Enjoying Brevard County!

Well, now that we are so close to the due date, we are sticking close to home and have been exploring quite a bit of Brevard County these past few days. I am feeling good - tired at times, swollen and with some aches and pains, but doing well. The doctor says that I am already dilating (yay!) and we are just waiting for the baby to engage into position. At least he is head down which is good. So Paul has me walking marathons (just kidding) and I've been trying to sit on my exercise ball a lot and keep moving. That's the best thing I can do at this point so he comes early or on time. Please pray for us that we have a healthy and good delivery soon! Enjoy some of our recent pictures...

Paul's cousin Andrea came to stay with us for a few days during her spring break. Unfortunately, the weather was pretty chilly, but she still managed to have a nice time and get some sun. We had to go to the beach since it's only 10 minutes away even though it was cold!

Sebastian loved playing with Andi. He had so much fun playing with her and asks about her on a daily basis now. The other day he got in his car and when I asked him where he was going he said he was going to see Andi. It was too cute.

We went out on the beach and took some impromptu pictures of Sebastian loving his little brother. He loves to give him "carinitos" and give him kisses. I wish it wasn't so dark and I wasn't wearing such a loud shirt. Oh well! =) I'm down to the bottom of the barrel in terms of what clothes fit me now!

Saturday we went to the Strawberry Festival in Melbourne. Sebastian got to see the fire truck up close.

Yummy....having strawberry shortcake with Mami.

Still shot of "ojitos," Sebastian rolling his eyes.

Me at 37 weeks and 4 days. Only 17 days to go!

Our family. I find myself getting sentimental at these last shots of us as a family of three! So many changes are in store for us just days away! These pictures are at the Florida Institute of Technology Botanical Gardens which are only a few minutes from our house. It was a great place to walk around and enjoy the great weather.

Sebastian with his Nana and Abuelita.

As we were trying to get a picture of the boys, Sebastian thought he'd try on Papa's hat. Good thing it didn't go flying, because below that bridge was a long way down and a little river! It was pretty funny.

This weekend we took out more baby things. Sebastian was helping Daddy pick out some baby toys. He liked seeing these "new" toys that he doesn't remember.

King of the House. Enjoying the Lazy Boy chair as he watches his favorite Mickey Mouse Club House on TV. Hot Dog!

Oh Cristina! You're in my thoughts and prayers as your due date approaches. G2 is already so deeply loved and anticipated... as all babies should be! (I know, don't end a sentence with a preposition....)

Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your continued postings after you have time to recover! God bless you and your medical team!
