Scarlett's grounded!


Scarlett's in trouble... she hasn't let me sleep for about a week now. I think she's having fun with it. She's like, it's nighttime! It's time to rock n roll! Juan gets to snooze away (because of this whole "paying the bills" thing, I think it's just an excuse) while I beg the baby to close her pretty little eyes. (Although I'm not always so sweet at four am) More pictures, anyway:

Scarlett likes her baths. We think it reminds her of floating around in the womb.

she is so adorable. As for the no sleep issue...I was right there with you a few weeks ago....we are now on a sort of schedule. Justin sleeps about 3-4 hours at a time. Of coarse, this morning he was up at 3:45, luckily he went back down around 4:30:)

I remember crying one night because it was 3am and he was still awake and crying...didn't know what to do with him, but it does pass. Everyone kept telling me it too would pass, and for the most part it has...Todd is the same too, he has to wake up and go to work, so sometimes the couch is his bed so at least he can try to get some rest.

Everyone says nap with the baby and do that if you can..sometimes I can, and sometimes I can't, but it does help! And, call in the parents so you can get in a nap during the day - even 20 minutes helps!

Keep us updated.....hoping it gets better soon. - Thinking of you often!

I have it heard it said instead of "welcome to motherhood," it is, "welcome to sleep deprivation." Guess you confirm that?! hope you can get some shut eye soon Cari!

She's so so sweet! Can't wait to meet her (although my advice is to take it easy on that one!)... Enjoy every sleepless minute, it really does go fast! (Even the sleeplessness, although it doesn't seem like that now!)

Scarlett
*Day time play time, night time sleep time*
They grow so fast, before you know it she will be sleeping 12 hours straight and you won't even remember the sleep deprivation days. It will be more like wondering when was the last time she actualy woke in the night. Then you get prego again ;).

Ahh...she will sleep soon enough and you'll think yeah for us. Then she'll start teething and then all bets are off ;) Give her a hug from us.

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...
