It's a boy!

We finally had to do the sonogram where we could find out the sex. We went for this sonogram on Monday October 13th, and guest what? we arrived to the doctor's office without the doctor's referal. And we wanted to do it that day because Tuesday we were leaving to Orlando.
So Bryan drove like a madness back home to pick up the referal and came back just on time to the sonogram:)
It was kind of a tiring sonogram. They checked EVERYTHING, the right arm, left arm, right foot, left foot, femur, back, head, etc...it took about and one hour and a half and the technician wasn't sure about the sex so she called the doctor and the doctor said: Yes you are having a boy! Bryan was thrilled!!! He was dancing and singing when he came back home (shhhhh....)
I 1st wanted a girl but then I was thinking I will have my little boyfriend and I have always had more guy friends than girlfriends.
Anyways I have already told Bryan he owes me the girl....ha-ha.
We had already the name for a baby boy and we have decided to name him
TYLER FREDERICK BROOKS.
The name had to be something that was easy to pronounce in Spanish & English and that the sound of it wouldn't change in any language. BTW we don't like nicknames.

Bryan meets Tyler


On September 5th we had another doctor's check up and Bryan came with me to the doctor's appointment. Since then he has always being very involve with the pregnancy and wanted to know all about it.

The doctor decided to perform another sonogram and asked Bryan to look at the monitor, to our surprise the baby was making some acrobatic jumping and it seemed like he was flying on the air. The doctor told us you see how he is moving? and of course Bryan looked at me and said I can't believe he is moving like that already! so I said to him: well...you know how the mother is, right? so don't expect the baby to be a quiet one:)

At fourteen weeks still no signs of any pregnancy sickness. Sometimes I was sleepy and sometimes I was going to bed at 8pm but really all my pregnancy symptoms have been nothing compared to what other women have gone through and again we just give thanks to God for that blessing.

We found out about Tyler


It was the weekend of August 8th, 2008. Evelyn's high school friend Claudia Z. told Evelyn it isn't funny your are missing your period! maybe you are already pregnant. And I thought it was another stressful month where I usually missed my period, so it was something normal.
Friday August 8th after Bryan came home from work. I asked him to go out for drinks and then to CVS to get a pregnancy test.
We came back home and I really didn't want to do the test. So I waited until before going to bed. Finally I did the test and within 3 seconds it was positive so I call Bryan! COME HERE! He saw the results and said: I feel light headed...so I said to him: YOU FEEL LIGHT HEADED. I answered I will give you a real one...hahaha.
That 1st night I wasn't able to sleep thinking about the 1st pregnancy results. Next morning we went to our family doctor and he sent us for lab tests but it was Saturday so we couldn't do the lab tests until MOnday.
He suggested to do another home pregnancy test and if it was positive it was 99% that I was pregnant. Of course I didn't buy one but two pregnancy tests and both came positive. Then I was crying for sometime thinking about my body changes and the new chapter that we were going to face in the coming months and years. Of course I called my friend Claudia Z. and told her you are the biggest witch ever!....haha the funny thing is we are both due in February and probably pushing at the same time...ha-ha.
On Monday I went to my obstetrician where he inmediately perform a sonogram and within minutes the doctor said ok now let's see the baby and he said: Yes, your baby is growing and here is your 1st picture. I hold the picture and was still in shock to see the little one there. The best thing about all this it that I was 9 W 5 days when I went to the doctor so I already almost passed the 12 weeks. And never felt any sickness. We thank God for that everyday!
