Christmas Part 2

Simon's family gets together every year on Christmas eve. This year we all met up at Simon's sisters place for food, fun, and of course the "secret Santa" exchange. All the kids look forward to it all year long and our little man was no exception to this. He made out! Thank you Weatherbee's (Isaac's secret Santa's). I felt like I was a good girl this year too - I had a HUGE pile of gifts from all the family. All you got to do with this family is produce an heir to the thrown and your in for life. :) lol No they love me for me even if I did not give them Isaac..... well I guess it helped. :) 

Our prayer for all of you is that God would bless you this coming year and that you all would strive to have a personal relationship with him. Remember "with God ALL things are possible". Our little family is proof of that! Love you all.

Christmas Part 1

Since my mom lives in New Mexico we have made a new tradition. We get together the week before Christmas so that we can all exchange gifts and hang out. I forgot to take pictures but when I did remember it was just in time to see why Isaac had been so quiet. My sis-in-law brought all kinds of treats to make cookies. So the two of them were busy baking. 

WOW!

So #10 on my thankful list......I can tell you all now. I was pregnant in May of this year. At 3 1/2 months I lost the baby. It was extremely physically painful for me. Without going into the gory details it was pretty much pre-term labor. Well this happened the last week in August......

Then to my surprise (REALLY!!) I started getting morning sickness and all that good stuff that goes along with being pregnant. I thought maybe my body was acting weird, it just had been through allot you know, so I swept it right out of my mind. At the urging of my hubby I finally took a pregnancy test, really just to get that idea out of his mind. Instantly it turned positive....I was in shock but then quickly tried to rationalize the entire thing out. My body had just gone through quite an ordeal this must be a false reading. So I made an appointment and today I got the shock of my life.

Side note: In between all this I had some spotting so I went to urgent care and they confirmed that I was pregnant but they could not give an accurate due date, I would have to wait for my regular appointment, but all was good.

Not only was I pregnant AGAIN! But I was 4 1/2 months along. I must have gotten pregnant right, RIGHT after my miscarriage. I know I say it allot but God sure works in ways we can never fully understand. With this miscarriage I was very much at peace. It was almost odd. I felt bad for felling so at peace. No one could believe how okay I was. They all thought for sure I was a ball of nerves just waiting to fall apart at a moments notice. The only way I could explain it was that God was over our lives and I trusted what he had for us.

So Baby Garcia is due on May 31, 2009! Thank you God for being faithful to us even when we don't fully understand what or why we are in the trials we are in. Thank you for my little family that at this very moment is growing. :)

I am Thankful for.......

Here is my list this year:
1. That I can worship the Lord freely
2. That I have a wonderful Husband who works so hard for us
3. Little Isaac who is our world
4.To have great health insurance
5. A car that works & gets our family where we need to go
6. having a great family that I love so much
7. The worlds best friends, they make life fun
8. My health even when I am a little under the weather (that brings me back to #4)
9. A home that keeps us warm at night
10. I will keep #10 to myself sorry. ;)

There is much more but I need to get ready for the day. Thank you God for all you have blessed us with.

Happy Brithday

Today Dominique Micheal Aguiar was born. He came into the world at 9:20 am & was 7 lbs. 14 oz. Even though there is much concern with his Mama, he is healthy and already so loves.

Congratulations Becky & Dom. I know he will grow up to be just like his Pap and adore his Mama.

I come in thirds

This is how I explain myself usually. My other half is Simon, my other, other half is Jessica, and my other, other, other half is Becky! They know me the best & life it so great because of them. So it's been somewhat of an emotional roller coaster since one of my half's is in the hospital. Please pray for Becky that God would touch & heal her body. The news at times had not been good but we are praying for a true miracle. I know the Lord we serve is in control but I have had my moments of weakness.

God I thank you for giving me such a great Friend in Becky. She is my go to person for almost everything. We laugh & sometimes cry together. Please keep your hand over her & baby Dominique. Please get her through this and let us all remember to tell the ones we love that we love them ALL the time.

Thank God for In-Laws

So Sunday I woke up sooo sick. I was not doing so well so I had to cancel babysitting for the next few days. I felt so bad for Isaac because he pretty much had to entertain himself. So when my father in-law called on Wednesday night asking if he could pick up Isaac the next day I was all for it. He loves spending time with them & he spends the night with them on a pretty average basis. It gave me a little break but also it gave him some much needed time to play & get out of the house.

So while he was there I call to see how he was & my sis-in-law wanted to talk :

Rach:So I have to tell you something.
Me: okay what?
Rach: Okay let me say first that it's going to stay at our house.
Me: okay what?
Rach: Guess?
Me: (thinking.....a drum set, something loud???) I don't know what?
Rach: A hamster!
Me: (laughing) What? A hamster. Really?
Rach: yah, instead of going to Target & buying him a toy my dad decided to take him to the pet shop and we got him a hamster.
Me: This kid is too spoiled.
Rach: Guess what he named him?
Me: What?
Rach: Simon

So needless to say that day he got a harmonica & a Hamster (that is going to stay at his Nani & Papa's house). I am so thankful that they love my little guy soooo much. Even if it's a loud toy or something I may not be so thrilled with, I know how much he is adored. What I am really thankful for is the fact that "Simon" will be staying at my in-laws. Now that is love! All I could think was great ANOTHER animal? We already have 2 dogs & for Isaac's birthday he got a pet fish, he named him "Five" by the way. And well you know who gets to take care of them, yup you guessed it, Mommy!

Well thank you guys for spoiling him and giving his so many great childhood memories. We love you Nani, Papa, Tia Rachel, & Auntie Ina.

P.S. I will blog with some pictures as soon as I get to see " Simon".
