Getting the baby's room ready!

Well, we finally finished the baby's room. We have what i think is the most beautiful crib and dresser in the world, but I'm a little biased, mostly because I picked it out and I like to think of myself as having infallible taste. Here are some pictures of us painting, etc. Finished pictures to come soon, as soon as I kick this latest nasty little bug. They just seem to pile up on me lately!

See? I helped! (I'm wearing my fancy painting clothes and sporting my fancy painting hairdo, in case you haven't noticed)

Juan had to do all the crouching and detail work. Luckily he's such a good sport.

Isn't he cute when his hair sticks all up like that?


He's my hero for figuring this thing out!! (It wasn't a pretty picture there for awhile)



The finished product. I love the pink stuff, it's so self-indulgent. Adults can't really adorn themselves in pink the way babies can.

I love it! Especially (I'f I see correctly) the gold trim on the indulgent pink linens! Things are changing here in Sac what with all the new babies and EVERYBODY is married!!! We need to get together...stop being so antisocial;).

I love the crib and set. Can't wait to see the finish product of the room. Looks like you had fun setting everything up. We actually took months to get everything ready. We would do a little here and a little there, but over Christmas break, we pretty much finished everything....

I feel like posting!

I haven't posted in awhile, and I still have no pictures to share, but I thought I'd put a few words down anyway. (Let me take that back, I have pictures to share, but I'm not the in-love-with-my-pregnant-body type, so any picture you see of me will be from the neck up.) Last night we took Christmas photos at my parent's house for their Christmas cards. (Again, I was seen only from the neck up:) ) It was so much fun. I forget how much fun my family has when we're all together. Jimmy took it upon himself to set the room up like a photography studio, even though Mom was just taking the picture with her tripod and self timer. Mom made delicious chili and corn bread and we all sat around and basically showered Chloe with attention. Juan and I had to leave early because he's sick (sinus infection) so I had to get home and baby him. I told him it was pretty funny that his 7 mos. pregnant wife was hauling herself off the couch to get him his little face warmy t...

She's here!

Scarlett Eve Valdes was born Saturday, February 17th at 10:34 AM. She was 8 lbs, .02 oz and 20 inches long!! It was a pretty awful labor, for both of us... I went into labor Thursday night, got sent home, and then at noon the next day realized that this was serious!! I waited until Juan got home from work and then we went to the hospital around 3:00 PM. I was in pretty heavy labor from then until she was born the next morning. Not very fun! I ran a pretty bad (and unexplainable) temperature while in labor, I think I peaked at around 102 degrees. Because of this, the baby was wisked away to the nursery for observation. Luckily she does not have any signs of infection, but she does have jaundice, so they're keeping her under the blue lights. It's hard (hard being a mild term, it's the most awful thing I've ever experienced) being home without her but I know she's getting good care and hopefully she can come home soon. Meanwhile, Juan and I have pretty much moved into ...

Scarlett's home!

Image
In her little hospital bed. Scarlett Eve Valdes-- snoozing, as usual! Daddy and Scarlett (still in the hospital) Mommy and Scarlett (please ignore my huge head!) Nana and Scarlett Daddy and Scarlett again Finally going home!! yayy!! Scarlett came home from the hospital on Thursday night. We're soo happy to have her home, and she's proving her health by porking right up! She's put on two ounces since her birth weight and cries enough to let us know her lungs definitely work. We had a rocky night the first night, but last night she impressed us by sleeping straight through until 3 AM and then falling back asleep around 6 and letting us sleep in until 9. Not bad for her second night at home! We just can't get enough of her! Here's some pictures, not the best ones but hopefully more will come soon. (Once I work up the nerve to put her in cute outfits. Right now I'm too chicken to put anything over her head. She screams like we're cutting out her liver or s...
