Ari (aka bird)

2/17/12

the day we found out i was pregnant and due in february we were so excited to find out what day. when the dr said my due date was february 21st i was 10 weeks pregnant. i told my husband i was having our baby on the 17th....i just had a feeling. my grandmother passed away on feb 13 which was a huge loss to my side of the family. i wanted her to meet my baby so bad, but i know shes watching from heaven. on valentines day i didnt expect anything from my husband except to be with me at my drs appt. well i got a few gifts that day...i found out i was effaced 80% and dilated 3cm. dr said he was scheduling me for induction on friday 2/17/12, if i didnt have her before then. i was ecstatic to find out that i was right on the dot with her birth date :) we went and told everyone and called people. when we got home. there was a card, a stuffed animal, and a glass rose waiting for me. my hubby suprised me. its my first valentines gift from him ever :) 

our lil angel was born with a smiley smirk :)

she fits right into our lil family and her big bro and sis love her to pieces. i love being a mommy and i love being a wife!! i believe our family is complete :)

who ever said babies dont smile is full of crap!!

that is a smile for sure!!

Ari has smiled since the day she was born and it wasnt gas!! she smiles everyday and she even giggles when she smiles sometimes. and that was before she was a month old! she even holds he head up and wants to stiffen her legs when we hold her in a standing postion (she can even move one foot in front of the other,as to walk) and she tries to roll over and push herself up. she is nearing 2 months now. i am so very much in love with my babies!! being a mom to 3 and the wife to the best guy ever is more than i could ever dream of.

a month gone by.....

Its been a month since I have blogged. Makes me sad :(. Ive had a little bit of writers block and lack of internet. In 4 weeks or sooner Ill be having baby #3. Im nervous and excited and not completely ready. Physically Im ready for her to be here and to have my body back due to the aches and pains but I havent nested this go around so there for my house isnt ready. Ive been more focused on spending time with my husband and two older babies and family. My floors need shampooed and my house organized, baby clothes need to be washed and bottles sterilized. Ugh..where to find the time. Hopefully this weekend will bring some productiveness. Oh how I wish I had internet at home. Ive been spending alot of time with my parents and lil bro which has been nice since I went years without seeing them due to a past relationship. Im hoping these next few weeks go by well and that anything that needs to be done gets done. Im also hoping that anything that needs to be said gets said before the baby gets here that way there is less stress and drama. Not that theres ever a right time for that Id rather just handle it before she gets here.

Ive been stressed and very insecure this past month and it sucks. Im afraid that after having my third child that my body will never be close to what it was. Im afraid that after weight loss Im going to be nothing but sagging skin due to all the stretched skin everywhere ( breast, stomach, hips, butt, thighs). Thankfully I didn't get any new stretch marks to add to that. I do have a wonderful husband who tells me that im beautiful all the time. This is his first child so I hope he thinks so after the pregnancy aftermath. He didn't have much to say after I told him about the 6 week waiting period after delivery. He's learning fast though and Im so proud of him. I hope that I will be able to update again and have photos to share soon. Until next time. God Bless :)

Random Blog: some new found favorite things :)

I'm a woman...and what woman doesn't love cosmetics?  I've been a little down on my looks here lately from being pregnant and it sucks :( I haven't been doing anything with my hair (which needs about 4 inches of dead, dry, split hairs cut off), and i rarely wear any makeup anymore. I have been wanting so badly to update my look, I'm way overdue for a makeover!! I'll be glad when February gets here...then all this will be done. I look a whole lot better this pregnancy then my last two but I've been more miserable during this one. My husband has been very generous with the complements and even though I think I look like a beached whale, it's still really nice to hear. He has been very sweet lately and has bought me a few new makeup items. Julian isn't a typical guy that could care less, he actually likes to pick things out for me :) which is nice because it shows that he cares enough to think about what I would look like in things (makeup, clothing, whatnot).  He has great taste too!! I'm a girl who loves cheap finds as well which makes shopping for me easy!! Walgreens is pretty awesome with sales on cosmetics :) anyways, here are some new favorites that my lovey hubby bought for me:

Wet n Wild lipstick in 521A

 Wet n Wild MegaSlicks Lipgloss in 565C

Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Candy Pink

E.L.F gift set in Sultry & Smokey

All cheap finds!!! The gift set was only $5 and the rest was under $5 each!!! I love my new make up :) And yes I am a pink fiend :) Although I have been wanting to try red or atleast a color in the red family. I found one beautiful red/wine colored organic lipstick at the health food store that I absolutely want to try but its $12...maybe I will get a color swatch or play with the tester stick to make sure its worth the splurge. I also found a pretty sheer red gloss as well. I can't wait to start feeling good again!! I get so inspired and motivated some days then it just wanes away :(  I'm gonna get it back though. Its just going to take time...it takes 9 months to get big so its going to take longer to get where I want to be. This is going to be an interesting journey. I hope I can update again about new favorites :) Hope everyone has a blessed day and in case I don't blog again for a little while...Merry Christmas :)

Over The Weekend...

