First day taking care of Mya alone again and the little princess wore me out. I can't believe she turned 3 months old on tuesday. She's so funny. Gosh, I love her so much. I've felt a bit bad in the past few days because I haven't been feeling so well so Franny has been taking the brunt of her care-taking. Luckily I didn't have nausea today at all really. Just tired and an extreme aversion to food. Can you believe the only think I can eat is processed soup? Cup O Noodle or Campbell's Chicken Noodle. I know, gross, but at least I can blame it on hormones. My bbs were gone for the whole day too, but they just came back 10-fold a half hour ago. What is up with that? O'well. I strained a ligament the other day so it has been hurting me a lot when I sleep or when I sit up or roll over. This is the same ligament that will stretch later in pregnancy when my tummy gets big. I guess I'm getting a head's start with the pain. I hardly feel it when I walk though. I tell you this all so strange. Sometimes I don't even feel preggy at all. Sometimes, I want to sleep ALL day long. On Tuesday, Franny, Mya, and I saw the baby's heartbeat. It was so emotional. I still have a few more weeks before we can feel more secure with the pregnancy. It is worrying me as I'm sure it has with all the mothers before me, but I'm trying not to think about it all to much. Thank goodness Mya has been keeping me busy with her cute and funny self.

Mya's little cousin came out yesterday at 7lbs. 10oz and 21 inches. Name to be determined, but Verna is doing well.

Didn't do much today. Franny came home and slept the majority of the day. So did Mya. Woke them both up to go to church at St. Anne's. Arlene, Noel, and Brady met us there. Mya seemed to be grumpy a lot today. She was good in church, but started to act up at the very end. She peed and needed to be changed. After mass, we all went to light candles. One for my baby, and another for someone else's baby. We saw Mom and Dad Mendoza there, too. Mya started dogging out Franny's uncle. It was so funny.

We were so hungry so we decided to eat dinner at Massimos. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice. Mya loved just looking around, but she still wasn't smiling. Brady finally got her to smile at the end. She was still pretty good though. She let us eat in peace. Hehehe. She was especially good when her Uncle Noel and Auntie Arlene held her.

I'm tired and sleepy. Mya's wide awake. Ron just called and told me he wants to stop by tomorrow because he bought Mya some stuff. How sweet.

I felt totally regular this morning...energetic, not lazy, no other symptoms...then all of a sudden about an hour ago, everything is back! It's playing tricks on me, darnit. Well, it seems like the news is spreading pretty fast. I am going to try and not think about this as much anymore. I can get obsessed with the symptoms and over-analyze things. One of the reasons we decided to not keep it a secret like everything else is because this is definitely a miracle and we want to enjoy it. If we keep quiet and something happens, then we would not have celebrated at all. And even though my gut tells me that it won't be that way, either way, it won't change anything. If it is meant to be, it will happen. I already have my precious little miracle Mya and I am just blessed to be where I am right now. It is amazing how God answers your prayers. If anyone ever had doubts...He really listens to you, even when you think he's not. And just when you forget about what you asked for, he shows you that He hasn't.

I was a little tired earlier this morning and feeling a bit sick, but I feel better now. I am planning to go on a bland diet for the next day. The advice nurse said that it was perfectly fine to do so and it won't be bad. I am feeling overwhelmed, but overall very calm considering. I still can't believe this is happening. Never thought it would. I am still cautious, but extremely happy. I never thought I would want something so bad when I just told myself a week ago that I did not want to be in a situation like this. But hey, God has a plan for all of us and I couldn't be more thankful for the plan he has me on.

It appears that some people are not as happy. Well, I understand about this, but when a miracle happens, it's just a little sad that people so close to you can't share in your joy. Bygones.

On the other hand, the GP's are ecstatic. =)

It was so hot today. Mya was only in a diaper for the majority of the day. I did a lot of cleaning. The house needs so much work. I just washed Mya's clothes, folded them, organized her closet...and still need to do a third load. I am washing our CK sheets and duvet right now, and gave the master bathroom a very thorough cleaning. I also made some thank you cards from Mya's party. I know, we are hella lagging on those. I don't have some addresses, like Chris and Roxy's, the Buccats, the Austrias because I heard they moved again, the Tangs, etc.

Mya is asleep right now which is nice because I probably have the whole night to clean and catch up on a few things. Still working on kftb website, although I have done all of the pages that I can do so far...i'm just waiting for more text from them to complete the other pages. I was so happy to receive the check in the mail today because we can use the money. They are really fast. I only invoiced them last tuesday, so that was pretty darn fast. I was joking with Francis today about how technically we're co-workers as long as I'm Kftb's Web Designer, and he replied with a sarcastic remark about how he wanted a hot inter-office affair with me. LOL.

Also worked on little Matthew's website as a favor to Liz and Chak. They asked me way back in August to do it, and that was way after the IVFs and way before we knew we would be blessed with Mya, so I agreed. I probably can't do any more personal sites for free in the future though. I have to devote my time on paid accounts, especially since I am thinking of increasing my marketing and pr for our service within a month or two.

Franny promised to clean up all his clothes that have been accumulating in the upstairs. We are donatiing a lot of clothes to the Cancer Research center. He also promised to do the taxes today so we can have our first picnic as a family tomorrow, after church. It should be fun. I can't wait!
