Hi all, time for my weekly update...
Little baby girl is growing perfectly; healthy and strong just like mama and papa :)
I am starting to feel her kicks a bit more, her little flutters are turning into soccer goals!! She's definitely a Gormley ;) Greg and I are extremely excited and even though we don't have any idea yet where our little family will be when she decides to make her big debut we stay strong in our faith that everything is going to be GREAT!
We are making a trip to California again, this time Greg has a great job opportunity that does offer benefits! If all goes well.....No more messing around, we will MOVE! I am so grateful for the time and relationships I formed while living in Cali. It taught me alot about people and even more about myself! All our family is in Texas but my heart is in California and that is where I dream to raise my beautiful baby girl. That is where I want our family to strive and succeed, it is not impossible!
I see it this way; What a beautiful place for our Texas family to visit us!! It is truly a piece of heaven :)
Ok, ok...enough of my dream talk! Back to baby! She weighs about 12 ounces now and i can feel every bit of it, like I ate an entire loaf of bread!
I had to cut back on hours at the mall because of all the aches and pains of standing for 5 plus hours straight. Usually I fight through my pain. I've taught classes with a bad foot, shoulder, back ect. and just pushed my body through all sorts of endurance! Obviously this is different, know that I have seen her inside me and can definitely feel her, I listen to her when she tells mama to take it easy ;)
Well, My husband is the BEST!!! helping me everyday with no complaints..We are definitely looking forward to our next California visit and definitely escaping these 100+ temps!! yuck!
Oh, last thing...since our plans are unknown I am not sure when the best time for a baby shower in Texas will be? Once Greg and I get back from this trip I will have a better handle of that...but we have managed to register at POTTERY BARN FOR KIDS, and plan to register at Babies R US this weekend :)
Love and God bless,
Alma and Baby Girl Gormley

Sugar and Spice and everything nice!
Well yesterday was a big hit! Greg and I went to our Ultrasound appointment and looked at the anatomy of the baby from top to bottom ;)
We had so much anticipation to find out if my little passenger is a boy or girl! It was such a treasured moment :) Later that day I made my cake for the 'Cake Revealing Party'. I was laughing at myself because the cake looked like a 6 year old made it but it was my first try, and I was sooo proud of it because it was for my baby :)
A quick note- I misplaced the connection to my camera that allows me to download pictures and video so I won't be able to post any until I find it- sorry :(
Anyway, the party was a hit! We all gathered around the table and each one of my older nieces and nephews held a plastic knife ready to dive into that cake! On the count of 3 they sliced the cake and pulled out their knife and viola'- IT WAS PINK! ha-ha :)
A little girl is who we are waiting on and mama and papa couldn't be happier! of course papa did make the ultrasound technician verify the gender 3 times before he accepted the verdict it was a girl! He agreed that she can make it to Wimbledon too! ha-ha :) Well, I really wish I had pictures to show you but soon I will and of course now is time to plan for the baby shower!! woohoo!! party time!

Week 19 and going strong!
Hi all!!
A lot has happened since our last blog, sorry its been a while but we've been a busy bunch :)
I flew out to California on an impromptu visit and job interview. Greg and I are really trying hard to find a new path to plan for our family and we pray everyday to be led in the right direction. Well, it was so wonderful to escape the Texas heat and see friends in California and just motivated me even more to make our dreams of raising a family there come true! We are planning to go back in Sept. for another visit and more networking and this time get Greg in front of people! Enough about us....Baby Gormley is growing so fast! I feel like a umpa loompa these days and I am told I am just going to get bigger!! ha-Ha! I try to go for walks when it's not a scorching 105 degrees but most days me and baby are either working at the mall-which has nice AC :) or at gym training clients, home reading, playing with nieces and nephews or hunting for jobs online.. oh and lets not forget NAPPING! I don't know how working mom's with kids can do it while being pregnant?!?! Shout out to my sis-in-law Amy whose 5 weeks ahead of me with her 3rd and still working fulltime...You go MAMA!! :)
We are planning our big day next wed. the 17th; A "Cake Revealing Party"! No, no one is popping out of a cake- ha-ha! but we will be having a sonogram that day and hope the little stinker will cooperate and let us find out if we can start saying he or she ;)
Oh, I did feel the baby move! It actually made me laugh because it was tickling me. I got up and all of a sudden I felt like there were tiny little hands tickling me back and forth under my belly button from the inside! I called out to my niece Riley who was in the next room and she could feel little kicks! ha-ha! We have a JUMPING BEAN! Greg and I have been talking to the baby and I placed my ipod for baby to listen to in hopes we get some movement, we haven't felt anything since :(
Our big 20 week check up is next week and that will be a BIG update! I will try to upload some pictures of our Cake Revealing Party and make the big announcement!! of course the name will stay anonymous but feel free to tell us what names you like, you never know, you might have guessed it?
Love and God Bless,
Alma and Baby Gormley
