My Little Greggy - 2 Months!

So its been TWO months since I've had you. Sigh...Why won't time slow down just a bit? Anywho, as each day passes you get more and more handsome. :) Your starting to fill out and lose all the little wrinkles you were born with and gain some fat on your body. :) Yes, you've became quite the little chunkster. :) Your weighing in at around 14 pounds now. I'll know the accurate details at your 2 month appointment.

You have became more alert now, and your eyes follow every single move I make. No Joke! You love to be held, talked to, rocked, and just overall be loved on. You are just so sweet and full of smiles, that I yet to capture on my camera. And you always seem to smile at the correct times; for example, when me and your daddy will talk about what we think your gonna be when you grow up, you always have the biggest grin. I guess you do know what we're talking about. :)

Your sister just loves you so much. She will bring her musical toys over and play them for you and you just give her all sorts of smiles, and she then will lean in and give you tons of kisses. You two are going to be the best of friends. I know you both with gain up on mommy and daddy. I guess that means we must be prepared. :)

As I type this right now, your laying in my arms barely closing your eyes. But slowly your drifting off to dreamland. I guess I will rock you to sleep. I love you my little prince. Happy TWO Months of Life Little G Man <3

Love Always,
Mommy

Daddy had to prop you up in his computer chair so you could see me cook dinner.


Just hanging with your da-da.


This picture just makes me smile. :)

Happy FIRST Birthday to My Little Love Bug

A special little girl turned ONE today! I can not believe it! Did a year really go by that fast? It was one of the BEST years in my life so far, and I know it can only continue to be great.

I still can't get over how my little love bug went from being 7 pounds 1 ounce and 19 3/4 inches long to now being 22 pounds and 2 ounces and super long. Not for sure on the height just yet... We will be going to her 1 year check up soon, which I dread because of those shots they will give her. :( *tear*

I remember the day so perfectly and I pray I never lose that memory of how my baby girl made her debut into the world. Here is the story: (Pre-Warning....TMI)
"It all started on Monday 9*21*09, I wasn`t feeling good, so me and daddy went to the hospital. They hooked me to the monitor, checked my cervix and I was completely closed, baby still high up but 50% effaced. I was a little sad, cause due date was right around the corner and I wasn`t making progress. So me and daddy come home and do the *nasty* =] and we went and walked on the treadmill for a mile. Then on Tuesday, I woke cramped on and off all day, wasn`t thinking anything of it, due to me having sex the night before. Well me and daddy wanted to make things happen, so we did the *nasty* again, and went and walked for a mile and half on the treadmill. I got in the bed at 9 p.m. and daddy was on the floor playing his xbox, and I sat there watching him and talking to a few of my friends here on IAP. =] At 12 a.m. I noticed I was getting these cramps again (not painful what soever) and they had a pattern. So I went to contraction master.com and timed them..and they were coming sporadically but still with a pattern of no less than 7 mins apart. I told daddy and he was like lets go to the hospital and I told him no, they don`t hurt and I don`t want to go and get sent back home like we did yesterday. He said well if they keep going for two hours we are going. I said fine. Well at 2 a.m. they were every 5 mins...Still not painful and we started towards the hospital. When we get there they hook me up, check my cervix and I was already 4-5 cm dilated at 75% effaced! WE were SHOCKED! Greg was like its really happening!!! They called my dr. and he said if I haven`t made any progress by 6a.m. to start the pitocin. Well it seems like everyone was having their babies that night, (it was so full, I`ll tell you later on that) but they came in and checked my cervix and 7 a.m. and I was still at 5 cm. So they started the pitocin, asked me if I wanted the epidural and I said no, I`m doing good. The nurses and all were impressed cause I talked through all my contractions. At 9:30 a.m. the nurse came in and said your dr. wants us to break your water. And after we break it, the contractions will probably come a little closer together, so would you like the epidural. I said sure. The dr. came in broke my water, and then the anesthesiologist came in and administered me and epidural. (It wasn`t as bad as I thought, just burned, but when the tube is out..my back is sore.) My nursed up the pitocin speed and at 10:45 a.m. I called my mom and was like where are you, the nurse checked me and I`m at 7 cm. My mom arrived at about 11 at my contractions were coming every 3 minutes. At 11:30 I dilated to a 9 and the nurses came in and said we are gonna do some practice pushes. My contractions were literally one after another. We did a practice push and they were like hun your gonna have to push harder than that, we do the next one and they were like your doing great, I see her head, then we do two more and they were like she has a lot of hair, they bring me the mirror and I saw where her head was crowned. After those 4 practice pushes Aliviyah decides she wants to come out on her own. The nurse was like she is trying to come and is pushing her head back in waiting for the dr. Well Greg looks at me and says `Awna are you pushing?` I said no, why? All the nurses looked and was like come on she is coming with out the dr. And Aliviyah poked her head out and her hand at the same time. I didn`t push at all. She came out all on her own, and they just pulled her body, then my dr. walks in and stitched me up. I tore naturally. Got 4 stitches. But all is worth it and I felt no pain! Aliviyah was 7 lbs 1 oz and 19 ¾ inches long. She was born at 12 p.m. It was by far the BEST experience I have ever been through, and Greg and I would totally do it all over again. =]"

