Week 27 - 91 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle
Sonogram day!!
Feb 23. 2011
I am fully convinced this baby is already a prince or a princess. Yes, we got all the measurements we wanted for the new sonogram J but without a little pushing and moving, etc. This baby did not want to cooperate in any way! The baby kept putting his hand over his face, turning away, not being a good baby J FYI, the difficult side comes form his daddy!!
Anyways, the girls went with me that day. They have been asking to see the baby and also asked if I would burp the baby out so they could see it….oh gosh girls, if it only worked that way, women would be so much happier!!! They were so good sitting watching the TV screen waiting patiently for the monitor to be turned around to see their new baby brother or sister. The lady doing the sonogram was fantastic! She pointed out everything to them, including the nose, face, eyes, cheeks, the baby swallowing, smiling, etc. I was very much intrigued. They didn’t want the appointment to stop at all. Abby kept asking the nurse to bring out the baby so she could hold her. Nise wanted me to burp it out to know if she was going to have a brother or a sister.
After the sonogram, the girls stayed with the lady to get stickers and have girls chat, and I went potty and weighted myself L L So far 10 pounds J I am happy with that, but I feel like it is a lot more than 10 pounds. I lost all tone to my body!!!
Once I came back we went into the room to meet the doctor. He was FANTASTIC!!! It was like I didn’t not exist, and the girls took center stage! But anything was better than the last doctor I had!
TO sum up our appointment, baby Mendez is in the 45th percentile for height and weight. This was good to hear, bc the doctors did not want a huge baby right from the get go. I am healthy and most importantly the baby is healthy.
Next appointment is the 28 week glucose test and a checkup. Counting down to the third trimester!!!

Bon Jovi
Feb 27th, 2011
Like Frankie said….I did it my way….
I went to my first concert as a Prego woman. I felt big, huge, large, going in and out of the Verizon Center BUT managed to fit into a pre Prego shirt J So that really helped! Rob has been working crazy hours and I have been spending a lot more time with my girls, so we had all of a few minutes to get ready for the concert! I think we both needed a adult break. This was a perfect event, and it is also the second time we have scene him together. And Bon Jovi is still a good looking man J We made it with plenty of time to spare and had a nice time enjoying the company. Also we were both excited to see how the baby would do with the music. Well to much disappointment, this baby didn’t move to much, then we came to the encore. This baby was a rockin’ and rollin’ I guess we have a future lover of Bon Jovi on our hands J I was getting kicked left and right and my tummy was moving a lot J the feeling never gets old.

ever heard of one of these??
this is what is going on inside...
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take two to three days.
Happy Birthday Uncle Mike
Feb 26th, 2011
So the Mendez family planned a nice get together to celebrate Uncle Mikes Birthday! He is ??? Years old! Happy Birthday Uncle Mike!! It was suppose to be Friday, but due to a power outage, it was cancelled. So Friday night we had a smaller family dinner for the girls, Robs parents, Rob and myself. What a fun evening yesterday was. However, Saturday we had the big dinner. Yummy and tasty. The girls made a cake for Uncle Mike. One was chocolate and the other was funfetti. I think it was yummier to eat the batter though. We had a great time making it! The girls got to do a lot of the decorating also for the cake…it was way to cute. My mistake though….leaving the cake out at Wita’s house on the table and the girls, Baby John (cousin) Uncle Willie, picking at it….well at least it looked good when it arrived J J all the picking must have meant it was good also!!! And it was….mmmmm
We all gathered and had a great time! I like having the family get together because it allows this Baby Dez to hear all sorts of voices, and hopefully recognize some when we have the big debut. So Baby Dez got to hear all his / her cousins voices, grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc. It was such a nice time! IT reminded me o much of the get togethers my family and I have. Eating, talking, eating, sitting at the table complaining we are to much, and eating again, finishing with dessert J It was such a wonderful time by all. IT was such a good time, I didn’t even give Rob a hard time about working to much on a Saturday evening and arriving fashionably late…like 2 hours late. Well at least the girls and I were on time J
Even being late it was a good time, Happy Birthday Uncle Mike, may you have many many more wonderful years!!!

Disney Princess on Ice
Feb 19th 2011
So Rob and I took the girls to see Disney Princess on Ice! How cool! We had a great time! It was pretty enjoyable. BUT…the absolute best part of this whole experience this evening!!!! DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!! The lady who worked at Verizon asking me if I was ok….I said yes, I am ok, I just need to potty and the bathroom line was to long, so I need to wait, I wont be able to stand in line. Well as a formal Prego lady herself, she said in a stern voice…FOLLOW ME!! Well….kinda odd....but DEAL! I was on my way following this woman when she showed me a small hidden women bathroom. HELLO!! I fell in love with her, and so did my bladder! She was just amazing!
After much relief, I was able to go back and enjoy the second half of the show! The girls were in love with it, and thought it was so neat to see all the princess in one place skating…..OH! Did I mention we were front row…way to go rob!!!
