    Bath Time

    Anthony loves bath time he only cries when i take him out. He likes playing in the water with his feet and hands, splashing water all over the place. I think he looks adorable in the tub enjoying himself, I just look at him and laugh at the silly things that he does. I am going to miss it when I go back to work luckly I am only going to work 4 days a week. I want to spend as much time with him as I can. Amirah and mohammed have a new place to hang out the bathroom since it has been getting cold and i guess here in the winter the tubs gets hot. Amirah sleeps in the tub while Mohammed sleep by the window. I think its pretty funny its a very weird pace to sleep.

    Anthony 1st snow

    Jose and I are very excited its going to snow, finally. We are supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow today and tomorrow which is really exciting. I was just listening to the news and its actually going to be 3-6 inches thats great, I haven't seen snow falling in a long long time. We are supposed to have a blizzard gusting winds 40-50 mph. Very cool.
    Today I am getting ready for Thanksgiving, Mayi and Esteban are going to come friday to spend a week with me and meet their nephew for the first time. Today I am going to get the turkey that way I can start seasoning it I haven'e decided yet how exactly I am going to do it or what sides and desserts we are going to have. I am going to look at some recipes, maybe even go to the book store and look at Martha Stewarts new cooking book to get ideas. I am happy that my brother and sister are going to be here for thanksgiving I miss them so much and also they can help me cook, or with Anthony. lol

    Carpe Diem

    That what we did this weekend we seized the day or the weekend. It all started thursday I was looking a a show or a commercial I can't remember about Mount Rushmore and I ask stinky if we could go because we are not far from South Dakota or thats what I thought. Stinky said ok but then we started talking more about going away this weekend and he suggested Dulth, MN which is said to be a really nice and romantic place to visit, so I said ok. Friday i went to the store to buy things that we would need for the drive snacks, etc. When stinky got home from work we started to get ready and just like that we decided to change our plans, Chicago, yeap we decided to go to Chicago 5 minutes before we were to leave to Dulth. Its was great it took us about 5 hours to get there it was great. On saturday after sleeping for 6 hours because Anthony woke up we got ready to explore the city of Chicago. We had breakfast and then we meet up with Stinky's friend fom the marines at The Art Institute of Chicago. We saw alot of great art work Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, it was unbelievable the collections that they have. After that we went to a restuarant and had Chicago style pizza it was ok, there is nothing like NY pizza. Then we walked up and down Michigan Avenue there was all these stores Coach, Boss, Kenneth Cole, etc, and I can't forget the Hershey store and store FULL of just chocolate, it was awesome, I had some hot Cocoa and a chocolate cookie they were delicious. The only bad thing was that it started to rain and we had to go back to the Hotel. On Sunday we went back to finish taking pictures and then we started on our way back home. We had a great time and hope to do it again, enjoy life, take chances, life is short. Who knows when we'll go back to Chicago but I am glad that we went just to say yeah I've been there. Hopefuly when Anthony gets bigger he can enjoy the trips that we make as a family. Carpe Diem

    Our first Real Fall

    Most of my life I have lived in Florida, I was born in NY but when i was 6 my mom decided to move to Florida. Now that we are in Minnesota we are experiencing the seasons and its awesome. Summer finished right after Labor Day, it hasn't been that bad. I actually like the cold weather the temperature is in the 50's during the day and the evening are in the 30 - 40's. Actually it moght even snow on Sunday, not anything to extreme but I think that that's pretty cool. Anyway the thing that I like the most is the changing of the leafs. I think that its looks very nice, hopefully we can enjoy this for a while. See in Florida we only get Hot Season, To hot to go outside Season , Hurricane Season, and Hotter Season.

    They're here.......

