Update.

Ok so it's been a while. A long while.
Update!
My youngest is 2 months old. My oldest turned 2 years old.
We held his party at a park, which was great. Except the bathrooms where locked... Why do parks do that? I don't get it. He had this super cute cake. Looked like mud and we added a Batman Monster Truck and a trophy. (The theme this year was Hot Wheels/Monster Trucks.) Everyone else received cup cakes. Saved us time from cutting cakes and such. It was also my cousins 15th birthday. We, as Hispanics, call it Quincesañera. So we all had a cup cake war. It was a lot of fun. A lot of kids went, which really showed me that my Batman has a lot of friends. He got a lot of toy cars! Like a lot. He already has 5 cases filled with them; I think we need to buy 2 more.
He's growing up so fast. He can almost put sentences together. He may seem like he's behind a bit in speaking, but doctor has told us that for a BILINGUAL, he's very advanced. Which makes me smile hard. I love hearing that my son is doing such a good job in things.
Living situation is that same. I still live with my mother. But my brother will be moving in as well. That means his wife, his baby and him. It's going to be a full house! We'll manage. We will try to move out by the end of the year. My husband and I are guessing he's not getting the job out of state, so we will be staying here.
Well, I'm going to try to write more often, since I'm getting used to the new schedule with the baby and big boy.
Thanks for reading!

Much love,

It's been almost 3 weeks

He's so beautiful.
He's healthy.
He looks so much like his older brother.
They're almost like twins! It's crazy.
People keep telling us, "It's because they're close in age."
Maybe I just make beautiful children!
Ha! This surgery was different because he was breeched. It was intense. I didn't jump when they put the epidural in. That's what I was mostly afraid of. But the pressure of the doctors pushing and pulling was crazy. They were tugging and I was moving from left to right. It may sound over dramatic but when I tell you that it was even a bit hard to breathe, I'm serious. Other women can say, "Oh, it wasn't that bad for me." Ask them how long it's been since they're surgery? Because mine was less than a month ago...
Recovery was pretty much the same for me. We were there for a total of 48 hours. My friend who had a regular C-section was there for 72 hours. So I'm thinking I was a trooper. I tried not to complain a lot. But I still made it known when I was in pain. I just hate those pads though. Ugh. I was so glad to use my own. But the ugly underwear was a lot easier to use than my own.
Preparing ourselves for the stay felt like it took us forever. Thank god for me making a list. Did the hubby follow it? Of course not... But he can't blame me. My mother was awesome enough to take care of big brother for me.
Speaking about big brother; He is such an awesome helper. He LOVES his brother. So much. It's ADORABLE. He helps with feedings, diaper changes. He wants to give him kisses and hold him. The cutest thing was when the nurses brought little brother into the room. Big brother went "Mine!" He even got to hold him that same night.

Ok so that's enough about that experience for one post. WARNING: There will be more.
Much love,

Yeah I know...

I haven't been on in a while...

The last couple of months, both my hands but mainly my right, have been swelling up a lot! I thought I wasn't drinking enough water, raise my hand above my head. I even had to stop wearing my wedding ring! I spoke to my doctor... Carpal Tunnel :(
GAH! WHY ME! I didn't know it hurts so much!
I can't open anything. I can't pick my child and hold him correctly. GRR!
I'm angry. But she did tell me that the symptoms might get less after I have the baby. I hope so. I really do.
We ended up purchasing one of those wrist bands with the metal thing to keep it still when I wear it. It makes it feel SO good!
Aside from that; It's been one week since my baby shower. And I'm ready for this baby to come out. And he will in two weeks from Tuesday!
So happy! I really can't wait. I wish it was sooner. I can't wait for my son to have his brother! His partner in crime! His side kick! It probably sounds like I'm more excited for my son to have a little bro to boss around lol. But I'm just so happy!

I'll keep you posted!
Much love,

A couple days...

It has been a couple days.
Lately I've been feeling that odd feeling when you're in your last trimester.
The feeling where you can't sleep, eat properly because you get full quickly and feel bloated and stretched out. Also the feeling that the baby is going to jump out of your belly button like in a scene from an Alien movie.
This kid is a jumper. But he's just like his brother. He was like that too.
These boys... They'll probably be the death of me. But I have a great love for them.
A lot has happened the last couple days. I've been trying to organize as much as possible. And clean as much as possible.
It's a bit difficult when there's two families living under one roof.
I really want out though. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents. I just can't live with them.
It sounds funny, but it's the honest truth.
Since I quit my job, my son has started to come to me again. He cries to me. He complains to me. I love it.
He's getting so big! He's learning so much! He's starting to copy us too <3
I can't wait until he meets his brother.
I'm sure they'll get a long. He has shown us with other babies. I think he sort of gets it. Hopefully we will get to potty train him soon! He's showing signs that he might be getting ready. But I'm not sure he's quite there yet.
Well, the wheels have been turning in my life. And looks like they're going in the right direction. I hope they are for you as well.
Much love,
Abbii
