Happy 4th of July!

What a fun Independence Day filled with moving and a baseball game! And once again I teared up during the National Anthem, but at least today it was on the 4th of July. We went to the San Jose Giants baseball game. They are the single A team for the SF Giants. They played the Modesto Nuts which are the Rockies single A team, so it was a win win for Tyler. And the Nuts won! It was a fun game and we all had a blast. The hot dog and the garlic fries hit the spot. Then following the game there were fireworks! Such a fun day and night!





I figured out that I have a fireworks setting on my camera and I thought the pictures were pretty cool!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICKEY!

Ain't she purdy! Hope she has a good birthday!

Jessi's Birthday!

It was Jessi's birthday and they wanted to go to the beach and have a bbq. It was a good idea but when we got there it was so foggy! Who would have thought that when it was 100 degrees in San Jose that it would be 65 degrees 25 miles away at the ocean. So we changed plans came home and had a BBQ at the park by my house and then went swimming!

It was blazing hot outside so the swimming felt wonderful! I hope she had the a good birthday!





It was a fun weekend! Makes me love summer even more!

Quick story: On Wednesday Tyler and I watched the kids for the Sandy and Russel so they could go to dinner for her birthday. We were outside playing tag with one of the neighbor boy came over and was playing with us. It was so fun until the little boy starting antagonizing me telling me that I am slow because I am pregnant and that I will never catch him. So my competitive self ran and caught him it! Then I got stopped in my tracks. I am pretty sure I tore something. I could barely walk for 2 days, it hurt to even just sit and lay down. IT WAS HORRIBLE! The lesson I learned is that my playing tag days are over. PREGNANCY AND TAG DON'T MIX! lol! But good news I am doing much better now and I have learned my lesson to slow the hell down!!! Walking and swimming are my exercises of choice now!

Baseball game! Dad's Birthday!!

This last weekend we got the chance to watch the Rockies play the A's so we jumped on it! The Rockies won!! They have been doing so good lately. Makes my life a lot quieter and easier. Tyler pouts when they lose. Kind of funny but really annoying! We met Lauren and her boyfriend James up there for the game. It was a lot of fun. It was surprising to see quite a few Rockies fans. Most of which had some connection to Colorado. Tyler of course had to talk to them! They would do the fist in the air thing to each other every time the Rockies would score. So 11 times he had to find them in the crowd. Got to love Tyler!!




Another plus for going and watching the baseball game was to see Matt Holiday! He used to play for the Rockies now he plays for the A's. While the other 3 were out wondering doing there thing I was sitting in the stands watching him warm up! Man he is BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks to Tyler for getting us seats in left field so I could watch him bend over!



I know I am obsessed but he is so good looking! Hopefully next time we can sit even closer!
Once again... you have got to love Tyler. We stayed until the bitter end and walked down to the field. He was like a little kid. I think that he was hoping that all the players would come back out on the field and shake his hand! Right before the game ended there was a foul ball hit in our direction and Tyler literally dove over two rows of chairs to try and get it. IT WAS HILARIOUS!! And the poor thing didn't even get the ball. I should have ran over and helped get the ball but I could stop laughing. Luckily there was no one really left in the stadium just us and the other guy that got the ball where we were sitting. Such a good time! GO ROCKIES! Plus a random picture with another Rockies fan.





But the most important thing that happened that day was my dear OLD dad had a birthday! I called him and much to my surprise he was working. lol! The guy doesn't sit down. I hope he had a fantastic birthday! Love you dad!

Update...

1st off we went to the doctor today and everything was good to go! I am growing and so is the baby and that is what is supposed to happen I hear! lol next appointment is July 13th!
2nd we decided against buying a house and going that route. It just isn't in the cards for us at the moment. To many investors and people trying to buy that we don't really have a chance and plus it is getting a little to close to having the baby for us to add that stress in our life. So we decided to just upgrade to a new bigger apartment. It is just in the next building over in our same apartment complex. It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath and I am so excited to have more space. We have to be out of this apartment on the 20th of July and we can start moving into the new one on the 1st of July so we can take our time. But I hope we get things moved pretty fast just to get it over with. Poor Tyler has to move on his own since I am not going to be much help. It will be good for the guy! And as soon as we get moved in I can start buying stuff for the baby. We don't have any room now because Tyler has so much stuff for work so he says once we are moved that I can hit the stores! LUCKY for me SCARY for him. I will take pictures once we get all moved in and settled!
P.S. I will put baby shower pictures up as soon as I get some!

Happy Father's Day!

It is Tyler's first kind of Father's day! The baby can't really tell him just give him a good kick but it is still fun to think about. I know that he is going to make an awesome dad. The kids I watch and their friends always tell me that he will be a fun dad. I can't wait to watch him as a father. I hope he knows that the baby and I love him to death!
Also happy FATHER'S day to my dad and Ronnie. They are such good dad's and a good example to Tyler! Thanks for all that you daddy's do!!!! LOVE YOU!

Pictures of the baby!

