Last week in Texas at 26 weeks!

There has been so many changes since I started this pregnancy and the biggest one (aside from the peanut being born) is coming up really fast!
Greg and I and 'peanut' are moving to San Luis Obispo,Ca next week!
We couldn't be happier and full of positive outlook and faith :)
A lot of people ask (I know its all out of love), "How are ya'll going to take care of a baby and work?" Well, we are going to do it just like every other parent and either provide baby care or take care of her ourselves. To some people this is a sudden, drastic change but little do they know we have been planning, saving and talking about it for 2 years! The baby girl is our number one priority of course and we feel we are going to be able to provide the BEST life for her at our new little town and home.
Our first baby shower is this Sat. and I can't wait to see everyone! I am really just happy to share the day with friends, family and kids...they make it sooo special! I am sure the baby will be kicking up a storm because she seems to kick up a storm whenever I'm in a crowd...She's a social butterfly like her daddy ;)
I hope to post pics in the next 2 weeks so please stay tuned! Much love and god bless,
Alma and baby girl Gormley~

Texan or California Girl????!???!?!?!

24 weeks (6months) Woohooo, and Yee Haw!! This little girl has been on a whirl wind trip the past 5 days!
Greg and I left to San Luis Obispo, Ca last Thursday to go for an interview he had. Everyone who knew about it I guess was on pins and needles because his phone would not stop ringing with family asking how it went...good grief! :)
Of course it went well, my husband knows how to give a good impression, he won me over! ha-ha
Anyway, we are ready to make our move and we are ready to make our family in California. This baby girl was kicking sooo much while in California. I took a Groove class, which was hilarious because my balance was off and my hips just don't shimmy like Shakira like they used to!After about 20minutes I called it quits and went out to the lobby and had a smoothy....nice :)
The fresh ocean breeze was so comforting and amazing...we also went to the Mission and attended mass, gave our thanks and prayed, prayed, prayed! AMEN!
Our friends there are beyond words...they are so incredibly gracious that they are truly a second family to
  us : )
Greg finally felt the baby move and it was incredible..She likes to hang out around my left side of my belly button and as my mom put it, it's a peep hole ;) ha-ha..
Once she is sleeping she sinks down to the lower part of my belly and it feels more like a sack of potatoes now! All in all we fall more and more in love with her and just can't wait to meet this little girl who is already changing our lives for the better!
Well, as much as our Texas family would want us to stay, we have to follow our hearts and if this trip reinforces anything it is our love for California, the ocean and the big pay offs for hard work! We definitely want to have a new chapter in our lives with our new little family with a beach front view :)
Save the date! Invites have been sent out for Oct. 1 (in Texas) for our first baby shower..the next one will be in California shortly after we move, which we anticipate to be first week of Oct.
Greg is ready, I'm ready and we are very supportive of each other and our decisions!
Well, that's it for now...mama and baby Gormley are healthy and doing very well! Now we just have to get out of this Texas heat!

Love and God Bless,
Alma and Baby Girl Gormley ;)
