April
-Mitch graduted from ITT with honors. So proud of him :)
-We visited Tallahasse for the Alumni Circus Show. A bittersweet show...the first without Dickie. At the alum meeting we were able to see a video and pictures put together for Dickie. The show was another great one. It was similar to last year's show but the talent continues to improve. It was also great to see many friends that we hadn't seen in a year.
-I had the pleasure of babysitting Sebi. He is such a good baby! We even went in the pool for his first time! Thanks Titi for letting me :)

June
-My students graduated on June 4th! They behaved great and made me proud. I didn't think I would, but the moment I began reading my graduation speech I cried. Everyone just attributed it to my little pregnant belly.
-That weekend Evan and I traveled to Winter Haven to go to our first apt at Gessler Clinic. It was great and very informative. We are very excited to work with them.
-We returned to Davie so that I could finish the school year. My last day was on the 10th. I'm going to miss my kids and all the wonderful teachers and staff I had the pleasure of working with.
-On Sunday Titi celebrated baby #2 with a beautiful baby shower. The scenery was beautiful and food was delicious.
-On June 18th Evan & I said goodbye to our home in Davie. We packed up with the help of several very nice friends whom we could not have done it without. Evan then drove the truck to Winter Haven and I drove our car to pick mom up at work and head to Winter Haven. Thank God everything went well. When we arrived that evening we had both sets of parents there to help us. Papi had driven over earlier in the week to finish the bathrooms. Thank you so much Pal!!
-The next morning we headed to our new home, cleaned and unloaded. In addition to our parent's Evan's friend, Adam, came and helped us too. That Sunday was Father's Day. I gave Evan a camera since I broke our last one. This one is shockproof and waterproof. Thank God for our great Dads.
-We went back to Miami for Evan's Florida Board Review Course the weekend of the 26th. While Evan was at his course, the family got to see Mandy and her mom and meet baby Ela. She is so cute and happy! Mandy was glowing.
After a nice lunch we went to Tia Alite's for Dylan's 2nd birthday party.
July
-One week later we were back in So. Fla. but this time for our vacation at the beach. Before we headed off to the beach we did the J45K. We were part of the Miami Fit Baody Boot Camp Team.
The beach was perfect. Great weather, delicous beach and great company.
-On the 14th I met a new doctor (I've already met one). I think I have 2 more doctors to meet before I rotate again. She was very nice and helpful. When I mentioned that I had leg cramps something in my description had her schedule a dopple screening of my legs for Friday. It turned out fine and clot free (that I know of). I was glad to have the screening done since we have been traveling back and forth so much. We headed to Miami right after.
-My Baby Shower!!!! It was so great. My family and friends were so generous like always. I just can't believe everything we received. I had a great time seeing everyone and how much they love our unborn little one. I can't wait to meet her.
-That evening I had my first scary prego experience. I woke up at 2:30am because I felt like throwing up (very rare for me to wake up at that time and even more so to throw up?). I didn't want to wake Evan or throw up in bed so I got up to walk to the bathroom. On my way I began having trouble seeing and felt like I was going to faint so I began crawling (at this point Evan heard me and came to see how he could help). My inside temp felt very high but my skin felt clammy. I stood up slowly with Evan's help, used the restroom and tried to relax. I didn't feel sick anymore only weak from almost fainting. We went back to bed after I made sure I wasn't bleeding and the baby was still moving. I slept fine the rest of the night and felt fine the next day.
-After arriving in Winter Haven that afternoon I calle the doctor to let one of them know what happened. She sent me to the Women's Hospital to get checked out. Evan and I thought they would just take my blood pressure and send us home but instead I had my first hospital experience. We walked to triage and they gave me a hospital gown (not very comfy) and I had to sit on a hospital bed....all firsts for me. The nurse asked what had happened and she monitored the baby for 45mins. She sounded GREAT both the nurse and doctor told me and my vital were good too. They said that I must have been lying on my back causing the baby's weight to trigger a vasovagal response . They told me if it happens again to make sure I get up more slowly.Everything was fine and we were sent home...Better safe than sorry.
-Tonight we tour the hospital....I know where Triage is now :/
