Ana, did you eat a gallon of ice cream or is that a baby in your belly?

The day has finally arrived!! I can finally say I am PREGNANT!!! Yaaaayyyyyy!!!!!This all happened on Saturday morning, November 17th, 2007. A day that will live in infamy! I peed on the first stick and started to cry because I just couldn't believe it. Then I peed on the second stick for confirmation and I still couldn't believe it and then I was sobbing. So I went upstairs and told my mom and Chiquis and they thought someone had died because I was crying so much!

Then we started taking pictures of everything and getting ready to go to Anna Michelle's wedding. I felt like I was in limbo because without a blood test to confirm it, it didn't really seem real.

Then my dad and abuelita came over to look at the preg tests and we were all so happy and excited! Here is my due date ticker for an expected July 29 delivery. Woo hoo!!!!

The big news!!!

"The Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California is delighted to report that you have achieved a passing score on the July 2007 administration of the California Bar Examination administration of the California Bar Examination. Congratulations; you may justly be proud of your achievement."
They even have fancy wording on the passing letter! Sheesh! Well we are justly proud!! We found out at 6:00 p.m. on Friday Nov 16th and what a relief it was! I knew all along he would do it! He is the smartest of the bunch. :) It reminds me of how tough and crazy those three days of tests were in Sacramento. It seemed so far away at the time but now it seems to have passed quickly. Thanks for everyone's prayers and support!

My recent culinary delights

This picture is of a Strawberry Cream Cake I made for my grandmother's birthday. I had bought a huge case of luscious strawberries weeks before and when it came time to make the cake I found that many of the strawberries had gone bad. Very bad. So I had to gingerly pick out the edible ones and throw away about half of the case. It was soooo sad. Especially because strawberries are so expensive!

This picture is Chicken with Goat Cheese and Basil accompanied by Couscous with toasted pine nuts. Perhaps the most delicious thing I have ever created!! Thank you Barefoot Contessa!! It is very easy and quite impressive. If anyone would like me to post this recipe on the blog let me know please. That is if anyone is reading anymore . . . (I feel sheepish, baaaahh)

This is me with my culinary art. Enjoy!

The two week wait is horrible!

Today is Wednesday and I am supposed to test on Saturday. It is still so far away! And J gets his bar results on Friday. I really hope it is good news all around. I am so horribly impatient. And everyone is pregnant all around me! Ay!
