Halloween costume

Here is a pretty cute picture of Tessa as a little tootsie roll. She wasn't a huge fan, but she sure was cute!!

Tessa's Blessing

Tessa was blessed on Nov 1. Grandma Joyce, Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Mary were able to attend from my side of the family. Mike's parents also were able to make it! Grandma Joyce was a huge help with getting things ready. She came in the day before and unfortunately had to go the morning after. Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Mary arrivd in Marble Falls on Friday, we had fun playing in San Antonio together on Saturday. Grandpa gave her a very sweet, special blessing(THANK YOU!)which she cried all the way through. The bishop's wife (Timi) says this means she'll have a great singing voice. I hope she's right because my genes sure won't do the trick! Here are a few pictures from afterword.

Just pictures

Sorry about the quality, almost all of these are from my phone. Enjoy!!

Tessa Lynne Sierra

Catching up!

I've been terrible about keeping up with my blog. Not much has happened other than baby news. Tessa tried coming at 33 weeks, they stopped labor at the hospital. At 36 weeks she tried coming again. The on call doctor tried to stop labor again, but she kept coming, so he called my doctor to come in and deliver her. Then she got cold feet and we quit progressing. Here we are at 39 weeks, still having contractions, but nothing too terrible. I'm almost dilated to a 4. If Tessa doesn't decide to come by Wed, Aug 5, they are going to induce labor. My blood pressure hasn't been too high, but my doctor has been watching it carefully. Here is a picture of me today, one week shy of her due date.

RC Car

Mike has been building an RC car to race and it is really coming along. He's got it running now and it's a lot of fun! Here's a picture of it.



My belly has also been coming along. Here we are at almost 5 months. Time is really flying!

Expecting

I went to Subway today. While I was there another customer asked me if I was expecting a little one. How exciting! It doesn't look like just fat anymore, my belly looks like a baby belly! I was very excited haha.
