Week in Review

And we have internet! A couple of days earlier than I expected. I’m really excited about that, but I’m also a bit overwhelmed by all the catching up I have to do. This “weekly update” is actually for the week of March 10-March 16. The week was a very busy one. We started it off…

This week Eva turned two! And all I have to say about this week in pregnancy is that the rib pain and back pain have been unbearable. Is it April yet?

This week our little border town (which seems to be turning into a big city) celebrated Charro Days! We had a lot of fun getting dressed up and going to the parade and Sombrero Festival. Here’s a little more of what our week looked like… Pregnancy Update: Damian’s kicks and movements seem to be a…

Monday started off great. Eva spent some time running around at the beach. My dad barbecued fajitas. I gave Evita her evening bath. Then, out of nowhere, she started vomiting and became listless. I would pick her up and try to cheer her up but her eyes would close and her head would droop down.…

Pregnancy Update: Yeay! I finally hit the 30’s. Ten weeks to go until I meet my baby boy. This week was a mostly uneventful one. My rib pain actually subsided a bit; I think it’s because I was on my feet more than usual. My grandmother insists it’s because my belly dropped, but I don’t…

Another week with not a whole lot of blogging. I’ve been busy with lunch dates, outings, and catching up with family. Plus, not having a nanny anymore is cutting into to my blogging time! Hah. I have so many e-mails and comments to catch up on. I’ll get my rhythm back eventually. Eva needs hers…

Well it’s been about a week since I’ve blogged last but, as you can probably guess, I’m back in the USA! I received word last Monday night that my travel was approved and the next morning we said see ya later to Tanzania. Our first stop was Amsterdam, where we had about a five hour…

This week was a crazy week of trying to entertain Eva despite all her toys being shipped away. Needless to say, I’m exhausted. On the upside, Eva finally identified every letter in the alphabet this week. I’m so proud of her. We were using this brand new set of Elmo flashcards that my bestie sent.…

I keep forgetting to write about this in my blog, but Eva seems to be picking up a bit of a British/Swahili-style accent here. It’s only on words that I always speak to her in Spanish. Water, for example. Even if I’m speaking to her in English, I’ll still call water “agua.” So now whenever…

This week Eva turned 22 months old! Two months until the big TWO! I’ve already started planning her birthday party. It will be at my Dad’s ranch back in Texas. I’m so excited we’ll be spending her birthday with family this year. Other than that, it’s been a pretty quiet week for us, except for…
