I cannot believe that I am almost 4 months! Where did the time go???? This past week I started to get really bad headaches and was not sure why? I called friends and even googled about it. Most everyone said it could be dehydration or possibly my blood pressure. I decided to call my Dr. and double check with her just to be sure. She explained to me that I need to make sure I eat every 2 hours and at least 62 ounces of water a day. I took her advice and my headaches have gone down tremendously. I think I had a little bit of dehydration headaches. It is really hard to drink a lot of fluids when you are not feeling well. My belly is finally starting to pooch out and now it makes me feel like I am pregnant!!!

Today is a happy yet sad day for my husband. He will be leaving Coca-Cola where he has been working at for the past 4 years. He has enjoyed everyone that he has worked with and the experiences that he has experienced. He will miss everyone that he has met and made relationships with. But with this, he will be embarking on a new chapter in his career starting next week.
Greg went to College and got is degree in Business. After graduating he chased his dream as a professional Golfer. He did it the right way by getting his college degree before chasing his dream in case he did not make it on the PGA Tour. He could fall back on his degree. I love a smart man! After graduating college, Greg set out to chase his dream. He played professional golf for about 3 years. On his 3rd year, he told himself that if he did not make it through Q-school he would decide to go to work. In Greg's 3 years, the best he did at Q-school was missing final stage by 2 strokes. It was a very sad day for him but he kept his head held high and went to look for a job. Along his journey, Greg met many Men and inspirations at the golf course he belonged to "Dove Canyon" which was his home turf. Many of these men being like a father figures to him and always giving him the best advice. He always hoped that one day, one of them would ask him to go to work for them in their great companies. It was not in Gods plans for him at that time. He got offered a position at Coke and accepted. He started at the bottom and in the 3 years he was promoted every year. His final position being Warehouse Supervisor. He had passed guys that had been there 10 and 12 years. Greg will always work hard no matter what, but was Coke really the job that he wanted? No....He wanted more.
About 1 month ago Greg was playing in a golf tournament and they had a men's dinner on Friday night before the tournament. He sat next to a very dear friend that actually sponsored him through his golf career and always believed in Greg. Bob looked at Greg and said: "I have been thinking about you for quite sometime and would love for you to come and work for me?" Greg did not even hesitate and called me right away and I told him YES, what the heck are you waiting for?? He went in the next week and interviewed with Bob and his partner and they offered him the job!!!!! Greg will now be working for an Investment firm and doing what he loves. The best part is most of there business is done on the golf course, and how convenient it is that?
I am a true believer anymore that it is not about what you know it is about who you know. I also believe that when you work at something you love and strive for it, it will ALWAYS pay off! I am so proud of my husband for the man he is and the man he will become. He is an amazing husband, soon to be dad, and honestly my inspiration in life. Greg I am so proud of you and thank GOD everyday for you and the many blessings we have in our life. To a new chapter and a beautiful baby on the way!

This week I am officially 14 weeks and into my second trimester. I feel like this last 3 months flew by. Being nausea and tired for the last 8 weeks everyday all day I thought it would be the longest stretch of my life! I am starting to feel better and get some energy back. My smells and taste are still off the charts, I am not craving anything yet and my poor husband has to deal with the dreadful question he asks me everyday. "What do you want for dinner sweetie? I don't know" the story of his life. But he is a trooper with all my emotions and ups and downs, but that is why I love him. My belly is finally starting to pop out, but it is not a hard belly it is like do I have a beer belly or am I really pregnant! Ha.....
We have 2 weeks till we should find out what we are having and I am dying to find out. Of course Greg wants a boy, because he says if we have girls then they will have an older brother, but he can predict that right????? We both just want a healthy baby and feel so blessed that God has given us such a beautiful gift.

