The life of a new Mommy!

So I am now officially the mother to two children. It still seems weird to say that and D-man is already over two months old. He is a pretty good baby. He was a little colicky at first but seemed to get over it soon. He is a good sleeper and went into his own room alot earlier than his sister did. Life has been crazy with two kids, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I have always heard that going to two children is really hard. It has been a change but not as bad as I thought it would be. The biggest struggles I have is with "Mommy Guilt". I have a busy, social toddler who just wants to be played with all of the time or be a very big helper aka little mommy. Then I have a newborn that I know isn't getting held as much as his sister. Then I have a house to take care of, a husband to take care of and a part time job. On top of all of this I am trying to start a embroidery business and I have jumped into Spanish once again, trying to get fluent. I definately have to stay more organized as a mother of two and it sure does take alot longer to get out the door. And on those random days when I get a couple of hours to myself I feel guilty for leaving the kids with my husband or my parents. (like I am slacking on the job or something, I know this sounds ridiculous) So all in all life has been great just trying to figure out how to balance life without going nuts. It is hard to explain this frustration and I have no idea if this post is making any sense. So here is to staying organized and not having so much Mommy guilt!
Hope you all have a blessed week!

This and That

So this week is a big week for my family. We will welcome a new little man into our lives. Donovan Luis Perez is scheduled to be delivered via c-section on Friday. I am so excited, nervous, anxious, and a whole other mix of emotions. The nursery is done and our bags are packed for the most part. I have so many different feelings going on. I thought that I would like knowing what day I would be delivering, but now I think it is worse. I am trying to enjoy lots of time with Delia this week, keep my house clean and get the couple of things done on my to do list. I hope the week goes fast but not too fast. I plan on taking some naps, going to bed early and just enjoy this time in general but it is really hard. I am so ready to meet our newest little blessing and to be a family of four. Until I can post pics of him here are some pictures of his nursery. There is more on my facebook page if you want to see them!

Hope you all have a blessed week!

Blogging world has not been forgotten....

Hello All!

Well to say the least it has been long time since I posted anything. I have been a slacker and have been hearing about it from several people. Good to know at least someone misses my weirdness.
I don't really have a "topic" for today so here is what is currently going on in my life.

-It is raining outside. I love it! It has been raining alot lately but being 9 months pregnant in July I will take the cooler temperatures.
-World Cup is going on. For me I haven't watched one game all the way through but for my husband this is "chocolate". He has been all about soccer for the last month, much to my nesting dismay. It is over on July 11th, so hopefully I can talk him into doing some of the things I think need to be done, but can't do myself. One thing good about the WC is it made Father Day gift buying easy. Just buy something that has to do with the world cup.
-As mentioned above I am very pregnant. I will have a C-section on July 30th. I have very mixed feelings about this. I am excited, scared, anxious, and worried. I still have a little to do but basically we are ready for our little man. I have one last shower on Sat, so after that hopefully I can find the energy to put the finishing touches on everything.
-Delia is getting bigger and bigger. She is one of the reasons I listed all of the above emotions. She has had her Mommy all to herself and know she is going to have to share. I just hope I am not sleep deprived enough that she doesn't feel neglected.

Well I think that is all for now. Going to go to bed and TRY to sleep! HaHa Hopefully I can keep this updated a little more. Only time, and a new baby, will tell. :)

Hope you all have a blessed week!

Here and There and Everywhere

So alot has been going on the last couple of months and I have decided that even though I love blogging I really stink at it. Before I had a blog I had so much I wanted to write about, then when I got one, I am a total slacker with it. So hopefully I can get better at it. So for now here is a couple of things happening in our life.

1. We found out we are having a BOY! Yea! I am so excited, now to determine a name. We have narrowed it down to two. I know what my favorite is, but Chuck won't pick one yet. :) (I think he already has, but just like to drag me along because he know he is driving me crazy!) So when we get a name I will let you know. The nursery is painted light blue, we will be putting a thick chocolate brown stripe around and a thin orange stripe on either side of that. Me and my mom are going to make the bedding. We will use dinasours and Soccer Balls (are you surprised). We are going to work on the bedding over spring break so hopefully I can post pics soon.

2. I am so glad it is almost spring! I love the Sunshine!!!!!!!

3. My 10 year highschool reunion is in June. Weird, so weird. I have mixed feeling about this but and so excited to go and see everyone! More than just looking at their lives through facebook. LOL

I don't really know what else to write for now so if I think of something else I will just have to post later.

I hope you all have a blessed week!

RIP Papa Lee

Well as most of you probably read on my facebook page my Papa passed away last Sunday night. He had been sick and basically unresponsive for about a week and a half. He was surrounded by his family and just went to sleep peacefully. I am so glad that he is in heaven with my Gaga now. I know that they are happy together. For his memorial service they have asked each grandchild to write their favorite memories of Papa for the Preacher to read, so hear is mine.

Papa Lee loved us grandkids and great-grandaughters and spoiled us rotten. One of the first things I remember is he always had a snickers bar hidden somewhere for me when I came over. He loved to work outside, and it was a real treat if we got to ride on his lawnmower with him. He loved to take his naps and had no problem telling us kids to "hush up" if we were being too loud. We would take bike rides all of the time. (I think this was more so Gaga could get us out of the house for a minute but he still loved it. :) ) He loved to watch his Dallas Cowboy's football. He loved to eat. He always read out of his large print Bible, and always made sure that we read our Bibles. Growing up I always remember him in either red sweat shorts with a white t-shirt and a hat or jeans that had a crease sewn down the front of them, a white t-shirt and a hat. He loved to eat ice cream and drink pepsi and sometimes put peanuts in it. He loved to work with his tools in the garage. He had a large collection of National Geographics in the garage also. He loved to sit on the porch with binoculars and watch his birds. He loved to help people and give them anything they needed. He adored my Gaga and loved spoiling her. He loved to talk to anyone who would listen and tell some of his old stories. He loved the church and he loved God. He loved his daughters and always said they were the best in the world. He was very protective of his family. He was stubborn, courageous, a gentle giant, giving, onery, and a man unlike many in our culture today. He was loved by many and will not easily be forgotten. I love you Papa and can't wait for the day I can see you and Gaga again!
