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 something!)

Horray! She is home - so glad to hear. I am a bit jealous that she let you sleep until 3am. I am lucky to get 2 hours of sleep, after feeding, changing, and getting him to sleep! Hope that continues for you. Look forward to lots more pictures!!!

Cari, I am sooooo happy for you both! I am afraid to call Juan, because I swear, everytime I got my newborns down to sleep, someone called and woke them up! I am also glad you keep up with your blogging and Myspace. I was dying to see pictures and she is adorable!!! (I totally think she looks like her Mommy, lucky girl)

Good luck, and if you need to vent about your lack of sleep, lack of showers or abundance of poop, feel free to use me as a listener!

Love, Rachael, Eric, Jenna and Jayden!

PS, Love the name!

PPS... both my kids were jaundice, too. Eric couldn't say billirubins, so he called them Billy Bob Thortons! LOL

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 ...