Today I am 13 weeks. The last 4 days I thought I was starting to feel better but then yesterday and today I was back to not feeling very well. I get tired right around 1:30pm and honestly if I did go to sleep I would probably sleep through the night. I have to force myself to come home and work out and then of course make dinner for Greg and I. I am hoping that the next couple of weeks I will start to get my energy back and feel little bit better. I think the energy part has been the hardest for me, because if you know me I am like the energy bunny, I never stop! So for me to want to go to bed all the time is really hard. But it is for a wonderful reason. Below is a little glimpse of what are baby is doing this week. I get these weekly news letters from baby center and they are really cool to read:
"Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head -- which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed and your odds of miscarriage drop considerably."

This past weekend we celebrated my sister and baby #3 "Chase Robert Smith" with a very small but beautiful baby shower. We wanted to do something special for her. My sister has 4 weeks left and she looks like she is ready to pop. I cannot wait to meet my new newphew. Her due date is February 10, so it is officially count down time! Thank you Mom and Cathy for helping make this a very special day for Kristen. She loved every minute of it!

Here is our Christmas and New Year's in Photos. I have so many of them and of course my post being deleted It would take too much time to post about everything!
Pregnancy Diary :: 12 Weeks
Well I am finally 12 weeks and into my second trimester. I thought this day would never come! Being pregnant for the first time I did not know what to expect? My sister who is on #3 and my cousins who have kids and friends who have kids. I would hear all their stories and how they felt but of course everyone is different and feels different when they are pregnant. So honestly I did not know what was about to happen and how I was going to feel?
When Greg and I found out on Saturday November 6, 2011 (yes our 1 year anniversary) this had to be the greatest anniversary present a girl could ask for. I did not know what to think? I first thought to myself how did this happen so fast? But of course we were so excited to start a family and to have a baby. I feel like I have waited my whole life for this moment. We have been so blessed. The past 3 months have not been easy but I have pushed through it. I was nauseas 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I never actually got sick but felt like I was sea sick everyday all day. I ate nothing but crackers, bread and ginger ale. By week three I was so sick of eating just that. I wanted to eat more but I could not. I was in bed almost every night by 8 and could still not get out of bed in the morning. Smells drove me crazy and everything was changing on my body. It was all worth it, because to see that little baby inside of me is honestly the most precious gift I think God could ever give.
Tuesday morning we had my 12 week Ultra Sound and blood work. Baby Lopez is growing very healthy and everything looks great! I have only gained 3 pounds and the doctor said that was good. I am starting to show a little but not much. My pants fit in the legs but my waist is starting to get a little tight. This week I started to work out again and it feels so good. I am in love with eating salads and pickels. There are days where I can eat a salad for lunch and dinner. I crave Oreo Cookie ice cream but know that I cannot eat that every night. I want to buy so many things but we don't know what were are having. Now we just have to wait 4 more weeks to find out if it is a “BOY” or “Girl” Anyone want to take bets?? Well we will just have to wait and see!

Post all gone
So about 2 weeks ago I went to blog something and for some reason or another ALL of my post were gone. I do-not know what I did or how it happened but they are gone. I tried for days to see if I could recover anything but I had no luck at all! So of course everything that I blogged about this last year is all gone.!It makes me really sad but what am I going to do?
Our Blog and Our Family
To think. Two people are born. Born on different days, in different years, in different towns. Born to different parents, different families. Two separate personalities. Two separate experiences. One grew up as boyish as they come, stirring up harmless trouble in the neighborhood with his friends. While the other, outgoing and love sports. They graduated from school, and went on to college, still unaware of each others existence. She dreamed of him her whole life. He dreamed of her. A faceless ideal, to an age old desire. Is it fate to believe, when their lives collide? Like two atoms who have spent year after year circling the atmosphere, searching for their complete likeness. Is it fate to believe that these two strangers happen to be at the exact same place, at the exact same time? Their eyes, suddenly, meet across a dark room, filled with a sea of people. They connect. They draw near. They don't let go. Or, is it merely, pure coincidence; the right place, at the right time, with the right chemistry? Destiny or not, these two people met. Their two hearts and their two souls spontaneously collided, completely unaware that their dreams just caught up to them. And somewhere along their separate journeys, these two people became exactly who they needed to be for that one moment in time. That one moment that fated the rest of their lives, to become one heart and one soul.
