If I knew where Havi's mute button was, I promise I wouldn't abuse it! I would save it for situations that seem to be happening lately when we're out in public...
Example 1: We pass someone with dark skin and she in her -anything but quiet- voice she says, "Her face is brown!" I try to help the situation by saying, "Yes, isn't she pretty?". Luckily people are out of ear shot when she talks about how they need to go wash their face.
Example 2: As you read this, consider what's eye-level to a 2 1/2 year old walking in a crowd. Randomly she'll let me know when we pass by someone with a large rear end. In that l o u d, squeaky, distinct, hard to miss voice she'll say, "She has a big bum!". How do I save that situation?!

April 23rd

She's lucky enough to share her birthday with her Grandpa Montaño... we sure miss him- Happy Birthday LeRoy Sr.!Friday, April 17, 2009
Just a week ago
First: Fly to Pittsburgh to pick up Jill.
Next: Hershey, PA. Tour of the factory by some cows, lunch at the Hershey Pantry... yum.
Then on to Philadelphia (FYI, if you take a wrong turn looking for Independence Hall it's not hard to end up in New Jersey).
Here's our group (Kelsy behind the camera) in downtown Philly, walking around Independence Hall and the liberty bell museum.
Jill and me taking on Rocky's training routine.
Wicked was unbelieveable. What a great show. I've had the sound track running non-stop ever since.
Easter Sunday morning we got up and went to church in the Manhattan Temple building, then walked through Central Park. I loved Central Park, everything was blooming, the sun was shining, it was really really pretty. Afterward we had a delicious brunch at Josephina's- a cute little place just around the corner from the church, then took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.
I'm editing this trip for blogging purposes, because if I included every detail it'd be a really l o n g post. These are just a few pictures of some highlights- and if I'd taken a picture of my sandwich on Saturday, that would be on here as a highlight for sure... mmmm.

We arrived Saturday morning, and let me tell you, having a day completely dedicated to shopping and eating is an awesome way to do NYC. If it wasn't raining, I probably would have spent a lot more money that day, so it's probably a good thing we got soaked.

Overall, this was a five-star trip with my mom and sisters. I love my family!!!!

To Peek Or Not To Peek
Pregnancies 1&2:
Physically- Pretty easy. Normal soreness at the end, but not enough to stop me from playing some volleyball the week before I had Havi. A little more tired than usual.
Morning sickness- none. Slightly upset stomach when empty.
Cravings- anything sweet. That's not a pregnancy thing, though. Nothing too outstanding.
Aversions- nope.
Emotionally- yeah, they got to me. I sobbed (not just a sniffle or two) through King Kong when I was expecting Havi.
Pregnancy 3 (up to now, 16 weeks):
Physically- I'm so tired. My poor family is having to make do with a 50% mom lately. I'm already sore in the belly area.
Morning sickness- ugh. It's finally subsiding, but still shows it's ugliness once a week or so. Better than everyday like it was.
Cravings- tomato based foods. Spaghetti (normally not crazy about). Pickles. Cheese. Red meat... this was weird because I've been off red meat since I had Havi. Back on now.
Aversions- sweets. They made my stomach hurt and are starting to give me heartburn. Does this stop me from eating sweets? Heavens no.
Emotionally- Still affected. I got choked up listening to a Taylor Swift song this morning.
So... my curious side wants to know if the differences in this pregnancy have to do with a different gender, or is it just because my body is 3 years older than the last time I was pregnant. Hmmm. We went to an appointment today, and if the kid had cooperated we could have seen and satisfy that curiosity. I was looking forward to it, and so was LeRoy. But the kid was very modest and we couldn't tell. Now I'm thinking it's kind of fun to wonder, and I'll just let us all wonder until September. LeRoy isn't 100% on board with this idea, but I'll figure out a way to convince him (he's a sucker for back tickles). So, if you're curious, sorry! We'll find out on his/her birthday!
