Two weeks already...

She is our little princess.


Don't be surprized by the collection of Head bands, I went over board with it. And as I had suspected MY GIRL IS BALD. Well everyone tells me she has tons of hair. But that is only because they have never seen Spencer When he was her age. It will be a few months before I can do piggy tails.... But it's okay her delicate little face makes up for her baldness. And she is just perfect.





Since we brought Stephanie home she has hated bath time, she has gotten better but if you take too long to dress her up she throws a fit.






Spring is comming!!! And the leaves are not going to fall off anymore, so we can clean it up. This past weekened we spend saturday raking and picking up leaves, it was a beautiful day to be outside. We got lots done, we are getting ready to plant our first garden in the back yard. I am so excited. I also found this big centipede, Spencer though it was the coolest. But he is my son and does not touch bugs. Which I am glad, because I remeber being in Florida and my little brother bringing a lizard in the house. I hope I don't have that problem.






We also went to church this past Sunday, and I had fun dressing my little doll.

It's been two weeks that we brought our little girl home. She is the best baby ever. I never hear her cry, just during bath time. I have to wake her up to eat. We came home the day after she was borne, I though Spencer was going to be super jealous. Since he ignored both me and her in the hospital, and all he wanted was DADDY. Almost as if I had betrayed him somehow. However we got home, he became very protective of her. He always wants to kiss and hug her, and if anyone says they are going to take her home. He tells them with a stern voice, "NO that's my baby sister"
We are doing well, and I am adjusting to have no time for ME. But it's all worth it. I just love my little munchkins. And Guess what... It is possible to love them both the same exact way!

Birth Story

Well we checked in to the hospital on sunday at 6:00 pm. We started at 8pm with some tablets every 4 hours, having a some pain by 8am my dr. broke my water and started Petosin/ I was only 4cm dialated. But doing good, well braking your water and petocin change things a little. The Dr. said I should not ask for the epidural until I was in active labor, so around 10 I was in a lot of pain, but was trying to work through it. Borja could not take it anymore and called the nurse and asked for an epidural for me. I am glad he did. Dr. Feel Good came in and gave me the Epidural, life was great from that moment on. An hour later i could feel the contractions again, so I was pushing the little pump every 15 min. for more medicine. The machine was not picking up my contractions so the nurse kept adding petocin. BUT I KNEW THEY WERE THERE. Anyways Borja went to lunch at 12 and when he came back at 12:45 I was crying, I was so tired and it all came so quick. Borja called the nurse, she came in the room to check me. However none of us had much hope. She checked me and ran out of the room telling me not to laugh, caugh or sneeze. I was confused, I guess Stephanie was crawling out on her own. A minute later she came in the room along with 3 other nurses and a table full of things. They fixed me in the bed, and my Dr. Ran in just to catch her, After one contraction and 3 pushes she was out. All 6 pounds 14 ounces, 19 and 1/2 inches long. It was easy, the pushing part. However I pumped so much Epidural in my body that my left leg was dead weight, for 4 hours afterwards. Kind of funny, I could wigle my toes, but no matter how hard my brain told my leg to move, it just did not do it.

Having boys is so much fun...

Well I have to brag a little about my wonderful husband. On thursday March 5th he turened the big 30. I think for the first time since I have known him he feels old. HAHAHA. I am not very helpful when I tease him about being 24. Anyways he is a wonderful husband, person, companion, friend, father, and I could go on and on. I am trully blessed to have him, he completes my life, and he is always trying to make sure my needs and desires are taken cared of before his. He is giving and not at all selfish, he understands when I need sometime of from being a mom and wife, and just need to have a Vanessa moment. It is thanks to him that I have in my life a wonderful son, seeing them together is fun and refreshing. Knowing that there are still good fathers out there. Spencer is in love with his daddy, the highlight of his day is around 5:30 pm when daddy walks in. Nothing else matters at that moment. It's almost as if his hero just walked in.

