Embarazo / Pregnancy

Pues, ha sido muy largo el camino hasta ahora, por lo malo que siempre me siento en el embarazo. El primer trimestre practicamente pasandolo entre la cama, el sofa y el aseo para ya sabeis. Lo unico que en este embarazo note al bebe la primera vez ya a los 12-13 semanas! El medico no me creia, pero es verdad. Y despues ya me empeze a sentir mejor. Hasta fue a un baile en la capilla y lo pase tan bien que no me creia la mejoria del todo. La comida es lo unico que me frustraba un poquito. No podia comer casi nada que disfrutaba, y comia solo para no pasar angustias. Perdi 4 kilos en los primeros 3 meses y no ganaba nada de peso despues. La gente cada vez mas me decian que hay pastillas que podia tomar para reducir los acidos del estomago (los cuales me impedian comer lo que sea) y al final fue al medico de cabecera y me ponia un simple protector de estomago! Yo estaba asombrada que con eso se me quitaria el problema, y estaba bastante esceptica. Pero empeze a tomarlo y todavia no me deja comer de todo, pero ampliaba mi dieta muchisimo!! Hasta me comi dos boles de tiramisu de fresas ayer (que es mascarpone, nata, fresas y bizcocho-todo cosas que no podia comer antes)!!!!!!!!!! Yupiiiiiii!!!
Me siento muy bendecida con la ciencia que hay hoy en dia y con medicos que se preocupan de verdad y buscan una solucion!
Bueno, al final queda por decir que esperamos nuestra tercera princesa con mucha ansiedad ya, aqui os mando un video de la ecografia en 3D hace un mes aprox.

Well, it has been a long road so far, feeling as bad as I always feel in the pregnancies. The first quarter almost always between the bed, sofa and toilet for you know what. The only thing is that I noticed in this pregnancy the baby the first time 12-13 weeks! The doctor didn't believe me but it's true. And then I started to feel better. I even went to a dance in church and I felt so well that I couldn't believe it. The food is the only thing that frustrated me a bit. I could not eat almost anything to enjoy, and I ate just to avoid being sick. I lost 4 kilos in the first 3 months and after that I gain any weight neither. More and more people told me that there are pills that could be taken to reduce stomach acid (which prevented me from eating anything) and finally went to the family doctor and he put me on simple stomach protector! I was amazed that it would remove the problem, and I was pretty skeptical. But I started taking it and still doesn't let me eat everything, but it expanded my diet so much! I even ate two bowls of strawberry tiramisu yesterday (which is mascarpone, cream, strawberries and cake - all things that I could not eat before )!!!!!!!!!! Yipiiiiiii!
I feel very blessed with the science today and doctors who care for you and seek a solution!
Well, needless to say that we expect our third princess with great anxiety and, here I send you a video of 3D ultrasound from about a month ago.

Bebe / Baby!

Bueno, por fin parece que lo hemos logrado! Despues de mucho intentar y unas perdidas, vamos a tener otro miembro en la familia! Este va a ser otro bebe de verano, nacera para mitades de Agosto y por sentimientos queremos que sea niño. Ademas es lo raro, que con las chicas siempre me venian ideas de nombres de chica y no podiamos elegir un nombre de chico. Y ahora es al revers, todo lo que me viene a la mente son nombres de niño. No se si eso tiene que ver algo, asi que ya veremos lo que va a ser.
Pero estamos ilusionados! Lorena y Nerea ya estan diciendo lo que van a ayudar de cambiarlo y bañarlo y enseñarle a andar, etc! Estan para comerselos! Le ponen musica a la barriga, le dan besitos, para que crezca sano y fuerte!

Well, it seems that we finally made it! After a lot of trying and a few losses, we are going to have another member in the family! This one is a summer-baby too, it will be born in the middle of August and we feel like it's going to be a boy. The funny thing is, that with the girls I could only think of names for girls y we couldn't decide on a boy's name. And now it's just the opposite, the only name I can think of is boy's names. I don't know if that makes sense, so we'll see what it will be.
But we are excited! Lorena and Nerea are already saying, that they're going to help with the changing and the bathing and teaching him to walk, etc! They're so cute! And then they come and put some music for the baby and give kisses on the tummy, so it will grow and be strong enough to come out!

Cumple Nerea / Nerea's birthday

Se que no hemos puesto nada en mucho tiempo, pero ahora me tengo que poner las pilas otra vez. Nerea ya cumplio 3 años y queria una fiesta de Little Einsteins. Asi que nos lo curramos y al final salio bastante bien. Venian muchos amiguitos y el suelo al final estaba cubierto de juguetes y niños.
Gracias Nerea por estar en nuestra vida y ser tan alegre que siempre nos haces reir, aunque estas enfadada!

I know we haven't been very good lately in updating this blog, but I want to start again. Nerea turned 3 the other day and wanted a Little Einsteins party (which is pretty hard over here I found out, because in the stores they don't have a lot of things). But we crafted up a few things and in the end it turned out pretty good I think. A lot of friends came and in the end the floor was filled with presents of new toys and kids.
Thank you Nerea for being in our family and for being you, always making laugh, although you're mad!

Excursion con los ponies / Ward-outing with ponies

Como una chica del barrio tiene dos ponies y los tiene en un establo en medio del bosque verde precioso que hay alrededor de Viena, nos invito a pasear con ella. El tiempo estaba medio que pero pasamos un buen rato y los ninos ni te digo. Disfrutaron mucho turnandose subir a los ponies o correr por todas partes. Jose Carlos lo paso bien tambien, hasta el momento que le dije que habian garrabatas aqui que mordian a los humanos y hay que ponerse proteccion (normalmente hay que vacunarse, pero no lo hemos hecho todavia), entonces ya no le gusto tanto. Pero bueno, pocas veces pasa que te muerden. :)

One of the girls in our ward has 2 ponies and her stable is in the middle of the forest around Viena, and so she invited us to ride with her for an afternoon. The wheather was a bit funny, but it was ok and the kids had a good time anyway. They had fun taking turns riding on the ponies and running around. Jose had a good time too, until I told him that there were ticks that bit people (and not just animals) and that we should put on some protection (normally you would get vaccinated, but we didn't do it yet). Then he didn't like it that much anymore! :) But oh well, it doesn't happen that often.

Salida 1 de mayo / Outing 1st of May

El primer de mayo decidimos salir un poquito y mientras en casa estaba lloviendo, nos escapamos a pasar el dia al rio Danubio que fue precioso. Aunque nuestros amigos Miguel y Rachel se equivocaban en el camino un poquito, al final si que saliamos donde queriamos y paseamos por una ciudad pequenita preciosa. Valio la pena ir.

On the first of May we decided to go out and while it was raining at home, we escaped to spend the day on the Danube-riverside which was beautiful. Although Miguel and Rachel took us a bit the wrong way, in the end we found a beautiful little town to go for a walk. It was definitely worth the while.
