is still nameless but we have decided to come up with a few names and
see what suites the baby when he/she arrive. I feel like JP and I are
just coasting along....we're not too concerned if it's a boy or girl,
we're not too concerned if we're not set on a name and we're just taking
things in stride. I'm not sure what's taken over me but I just feel
super calm about everything. Hopefully that continues and I don't start
freaking out right before the kiddo gets here. I bet it's just hormones...</span></span></div>

Nursery...Check!<br />
First pack of diapers....Check!<br />
Hospital plan...Check!<br />
Baby names....um.....nothing yet!<br />
<br />
<br />There's a lot of pressure that goes into picking baby names...I didn't realize how hard it would actually be. I guess maybe it would be easier if we knew Baby P's gender but that's just not the case!<br />
<br />
Boy or Girl, we're still at a loss....any suggestions? Seriously, what are some of the best/worst baby names you've heard? <br />
<br />

It's safe to say about 99% of my decisions are influenced on the baby.<br />
For example:<br />
- Should we meet up with friends for dinner during the week, or should we work on the nursery? Nursery<br />
- Should I go to Nordstrom and get that dress I've been eying, or should I shop for a going home outfit for baby? Going Home Outfit<br />
-Should we watch the Olympics or rent "The Happiest Baby on the Block?"- Happiest Baby on the Block wins out....<br />
<br />
It's so funny to me that this little baby, that isn't here yet, is already dictating my life...and I love it. It has been a crazy experience...I have bigger boobs, a bigger tummy, less energy, strange cravings, raging hormones, forgetfulness and a whole slew of other things that sound completely crazy but I couldn't be more content. I guess a lot of it has to do with all of the support that I have. JP has been even more amazing than normal (if that's even possible). He has put up with my crazy mood swings, indulged me in every craving I throw his way and has made sure that my life has been as easy as possible. He's wonderful and I know I say this a lot but I'm the luckiest girl alive. In addition to being married to such a great guy I have parents who are always there to help out. They have been over at our house every chance they get helping us out with the million things we have on our pre-baby to-do list. They're wonderful and they set the bar really high when it comes to great parents. Our baby will be the most spoiled baby around thanks to them :)<br />
<br />
Aside from JP and my folks we have wonderful people all around. I keep saying this but it's so nice to have girlfriends to call and get advice from. Friends that I haven't talked to in years have been quick to offer their wonderful advice and recommendations and it's just overwhelming how much support and love I feel everyday from the most unexpected sources.<br />
<br />
Speaking of wonderful people...JP's coworkers, who have become like a second family to us, threw us our first baby shower! We had such a fun time and our baby got so many amazing gifts. We were literally blown away with all of the effort they put in for us. It makes this special time in our lives feel even more special.<br />

Why is it that the older we get the faster time goes by? I feel like the realization of being pregnant just settled in...and now, it's almost over! Today is the first day of my third trimester.... where have the past 6 months gone?<br />
<br />
I feel like we're in crunch time...starting baby registries, cleaning out rooms and closets, shopping for nursery furniture and all kinds of baby things! It's so much fun and it's hilarious how things start to change...gone are the days that my mom and I were scoping out cute outfits and handbags, it's now all about strollers and car seats. Every time a cool stroller passes us up in the mall, we take note and look at the pros and cons. If only Tory Burch made strollers, these decisions would be so much easier.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pics of what's been going on with us:<br />

<br />
When I was a little girl, my dad would work shift work. That means he would be coming home when most people were getting up for work/school. I would be asleep with my mom when he would come in the room and wake me up letting me know he brought me breakfast. I'd sleepily peel myself out of bed and go sit with him and eat Mc Donalds, or breakfast tacos, or whatever other surprise he would bring home. We would talk about dad-daughter things and in my eyes he was the best dad any girl could ask for. Looking back at it now, I can't begin to tell you how precious those memories are with him.<br />
<br />
This year, on Father's day, I can't help but imagine what great memories our kiddo will have with JP. It makes me teary eyed, not only b/c I'm an emotional preggo lady, but b/c I just can't wait for the man I love to make our child as happy as my dad made me.<br />
<br />
Happy Father's Day to all of the great dad's out there :)<br />

Thankfully everything has been going well. For those moments when I feel like a crazy person (which is often) I have the most amazing friends and family around. I'm lucky enough to have girlfriends that are "new" mommies and they have LOADS of helpful advice and are always so eager to drop their knowledge on me. I love it. My mom and husband are also there to offer up TONS of "you need to do this" or "you should be doing this" type of advice....when that starts to drive me crazy, thankfully my dad is there to put them in check. For those of you that know my dad, he's usually logical and quiet until I enlist his help backing me up against team JP and Vashti. I think JP is learning a few tricks to get me to listen to him a bit more. Case in point:<br />

laugh about it. </td></tr>

The Grasshopper has had an adventure filled time in my tummy so far! This year we've taken our first big road trip together, gone to the Master's tournament, finished another semester of teaching, gone on a cruise with my parents and next week the Grasshopper will be hopping in my tummy as Aileen and Rod get married! How exciting!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Becca tagged me in her post a while back, and being the
procrastinator that I am, it has taken me about 2 months to complete and post
this. Better late than never right?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>11 Things:</b><br />
1. If you had a month off of work - what would you do with that time?--><b> </b><i>I would most def. spend a week with my
family in Trinidad and then spend the other three weeks wandering through
Europe. Ireland, France, Switzerland, Spain, and Italy would be on my agenda. I
would most def. end the trip in Italy…I left my heart there last summer, so I
have to go back at some point and find it! </i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
2. What's a life goal of yours that most people may not know? --> <i>I wish I had some amazing, life changing

