Mom's birthday

So we went to Colombia to celebrate my Mom's 50th birthday and to have my family meet Antonella in my belly.

To celebrate my mom's birthday we had a surprise birthday party for her and here are some of the pictures.

Uncle's Birthday

Grandma making faces, mom, and I

 

I have an aunt who is 6 years older than me, obviously growing up I spent a lot of time with her, and she got me in trouble many many times. Her husband and her have 2 kids, Valeria, my goddaughter and Nicolas, the most precocious kid I've ever met.

Javier, my aunt's husband, has his birthday a day before my mom's birthday so we went over to their place to celebrate. As you can see we had a good time.

Baby Luehmann Week 25

Week 25

Weight +13.5 Pounds

Waist +7 Inches

Cravings: Nothing in particular

Dislikes: Nothing

Week 25 was spent in Colombia with family and at an abnormal speed. Everything goes faster in Colombia, time flies faster, people walk faster, everything is in fast forward; everything except cars, traffic was pretty bad this time around.

 We had such a great time visiting family, Antonella got to hear her maternal grandparent's voices and her great grandparent's voices. Everyone, my aunts, my siblings, my cousins, everyone talk to her and told her awesome stories and how much they love her.

She wasn't moving all that much in Colombia and I was a bit concerned, but I think the crazy days we were having plus the altitude were taking a toll on her. She would kick quite a bit late at night once I was relaxing in bed, and then again pretty early in the morning, before anybody was up. That eased my worries, feeling her move is always so wonderful.

She also received gifts from a whole bunch of people, all my high school friends gave her something and everything is so cute, we'll post pictures soon. Grandma also got her some funky stuff, you'll see, and she is going to love it. 

While in Colombia we got a 3D ultrasound so her granparents, aunt Mafe and uncle Wilson could see her. She covered her face with her feet and hands for a long time, wouldn't let us see her. She was very comfortable showing us she was a baby girl though. No decorum! I had to get up, walk around for a little bit, drink a whole bunch of water and eat some chocolate. She decided to let us see her for a few minutes after that and then she was kind enough to stick her tongue out, cheeky baby. Below (past spanish version) some pictures.

La semana 25 la pasamos en Colombia con familia a una velocidad anormal. Todo pasa mas rapido en Colombia, el tiempo vuela, la gente camina rapido, 

todo se mueve en fast forward; todo excepto los carros, el trafico estuvo terrible esta vez. 

La pasamos super bien visitando familia, Antonella pudo oir la voz de sus abuelos amternos, y de sus bisabuelos. Todo el mundo, mis tios y tias, mys hermanos, mis primos, todo el mundo le hablo y le conto historias, y le dijo cuanto la quieren. 

A no se estaba moviendo mucho en Colombia, yo estaba un poco preocupada pero creo que el ritmo al que anduvimos y la altura nos estaban afectando a las dos. Tarde en la noche cuando ya estaba acostada en la cama la sentia bastante y despies volvia a sentirla temprano en la mañana antes de que todo el mundo se levantara. Eso ayudo con mis preocupaciones, sentirla moverse siempre es increible.

Ademas de todo el amor que recibio, tambien recibio una cantidad de regalos. Todas mis amigas del colegio le dieron algo y todo es divino, voy a poner fotos pronto. La abuelita Pilar tambien le dio una cantidad de cosas curiosas, van a ver, Antonella va a estar feliz. 

Mientras estabamos en Colombia nos hicimos una ecografia 3D para que los abuelos, la tia Mafe y el tio Wilson pudieran verla. Se cubrio la cara con los pies y las manos al principio, pero estaba muy comoda asegurandonos que es una niña, nada de decoro! Me toco pararme, caminar un rato, tomar una cantidad de agua y comer chocolate. Al fin decidio dejarnos verla por unos minutos y despues muy querida nos saco la lengua, es divina. Abajo un par de fotos.
