Beloved ipad - R.I.P

My lovely husband left the ipad on the roof of my car!

And when the speed limit changes in Bloomfield, due to the road construction , it flew off and was ran over a million times!!

Currently taking donations to replace!! I miss my beloved ipad!

Dear iPAD,

You were always there for me when I am stuck nursing a cranky baby and she never wants to let go!

You taught Ben his shapes and colors in spanish!

You entertained Ben when we had a long drive or were at the DR office!

You were always there late at night once the kids were in bed to check e-mails and catch up with the outside world!

You were there when i needed a recipe and my printed would not print, I could just take you in kitchen with me!!

I will miss you!!

SWEETNESS

So...as usual, we set up shop in the kitchen and attempted a 3 month photo shoot! I thought there was total failure, but I was pleasantly surprised at my children when I went to go edit! I guess i didn't need to lock them in the closet for being so bad....kidding!

This sweet girl has ME, not daddy, wrapped around her finger! I just adore her!!

14.25lbs 25 1/2 inches long

99% in height

82% for weight

Sleeps from 10pm-6:30 (most nights)

Champ eater

Beautiful brown eyes

loves to be talked too

laughs like crazy when tickled

loves Ben as long as he is not, literally head-butting her

a little dramatic

a touch of colic, but that is starting to fade!

Miss Mary Jane has melted all of our hearts, I think we will keep her!!

July 1st

I just love this little boy! Especially his red mustache! These were taken during the weekend of July 2nd. We spent the weekend at Dj & Jessica's wedding friday and saturday

Ryus's cousin was getting married on July 2nd and we were out for the rehearsal dinner and were able to get a few pictures of Ryus and I with Mary Jane! I just love these!!

Mariatchi weekend

On June 1th we went to ABQ and hit up the annual Gonzales Mariatchi weekend! My family on my grandmothers side, every June has this weekend! It was going to be the last one so we knew we had to go! We had tons of fun listening to music and eating the BEST mexican food!! I know I look pretty white but my grandmother is a Gonzales, so there's a little hispanic in my blood!!

Mary Jane's birth announcement

FRONT

BACK

The birth

So now I will take you back to Monday May 9th! A very anxious day for me! I went to my dr appt to find out if my cervix was ripe enought to induce on the 10th! I was due on the 6th so I was getting super frustrated at this point. The dr gave me the ok to be induced with cytotec, a cervix ripener. I was barely 2cm dialated and 60% effaced.If that did not work then I was scheduled to go back home...boo!

Tuesday morning about 7:15am the cytotec was inserted. I waited until 8:30 then I got dressed and Ryus and I walked for 2 hours outside around the hospital to try and get things going. The Dr came in about 12:30 and said I was 3cm and about 80% effaced. Dr Priebe said that she was going to go ahead and just break my water. The very next contraction I had after my water was broke was super pain full, I thought "oh" crap I remember this feeling from Ben, this sucks!! THen my second contraction sent me in panic mode, it was HORRIBLE!!! All i wanted to do was to get up and move around but they made me stay in bed until they could get the babies heartbeat to make sure she was not in distress from the water breaking. The L-O-N-G-E-S-T 10 minutes of my life!!! They saw super bitchy Jessica come out for sure!! I told Ryus I can not do this I need an epidural! Let me remind you this was only 10 minutes of pain, I kept telling myself that I was such a wimp. I am only a 3, can you imagine what a 10 feels like!! They finally let me get up and I felt like I needed to go to the bathroom (#2) the nurse said that if it felt like that then the baby was probably coming. She wanted to check me but I told her " NO WAY" cause then your going tot tell me that I can't have an epidural and then I am going to freak on you lady! She nodded her head and said " I will disregard your comment on the bowl movement and go get the doc for the epideral! I continued to shoot Ryus the stink eye in the bathroom while I labored in pain on the bathroom floor on all all fours....I was DYING!! It took about an hour from breaking my water to getting the epideral! The epideral dude (can't spell what he really is) hooked it up and made me feel absolutely nothing. He was my hero!

The nurse then checked me and I was at a 10!! It was time to push!

In just 2 pushes...

Miss Mary Jane was born!!

It was such a great labor, except for the hour of pain! I was so proud to say that I was not as big of a wimp as I thought I was. I was only a 3 but went to a 10 in 1 hour! PAINFUL shiz! I know that If I just would have waited like 30 minutes I could of had a natural birth! But who was I fooling, I had no desire in my entire body to do it natural!Plus...30 more minutes would of felt like an eternity! Epiderals are the best thing ever invented! And I will stand by that!

P.s. there is another post after this too! Trying to catch up!

3 Month update

Yesterday Mary Jane was 3 months old! We are taking her official 3 month pictures tomorrow but I wanted to share these 2 photos.

Mary Jane so much looks like her brother, even tho these pictures dooooo NO justice to the real deal in person!The picture above are of both of them at 3 months old! Besides the fact that she has brown eyes and Ben has blue I feel like she is Ben all over again when I look at her. But boy do they differ in everything else!

Blogging has defiantly been put on the back burner, but I have tons of pictures that I will be catching up on soon! What can I say, the whole 2 kid thing now is STILL kicking my butt! But you all knew that. Just wishing they napped at the same time, went to bed at the same time and decided to be cranky butts when Ryus was home! But no such luck!