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
4. What's your favorite quote? --> <b><strong><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">This
is really hard, there are so many great ones out there….but the one I say all
the time is “Think like a lady, act like a boss.” </span></i></strong></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
5. If you got Gilligan's Island-ed (layman's terms: stranded on a deserted
island), how long do you think you could survive? --><b> <strong><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Um…hello, I’m from an island…just give me a machete so that I can cut
open a coconut and I think I could manage for a few weeks. <span> </span>Hopefully I would have some company and wouldn’t
be stuck there by myself…</span></i></strong></b><br /><br />
6. Biggest celeb crush - past or present (earmuffs, sig others!) and WHY?
-->
</span><b><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Matthew McConaughey-he’s a Texas
boy, has a cute southern accent ,and never wears a shirt…probably the three
most important factors that influenced my choice of husband ;) </span></i></strong></span></b></div>

elevators, b/c it’s very easy to see up my dress…yes….I was mortified. </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
9. What was your favorite childhood TV show? --> <i>Are you afraid of the Dark</i><strong>…</strong><strong><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">what’s funny is that I can’t handle scary movies or shows now…coincidence?
</span></i></strong><br /><br />
10. If you could only eat at one restaurant the rest of your life- which would
you choose? -->

"Did Kim really post something on her blog?"<br />
<br />
I know, I'm a major failure when it comes to dedicating time to this blog. It's not that I don't want to, I promise I have the best intentions... but after spending the day in front of a computer the last thing I want to do in the evenings is bust out my laptop and type away.<br />

In case you can't see it in the picture above, Daisy is wearing a "Big Sister" bandana. That's right folks, Baby P will debut October 2012! I can't begin to tell you all how exciting this is! JP and I are going to be parents! What makes it more exciting is sharing the news with our family and friends. After sharing the news with the folks, we started calling other close family.<br />
I had to call my family in Trinidad (since we couldn't exactly tell them face to face) and their colorful comments and screams on the phone were beyond amazing. In fact, I'm tearing up right now just remembering the calls :) My grandma literally screamed into the receiver and was so excited, while I had an uncle tell JP "job well done boy." I love them all so much and I wish we were all closer...but thank goodness for phonecards, Facebook and text messaging. <br />
<br />
We also had our sweet Aunt Joni, Uncle Scooter, Jordan and Bri literally jump out of their chairs in happiness...Jordan (who's nickname is Big Beck) hugged me so tight, I thought I would deliver the baby right then ;) Bri's scream was so sweet and I'm so lucky that in addition to marrying the guy of my dreams I get to call the Becker's my family :) <br />
<br />
We also had so many great reactions from our friends. From funny e-mails to wonderful dinners, it's so difficult not to get overwhelmed by all of the great people that we have been blessed with in our lives.<br />
<br />
One of my personal favorite reveals was the following conversation that happened at brunch while talking about beverages: <br />
K: I think I'll have some juice<br />
D: Are you not drinking mimosas b/c you're pregnant?<br />
K: *pause*.....um, yes<br />
D: OH MY GOODNESS!<br />
Que the screams from the girls :) <br />
<br />
I love that my refusal of alcohol can only mean one thing...lol...gotta love girlfriends! <br />
<br />
There are so many other priceless reactions from our friends that I can't possibly write about them all without exhausting your attention span....but, we're so thankful for everyone that surrounds us. All of the love and well wishes that have come our way have made this special time even more special. So thank you!<br />
<br />
Keep checking back, b/c I promise, with the help of Becca Ann's pestering, I will be updating this more often than in the past.<br />
<br />
Much much love,<br />
Kim <br />

<br />
<br />
So a few things: <br />
I've decided to go back to school and do another Masters in HR. Thankfully I got accepted into a really neat program and I'm liking the classes so far. In addition to that I'm also teaching again, which I'm super excited about. I'm teaching three different classes at three different locations, so it's going to be an adventure for sure! I always think it's funny when the students walk in and do a double take...I want to say "I know I look young, but I promise, I'm perfectly qualified and capable of teaching you accounting :)" <br />
<br />
Ok...so picture time!<br />

I wish I had some pictures from July 4th, but sadly, I didn't take any. (Mental note#2: take more pics.)<br />
<br />
Aside from that, July was pretty great. I feel like this year is just flying by! JP and I are already planning stuff for his birthday and the holidays, which may seem far away, but are really coming fast!<br />

</div><div align="left">Daisy is my first real pet. After a few months of married life, I some how convinced JP that this 95 pound smiling mass of fur was what we needed in our lives. She is a complete handful and requires lots of walks, games of fetch, rawhides, milkbones and lots of tummy rubs. </div><div align="left">She also doesn't think she's a dog and will often try to jump in the bed with us, or eat off of the table like us....these are two big no no's in our house, but she doesn't seem to realize it.</div><div align="left"><br />

When you're young time takes forever to pass, but as you get older, it just whooosshhes on by!<br />

We're already halfway through June, which brings Father's Day! I have a super sweet dad who has always been amazing and super supportive. <br />

I started a new job last week and so far it's going great! The people are nice and the job is a nice change from auditing. Furthermore, I get to work with my great friend Laura again!<br />

I'm really looking forward to this semester :) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

JP and I served as chaperones to my mom and dad for a week long adventure aboard the Norwegian Epic. (They need supervision at all times....trust me on this). <br />
<br />
We stayed in Barcelona for a day before our cruise took off and we really enjoyed the city. We toured around and saw the Segrada Familia, enjoyed the beautiful weather and had a really nice night out on the beach. In between touring the city, my mom and I managed to get yummy massages at the Bliss spa in our hotel... to help us get over the jet lag of course! <br />
