He so crazy!

Last night we had a real mother of a storm, lots and lots of heavy rain. Juan and I, of course, loved it, although I managed to refrain from going out into the middle of the driveway and doing a dance. Juan, however couldn't help himself. Right in the worst part of the storm, Juan decides that he needs to clean out the gutters... apparently my brother Joe had scared him with some gutter story. (Funny what you find interesting as an adult... I think I spent maybe thirty seconds total in the first 26 years of my life thinking about rain gutters) Anyway, so Juan decides to go out in the pouring rain and clean the leaves out of the gutters. In SLIPPERS. I had to post the pictures, even though they don't demonstrate how ludicrous the situation really was.

P.S. No baby yet! I'm sure all you mothers are like, "Of course there's no baby yet. Who has time to post about rain gutters when there's a newborn in the house??"

Love it! Thinking back on the call from Juan last night, there was a bit of panic/excitement in his voice! By the way, I'm now hoping baby V decides to wait it out until next week sometime! :) Hope your week is wonderful! Hope I don't miss it, but if I do we're stopping at your house before we even get home!! :)

Cari darling, I am thinking of you! I love the photos of Juan. We had the very same scenario last night at our house. Greg on the exact same ladder, in his rain jacket, pants rolled up to his knees in his Croc's getting pine needles our of our clogged gutter. Funny men we have married :) Take care of you. It's to bad babies have a mind of there own and come when they want. XOXOX

Great pictures. Enjoy your time before baby V comes. It is a lot of work with a newborn. Take up offers from your friends and family for help! Hope your Mom can stay with you too. I don't know what I would have done without Mom here for at least the few days she was. When I didn't know what to do with Justin, she took care of it. Thinking of you and can't wait to see pictures.

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!

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...
