Major weight gain = early glucose testing

Welp, my doc wasn't very happy with me during our last visit with her. She wasn't very happy with the weight I've gained since I've been pregnant. WHOOPSY! She did not buy the 'I just got back from vacation' excuse. So she asked me to take an early glucose test. I remember looking over at Josh and we both had the hand-in-the-cookie-jar guilty looks on our faces. Well I think it's also safe to say that's what got me in to this mess in the first place. Too many sweets for this girl! 🙊 I never used to crave sweets when I was pregnant with Brandon. This pregnancy has been so completely different in every way. More bad than good I'm sad to say. Oh well, I'm still trying to enjoy this pregnancy as it may be my last one (according to josh). 

I went in this early morning just to get it over with. I'm a very superstitious person, so I fasted again this time even though it's not asked that you do and I even picked the same flavor drink as last time. I was trying to get luck on my side as much as possible! As I was sitting there trying to pass the time by reading my book, I had this nervousness inside me that got worse as time passed. I also began feeling nauseous ugh! It doesn't take much for me to feel nauseous nowadays. Nausea has been my biggest problem this time. It's pretty intermittent and will usually go away before I feel the need to hurl! Although there has been a hand full of times when i had to visit the toilet boo! I'm really trying to soldier up since my second trimester is quickly approaching and I just don't want to be that whiney pregnant chick. 

Anyway, I just received my glucose test not to long ago and I am so happy to say that I PASSED! I still have to take the standard one when I get into my 3rd trimester, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there! But for now 'Let them eat cake!' 😉

Off to Disneyland (day one)

We left early Friday morning for our first family trip to Disneyland. Our last family vacation was to Hawaii about 3 years ago. So this trip was very much overdue.

He was so happy to see the planes

The last time we took off for the same flight I was pregnant with Brandon ;)

Brandon did well on the flight. He fell asleep shortly after we took off and the last half he kept himself entertained with his bag of toys and 2 trips to the bathroom. 

We were accompanied bay Josh's family, Marcus, and Debbie. We stayed with Joshua's Aunt Elsa in her beautiful house located about 45 min away from Disneyland. His family from the Trias/Perea/Arayata were also there as well. We were able to see a few of them, but it was tough with the others as our schedules conflicted.  

Our first day of Disneyland everyone was super excited. I've been to Disneyland many times, but seeing your child experience Disneyland for the first time just blows all of those trips out of the water. 

His 3 ride of the day!

Happy 60th birthday Disneyland!

Half way through our first day a huge thunderstorm came through and stuck around for a few hours... This really threw a wrench in the gears. So this kinda forced us to take lunch break and Brandon conveniently decided to take a 2 hour nap during the downpour.

So we decided to just buy ponchos and soldier up! The person that we were most worried about dealing with the rain (Brandon) was the one who didn't mind the rain one bit. This was such a huge relief! 

Daddy was not very happy with the rain

We got to ride all of the rides we wanted except Peter Pans flight. The line was averaging about an hour! We had another day to spend at the park so we decided to save that for our last day! 

Oh, we also had to add the parades and fireworks for the last day too as they were cancelled due the stupid the rain. 

So we spent the next day relaxing and spending time with our so cal family, cause we knew we had a long day ahead of us the next day! 

Baby Roque #2 on the way...

Have you seen these hooligans?!? Brandon will be on big brother duty February 12th 2016! 

Bed time according to Brandon

Found Brandon on our bed...

Me: what are these doing on our bed?

Josh: babe, I dunno I don't make the rules
