It's MAY!!!
My my my. I was thinking about last May.. so much has changed since then. Last May I was re-adjusting my life, again. Derek was on month 2 of his Afghanistan deployment and I was home feeling sorry for myself. just kidding. :) And I was just anxiously waiting for that deployment to be DONE with. Thank God that I don't have to worry any longer about deployment or being apart from my husband. Well much has changed since last year, and looking at this month it sure has. We are officially ALMOST to month 5 of this pregnancy. and in 1 week we close on our HOUSE! How exciting to know that we did it ALL on our own without ANYONE's help. Amazing to see how God works when your life is devoted soley to him. I often have people ask me how I do it. Wait, "How I do what?" I ask.. they say you have everything. WRONG. I am just beyond blessed my My Savior and anytime anyone asks me I always, without a doubt give God glory because he has been the only one who has made my life successful. and without God, whoa.. I don't even want to know where I'd be. Anyways, Besides being pregnant, buying a house and all that jazz, I must also throw in the mix that I will, again be a college graduate. This time with a bachelors. I'll have my BA in Business Management with emphasis on global business. Amazing huh? I've been in college for 6 years now and I've spent countless hours on homework and invested thousands of dollars into my education to get a SHEET of nice paper. lol But I can say that I will be DONE with school BEFORE the baby gets here, ACTUALLY 1 Week before the baby is supposed to be here. How awesome is that?! I think its pretty awesome. But thought I'd share and update. Its been a while. :)

This song just reminds me of my husband. HE does so much for me and baby girl.
Sanctus Real - “Lead Me”
I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying...
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”
I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying...
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”
So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be
Oh, Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won't You lead me?
To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can't
Don't want to leave them hungry for love,
Chasing things that I could give up
I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone

Welcome to the world, Naomi Adriana Sanchez
Last time I updated I mentioned that we'd be having our monthly doctors appointment. Well we went and we were sure the doctor was going to be able to tell if we were going to have a boy or girl but the little person didn't want to work with us... He OR She had their legs closed the whole time. The doctor even made me move my belly and sit up to see if that would do the job, nope. That little turd... wait, does this mean that this child is going to be stubborn? Golly, If they are anything like me I think we're gonna have some problems.. LOL. So, we then just scheduled a 4D ultrasound on the 15th, friday. Hopefully they will be able to tell if its a he or she. I'm so anxious is knowing already. I just want to go out and purchase a whole bunch of stuff.. I'm excited.. the time seems to be flying by which is good. Arizona is beginning to get a tad hot so I am hoping to not be a not-so-grumpy-pregnant-woman. I've been stocking up on shorts and sandals. and maternity clothes. So I am hoping that this summer is a good one for me.
In other news... My sister Vanessa and my Brother in law Manuel welcomed my new neice Naomi Adriana Sanchez into the world on April 7th, 2011 at 10:37 AM weighing 7 pounds 1.6 ounces. 19 inches long. And I must say, not because she is M neice but she is unbelievably beautiful. You know how newborns have to take a few days to get cute? well, not Naomi or Mariah.. They were instantly beautiful kids. It's so funny because Naomi is a little screamer. When she wants something she lets out this little scream. its actually to die for because she lets you know what she wants.. And its too funny because she likes the pacifier! Mariah didn't like the paci ever! But its so awesome to be able to experience what its like to have a newborn around. Actually it is kind of scary. because reality has sunken in that in a little over 4 months I will be having my own child. frightening huh? LOL.

Its' a new season, It's a new day... A fresh anoiting... is coming my way!
Well its seems as though its been ages since I've last updated this blog so I thought I'd give everyone an update and let everyone know EVERYTHING. Well today I am 15 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Whoa! who would'a thunk? Crazy to think that im a little less than 6 months I am going to be a mom. I mean I know I rock at being an auntie, I LOVE being an aunt. I get little butterflies thinking about my neice throughout the day, that when I think how I will be as a mother I'm actually quiet scared about that one! I mean, we buy Mariah pretty much WHATEVER she wants and there is no problem to that but when I began to think, "is my child going to be a spoiled rotten brat?" LOL well we will hope not, actually I don't forsee myself being one of those mothers who lets their kid scream in the middle of a retail store because the kid didn't get that toy they wanted. Anyways, back to subject I am exctited. Hoping for the best.. Haven't gotten sick ONCE! well besides Hay Fever, pregnancy wise not once. And I am happy that I haven't. I am finally starting to show a baby bump. and people are beginning to rub my belly... (totally AKWARD) its weird when you have people just come up to you and start rubbing your belly in a circular motion, hey yo, give me a hug instead. Leave baby alone. :)
In other news my work hours have changed as of today, which I am not a fan of. I'm working 5am-4pm, Monday thru Friday with Weds off. Not too shabby, but going to school full time and work I'm not sure how that is going to cut it. I'm already tired because of this pregnancy so we'll see how it goes. I'm actually excited to have a day of rest off.
Derek and I began teaching the Jr.Youth group on Sundays and Thursdays at church. Sunday was our very first lesson with the kids, and I must say it was quite a success. I remember how I was when I was their age trying to be in church and learn the Bible. But the amazing thing about each and everyone of these kids is that they KNOW Jesus and the Bible. Our first lesson we decided it would be best to start from the beginning, where everything started, Genesis 1-2. Derek did the majority of the speaking but I mostly observed and listened (Let me say, God is so good. I never thought in a bajillion years that I would ever picture my husband teaching God's Word, and I was and still am impressed, he put a smile on my face) ANYWAYS, We taught on how God created the world in 6 days, and on the 7th day he rested. We only had 6 kids in the class and we each assigned everyone to read from the passage that we were doing the study on. At the end of the lesson, we had each kid draw a picture from one of the days God created something, I took the 7th day. Every single kid put so much effort in drawing something God created. It was actually amazing, cause these kids' minds are sponges. They just kept listening and asking questions. It was actually pretty cool and I'm so excited to see where God takes us next since we are officially apart of the Christian Education department at our church. :)

2nd Ultrasound. 8 Weeks
So, I am 8 weeks pregnant. I feel so sick. My appetite is shot. I feel lightheaded and sick all the time. Every smell I think is disgusting. I've become quite emotional, I cry over everything. I kinda hate how much of a sap I am becoming! :) Anyways, Derek is doing quite well with helping me cope. He has actually be quite amazing. He has been perfect in helping me adjust. He says little comments here and there that kinda make me chuckle. But he has been packing my lunch everyday. Constantly asks me if I took my prenatal vitamins. Its actually kinda cute. Today at 4:10 we have an ultrasound to confirm if we are having 1 baby or 2! yes, that is right. first ultrasound showed 2 babies. So today, hopefully we will be able to find out HOW MANY! :)
