dad came over to help me and he loaded all of my bags to his car and helped the guy with the furniture...If my dad hadn't have been there, I don't know how that little man that delivered the furniture would have been able to drop it off! So...I'm getting even more $$ now lol.

I've been slacking....

It's been a while since I "posted"
11/15/08: We went to the photographers’ studio and chose close to $1,000 worth of my maternity pictures! Thankfully, we spent half and my parents spent the other half so we were able to get all sorts of “free” perks! If we went this crazy with pictures of me, imagine what will happen when we take Khloe?!? It will take about 4 weeks to get the pictures.
11/17/08: Had doctor’s appointment and all went well. I gained 2 more pounds and her heart beat was in the 130’s. My blood work came back normal (really good to know as I don’t want to bleed to death as I’m giving birth!) My stomach measured 30 cm and she is sending me for my last ultrasound before she is born on 11/26. Crazy to know that next time I see her, I’ll be holding her! My follow up appointment with her is on my birthday! (December 1st for those of you who have forgotten! LoL)
11/20/08: Melissa from David’s work (who is also my sister’s friend) got another gift for Khloe! She had her mom make a pink and white scarf J That was the second thing which she got that was made from scratch! The first was a pink and brown blanket for her crib which Frank’s mom (from my hotel) made for her. How thoughtful…Melissa also got us socks, mittens and little headbands…
11/22/08: David and I went to the maternity tour at the hospital. There were about 8 other couples there. They emphasized that breastfeeding is extremely important and they recommend the birthing balls (good thing I already have one!) I hate hospitals but decided I am going to take a few things from home to make that room feel like home. The good thing is that I have a really good chance of getting my own room! I just have to try to not go during a full moon…The lady touring us also mentioned that the biggest baby born there weighed in at 15 pounds 2 oz! I feel for that mom! This was also the day that we got our car back…finally!!! My mom and I went to Sam’s Club and she got me a robe, pj’s, slippers and sport bras as part of my birthday gift so I have to take to the hospital =)
11/23/08: My parents got Khloe a Diaper Genie with 6 refills =) A few less things for David and I to buy while we’re out during Black Friday! Yes, I know I’m 8 months pregnant, but I can’t miss out on my Black Friday! The sales are supposed to be even more outrageous this year!

Photo Session ~ How fun!!!!
I had my maternity photo session on Saturday and had a fun time doing it! We did a lot of poses with the wraps and some semi-nude ones but very tastefully done. I took the clothes line that our friend gave us for the baby shower and used that as one of the props as well as some of the little shoes we have for her and a Nightmare Before Christmas onesie. My mom straightened my hair and the photographers told me that they won’t have to edit any stretch marks, fold or anything! They covered my tattoos really well so they won’t have to edit those…If anything, my belly button piercing…David and I are going this Saturday to look at the proofs. We are scheduled to go back and take pictures with Khloe within a week of her being born! Crazy…Just 9 more weeks to go…63 days or less if she decides to come early!

More Posts!!
10/31/08: Happy Halloween!!! Felt Khloe hiccup for the first time, it was really cute =)
11/1/08: Khloe hiccupped again for 5 minutes straight in the morning. My stomach kept bouncing up and down. We also went and bought the paint for the 2 nursery (2 shades of pink)
11/2/08: Ordered nursery furniture through Costco.com, delivery time is expected in 4-6 weeks.
11/3/08: Had doctor’s appointment…Thankfully I tested negative for gestational diabetes, her hear beat 147bpm and the doctor said everything is going perfect. I also mentioned to her that when I was little and had tonsil surgery, I almost bled to death so that my mom is scared of my having to have a last minute C section…Of course, she sent me for some additional blood work =( but I went and got it over with. My next appointment is in 2 weeks, no longer 4! I also scheduled the maternity tour for November 22nd J

Khloe got mail
We got a gift in the mail addressed to Khloe Olmos-Hernandez! It was weird to see her name on the label so of course I kept it for her scrapbook J it was a gift from my Godmother and her family…She got some silver moccasins and a little dress. I can’t wait to see her wear it!
The Gifts Keep On Coming!!!

