Our time at home in Dallas




It has gone by way tooooo fast, and in the end im left exhausted and crying because i dont want to go back to Kentucky! there is NO place like home, especially my mom and dad's house! We had some great baby showers, got great gifts, saw most of our friends and family. I have come to the conclusion that next time i will need a whole month at home just to see everyone and spend quality time! While ive been home Dreycin has blessed me with the experience of kicks at odd hours but i dont mind! Now just so everyone knows how we came up with Dreycin, it was my Dad's great mind! He took the first three letters of each of our names and then added the "Y" which in spanish means and. so youve got Dreycin! and the middle name is going to be Rex, there's a story behind this too. All of my family, which most are all in Panama call me the "Queen" which Reina in spanish. When my abuelo che found out we were having a boy he said "El Rey" which means King. He was saying the King will be born now! And so thoughtfully I found that Rex means King! So Dreycin Rex DeLaVega, and my idea is that when he is young, plays soccer or other sports they can call him T-REX! ok ok i know corny, but how CUTE! the other great experience we have had was to meet Derek's biological father's family. This week they have gone fishing, went to the house of blues, went to eat steak and we are even spending the 4th of July with them in Sanger(outside of Denton). Im kind of sad to know that this will be the last trip home before we have Dreycin because there is no way in hell I will travel 10days like this with a baby! Only on a true vacation will I go from now on! And this heat, with most days having been in the 100's I was completely drained and always in a bra and panties at my parents house! if only i could have gotten a tan....damnit!! Well im now 22wks this weekend, Derek even said i think you have gotten bigger since we got here.....and that may be true with all this good Texas food ive been eating. Gloria's, fireside pies, bbq, blue mesa......and the list goes on. i did get on the scale after i had eaten burger street and it said i was only 2lbs heavier, but i think thats because for about 1/2 the time ive had the all day sickness!?? Like i said it went by way to fast, with too many plans.....my husband has ADHD and can keep going, and going and going and going (energizer bunny)!!!
We have an ultrasound this wednesday July 8th to look closer at the baby's heart and face, will post more pics after that.
