Busy Little Baby D!

Mommy at 25 weeks! Enjoying the sun and warm water in La Jolla, CA with the family. I'm in desperate need of a tan!

Greetings family and friends! It's been a few weeks since our last posting so this is a little bit long - bare with me. The David House has been a buzz with lots of fun activity. Life is very busy - who knew there was so much to do to bring a tiny baby into the world! But we wouldn't have it any other way.

Me and Baby D are in San Diego this week for a business trip. I had a little down time before my meetings so I have been able to spend time with my family. As you know my sister Jen is ready to pop and as luck would have it, her doctor decided to induce her on Wednesday. I think God intervened in this one and really wanted me to be here for the birth. So after my meetings Wednesday I should have a new niece to visit at the Hospital. I am over the moon to be an auntie!!! We are a very blessed family. I'll post pictures as soon as I get them.

Six out of the seven Sandoval kids - Adam, Kasey, me, Mel, Marina and Jen (just missing our oldest bro Jess). We had so much fun enjoying La Jolla shores. As you can see Jen's baby is ready for arrival!

Christian spent the weekend in Chicago for the White Sox home opener. It's his annual trip with his Chicago boys and he had a blast. In case you care, the Sox won. He had to endure the snow and freezing temperatures to be there while I enjoyed amazingly gorgeous weather in San Diego. Gotta love SoCal!

But enough about us - back to Baby D! Christian filled his fatherly duties last weekend and painted the baby's room all on his own. He's such a perfectionist so it looks amazing! And he did it just in time because a few days later the nursery furniture came in. Christian surprised me and when I came home last Wednesday evening it was there. It's so beautiful. He now has the task of setting it all up - I picture a few late nights in our future!

Here's my hot hubby painting the nursery. He called it his right of passage to paint the baby's room. He's going to make an amazing daddy!

Baby D had a check up last week and all is well! I've had a huge growth spurt in the past few weeks so I really think I am growing Andre the Giant in my belly. My doctor says I am right on track but I really feel like I could deliver tomorrow. The baby kicks and moves constantly which is always reassuring. Christian and I just stare at my belly and watch the baby's little arms, legs and elbows navigate across my belly. It really is an amazing and wonderful experience.

I am almost 26 weeks which means my 3rd trimester is right around the corner. I can't believe I only have 3 1/2 more months. I feel great most of the time...I just get a little tired in the afternoon, as you will see in the photo below. Christian and I are just trying to get ready for the baby's arrival and soak in the last few months of the process. This weekend is Easter so we are going to enjoy some much needed down time. Baby D has an ultra sound in a few weeks so we get to see our little dumpling again. We'll definitely share new photos as soon as we get them.

Thanks for continuing to pray for us! Please add an extra little prayer in there for my my sister and her new family. Love to you all. Happy Easter!

I fell asleep at the break room table after lunch so my co-workers thought it would be funny to take a picture. I was literally out cold! Pregnancy is tough work!
