It has been awhile..

Now that my two little ones are sleeping I want to update a little. Life got pretty busy the moment we welcomed Naomi to this world. I thought I had my hands full with one child...now with two life is definitely stretch to full capacity. Or at least until I get the hang of it. Naomi was born 11/28/2010. Labor was hard yet easier than the first time. I got to the hospital at 9 centimeters. I was surprise and happy when I heard the nurse said "we better take you to the delivery room" It was around 6am. The Doc broke my water to make it faster and it sure did. My pain intensified and contractions were coming pretty close together. The last centimeter was the hardest part of my labor. Pushing was tiring but doable. I didn't like my nurse too much. But I was glad to have my hubby there. He instructed me better than the slow and careless nurse. You could tell he had good experience :). She was born at 7:58am. The Doc called my labor and pushing "fast and furious"...I wanted that baby out ASAP! He loved my labor. He was in and out. He barely made it to catch my baby..they didn't even have some stuff ready but eventually she made the grand entrance and Mommy and baby were happy that it was all over.
Jacob just woke up...to be continued

Anyway its now been 2 months and we are adjusting to having an infant and an energetic toddler running around. In January our Naomi got sick with a respiratory virus (RSV). She was in the hospital for 3 and a half days. Thanks to many people who prayed for her she recuperated a lot sooner than what we thought. It was a scary time yet we got to experience God's grace and mercy. A big thanks for my sister Vero and friend Carla for watching Jacob while we were with Naomi at the hospital. We are now enjoying being at home with our two little ones. It's a lot of work for Mommy but there is a lot of JOY I get in caring for them.

7 1/2 Months Pic

Yea.... Buddy!!!

Here is a pic of our big boy. He went twice this week, the first time I timed him and the second time he told me he had to go. I'm still not getting my hopes up for a diaper-free Jacob but we will keep working on it and hopefully there will be less diapers to change in the weeks and months to come. Daddy's words when I text him the news. "Yea... Buddy"!!!

6 months - belly pic

Here are some recent shots of my ever growing belly. I'm probably at 25 weeks in this picture. Time is flying and I'm so excited that in only a matter of a few months I will meet my little girl. What a blessing!!

Baby Girl at 22 Weeks

We were excited to find out in my last appointment that we are having a girl. She is about 1 pound and 2 ounces and measuring just right. I'm about 5 1/2 months and starting to feel a little big. In about 2 weeks I will be testing for gestational diabetes... (not fun!!) The test is done between 24 and 26 weeks. I have been enjoying eating all kinds of goodies. For some reason this pregnancy has been all about sweets, pizza, burgers and much more. I have a hard time saying NO to all of those temptations. I just hope to pass the test this time. Although my chances are small since I had GD with my Jacob. Ohh well...I just hope for the best. Here is the most recent pic of our baby. It looks like her body is compose of two circles..hehe. That's the only picture I got and I like it since it seems like she is smiling at the camera :) Precious!