Well what can I say....we had a great weekend! Only thing missing was my two beautiful kids. We had a trip planned for almost a year and a room at a resort lodge booked but somehow that got messed up but we made the best of it. My wonderful husband took friday off to be with me. We spent the day together and did a little bit of Christmas shopping and had pizza for dinner.

Saturday was our 1 year wedding anniversary :) we did more Christmas shopping and just enjoyed being together with no interruptions. I do love being married to this man!! He treats me amazingly and loves me unconditionally...he's my best friend! And most importantly he respects me and loves my kids just as much as he loves the baby we are soon to have. He treated me to lunch at a nice restaurant and was beyond loving! We are so blessed!! We also bought our first Christmas tree..a real tree :) its small but its perfect. So later that night we set up our tree and decorated it and watched the cat freak out over it :) it was awesome! Its the start of a new tradition for our little family!

Sunday was our relaxing day...we didn't do much. We did get a baby bed :) a very nice family I know was kind enough to give us one. God has been very generous to us and we are so grateful and thankful.

All-in-all the weekend wasn't very eventful. We just stayed close together and cuddled and laughed alot. It was wonderful just having him all to myself :) We had a great time just enjoying everyday life. I don't need fancy gifts or anything to celebrate with...all I need are the ones I love.

I didn't get diamonds or flowers for our anniversary like what most women want...I got something much better!! I got time with my true love and a new tradition for our family :) What could be better than having a beautiful Christmas tree as an anniversary gift? I think its perfect! And you it takes two to set it up and decorate it so it makes wonderful anniversary/family/Christmas memories :)

I hope everyone has had a great Monday and weekend.  *Blessings*

Almost @ 31 weeks!! Its getting closer :)

Awake...

Good Morning!!! I'm awake for the moment...

Today is our 1 year wedding anniversary!!! It feels like so much longer, in a good way of course. We had planned on napping then getting up super early to finish our Christmas shopping at walmart. Neither of us like big crowds so its easier to go way early or way late. Julian is crashed on the couch and I'm on the love seat, suffering from bad heartburn :(  Ahhh..the joys of pregnancy right?  Here's a few things I'm not going to miss:

• heartburn...especially late at night.
• muscle pains in my sides, lower abdomen, and pelvic region
• sciatic nerve spasms
• back pain
• light headedness, dizziness
• rapid heart beat, anxiety...i have tachycardia and anxiety and pregnancy has made them worse
• the feeling that all the air just got sucked out of the room, followed by the middle of my back to my neck tensing up then my rapid heart beat and my legs feeling heavy and my ankles swelling and wanting to pass out...oh wait..thats a pregnant panic attack
• waddling..painfully lol
• feeling like I'm going to fall over cuz of my big belly
• as much as I love this lil baby...im generally not going to miss being pregnant!

Yesterday as we was shopping ( this happened at 2 stores) people kept asking the normal question "when are you due?" but I got alot of "I bet you're ready to pop" and "are you trying to get things started?".  Apparently I am so big that people think I'm going to go into labor at any time lol. Even my father in law said I look like I'm about to bust.  I'm not really that much overweight for my height and this pregnancy is all belly, and what a heavy belly it is! Anyways thats whats going on so far :) It's 6:25am at the moment and I have been up since around 3:30am so I may try to squeeze in a nap before we have to get up and meet a few people...may update later.

*Good Morning*....i guess

Well today hasn't started to great.  I had nightmares all night. Even though Julian reassured me that everything was and will be ok I couldn't shake the feeling. That was around 5am...it is now 8am and I still feel it. Oh how I wish I had some coffee, and a better internet connection!! I never liked coffee much before except those Starbucks Frappuccino's and BK's iced coffee..but recently Julian has been getting me coffee from McD's and we have been going out for breakfast on the weekends. Its been a nice change, but i know it won't last because the baby will be here in February and there will be no time or extra money to do that. So I am enjoying it while I can.

Mmm...wish i had coffee!!!!

My sweet, wonderful husband is having an awful week at work :( I feel terrible for him.  Most people hate their jobs, but you have to stick with them with the way the economy is.  I appreciate him going to work everyday, even when he is sick or in pain.  He's an amazing man and he puts his family before himself.  He is my everything!! I don't know what I would do without him. There isn't enough words in the world to tell him how much i love him!!

I can't wait til tomorrow!! Julian put in for a vacation day :) Our anniversary is Saturday. Nothing big planned, just spending the weekend together..hopefully with no interruptions :) It's hard to believe that we have only been married 1 year! It feels like forever,but in a good way. I am blessed beyond belief!!!
