Today I'm exactly 1/2 of the way done with this pregnancy with the big day on Wednesday where we figure out if we are having a boy or girl. At first I wanted more a girl, but for the last few weeks I've been more thinking a boy. I really don't know if thats what it is but the nurse said mom's tuition is the most accurate gender predictor. Sergio on the other hand was really all about the boy until some of our friends had a "halvsey" baby girl like ours will be. Now he is like me and just wants to know what it is. He says he wants a boy to have the first boy in the Peters family plus he said he wants the first to be a boy to take care of his future little sister(s). But we will know if a few days. We went shopping the other day and we finally caved in and bought the baby something, which we haven't done since we have been waiting to see if we have a boy or girl. We saw the most adorable little stuffed animal a little alligator, which isn't the most gender neutral animal but I think if it is a girl that she will love it just because it's from her daddy.

Baby's First Toy
Other than getting ready for being parents we have been pretty busy with our business. At first the things were pretty slow but once the weather started warming up things have really been picking up. We actually have planned for this weekend two 5 de Mayo parties which will keep us busy but are definitely good for the business.
Hanging out with Sergio in the truck, he says that the boss gets all the easy job—eating frozen yogurt :)
About a month ago we decided that since we have little space around the house that we are renting we should put in a garden. I have only helped my mom with a garden, not the whole thing so this is all a big learning experience. We put in peas, carrots, radishes, onions and potatoes right now and have plans to put in tomatoes, jalapenos, cucumbers and watermelon in May. I figure it will be something to help this summer go faster in the anticipation of this baby even if it doesn't come up (The prophet says to plant a garden, he didn't say it had to come up!). Much to my surprise and delight everything has come up pretty well, except for the onions which look more like grass than onions but I really don't know why. We even harvested a few radishes this week. They are a bit small but the tops were getting eaten by bugs. :( I don't like radishes but Sergio said they were excellent. I may have a a green thumb after all.

Tried planting a money tree, its worth a shot!

Other than that I just have been busy with school and anxiously looking forward to the end of the semester. I have been in classes four semesters and I am ready for a break. I still have about 3 1/2 semesters until I graduate and I'm looking forward to being done! I feel like I have been in school forever (thats what happens when you completely change your major) But I really love what I am studying and I'm looking forward to being an ESL teacher someday.
I should probably end this appropriately with one of the blond things that I've done recently. The other day I was tidying up the bathroom and I put something under the sink and shut the cupboard. I heard a swishing sound and it sounded like a crack in the pipe or something and I had no idea what it was but I was definitely alarmed. I shouted for Sergio to come because the pipe was broken! He opens the cupboard and laughs at me. It was the hairspray and it was spraying as it was caught between the pipe and the thing I had just put under the sink. Yep, its a good thing he loves me. I'm such a crazy wife. :)
