Kicks and Cramps!
Here we are!
24 weeks of love later, and let me tell you, one of the most amazing feelings I have ever had is the feeling of a kick or kicks inside of me. It is the most curious, exciting, surprising and scary at the same time. Right now, the kicks are getting stronger and more active, usually at nights when is most active, perhaps because of all the motion during the day as I have not slowed down for a bit yet. I am still working, running all over the place and Thank God, I have energy for the both of us but when the kicks come, it really make you to "Stop" for a second to realize that is not about you anymore, but about something inside of you, and every time that happens to me, I am aware how marvelous human body is and what is capable to do and handle and that you are alive.
For the Cramps,, WOW! I have been feeling them since my 13 week and it is just on my calves and it happens very often at least every other day, usually at night. They are not the best feelings I tell you know and they are very uncomfortable as I am on my deepest dreams and suddenly "Bingo" in the middle of the night.. the leg cramps are there to awake you up out of the blue for a few seconds.. just to say the least that there is nothing glamorous about Leg Cramps.
If you also went through that somehow or now what it causes, please let me know.
But still lets keep the stilettos and Everything in the name of Beauty, right?

Maternity Store.
You may be wondering when I took these pictures?
These pictures were taken when I was 21 weeks pregnant and this was before Christmas. Now I am on my 24th week and I am feeling good. The belly is surely growing and now there is not way to hide. Blouses and pants are tight and what I needed the most was new bras since the ones I have does not fit me anymore. So, I took the opportunity as one of my good friends gave me a gift certificate for Christmas for a Maternity Store and for my surprise and excitement this was my first time going to a Maternity Store.
I felt like a child coming into the store, not really knowing what I was going to find, I just knew that I need new bras. I had no clue how important a bra becomes after you become pregnant. It is a essential part of your fashion wardrobe not just to say, to be comfortable is everything I look for right now.
It was fun to browse around the store. The sales girls are very attentive and they all try to make you very special and very comfortable and of course they try to stuck you up with all kind of goodies from the store. For me, I kept my focus on the bras but at the end I left with elastic bands (something you put on your belly to make comfortable when you were your pair of jeans.
It was a nice experience, perhaps next time I will go just to have fun and not just to find a bras but also to see what exactly goes behind a Maternity store and their powerful Marketing force.

Happy New Year to all of you!
It has been a few weeks since I wrote in this blog. It has been a hectic 2 weeks for us.
Let's start saying that we moved (literally) over New Year's Eve. Piles of Boxes and furniture piled everywhere. Not just to say that stress is just a kind of feeling when you are not sure of what is going to happen, perhaps that's why "strees" is so trendy and one way or another everybody feels it in certain point of their lives.
But it is a New Year and with that a hope of a much better and brighter year for all of us!
We have the future to look at, we have a new president and with that our highest expectations...
I am hopeful of a New Year filled with promises and more than ever now, It is time for all of us to be hopeful, to appreciate what we have, even if the times are not that enthusiastic or prosperous, we still have something to appreciate.
Let's keep that in mind and let's make a difference somehow. Let's start with our neighbors, or our old parents, or a friend that needs our help or just our ears, the crying child that needs attention and so many other little things that can make such a big difference in our daily lives. It does not matter where we live or where we are, the most important is the essence we carry inside of us.
Think about that for a moment.. I am sure you will feel better!