Anyways, even though he just turned 30, he will always be a boy at heart. I am sure like every other men out there, it is very difficult to get him a gift that he will trully like. So after wrecking my brain for 2 months, I knew exactly what to get him. Spencer and I went out on thursday and looked for the Guitar Hero Band Set for the WII that he purchased last year while I was out of town... Well if you have looked for it you know it is not the easiest thing to find. But we got him I gift Certificate from GameSpot so that we could go sometime to Murfreesboro (40 min away) to get it. Well he walked in the door that day and opened his card and immidiatly said OK lets go get it. He was excited. FINALLY something he likes, besides airplanes. We brought it home and he played with it right away. Well Spencer loves it too. I almost have to beg to get a chance on the drums, that is Spencers thing. And the Guitar is Borja's thing, so I have not even touched it. I guess I am stuck singing. I am sure the neighbors are fed up with us. For 4 days straight we have had rockers at our house...

A Snowman?

So this morning at 6 a.m. Spencer came to my room so excited. Saying "mommy snow, lets build a snowman." We had told him yesterdaay that it was going to snow today, so I did not think much of it. I just though he remembered and now was here to wake me up tooooo early in the morning... However he was so excited that I got up and looked out the window. Just to see our backyard covered in snow. I could not deny him a snowman after seeing the look in his little face. So we got up and soon after that Tyler came down stairs and they were both very excited to go and play outside. Daddy came to help us after we were there for sometime with no results. Oh. I should not fail to mention that church was canceled today. HAHA

Baby Shower.

So Stephanie will be here in less than 3 weeks, and we have had fun preparing for her. While I was down in Florida I had a Surprise Baby Shower, Thanks to good friend Diane and My sister, and a few other "liers" I mean people who tricked me in order for it to work. It was a lot of fun. Thank you guys... But since it was a surprize I have no pictures of it.

This past friday night we had our TN shower, it was awsome. My mom and cousin were here from Florida, it was also fun because it was a Bed Time shower so we were asked to wear our PJ's. This shower was hosted by my 2 good friends, Meagan and Wendy. They did a great Job. We had tons of people here, and now Stephanie has cute outfits for everyday of the year. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to these events. And of course to everyone who came and were so kind for the presents. We are done. Baby has all she needs. Here are some pics of it all...

3 more weeks!

So I just got back from the Dr. Office, Baby is doing great. She is head down, and very active. She is really comming! My due date is March 28th, but I was determined to have her early. Well Dr. is going to be out of town on the due date. He is leaving on the 18th. So I told him starting on the 10th I was going to start running and doing jumping jacks. He laughed and said that's not nescessary He will induce me on the 15th. So that's it we're having a baby in 3 more weeks. I am so excited.

33 and 1/2 weeks! But who is counting?

I am getting to the end of my pregnancy, if she is anything like her brother she will be here in 3 weeks. I have enjoyed every bit of it so far, however it is getting to me. I am getting tired of carrying this watermelon around, and it's kind of sad when you grow out of maternity clothe. I have felt better all around this time. I think the fact that I have not been swollen or gained as much with her has made a difference. I also feel like a cute pregnant women. Something I never felt with Spencer. She moves so much, probably more than she should. We are growing out of room. I am excited to meet her, and yet I am scared of having 2 kids. Not so much for the work, but I am afraid of missing important stages of their lives. Spencer is getting so big and I feel as though time has gone by to fast. I don't want him to grow and not see it happen. But at the same time I don't want to miss anything that Stephanie does. Is it possible to love 2? The same way? Sometimes I wonder... And yet I know I already love her. I am so blessed and grateful for my little family. God really does live, the signs are all around us. And through this pregnancy I have learned of his love for me. There were many tears and I am sure many more will come, many difficult times in which we did not know if she would make this far. Many things of which we did not share with anyone but our family. But all I can say is that it's a miracle that we are here. God has a special love for our family and for her. He has taken care of us.

Anyways, I am done with my emotional post. And this is me at 33 and 1/2 weeks pregnant.
