1 month old!

 Seriously where did the time go? This has been the scariest, amazing transition to having two kids. Life has been in a fast pace lately. The days go by so fast, by the time I know it, it's already 1 and I have to pick up Megan from daycare. The coming days are the ones that I am going to be most afraid of because dad goes back to work and I am going to have to do this on my own with you and Megan. So what exactly have you been doing other than keeping all of us up at night?!:)  You still wear Newborn diapers but daddy and I think we should switch you to 1's because the newborns are fitting a little snug. While we are talking about diapers let me just say that you have peed on both me and daddy. However, you have only pooped on me, and I want to say you have pooped on me about 5 times. I think you wait for me to change you, and you just let everything flow during. The first time it happened dad said that if it happened to him, he would have thrown up. We go through so

Just a few photos

 Here are just a few photos I snapped of my two babies yesterday. Theses were the only ones that came out close to satisfactory after I tweaked them a little. I obviously need more lighting in my house. I need to figure out where the sun is at what time. I have a million windows, the only thing is the sun likes to hide sometimes. Tomorrow my husband said that he is making me a backdrop. I'm hoping he finishes it tomorrow just in time for Andrew's one month pictures. Since I know I will not be taking as many pictures as I did with Megan. I thought I could at least do this for him.

Sleep is for the weak!

Sleep has been a thing of the past. I hate not having my sleep, I really wish that my little boy knew that night time is for sleeping time. He has been pretty good for the most part. He wakes up during midnight and wakes up again at 3 in the morning then again at 5 am. Some nights are pretty bad though, like two nights ago when he was pretty much waking up every hour. I thought I was going to die of no sleep. I kind of knew this is how I was going to feel because I already get upset when someone disturbs my sleep. So Jaime and I have set up a system. He feeds him at midnight and by 3 and 5 Im pretty much awake during the nursing. However, my husband goes back to work in a few weeks. So far Jaime has been at home for about a month. I have been spoiled, he has not gone to work in that time. It's been such a nice time with my husband, he has been so helpful and it has been such a nice transition from having one baby to two. I have to admit it has not been that hard with a second b

Graduation!

Last week on May 9th I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Education and it was one of the proudest days. Let's back up just a little though and document how our trip was. We woke up on Thursday a little late needing to leave. For whatever reason we have been a little late to events. Usually we are way early for events but recently we have just been on time for most events now. Let's just blame it on having a baby shall we? Both of the babies didnt cause much trouble on our way over there, "Megan asked 3 times if we were there yet?" It was pretty funny. So a couple of days before we booked a hotel room. Kingsville is a very small town in Texas and apparently there are not many hotels. So we were pretty much late on booking a room for all 4 of us. That being said when we arrived at our hotel it was a total flop. We hated the room. I mean we hated the room so much that we only stayed for one night when we booked it for two nights. First off, it smelled like smo

Don't they look alike?

Call me crazy but my babies look alike. My mom claims that Andrew does not look like me and  Megan. However, I think they looked alike when Andrew was a couple of days old. Now if you see him he is getting his own features and he is looking more like his daddy. I wish I had a picture of my husband when he was a baby but I don't. I still have yet to take his newborn pictures. Life has been a little crazy around here lately. Every week we have something new.

Andrew's Birth Story

Image
First of all, thank you to the ladies for the well wishes and the comments from my breastfeeding post. I loved hearing your stories, and I was very touch by your kind words.  This birth story is going to be a doozy so just be aware:) On April 25th, I was looking forward for the field trip my class was going to take. I was on cloud 9 that morning. I was just the happiest ever. I mean seriously I was singing and telling Megan and Jaime "It's Friday, and it's my last day!!" It was my last day of student teaching and I was going on a field trip and eating at Mr. Gattis. Oh gosh, I was looking forward for it. I got to school and I walked into the class, I was talking to the kids about the field trip and they were telling me that they wanted a picture with me and I told them, and I quote, "Guys we have all day long to take that picture."  It's sad that we never actually take that picture with my students. The last photo before he came Then out of no
