Welcome our sweet baby boy Dominic!  He is truly the sweetest little boy ever!  So far he loves to sleep sleep sleep!  I started the induction on Thursday afternoon.  The labor wasn't too bad until Friday at about 10:00 when the contractions started to get almost unbearable LOL.  I was stuck at 5 cm for a long long time and then all of a sudden around 12 pm I jumped to 8 cm.  The resident called my OB doctor and by the time she arrived 20 minutes later I was 10 cm and ready to push.  I only pushed for 9 mins (thank God!) and our sweet little miracle arrived!  They placed him on my belly and he peed all over us!  Another blessing!  I will forever cherish pee as it means beautiful working kidneys!  The pediatrician checked him over and said he is perfect!  The only obstacle we are currently facing now is some jandice.  I am currently waiting for a bili blanket to be delivered that we will have to use for 24 hours to get the bilirubin level down.  Then we go for a repeat blood test tomorrow to see if that helps.  I hope so!  I cannot stand watching him get his little foot poked and scraped!  :-(  Hopefully this will make him all better and life will be perfect :-)  Makayla is being a fantastic big sister too!  Such a big helper!  Just a little rough at times, but we are working on being 'gentle' LOL :-)

* Herbalife *

I am now a Herbalife Distributer! 

I love their products and I am super excited to now be a distributer and help others reach their health and fitness goals! 

I have been using the shakes for breakfast as part of a healthy meal and lifestyle during my pregnancy and I have only gained about 14 pounds so far and I am almost 37 weeks pregnant! This compares with a 25 pound weight gain in my previous 2 pregnancies. The shakes are super healthy and help me get all of the nutrients baby and I need each day! They have definitely helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle and they taste amazing! I can't wait to start my weight-loss journey once baby is here!  And get my booty on that treadmill!! LOL  I definitely miss working out since I haven't been able to during this pregnancy.  Never thought I would say that! 

If anyone knows anyone that is interested keep me in mind!  :-) 

Christmas 2012 & Makayla's Baptism

We had a fabulous holiday this year!  Makayla was the perfect age for opening presents and getting so excited!!

Here is our tree and some of my favorite ornaments....

 



Makayla helping mommy decorate the tree :-)  Or I should say putting the ornaments off!

 



My sister and my nephew came for a visit and the kids exchanged gifts.  They hardly get to see each other since they live in Columbus, so it was a very special visit.  :-)

 





On December 2nd, 2012 Makayla was finally baptised!  I am so happy to finally have this done!  We had a really hard time selecting godparents and getting everything together.  We decided on Nick's best friend Justin Dean and Nick's sister-in-law Donna.  Makayla was so good through mass, but by the time we got to her baptism afterwards she was not very happy!  It was nap time and she was exhausted and cranky!  Oh well, more memories LOL.  :-)

 

Christmas Eve we always go to the Borjas' for a big party and they make tamales every year.  Makayla had a blast playing with all of her cousins and a visit from Santa.  I didn't really get any good pictures of this evening since I was chasing her around the whole night and exhausted!  Being 7 months pregnant is really starting to wear on me! 

 

Christmas Day we enjoyed the morning as a family just the 3 of us.  It was very nice!!  Makayla was spoiled rotten by Santa of course LOL.  I bought Nick a Kindle Fire, which really surprised him and he loves it!  I got gifts cards to Bath and Body and Victoria's Secret, so I was one happy girl!  After we were done, we headed over to Nick's parents house and exchanged with his parents and brother's family.  Then we headed to my parent's house to exchange gifts and enjoy a delicious dinner!  My parents made prime rib, shrimp and mashed potatoes.  Amazing dinner!

 

 

 

 



That's all my updates for now!  I will post soon about my baby girl turning 20 months old already!!!
Makes me so sad!  Such a big girl!
