The past month...

To say so much has happened over the last month is putting it lightly! I have posted many pictures with updates on us. First of all on July 4th, Luke left for Quantico for 5 months of FBI training. We are so proud of him and he is doing great! Later that same morning Ginger had her baby girl, Ella. She is too cute and i hear she is very sweet! I hope to meet her very soon!

We had our first baby shower July 11th. It was hosted by Chris Emery and Lana Estess. Everything was so perfect and we had such a good time celebrating!

Camilo took it upon himself to install an over the range microwave. I had major doubts about this project but he assured me he could do it. After 3 days, here is the final product. He did such a good job and it will save us some much needed counter space.

On July 23rd my Affiniscape friends gave me a shower. We had such a good time! i will definitely miss not seeing my friends at Affiniscape!

The yummy cake

The punch was so cute

At the end of July, Camilo suddenly came down with the H1N1 flu, otherwise known as the swine flu. This definitely scared us both because by the time we found out what he had, i had already been exposed for 5 days. My mom immediately came into town to help me take care of him. We stayed in a hotel down the street for the first 3 nights and then she disinfected our house so that it was safe for me to live in again.  I am so thankful i didn't get the flu at this late date in my pregnancy and i am so thankful for my mother coming all the way to Austin to help take care of Camilo! He is all better now, just in time for Camilito's arrival which is next week!

Poor Camilo (Duvi & Pablo were the only ones that would go near him for several days)