We didn't throw a her a party because me and her dad thought it would be special if we just did a little family thing for just the four of us. So that is exactly what we did. :) She had a pretty good time.

Her Uncle Corey sent her some pretty amazing gifts! She loves them. One in particular is a lawnmower that plays music and that is by far her favorite. I'm gonna end this post with a few pictures. :)

Here she is loving on her awesome build-a-bear from Uncle Corey. :)

Thanks again Uncle Corey. :)

Playing in her ball pit!

Oh and we taught her to say and show I'm one! :)

Lol...so I also attempted to make her first birthday cake, with the help of her daddy on compliments of doing her name for me.:)

And last but not least, the beautiful birthday girl!

*I'm officially 23*

I turned 23 today. (:

-22 was a pretty amazing year for me, because I was blessed with two of the best gifts life can offer...a gorgeous daughter and a handsome son. :) {{Its insane to me that I had both my babies at 22.}}

This was me last year on my birthday...

I was 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant...and HOPING I would go into labor and have a special little girl share my birthday...but little did I know she would arrive 11 days later. :)

So for my birthday this year I woke up to 3 of the greatest people in my life.
Livi Love gave me a bunch of juicy kisses. <3
Greggy gave me a smile in his sleep. :)
Greg (My love) was the sweetest person today and let it be about me. (:

My parentals and siblings came up and cooked me dinner and then we followed with cake and ice cream.

After they left I wanted a few pictures so me and my Love Bug went outside while daddy played BF2 and Bubbie was sleeping...




So after that picture, I decided we are going to get daddy, since someone was paying attention to everything else.

Here is few pictures we took. :)

I didn't get many photos of Greggy because he was catching up on his Zzzz...
But overall, I had a great birthday. (:

Random Fun Stuff (:

So this past week has been filled with some fun stuff. (:

Livi Love is getting more teethers in!!! She will have a total of eight (8) teeth!
Check it out!


The weather is starting to cool off and not be so hot and humid...therefore that leads us to taking walks outside! Livi Love enjoys it SO much that every time we get ready to take her out of her stroller, she cries.
Greggy...well not too sure what he thinks about it just yet. But here's a couple pics. :)



On Thursday a little someone turned 6 weeks old! I took some adorable pics of him. Here's a sample...




Livi is a mess in a half. :) She must know that her birthday is coming up, so she has been extra sweet. She cracks me up all the time. She's constantly getting into and learning knew things. I think she's hinting for a cell phone for her birthday. Haha...

Her new favorite thing to do is "shut" the doors; BUT she doesn't like it so much when she shuts herself in and us out. :) Here she is shutting the door in my face (I can only imagine what the teenage years are gonna be like) and smiling about it. <3


That's all for now. (:

Kisses, Clapping, & Cows?!

So your probably wondering what in the world does the title of this post mean? Haha, just like it says...its about kisses, clapping and hum you guessed it cows!

Livi loves her bubbie (brother) so much! She loves to just give him kisses all day long without me or daddy telling her. I finally managed to capture a photo of her giving Greggy kisses. <3


So my child is smart. I know, your thinking that is what every parent says about their own offspring; but I'm being serious. For Livi to only be 11 months old, she knows quite a bit! The other day I told her to "clap" and guess what!? SHE DID! All I have to do is say it and she will. :] She's been learning how to pronounce words. So that means me and daddy have to watch what we say. She has a little toy cow that she likes to carry around. Well if you say "cow" she will repeat it, but it sounds more like "Ka" or whatever...Lol. Its the cutest thing! You just have to hear it for yourself. :] So check it out...



Hope you enjoy. :]

A Day Outside (:

The other day we all went outside to let the babies get fresh air and of course play. :] Livi had a blast outside...

She decided she wanted to walk away...


Then maybe check out some grass...


Get a little exercise in between...Push-ups anyone?


Then came back to chase her daddy.


Greggy is too small to do much, but he definitely checked out the outside life...

Here is a picture of my FAVORITE people in the whole UNIVERSE. :]


And I just had to have a picture as well...



We didn't stay out there long because it started to rain... Maybe next time I can capture more pictures.