Last night we got to go do the 3D Ultrasound thing. It was so awesome and so fun. We haven't seen the baby since the beginning of April so it was nice to see the little one and not just feel her kicking me all the time! Here are a few pictures. It is amazing how well you can see them. We go to the doctor on Monday so I will keep you posted!

Colorado Trip/ Baby shower

Okay so I finally got some pictures! We went to Colorado for a baby shower and my mom and sisters were able to come also! It was so fun! We did some site seeing and just hung out! It was so fun to have them there. We went to the Garden of the Gods, Olive Garden, shopping, bad mitten, drive in movie, fires on the deck, and so much more. Here are some pictures in random order from the trip!















The baby shower was on Saturday. It was a ton of fun! Thank you so much Terri for setting it all up and inviting everyone. It was good to see all the people and we got some great stuff! Thank you everyone for everything!



More pictures to come when I get the rest of them!

Thank you so much mom and sisters for coming! And thanks Brandi and Terri for everything you did for the shower!

Went to the doc today!

So we went to the doctor this morning and everything went well. The baby was kicking the heart monitor. It was pretty funny. It is crazy to think that from here on out we will start going every 2 weeks to the doctor. Can't believe that we are that close. It really hit me today when the doctor started asking me about my birthing options. Using words like dilating and pain meds. So crazy! Makes me so excited! Well that is all the news I have for now. We leave to Colorado on Wednesday so I am starting to pack now!

The past weeks happenings.

This week has gone by pretty fast. The weather has been so perfect so we have been doing quite a bit of swimming. More Tyler then I because I am at work in the afternoons when he goes but I have been playing with the kids on the slip n slide at there house and we did come over and swim one of the days! It is there last week of school this coming week!! PARTY!! Then they leave to Jamaica for a couple weeks so I am off!!!! While they are gone we are headed to Colorado for a few days which I am so excited for. My mom and sisters are also going to meet us there for the baby shower so it should be a fun time!


On Saturday we got invited to attend Carly's Grandpa's 90th birthday party! It was a lot of fun and not what you would expect for a 90th birthday party. It was more like 21st birthday party! It was crazy! For 90 is sure knows how to party. He even drives himself still. You would never know that is was that old. His memory is so good and he was the life of the party. But the strangest part of the whole night was when someone took him to the neighbors house and got him a stripper for his birthday present. That was so funny and shocking to me. I just can't imagine getting a 90 year old that gift let alone anyone and from what I heard he loved it. So SICK!!!



On another note we came up with a nickname for our baby. Because we don't know what the sex is and are not finding out and hate saying it I came up with the nickname ROCO! Which is the abbreviation for Ronnee or Cutler Ortiz. So now when you hear me say Roco I am referring to our baby!
On other news on the baby front. I am growing which is expected, but now I am getting heartburn like a madman. Some days are worse then others but man I hate it! I think that I am starting to swell a little at some points in the day which sucks! But other then those lovely things, things are going well! Roco moves a ton and I have been feeling really good. So I am grateful for that! I go to the doctor on the 8th next, then we are off to Colorado!

Feeling a little old today. . .

HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY HANNAH MARY!!!! I can't believe she is 16 and driving and dating. Man I feel really old. But I hope she has the best day and enjoys being 16!

And not that Jacob Riley will care but I never posted on his birthday on the 16th because I was out of town but Happy Birthday JACOB RILEY! He will kill me for this picture but if definitely sums up how funny Jacob is!

Just feel like typing...

So the baby is growing and so am I. He/she moves a ton but not when other people want to feel. Ashley wanted to feel the baby so bad but every time he would be moving he would stop as soon as she touched my belly. Such a brat! So far the pregnancy is going good. I love feeling the baby move. At night my feet hurt. Sometimes they swell a little bit. I feel like the rest of me is swelling to. I am trying to change my diet a little bit and not just eat whatever is easiest. Which is not always fun because ice cream is so good!!! Tyler has been being so good about making dinner every night so when I get home from work I don't eat junk. That has been really helpful. I was being really bad about drinking Pepsi for the caffeine when I was on my vacations and now I am trying to cut out all soda. I think that will help me feel better. My hip no longer hurts which helps so I have started my walking and little workout thing everyday so I think that now that I can get back on schedule I will start to feel a ton better.
What else is going on... Tyler's job is going good. He loves it which I am sure helps. We are going to Colorado in a few weeks for a baby shower and my mom and sisters are going to meet us there also which will be fun. Did I mention that my sister in law Stephanie is pregnant and is due the end of November and so is our other sister in law Alecia and cousin Lindsay. BABY TIME! My other sister in law Sally was pregnant also and due around the same time but sadly she had a miscarriage. Bless her heart! She is doing better now and keeping busy which I think helps her. Hope she knows we are all here for her.
Other big news is that we started the house searching thing again and we saw one the other day that we really liked. We put an offer in and we will soon find out if we got it! So keep your fingers crossed!!
Well I think that is all for now and it is getting late enough that I wont feel guilty for going to bed! Night!
