Baby #2

Ignacio and I have decided to add one more darling to our family. We don't care if it's a boy or girl. We will be thrilled to have a happy, healthy baby!

I am more than 3 months pregnant and tomorrow we are going to the doctor to hear the heartbeat. I am so excited! Luna is excited too, we are going to take her! I know this entire experience will be completely different than when I was pregnant with Luna but I am looking forward to experiencing it with her and Ignacio. So far my first 3 months were a little rough because of feeling sick, but I felt good yesterday, so I am hoping that part is over. I am also hoping the tired part is over. I really need to find some energy. I have lots to do before baby #2. Lots of painting, but most importantly I need to paint Luna's bed so that she can begin to sleep in a big girl bed. I am looking forward to the look of her face when she sees her pretty new bed. This friday Ignacio and I will go shopping for her sheets and bed set. It's so fun having a little girl!

Good Times in Cincy

Luna and I had a nice trip to Cincy. She had a blast playing with all her cousins! I had fun playing with her in the morning before we went to the pool.

I am thankful for a chance to visit with my best girlfriend, a pleasant lunch with my father, a safe trip home and a good night's rest.

Corn and Rice Allergies

Today is a good day. I just returned from the allergist with Luna. They did some retests and turns out she is no longer allergist to corn and rice. This is great because we eat a lot of rice in our house and Luna loves rice. Also Luna loves corn on the cob. Just yesterday we were at the supermarket and she saw some and asked for it (I had to say no). But now I will happily cook that tonight! In addition, I no longer have to pick out the corn from the bag of mixed frozen vegtables that we use when we make our chicken, potatoes and rice dish!

It is a very easy and common dish in our home. All you do is throw chicken (we love chicken thighs with the bone) potatoes, vegtables (if using frozen vegtables you might want to wait a 1/2 to add them.), 1 chopped onion, 2-3 chopped tomatoes, garlic, adobo seasoning and sazon seasoning in a pot and cook till chicken is done. Serve over rice.

More good news, she didn't test positive for peanuts. Yeah for Luna! She will do a challenge in the office in about 6 months. Hopefully she isn't allergic to peanuts anymore. (unfortunetly she did test very allergic to almost every tree nut)
