My sister and mom found the cutest girliest place in Alpine to throw me a family/friends shower. It's called Dear Lizzie's Boutique & Bistro and we had alot of fun!

Momma, Amy and very prego me!

Me and German's Aunt Norma

Cheryl Colyar (the wife of my old bishop from Wyview) along with daughter-in-law Kristi Colyar.

Me and Aunt Janice

Isn't this place so cute??? Aunt Jan, my cousin Kristy with her daughter Aleah

This is Alexis, Renee, Vanessa and her cute little boy--Friends from an old ward I lived in during high school. They're actually the sisters and mom of an old boyfriend, and I miss hanging out with them.

German's cousin David just married this great girl in June, so I guess that makes her my cousin-in-law Julie.

Beautiful Lexi!

7 Random facts for Liz...

1. I was very accident proned as a kid and I've cut open my face, chin or head so many times that I've had to get over 100 stitches total. (My nicknames were Suicide Sara and Kamikaze)
2. When I was 20, I lived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia for three months teaching English.
3. So, I used to go to alot of concerts in high school and get all sweaty in the mosh pits. I've seen Primus, 311, Lenny Kravitz, Pearl Jam, Tori Amos & Beck to name a few. I've also been to Dave Matthews Band about 5-6 times, which is probably the only band I still listen to now.
4. I pierced my own belly button when I was 17 with ice and a safety pin. Yes, I was young and stupid.
5. The past few months I've been getting up at 7am everyday to watch Dawson's Creek before work. I normally don't get hooked on any TV shows, but I loved the show when it first came out in 1998. I watched the first season before my mission and now I get to watch all the episodes I missed while I was gone. Yes, I am a little embarrassed.
6. I've had over 20 jobs in the past 12 years, but since I've been home from my mission I've only had three. My first job was at a car wash where I lasted a day and I've been at my current employment for 5 years.
7. Ummmmm, I love my husband! A random fact about him is that he's lived in Argentina, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Georgia, San Diego and now UTAH!!!

ok, so I tag everyone who hasn't been tagged yet....

baby faces :o)

We had another ultrasound yesterday and the technician got some great face/profile shots of the girls. German couldn't make it, but my friend Muriel came with me and we saw Audrey blink her eyes and Lucy open and close her mouth. I get emotional every time, but I can't help it--they are so beautiful! Their nursery is pretty much finished and we are so excited to bring them home. German is always talking to "his girls" and I know they are going to adore their daddy so much. Just wanted to post an update and I hope to see alot of you at my shower on Sept. 8th!

MOM & DAD

and our growing girls!

They are kicking me non-stop in there, or maybe they are just kicking each other...sometimes they even kick dad!

New poll & mommy advice needed

So, I wish I knew exactly when our girls will arrive and although I hope they don't come too early for their sakes, a little early wouldn't be so bad for me. My doctor is going to induce me on Nov 12th at 38 weeks if they haven't arrived yet. What do you all think...when will they arrive??? I thought a poll would be fun (I got the idea from Ali Razz's blog)!

I'm sitting here at work just thinking and trying not to get overwhelmed. I'm contemplating life with two little babies and wondering how I am going to take good care of them and still keep my sanity. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions on things to buy that you found were indispensable or something you wished you had known sooner? THANKS!!!

Argentina soccer and me and the girls...

FYI: If you are a soccer fan (which we Galasos are), Argentina is playing Mexico in the Copa America semifinals tomorrow night at 7pm. If they win they go to the finals, so things will be pretty tense in our home! We think our girls will be great soccer players because a love for the game is already in their blood.

VAMOS ARGENTINA!!! OLE OLE OLE OLA....

This is a pic my friend Ally took of me on Sunday...I was really sticking it out. We spent the afternoon at Kiersta's after Errson's baby blessing. I was bummed because we arrived late and just missed the blessing. I wasn't feeling well all weekend, but at least we made it for lunch. I'm not as nauseous as I used to be, so I don't spend as much time with my head over the toilet lately. Although, yesterday I threw up in a restaurant bathroom, which was a first and not at all pleasant. Throwing up is bad enough, but I def prefer my clean toilet at home! Our ultrasound went great and the girls were even a couple days ahead of schedule. It was fun seeing them kick each other and move around in there. I'm feeling them flutter everyday and sometimes it's a slight thump. All and all this pregnancy has been great and I really hope we get to go through it again :o)

Recent pic of the growing belly...

The happy parents at 18 weeks, our girls are now halfway done cooking. We have another ultrasound scheduled tomorrow, so I'll be updating this soon.

Tribute to baby boys

Last week my friends brought their baby boys swimming and they decided to interlock arms, how cute. Kiersta's baby Errson is one month old and Ashley's baby Russell is three months old. Hey--a boyfriend for each of my girls ;)

Also, my cousin Julie had a baby boy on June 10th named Evan Chase and at 9 pounds 3 oz, he is def the cutest newborn I have ever seen!!! Way to go Julie and John! Isn't he adorable? I just wish they hadn't moved to Idaho...

So we decided on names...

We always planned on naming a girl after my grammy Lucy, so when we found out we were having two girls I called my grammy and asked her which baby she wanted us to name after her. She replied "I guess the first one, I always want to be first!" So, the first one will be Lucy Elizabeth (which is my middle name) and the second one out will be Audrey Florentina. Audrey because German and I love old Audrey Hepburn movies and Florentina after German's grandmother. Those of you who know German's grandpa (a.k.a. Abuelo), Florentina was his wife's name. She passed away about 20 years ago and helped raise German the first five years of his life, she was a sweet lady.

So we are now THE GALASO FAMILY:
German Dario Galaso
Sara Elizabeth Galaso
Lucy Florentina Galaso
Audrey Elizabeth Galaso

We can't wait until the crazy fun sleepless family life begins!!!
