I am having a.....

BOY!!!!
Yep, we are having another baby boy. I went for my ultrasound on Tuesday and they told us. We are happy! We has only been thinking of girl names and so we are going to have to start thinking of boy names now. I am now 21 weeks pregnant. More than half way through. Yayyy! I am not big at all though. Maybe he is going to be a small baby.

In the middle of all the good news there is something kind of sad going on.
Daddy is really home sick. He wants to go to Mexico so bad, but he knows that we would not be comfortable over there and does not want to be separated from us. It makes me feel really sad for him and it makes me feel even sadder that this wonderful country can not give these people a chance. (I do not say these people in a negative way) I know that he is only here because of me and the kids, and if he had his way he would have been long gone. It makes me feel caught in the middle. I know that every time he talks to his mom she asks when are you coming and I know that does not help at all either. The thing is he only wants to go and visit. I guess I am a little insecure also. I know that he loves me, but I worry that if he goes he will meet someone else. I know I should not be like that, but all these people have told me all these horror stories about how the girls over there will basically throw themselves at him because they think that he has money and stuff. I don't know what to do nor what to think.
I personally do not want to live with his mother either. I love her to death, but I do not know how it would be living with her. I have some friends here and their mother in laws live with them and it is like they take over the kids and everything else. I am not for that. I carried them for 9 months and I would like to have a say in their lives. I do not mind sharing, but please do not try and take my spot and think that you can do it better than me.
He is going to try and hold out until his Visa appointment next year.
Maybe he is having a home sick day or few days. I hope, because I am not ready to give everything up just yet to go to Mexico. I will not have my baby in Mexico. Not being mean or anything, but he lives in the middle of no where! Nothing is there and I don't think it would be in the best interest of the kids. I have told him and told him I would go, but not to live in the middle of no where. I need to live where I can still work and provide for my kids. They have to be my main concern. I have to decide for them, they can not decide for themselves. I have to keep my family together. If only he lived in somewhat of a city- not in the middle of NOWHERE.

14 year old shot on border..please read and share with others =(

Has everyone seen the story about the 14 year old who was shot by the US border patrol? How sad. He was a kid and for throwing rocks at authority from his side of the freakin' fence he should be disciplined not killed. Poor mother of this niƱo, because that it was he was a little boy. I can not imagine how she felt. I have a son who may hang with the "wrong" crowd one day (I pray not, but you can only teach your kids not make their decisions) and he may paint a wall or throw a rock or do something like that, and yes he would deserve punishment, but no one has the right to kill a kid that is not even armed with anything, but a stone. How sad. This is really heavy on my heart. Pure prejudice.. pure hatred. They do not need unqualified people like this working on the border. They need to be trained when to pull the trigger and when not to pull it. I hope that border agent will never have peace in his heart.
Pray for the family.

Update

I can not believe I have not posted in so long.
Everything is going good. I am 19 weeks pregnant and I am going to find out what I am having next Monday! I hope it is a girl, but as long as the baby is healthy I am fine. If anyone has any Spanish name ideas please feel free to leave them! For boys and girls. I have a few, but I know I could run in to some different things. I want something really Spanish.
See what you all can come up with..... =)

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there! I have to call my mother in law tomorrow since Mothers Day in Mexico is on May 10th. So when is Fathers Day in Mexico? June 10th??? I hope everyone has an extra special day today. As soon as I get off of work I will be off to see my Granny who is cooking ham, scalloped corn, potato salad and pecan pie and those Hawaiian dinner rolls! I am really hungry.
Oh yeah pregnancy update... I am almost 4 months and I am still sick a lot of the time. I have to eat right when I am hungry because if I wait and the urge to eat has slacked I will get sick. Yesterday, Edgar was going to let me sleep late, but I got hungry and I got up and went straight to the fridge and started making a roast beef sandwich. He was like what are you doing? I said I am hungry, like right now and I have to eat. He was like oookay. I think that he thought I was playing the last time when we had to go to the Chinese place super fast. And I can not eat anything it has to be something I really want. I will be glad when this part is over.
Another thing I can't do without getting a sick feeling.. is brush my teeth.
I have to do this 3 times a day and I dread it. I don't know why, but I have always been like that when I was pregnant, but it never lasted this long. It's not the tooth paste it is the actual toothbrush in my mouth that makes me gag and makes me sick. Maybe I need a small kids size tooth brush. I am going to try that.
Anyone out there have strange things happen while they were pregnant?
A friend of mine said that she would get sick when she washed her hair.
Man, this is weird.

Happy Mothers Day!

I miss everyone

Even though I do not get to post much I still read everyone's blogs. Now since I can not read them as much I feel like I am missing out. I just wanted to let everyone know I am still here and I still try to read everyone's blogs, but some it will not let me log on because they have the word sex in their blog. AHEM. You know who you are. =) =) I am just kidding.. your blog is my favorite and it is the one I log onto 1st. And if you do not know who you are..... Gringa-n-Mexico, your blog is the 1st blog I ever read and it is the 1st blog I tried to log onto today, but I couldn't. If I knew how to send you a best blogger award I would, but I don't know how so I can't, but your blog is MY favorite. Just wanted to let you know!
I like everyone else's too, but this blogger is a good writer, she should think about writing a book about her adventures in Mexico!
Hope to talk with everyone later.

Arizona law---- that's crazy!

Oh my gosh, I was looking at the new Arizona law and that is crazy! I mean if someone looks Hispanic, they can ask them for papers! My son is 15 months and he looks completely Mexican, are they going to ask him for papers (or ask me for papers?) They are going to ask the wrong person and they are going to end up going to court. It looks like that it would be racial profiling or a form of discrimination. I hope that other states do not follow this ignorant example of how to correct a problem. I understand that they need to do something about their problems, but this is out of the world crazy! This seems so weird that we are now living in a country where you are going to be questioned and put on trial just because of the color of your skin. Wow. Am I over reacting or is this just unrealistic?

I should be ashamed

I should be ashamed of myself because it has been almost a month since i have posted anything. I just have not had much time. I am working during the day until June and it is hard to get on the computer long enough to post.
We are all doing good! I am loving the married life. It does not seem so different though. I mean I have a new name and I feel closer, but not so different. I guess because we have been living together anyway for a while.
Sorry to post so short, but someone could be watching me.
