About Me

About this blog!

I, (Danella) started this blog for our family! I think 99% of the time I would be the one blogging. This blogging world is new to me; I have been wanting to share this new stage of our lives with our friends and family! We love you all and welcome to our blog :]

A son's love

**by Samantha Richter ** Tiny hands, tiny feet. I've waited so long for us to meet. Who could've known a love so true. Innocent and perfect, you're safe within my arms. I'll watch over and protect you, I'll keep you safe from harm with mischief in your smile and wonder in your eyes. Watching you as you sleep, feeling every sigh, I could look at you for hours, and always be content. you became my living angel; when you were heaven sent. just the thought of you, makes my world seem full... you are my life, my love, my son: my precious Lucas

I Am Not Alone

( Author: Unknown ) Running errands and talking on the phone, I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone. Little tiny hands, a precious rounded knee, pushing and twisting that no one can see. Oh sweet child kicking up your heels, it is our little secret that only I can feel. I look forward to your birth, when I can kiss your skin, but for now I will just smile, as I feel you play within.

Thanksgiving time!


This year’s Thanksgiving was awesome.  Our friend Alyson came and had dinner with us.  We had a great time together.  What I like about the holidays is that we do NOTHING.  Just like last year, we eat, after we eat, we sleep and after we sleep we rest and then we watch a movie.  Then, we get hungry again and eat some more.  We forgot about our problems, school and work! Yay!! We went to my uncle’s house for Thanksgiving.  The food was amazing!
This year, I am grateful for a wonderful husband.  He helps me so much! I don’t know what I’d do without him, I am so happy he is always by my side.  Also, I am thankful for my little one who is almost here! I am also thankful I have my siblings here in Utah.

Two

Andrew and I celebrated our wedding anniversary #2 a few days ago!
These 2 years have been so wonderful.  Sometimes, it feels like we've been married forever! I cannot imagine my husband out of my life.  I am so happy that I have an eternal family and that our little family is growing! Next year, we will be 3! It makes us so happy to be parents for the first time.  Our poor baby will be our "guinea pig" :-) but that's OK... I was my parents' "guinea pig" too because I am the oldest.  They are so lenient with my youngest siblings now!
Anyway, to celebrate our year number #2 together we went to a spa.  I had never been to one! It was an amazing experience.  I was in charge of looking for one and found the perfect one! They pampered us for 3 hours!


Then, we went to the Natural History Museum! This was Andrew's idea.  He got us tickets.  I was a little sad that I didn't get to go while I was a student at the U (because it was free for U students).  I was so happy we were able to go!


There were some things that we could do in the museum.... So, for example in this picture, Andrew is trying to build something and then check if it can stand after an earthquake.  It didn't hold still :(


My favorite part were the dinosaurs! Here is a pic of me and baby :)

Baby, this one is for you!


Mommy and daddy are so excited to meet you. Even though sometimes you give mommy a hard time with morning sickness you are way too loved.  Daddy spoils both of us so much: he cooks, cleans, buys us snacks and works really hard.  He even rubs mommy’s tummy with lotion and coconut oil every night so I don’t get stretch marks.  The only way we know you are growing is because mommy’s tummy is growing.
I worry about you every single minute and the only way I know you are OK is because you move like you are dancing some reggaeton! You move so much that you’ve tickled me a few times.
Daddy is excited because the other day he put his face on my belly and you kicked like saying, “Hey dad!”
We love you and cannot wait to meet you!
Daddy takes advantage of my cravings and he eats our snacks too : ) I think that is cute. Also, we bought pre natal vitamins I the form of gummies and… daddy ate them too the first few days : )
I found out recently that I cannot sleep comfortably on my back.  I tend to sleep on my left or right side; I need to get used to it because I wake up once or twice a night in order to arrange my position.  I also found out you don’t like this : ) because every time I move from right to left or from left to right you kick like saying, “mom, let me sleep!!” and I just say in my head, “I know, I know baby, sorry.”

Daddy tells me I am not supposed to look any symptoms on the internet.  Sometimes, I forget to listen to him… though; I’ve been better at it : )  I always do this because I want you to be safe always.
You are going to be born at the end of January or the first days of February.  I hope the weather is nice when you decide to come.  Someone told me that when your daddy was born (in January as well) there was a storm and it took her forever to visit grandma and daddy at the hospital.  So, can I make a request in advance? Please come when it’s not snowing : ) : )

It seems that grandma Zuzu is coming in January, she is excited for you.  Your tios (both my siblings and daddy’s) are way too excited about you.  You are going to make my siblings tios for their first time!! I tell them they need to spend all their money on their first nephew.  Oh yeah… did I say nephew? Yes!


This is the note that the doctor sealed in an envelope.


We opened the sealed envelope and found out you are a boy not too long ago.  We are SO EXCITED, believe me! Daddy is already dreaming on how to teach you cool stuff like fixing things around the house, how to treat girls… and eating ice cream for breakfast on Saturdays while mommy still sleeps!! And I am already sad that someday you are going to leave the house to go on your mission and later college.  You make both of us so happy.

We already have so many dreams with you; you are making our little family of 2 grow : ) we pray that we are good parents to you.  We have no idea how to be parents and hope you are patient with us; you are going to teach us how to be parents for the very first time.  We love you baby, we are in the process of decorating your room!! I hope you like it once you come into the world.  We are going to take care of you and give you lots of endless love.  I am 5 months and 2 weeks today.  Clock is ticking… we cannot wait for you to come!

Your mommy and daddy
