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!!!

Yesterday Khloe got 3 gifts =) A cow humidifier, a $25 gift card to Target and a bathrobe with 6 matching washcloths! David had just told me the day before how we needed more than just the one Winnie the Pooh towel we got at the baby shower and the next day, we get a robe! ;o) The day before yesterday we also got a couple of gifts! A lot of really cute clothes and a first aid kit. I will be working on thank you cards this week and next week because I don’t want to lose track of all the gifts we’ve been getting. We have a friend coming over tonight with her two kids to drop off another gift. People are so nice when you’re expecting! Tonight we are also going to Home Depot to buy the paint for the nursery (we chose 2 different shades of pink) and the blinds for her room. I got $200 worth of Home Depot cards with my American Express points and lucky us, we got a $10 off certificate in the mail last week!

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 6^th 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 20^th bright and early since I have to be fasting…My next doctor’s appointment is scheduled for November 3^rd…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!
