Family love..

Didn't you know that being a big brother is hard work? Nicho is doing so good with Mylee, but he gets wiped out!!! Ok, I do realize I just posted the same picture twice, but not sure how to get it off! ha!

Sweet lil gal

Ok, so I cheated a little and took these pics off of Hil's blog(thanks for letting me use your beautiful photo work), but I will get my own pics of my sweet kiddos up tomorrow...I promise! I have lots!!!!

Mylee Marie Estrada

She's here!!!! Mylee was born at 1:40 pm yesterday, Feb. 23rd. She weighed 6 lbs. 3 oz, and is 19.5 inches long. She is eating well, and we are all doing great. The delivery was a completely different experience then with Nicholas (for those of you that know that story!!!) Jerry, My mom, Jerry's mom were in the delivery room. Dr. Blann and Lori made it over (really I didn't think they would make it in time....) in time for me to pus a few times and out she came! She is just precious and I think she looks like Nicho. Nicholas is very proud of his little sister. He kept saying "I love you Mylee!" Hopefully he will continue to feel this way when we get home! I will post pictures soon! I have to go and get some pink clothes!!!!! Thank you sooo much for your thoughts and prayers.

Let's get this party started!!!

Well, we go in to the hospital tonight at 9, and they will induce in the morning...the actual due date. Please pray that things go smoothly and that the DRUGS WORK!!! :) We keep asking Nicho if he is ready for the baby and he kindly replies, "No way!". So, hopefully his tune will change tomorrow!! We are very excited and are thankful for your thoughts and prayers!! I will keep all of you posted.

They are 1 Today!

Can you believe that my beautiful nieces are 1 today? I can't believe how the time flew by for me, not so sure it flew by just as fast for my sis and her family! ha! We are going out to eat after we get all of our kiddos from "school" today. The girls' birthday bash is on Saturday. I will post some pics from their party. I really hate to post something without any pictures because I am a visual kind of gal. But, at this rate, I am just doing good to get an update on here. The latest: Jerry has been painting Nicho's big boy room red, white, and black. It looks really good! Nicho is excited for his new room, and for his big boy bed. We are leaving his room for the baby. It is chocolate and turqoise (spelling?). If we have a girl, we will foof it up and make it girly. Obviously that will be a project after the baby comes. I keep thinking I need to get a bag packed for the hospital...maybe I will do that this morning. Nicho and I were up at 4:45 this morning because he needed to go potty. 4:45 is early, but hearing him say he needs to potty is a great thing!!! We aren't stressing the whole potty training thing right now, but he does a really good job of telling us when he needs to go to the bathroom. I think while I am home on maternity leave, he will master potty training..because you know I will have SOOO much time and won't be tired AT ALL! Ha! Nicho is still going to go to school while I am home, just not all day. I can't pass up staying home with my favorite two kiddos. I know the time will fly by and it is going to suck big time when I have to go back to work. I have about 2 1/2 weeks until my due date. I am hoping to hang on as long as I can. The longer I wait, the later I go back to work!! I am super excited for all my friends that are expecting, or are about to be expecting... :) Praying for you all!!!

More Party Pics

Nicholas Turns 2, well, a month ago!

Nicholas turned two on December 5th. He had a great birthday. He had his bday party the next weekend at Chuck E. Cheese's. Then, we all headed back to the house for hamburgers, pinata, and of course there was a barrel full of adult beverages! He had a great time! He has no desire to open presents so we opened them once we got back to the house.
