18.75 (basically 19..) Weeks!! Managing to hide the bump well- haha!


18 weeks (and 5 days) Pregnant!!! 
Can you tell??

I personally feel like the doctor has dated my due date incorrectly. When you look at other people at 19 weeks you see a huge baby bump.. but mine just seemed to start popping out this week! Finally!!

All my clothes still fits which is spectacular, but we'll see how long that lasts :)

Mazuera Family Comes To Visit !

First Visitors Help with the Move-In !!! :)
It was wonderful having Mami Veronica and Papi Gonzalo here for the first few days on move-in. They were an enormous help and it was lovely to feel the new house already full of so much love!

Neither Mami or Papi hesitated to remind me that I should not be doing any heavy lifting... to which at times really made me angry-- Because AS YOU CAN SEE the belly is not even visible and I work out and lift weights all the time!!

They were just being the protective parents they get to be for the short weekend they had available, I guess. So great to have had you here! Los quiero muchisimo! Gracias por todo la ayuda que nos dieron. Y el Sancocho DELICIOSO que nos cocino Mami Veronica!!  Pueden regresar cuando quieren!! :)

<3 <3 <3 <3 




We GOT THE HOUSE!!!! :D!!


WE GOT IT!!!!!
Thank you for all of your prayers!!! :)
To answer some questions: No, we are not home owners now- haha! To BUY a house in Palo Alto would require millions of dollars. I assume this house is probably worth close to 3-5 million just from location alone! It's right in the downtown of the most sought after zip code in the US!

We are renting :), but that in itself is a huge huge huge win considering all of San Francisco and the Bay is a sellers market and prices for rent are skyrocketing with a near 32% increase in the last 2 years alone! So we are incredibly fortunate to have stumbled across this find- and!! to have landed the deal. We feel so soooo sooooooo much better here and it can really make for a Happy Home :)

our office to scan and submit our applications after only 45 minutes!!

PLEASE keep us in your thoughts! This would be a spectacular spot to raise a little one :)

THANKS!!

BABY OLIVE!!!
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
at 13 weeks 

BOOM!!!!! Healthy and hilarious baby!!!

The ultrasound took nearly and hour because stubborn Baby Olive (who takes after both Nobie and Myself) seems to love to snuggle in tight spaces and gives NO damns to any attempts to wake up. #Minnieme
The technician had me jump around, dance around, do yoga, do handstands, cough, laugh! Everything to make this sucker even attempt to move. 

We got some great video footage of Olive snuggling up 
FiNALLY we got these nice pictures and were able to finish the scan. 

Also saw Olive hiccup a bit which was so cute!!


Happy New YEAR 2016!!!
