So this is Christmas and what have you done?

Hello Friends
It's Amazing how fast time passes,already passed my babyshower, passed the birth of my daughter, my birthday and we're heading towards the end of the year 2012
I remember well when and why I decided to start this blog,last year it was before my birthday.
The idea was to lose ten pounds for my thirty birthday made the challenge of thirty days and it was hard but I had a lots of fun.I lost 9 pounds and ended up getting pregnant LOL....That was FRESH :)
Now my  beautiful baby is almost four months and the challenge begins again,Not exactly a challenge to lose weight, but a new challenge for a healthier life mentally.I say this because being a Mom is not easy, and this restless "career" we have to cook, care for, and educate every single day and the pressure of having to be healthy and we have to set the example we end up stressed and frustrated sometimes we forget that we need mental health also.We have to keep our smile in our face and we have to live life happy and I think THIS IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF ALL
The new year is approaching and I'm full of projects and hope to share them here with you my followers my virtual friends.

I wish I could share more but I'm always busy, this career MOTHER is really busy!but I'll try to do my best.Here is one of my favorite songs and perfect for this time of year

Bella Melody its finally here

my precious daughter BELLA MELODY was born Thursday night with great health, we're at home resting and adjusting to new routine especially for my son sammy who is  a little insecure with all this change!!!
Be mom for the second time is really wonderful, and today I can say that being mom for the first or the second time doesn't have any difference, love remains the same.

for all my friends and family who are waiting for photos I ask for  a little patience, I'm still very tired and like I said adjusting to this new routine

and of course enjoying the maximum my princess!!!!

Due day

Missing only days, perhaps hours to give birth of my daughter.I look back, these nine months was a great experience in my life, a learning experience.Having a child of three years old and be a mommy again is a wonderful thing, very tiring of course, but unforgettable

Samuel is at a very interesting and cute age,and I can't wait to see the reaction when he see his little sister! :)
I have many worries in my mind, but at this stage of my pregnancy,at this point the only thing I'm focusing on it's at the time of receiving my baby,that she comes health and perfect, and everything goes in the peace of God

The heat, weariness the swelling doesn't matter any more, all this loses its value at the time of giving birth, and the anxiety takes over our mind and  our heart.
I prepared my self the whole pregnancy physically with good walking and feeding, and mentally with meditation and breathing....so now JUST wait :)

36 weeks!tired and happy

Hello my dear friends!
I know its being a while since I wrote the last time.this a little hard to reconcile my pregnancy with my daily chores with a child of three years that has all the energy in the world
So this is a great challenge in my life .... maybe the biggest so far!
As I do not have my mother around to help, or even to make company,more difficult things get, especially now in the last months of pregnancy.But everything has a positive side, I know that soon I'll be with my princess in my arms, and thank God I have a great husband who helps me a lot
We are aware that with two children things will not be easy, but the important is that we are full of love and joy.And not only we are in countdown to get our daughter here,we are also very anxious waiting for my Mother who will be here in six months or less.(hopefully)

I have plans and projects for me and my family and a  lots of  positive energy.But as I'm already 36 weeks pregnant  my duty now is to take care of myself, to have a healthy baby,be patient and rest or at least try.Only who has children knows that sleep is a major challenge for all pregnant moms.With the baby moving all the time there is no comfortable position, besides the heat and sometimes shortness of breath.Last night she moved so much that I couldn't sleep at all.
and here I am trying to gather the strength to write my blog,something that I love and distracts me :)

Great Day to all of you <3

Live is not easy but is gooood

Over a thousand people have already seen my blog, it makes me very Happy :).And I had already said this to you guys before,that I always put my heart in what I write and I live intensely every moment of my life in order to pass it to you guys.
Not easy to write in another language, but as I live in california a few years already I could not do it only in Portuguese because I want all my friends and other moms also to participate, read and have fun with my adventures!!!yes, adventure! Because being a mom is a Big and great adventure, that never ends.LOL right?!
since my son was born everything must be planned with time, as a simple trip to the movies, or when he goes to sleep do things that we can't do when he is awake, make the eyebrow, folding the laundry or watch TV,and  never forget that your  phone must be in silent or vibrate....more tiring, more intense or even more difficult BUT it makes life with  a much more sense  and better.
Now  that we are going to have another baby, a little girl.My husband and I are really looking forward, we know that it will be a lot of work, but we're sure will be beautiful and our family will be complete!!!
I wish you guys an awesome Saturday and stay tuned for the adventures of this Brazilian Mom!

23 weeks!!!!

Hello My Dear Friends..

the title of my blog  it's not a new challenge to lose weight,but how many weeks pregnant I have :)

This being a beautiful journey, like any pregnancy, baby and I are very healthy and everything is fine thanks to God.

I have normal things like heartburn, tiredness, and some changes in the body.....The best part of the change in the body are the breasts, my breasts are bigger for example, hair and my nails are stronger.the bad part are the 

inevitable extra pounds that is acquired during pregnancy!To avoid too much weight up I'm walking every day, AND MAINTAINING a balanced feeding, but also do not deprive myself of a  good dessert once in a while since I love sweets.Today I was at my appointment with the nutritionist and she told me my weight and my daily feeding are excellent.

I also did my second ultrasound last week so I'm writing today because I promised to keep you guys informed of my pregnancy,right?!!!And,it's Official It's A GIRL.....my little girl :)

We are very happy and I am already starting to plan my baby shower.I know it is going to be very special,fun and cute just like my baby shower for Sammy :)

But maybe not so big,like sammy's baby shower,I remember my friends asking me,'Michele is this a Babyshower?imagine your wedding"...Alex family did such a great job,but it was too much,this time a want something beautiful but not so big!!!

Good Day for everyone :)

Its a Girl <3

Hello my friends!!!!

Do you remember that a few months ago, on my birthday to be precise I was willing to lose my belly.I was determined to have a tummy straight and defined,and I was working hard to reach my goal.
Well,I have news that will change all my plans!As for my weight, I feel good.I exercises daily and have a well balanced feeding at home.As for to define my tummy, will not be possible for the next few months.
Because We are expecting another baby....and I'm soooo happy :)
When the baby arrives my son Samuel will have alreadycompleted three year old, perfect time to play and grow with abrother or sister.Now I have the obligation to eat well, I exercise every day and of course, sleep well....And to correct some small mistakes I made with my first pregnancy...ahahaha.....Who is mom know what I'm talking about :)
My pregnancy will be very pleasant months where I'll be sharingwith you my feeding my sickness, my exercises, and preparation for the arrival of the new family member!!!!


I count with you my followers, comments are welcome!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!
