Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm a little late in posting up pictures from Thanksgiving but here they are. It was soo much fun, this year we went to my SIL's (Becky) house in San Bernardino for the week. This was Benji's 1st Thanksgiving and I had 2 outfits for him which I couldn't decide which he should wear. I ended up using both since he had a blow-out in the first one. He looked super cute in both of them!

I love this picture of him yawning!

This was the best picture I was able to take of the both of them together.

Uncle Mark gave Israel this toy car and he LOVED driving it around the backyard. He rode it every chance he got!!

Gall Bladder Finally Out!

I had my surgery yesterday Friday Oct. 31! I'm soo happy to finally have my gall bladder taken out. This means I can now go back to eating everything!! I have missed eating soo many great foods that had cheese, eggs, butter, good ol' fat! I have liked that this strict diet helped me to lose weight but I'm ready to go back to normal. I'm still a little sore but hopefully soon the pain will be all gone and I'll be better than ever!

Here are a couple pics of Israel & Benji in matching outfits!! Benji is already 2 weeks old and Israel is 19 months!

Meet Baby Benjamin!

Benjamin Nathan was born on Friday Oct 17, 2008 at 9:15 am. He was 7 lbs. 5 oz. and measured 18 in. It was a pretty quick delivery. I was scheduled for an induction on thursday morning at 11am but it was delayed till 10:30 pm because they ran out of beds. I slowly dialated from a 1 to a 4 overnight and once they broke my water in the morning I went from a 4 to a 10 in like half an hour. It was so fast that I didn't get the chance to have an epidural and it also didn't give the Dr. time to make it for the delivery. It was painful but quick! I had an easy recovery too!
Here is my little bundle of joy!

Delivery Day!

So today I was scheduled for an induction at 11am but all the beds were full at the hospital so I have wait for an open bed. I'm hoping I will get a call soon from the hospital. Anyways here is the last picture of my belly! Hopefully my next post will be pictures of Benjamin!

Like Father Like Son

Love these recent shots of Israel Jacob & Daddy! They are soo alike. Israel is definitely ALL daddy. I wonder what Benjamin will look like, only a few more days till we find out!!



Brrr! It was cold this weekend. It was a nice change of weather from the really hot summer days but the cold came so suddenly. I am happy that I can enjoy the last week of my pregnancy in the cold though.

9 months!

So I'm officially starting my 9th month this week (36 weeks). He is starting to get heavy and making me more uncomfortable. I love being pregnant but the last month is always the hardest. Here is a picture of me today!

Tired?

So I'm now 36 weeks pregnant and it's taking a toll on my body. My back has been aching and every so often I move in such a way that I hit a siatic nerve which makes me scream out. I like being pregnant but working at the same time makes it hard. It's been a tough week for me, these work days just seem to last forever. I wish it was friday afternoon so I could go home and relax. The bad part is that I don't think I'll get much rest from here until the delivery because I still have lots to do including working in the baby's room. I've been trying to clear out Israel Jacob's clothes that doesn't fit him and put in all of Benji's clothes and it's been a very slow process. There is clothes EVERYWHERE!! I must complete this before he arrives or else it may never get done. Well this is all for today.
