Looking Good!

We had a couples weekend at our church and it was very fun! We had great workshops and a formal dinner so the gals got to dressed up! It was my first time after my pregnancy wearing a formal dress... man, it was so hard to find some thing that'd fit my upper body and allow to breastfeed at the same time. That's the problem with most of my clothes lately. They don't fit at the "feeding area" or if they fit I can't wear it cause there is no access to my hungry baby! Plus, if baby decides to sleep, the feeding area increases in size even more, (since there is no hungry baby emptying it) meaning a normal outfit becomes tighter and "things" start to popping out by their own! Anyway, here are some pics of some couples looking good.

It's not Easy!

My lil boy started getting a lil fussy... I think more teeth are on the way. He didn't get very fussy when the first two popped through (he even slept through the nights several times) but now I can tell he is in pain. Poor guy, so young and already going through so much:) Baby's life is not easy!
And here's a cute proof of his teeth:

6 years with my Soul Mate!

As I woke up for the big day, I remember laughing really hard with my bf Juliana and thinking today is the day! No matter what happens today, I won't let anything steal what I'm feeling right now. Things may not go as planned but  I'll still choose to celebrate our love! Today will be perfect!

Knowing myself, I knew I had to stuck to my morning statement, otherwise I wouldn't enjoy our day. All the stress, the windy weather, the things forgotten, the beautiful decorations that didn't want to stay in place, the frustration, the jealousy, the anxiety, and so on could've made me a bridezilla. But thank God it didn't, cause now what it really matters was that tender moment when everybody left the apartment and every thing was quiet, you came to pick me up. We looked at each other and we knew it didn't matter if things weren't perfect cause we had each other.

It's been 6 years! 6 years of love, fun, and laughter! Amore, thanks for love and accepting me the way I'm! Thanks for making me laugh all the time! Thanks for supporting my dreams! Thanks for being a wonderful papai (daddy) to our baby! And thanks for being my Soul mate! Te Amo!

Happy Anniversary!
