A Play on Words

Hacienda Pinilla, where JB works, held the Eco-Green Celebrity Golf Tournament this past Wednesday. Josh Duhamel played in the event and brought his wife, Fergie, to the dinner (you might of heard of her ;). They were kind enough to take a photo of some friends and me...and she took a moment to say hi to my belly (aka: Levi).

When I was thinking about what to write about in this post, I decided to do a little 'play on words' with Fergie's song lyrics to update you on what's going on with Levi and me.

Well, as you can see in the picture my baby hump has gotten bigger and I'm pretty sure my back hump has too.  My two top humps have a ways to go though. As my due date gets closer and closer, I keep thinking, I can't believe imma be a mom soon! I have to admit there are moments when I feel my emotions are more sensitive than normal, especially when I watch shows/movies that have babies in them, are romantic, or anything to do with families. But, I keep telling myself big girls don't cry and this is just my hormones messing with me. Something else I've noticed is that I am definitely more clumsy than I was before. JB thinks it's funny, but sometimes I find it a bit annoying when I'm constantly dropping things and having to bend over and pick them up, which is not as easy anymore. No one said being pregnant is glamorous, but I'm trying to make the best of it.

I have been sleeping better as of late. My legs and hips aren't as sore as they were before, but I do still wake up in the middle of the night when Levi goes boom boom pow. I don't know if he is hungry or just tired of me not being in motion. Either way, I get up and move around for a bit or eat a bowl of cereal and that usually does the trick.

I have a month and a half left before my due date and about four weeks until I leave for San Jose, so I have some requests of my son to help make this all go smoothly. 

Levi, 
Since being pregnant with you has been fairly easy so far, I'm hoping it will continue and there will be no monkey business these last 7 weeks. If you are ready to come out, just give mommy a little notice. It would be great if you could just say "here I come, mommy", but I know that's not possible. Also, when I'm in labor I promise to push really hard, but you'll have to meet me halfway and work a little to get out, so I'm not in labor for a very long time. These are just a few requests of mine, but either way I will love you long time and I've had the time of my life carrying you around, and I owe it all to you...and your daddy :)

Love,
Your Mommy

Only in Costa Rica, July ~ Another Road Story

What looks wrong in these pictures???

Imagine driving to a city that is almost the size of Las Vegas, Nevada that has only one highway in and out of the city. Now, picture ALL the cars on the 4 lane highway driving in the same direction, into the city. Weird, right? Well, we thought so. 

Last month, JB and I had to go to San Jose for our monthly doctor's check-up and this is what we experienced. We were really freaked out at first when cars were staying in the opposite lanes, not just to pass, but to drive permanently. Then, when the road was split by a median, we thought for sure this would stop, but we were wrong. This went on for almost an hour! JB did venture into the wrong lane as well, but just to pass, he was too nervous by the whole situation to stay over there.

So, the reason for this chaos? It was the last weekend (this was a Sunday) of vacation for students and therefore, most families were probably coming back from the beaches to San Jose, the largest city in Costa Rica. This was their solution for preventing major traffic problems. Don't worry, if you wanted to leave the city, you could, by the mountain road. However, this is only 2 lanes and therefore, adds about an hour of extra time to your trip.

I guess this is what they do for holiday weekends, as well....so now we know. 

Oh and here is a little something we experienced on our way home...

I wonder how long it took them to transfer all of the grain (at least that's what we thought it was)??? I'm no genius, but isn't there a faster way to do this?...oh well, nothing wrong with old school, I guess.
