Gracie's New Bed

We have been so busy setting up our baby registry and picking out things for the baby's room that when I saw this little bed at CVS I couldn't resist getting it for our other "baby". She realized right away that it was for her and she loves it!

Daddy's girl in the making!

We spent Christmas Day at my parent's house. Here are some pics of Marcos opening some gifts for the baby. She's already a Daddy's girl!! :) Who could blame her?? :)

Meet Chai!

The weekend of Thanksgiving my Dad found a kitten at the animal shelter by our house. Long story short he feel in love with him and now he has joined the family. Here is Chai showing off a bit and celebrating Christmas with my Dad. He is a Siamese Flame Point - very beautiful and hard to believe he had been at the shelter for 2 months and no one snatched him up! He's a total love bug too as you might be able to tell from these pictures.

He helps fix the TV with Dad.

He even naps with Dad. :)

Christmas Eve at The Rezas

Christmas Eve was spent at Javier and Anna Marie's house. My parents and Julia came up to join us as well and it was a great time. Here's a good pic of my growing belly:

26 weeks

Coffman Family Pic - My Dad was in the spirit with that hat! :)

The Dads and Herb having a great time!

Let It Snow!

The week before Christmas we had quite a bit of rain and this is what the mountains looked like right behind our house. So beautiful!

Baby Update ~ Appointment Today

Today I had another check up at the doctor's and everything is looking good. All of the info from the anatomy ultrasound came back and our baby girl is looking good. The doctor measured my uterus (by using a measuring tape on the outside of my belly) and I did not even ask how big I measured. When Marcos goes with me to the appointments it seems like we get so much more information because he asks so many more questions than me. I will get the measurement next time and ask to compare it to today's measurement. I have been feeling pretty good. It seems that I have popped out more in the last week or two which has taken some getting used to. Sometimes I catch myself in the mirror and think, "Gees, this is only going to get bigger and I still have 3 months to go!!" I had to ask the doctor about heartburn/acid reflux because it is only getting worse...I guess that means this baby is going to have a lot of hair!

I don't have any new pics to share but this weekend I should be able to get some and will post those later. Otherwise we have been busy getting ready for Christmas (as I'm sure everyone else is) and looking forward to the holiday. It is so hard to believe it is just one week away!

Great Season Los Osos!

I am sad to report that after a remarkable season by the Los Osos Grizzlies their journey has come to an end. They were ahead after the half and then Upland took the game away. It was emotional to see the season end one game earlier than we were all hoping. We are so proud of all of those boys and to all of the coaches for their hard work and dedication to the team and their program.

Marcos and I were fortunate enough to get away after he said good-bye to his Seniors and spent the evening at The Langham http://pasadena.langhamhotels.com/en/ for his company Christmas party. We missed most of the party but met up with some late night celebrators. This morning we were treated to fabulous massages and a delicious breakfast before having to check out at 1:00 pm. It was very nice to be able to have a break from the usual routine and think about all of the hard work that Marcos, the coaches, and players have done this past year. Congratulations Grizzlies on a wonderful season! Love you guys! :)