    Well moms here, so things are great. Yesterday my aunts from New York came over and we spent the day here taking a lot of pictures of Anthony at first he was ok but after a little while he was really upset. He was asleep when they came so they woke him up and wouldn't let him go back to sleep, my poor baby, but at least they got some good pictures. Today we plan on going to the mall in Minniapolis, The Mall of Americas, we are going to spend the day there and hopefully take more pictures. Anthony is doing good last night he had a little trouble sleeping, thank God mom is here to help. He is sleeping right now and he looks so adorable.

    Grandma is coming.......

    Today is a good day Anthony is doing great. Also today my mom is coming to visit from Florida and also two of my aunts from New York. My mom is so excited to be meeting her first grandchild, I think she is going to spoil him like crazy, I don't think thats a great thing but hey what are grandma's for right? lol!! She already wants to take him to Disney when we get back to Florida in December, I don't think that will be possible since he'll only be 2 months old. lol! I'm so glad that mom is young so that she can enjoy her grandchildren to the max. I bet that people will think that its her child instead of grandchild. Well I can't wait till I see her, I miss her so much.

    One week

    Anthony is a week old and he is doing great. He had a little jaundice but he is doing fine now. He sleeps pretty good at night. Last night he was having a little trouble sleeping but after he slept till 8:30. It crazy how much he changes every single day, its like a new baby. We went to the Dr. on friday and he has already gained his birth weight back plus more, babies are supposed to lose 10% of their birth weight the first couple of days he only lost about 5% and it supposed to take them about 2 weeks to gain it back, now he weighs 7lbs 15oz, he weighed 7lbs 8ozs when he was born. We went out last night to have some wings and Anthony was great he slept the whole time at the restaurant even with all the noise.

    Home Sweet Home

    Well we have been home for three days and things are great. Anthony couldn't be anymore perfect. He is a great baby he only cries when he is hungry and wakes up twice in the night, so we all get our sleep. Today we went out to the mall, not that he noticed because he slept the whole time.
    The cats are scared of him Amirah doesn't get near him and Mohammed just smells him but when he cries he hides. lol! We are very happy and it's amazing to hold him in my arms. It's the best feeling in the world. I love just looking at him. He already has me wrapped around him finger.

    Not yet...

    Well the Dr. told us that I am doing great actually WE'RE doing great. My next appt. is Monday if he is not here by then, then I will have to be induced sometime next week, which I don't mind , whatever is best for my baby I will do, I am hoping we don't have to go that route but some things we just can't help. Stinky and I are very anxious to have our baby in our hands.

    Update...

    Nothing yet, my due date is thursday. Anthony didn't want to come early I guess, I thought he would since me and Stinky came two weeks early. Oh well! I have been getting some contractions but nothing regular, they come and go as they please. Today I have a Dr.'s appt. we'll see what he has to say. My back is killing me, every bone in my body cracks when I move. Not the greatest feeling in the world. I am hoping Anthony comes soon maybe before tomorrow that way I'll be home by Sunday so I can watch the season premier of Desperate Housewifes and Grey's Anatomy, I've been wating a long time to watch those shows. LOL!! Maybe next time I have an entry I'll have news that Anthony is here...hopefully.

    So close but yet so far.....

    Well baby Anthony is not here yet. I can't wait, I've been having some false labor but nothing that would have me going to the hospital. I feel HUGE and very uncomfortable I have a feeling that I'm very close, or maybe I'm just being optamistic. lol! My hands and feet are swollen like I have never seen before, and my rings don't fit. Well hopefully by the end of the week maybe Anthony will be here.

    Happy Birthday Yayo

    Today is my grandfathers birthday, I wish I could have made his dream come true. He was hoping that Anthony would be born today but unfortunatly it didn't happen. I wish Anthony would come out already, but I guess he is not ready to make his debut yet. I think Yayo is mainly excited because his first great grandchild will be named almost exactly like him Anthony Jose, Yayo's name is Jose Antonio. To tell you the the truth we didn't realize that we named him almost like Yayo until we told him what we were going to name him. Well Yayo I love you and I wish you the best birthday, I am sorry we can't be there to celebrate with you.