Baby Shower
Baby shower day! We were all running around like crazy that day. My dad woke up at 6am then woke up David to get the tables and chairs and then I got up and helped downstairs a bit. My sister and her friend were still buying things at 11am when we were expecting people at 1pm so I was starting to get stressed. Thankfully my friend Kristie and Elizabeth came to help a bit before the actual start time! I saw a lot of people I hadn’t seen in a long time, some in even years! Some of my friends from 6th grade were able to make it =) We got a lot of beautiful gifts and played some fun games…We actually had more games planned that we didn’t play because we were so last minute with some of the details and some of the people were starting to leave. My dad had the 4D ultrasound playing on a flat screen TV outside and we had a little bear that everyone was signing for Khloe. We had A LOT of people there and people were showing up later in the evening. The last people who left, left at about 9pm! Then…….at around 10pm, my parents, David and I were looking through the gifts again (though we were exhausted) when we heard a loud BAM! My mom looked outside and saw a white truck going over the side walk and the guy driving was wearing a black cape and a hat, we immediately thought he was from the Halloween party across the street. In my head I thought, “that better not had been my car” and then 3 minutes later, a person from the party rang the doorbell to tell us that a jeep had been hit…Our luck, that was my car! I tried not to get upset since I know it’s not good for Khloe so I stayed behind. My parents went looking for the truck and then came back to take pictures of my car when they saw a white truck! My parents went to go look at it and the truck’s back bumper had been hit and had my color paint and the truck was warm. Bingo! We found the truck…My parents then went to the Halloween party and talked to the neighbor and he told them they were more than welcome to go inside to see if we could find the guy. My mom told him that she didn’t want to disturb the party but to take the camera and bring the driver whose plates matched those of the picture. Sure enough, the guy with the cape came outside and said that he did hit my car but that he was a responsible person and would take care of it…..RIGHT! He is not responsible…here he was drinking and driving and then he fled the scene! So he reeked of alcohol and my mom asked for his drivers license and he pulled out an ID and my mom tells him that’s probably why you’re hitting cars since you shouldn’t be driving! L0L my mom is great! She went inside to get a pen while my dad stayed with him and as my mom was going back outside, my dad came inside to tell my mom the guy left and he didn’t want to get in a fight with him to stop him. So as him and his (nun) girlfriend are running back to the truck, my mom is yelling at him that we’re calling the cops…In the meantime, David was on the phone trying to call the cops and the insurance. We got everything taken care of and finally went to sleep around 1am.
10/26/08: We were about to have breakfast when the doorbell rang and sure enough, it was the guy who hit us (kind of scary to know that he knows where we live now). He said he came back because as he had mentioned the night before, he is a responsible person and wanted to give us his insurance and DL information. We took it all down and he was shaking because he was nervous! He then asked if we had called the cops and filed a report and David told him we had. The guy got even more nervous but he told him we called because he fled again instead of just giving us his information right there and then. Shortly after he left, his insurance called us (I think he wants to move forward ASAP because he wants us to drop the charges) and hopefully things get settled this week. I am not dropping the charges. Luckily, he hit my parked park with no passengers. It upset me even more because at the shower, one of my friends told me she had gotten hit by a drunk driver and had a scar on her forehead because of it! The scary thing was that he got back in the car when he fled and drove again! His insurance better take care of a rental car for us which is comparable to mine because I don’t want to drive a little care and feel unsafe…I’m 29 weeks pregnant today and I need a safe car!
4D Ultrasound - We can see her.
My parents, David and I went to for the 4D ultrasound again and thankfully, she was in a vertex position and facing the right way! Since we went later at night, she was so sleepy and kept yawning throughout the ultrasound. She is so cute and has big Angelina Jolie lips (just like her dad!) Her nose is still a little big but the technician said not to worry about it since all babies look like that in the womb since the nose is the closest thing to us. We were able to get some good pictures and in some of them, she looks exactly like my sister Stefany when she was little. David’s family seems to think that she looks like my side of the family =)

Another 4D Ultrasound
All of us including (both sets of grandparents, Alex and Stefany) waited anxiously for the 4D ultrasound this past Saturday. When we finally got called in, I lay down on the bed and waited as the technician came in the room and started the ultrasound. We were able to see her spine right away but the realized that she was facing my back! She would not budge…she was able to show us her girl parts but Khloe was too comfortable under the placenta for some time and then again under my hip bone! The technician, David and I did everything to make her move but she wouldn’t =( They had me walk around the room for some time, switch positions, move my stomach, etc. When I lay back down, she had finally gotten out from under my hip bone but was still facing my back! We had to re-schedule the appointment to this Friday night (good thing because the baby shower is this Saturday and I wanted updated pictures/dvd). Her heart beat was 155bpm, so that was a good thing. The technician was able to show us her eyes and nose real quick while she moved and Khloe had the umbilical cord around her mouth! She then showed us her ear, arm and shoulder. She is stubborn like her mama! LoL. Then on Sunday, David and I went to buy some things and we saw these little pink and brown pj’s…of course, David got them and he wanted to get the whole store! I told him to wait until after the shower to go crazy =)

6 Pounds!
I had a doctor’s appointment on Monday. Khloe’s heart beat 156bpm which the doctor said it’s perfect. I gained a total of 6 pounds last month and my stomach measured 27cm from top to bottom. She asked me if I’ve had any strong contractions and I was a bit puzzled by her question…Shouldn’t I be getting contractions around the time I’m about to have her?!?!? So I told her no and I guess she could tell by the look on my face that I was surprised because she told me that from now on, I can feel contractions from time to time. She said that if they get really strong, my water breaks, I’m in pain or I don’t feel Khloe move, to go straight into labor and delivery…That made me feel a little uneasy but I’m only 14 weeks away from my ESTIMATED due date so I have to get used to the idea of Khloe having to come out one way or another! L0L She finally gave me the dreaded paperwork for the lab so I can go get the blood work done for the glucose test ={ yuck! I go for this on Monday, October 20th bright and early since I have to be fasting…My next doctor’s appointment is scheduled for November 3rd…I might as well mention that over the weekend, I got my dress and shoes which I’m going to wear for the baby shower and David got himself a new shirt too! We are really excited =) Don’t forget to RSVP for the baby shower if you haven’t done so!

Even more clothes and more kicks!!
My sister came back from
Khloe has been kicking a lot more so it’s fun playing with her, David and I tend to do so before going to sleep since that’s when my body is relaxed and when she tends to move more. While visiting at my mom’s house, Khloe started kicking a lot so I had my mom, dad and Stefany feel her =) while Stefany was feeling her, my stomach starting jumping which I didn’t realize until Stefany brought it up…It was really weird! We then went to the LA County Fair and bought her a pink handmade sweater from
Yesterday, David put his ear against my stomach to see if he could hear a heartbeat (my What to Expect When You’re Expecting book said that around this time, people should be able to hear it) and he heard it! The only way I can hear it is with a Doppler! I will be able to hear it during my next doctor’s appointment on Monday.

Kicking in the middle of the Night
Khloe decided she wanted to play at 1am! I woke up in the middle of the night to check the time (don’t ask why I do that but I do that quite frequently!) and she was kicking and wouldn’t stop. I woke David up and he would press down on my stomach and she would kick back…We did this for about 10 minutes until Khloe got bored because she stopped kicking…David and I wanted to keep playing but she didn’t! My mom told me that she wants to get out already!
Monday, September 22, 2008
David can feel her more and more!!
So since Khloe’s sense of hearing is completely developed, David and I thought we would talk to her together a lot more. David hadn’t been able to feel her all that well so he was pressing on my belly and Khloe started to kick back!! David was so happy to be able to feel her since he had been waiting months for that. He tried it again and again and she kept kicking back J It was such a special moment. I don’t think I will ever forget the expression on David’s face when he felt her! She’s moving a lot more…Now I’m looking forward to feeling her hiccup!

Accident!!

Dr. Appt
Everything is going well and she is a little under a pound! My Dr. said that she has never seen Khloe spelled with a K and that she really likes it spelled that way.
I have gained more weight that I have wanted to at this point, so I have to continue to eat healthy and exercise.
Picked up the baby shower invitations, they look great.. I am so excited to send them out
Time to put away neatly!
We designed and ordered her baby shower invitations and talked about baby shower ideas. Grandma and Stefany bought her a Red Cardigan with flowers =)
I started exercising and believe it or not I was able to exercise for 25 minutes before getting really exhausted!

Updates
I felt my baby move for the first time on 7/28, it was so exciting, that I got the chills. =) I think it may also be because of the HUGE earthquake that he/she was shaken up.
I am 4 months pregnant and I will take some pictures this weekend of my belly, so that everyone can see how big our little one (and me) is getting.
Yesterday, my Godmother Teresa gave me a green/yellow onesie with giraffe's on it and says "Mommy & Me" - it is so cute!!
I will find out what we are having on 8/9 with having a 4D Ultrasound - I am so excited to see our little one! Please vote to the poll on the right and tell me what you think we are having...
I promise I will update this more often
