Updates Aug-Dec (Now)

August

We had our Nathaniel and everyone is very happy! In the beginning, life was really hard but it's been alot better. I was having alot of Breastfeeding issues but finally got it under control and baby and I are very satisfied with our progress :-)

September

Nathaniel turned 1 Month
-My in laws bought a house in the same city and live 5 minutes away and it's been great. We decided to move the kids to the school in front of their house so that life would be easier on me. Bubbs was really happy about changing and Audrey wasn't too thrilled and cried on her first day. Everything is fine now.

-Also, we sadly lost our dog Boris to an illness this month, we felt horrible to find him sleeping between the haystacks, I felt so awful, RIP Boris

October

Nathaniel turned 2 months!
-Naty turned 29 and was feeling sad cause he's heading for 30!

-It was Nate's first halloween and we dressed him as a lion, Bubbs as an evil joker and Audrey as a butterfly. I did my usual italian dinner for them, nothing big, it was perfect.

November

Nathaniel turned 3 months!

-Bubbs turned 9 and Naty surprised him with a vacation to Vegas and he was really happy. We all went to shakey's to eat and I bought him a cupcake afterwards and sang Happy B-day to him. He's really a good boy and has a BIG HEART, I love my lil man so much, I'm so proud of him.
-We went to Vegas for a mini vacation, it was really relaxing except for night time with Nathaniel, he decided to cry and wake up every hour and continued that when we got home! He's somewhat back to normal and waking up twice at night. We saw a variety show and just mostly chilled in the room, it felt good to get away.

-We had thanksgiving at the in laws new house and it went really good. We had everything you can think of and asked Miguel and Veronica, along with Steph to be Nathaniel's Godparents and they were really happy.

December

-Nathaniel turned 4 months and is hitting milestones left and right!

-Audrey is turning 6 this month! She wants tamales for her birthday so tamales she will get! I love my lil peppa! she's my life :-)

Currently I'm trying to keep up with these kids, they have me on my toes! Naty has been amazing and helps me alot with them, he's even been pitching in with the house! (who knew!!) We're having the time of our lives and I thank God for that, without him we'd be nothing and I seriously mean that--NOTHING.

Can you say STRESS?

I have 1 week left of instruction then the week after is finals. I can't believe how they just pile on the homework during this time. They should have given us all that crap weeks ago not when we're trying to study, gggggrrrrrrrr. Can you tell I'm stressed? I am!

Oh the hives are finally gone, they would come out on my hands here and there and then they finally disappeared, yeah it was weird. I hope they're gone for good and never come back.

As for the kids, Bubbs was sick first and now Audrey is sick with a cold. Audrey woke up coughing really bad and choking, she scared the heck out of me. But I've been giving her medicine so she's better right now and acting her crazy self.

And Naty has been working on the house and added a gate to the side since we have weirdos parking there and fighting too! we had to call the cops on some losers that were yelling and threatening each other, they came fast too! So I guess Naty got scared since the kids window is right there facing the street and anyone can just pop their head in their window or break in for that matter, it was scary. So him and his dad built a new wooden fence and its all up but just needs the trim and moldings and another coat of paint and it'll be completely finished. Tomorrow he's knocking down another brick wall (small ones) so that he can start building the wooden doors.

Oh and I went on a major shopping spree, mostly for Audrey's B-day and the treats for the neighbors and Audrey's teachers. I also had to get two b-day gifts for Mia and Lorena, they're both turning 1! time flies

Let's see, then for thanksgiving we had a big feast, my mother in law helped me make everything since her brothers came over and my brother in laws too. We made a big turkey and stuffing, ham, macaroni salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn on the cob with veggies, fresh bread rolls, pumpkin pies and pumpkin rolls. That took all day too. The day was awesome! Oh and the best thing of all was that Miguel and Veronica asked us to be baby Miguel's Godparents!! we were so happy and gladly accepted. By 5pm I was so tired and wanted to go to bed.

Ok, I hear the kids messing around and its 9:30 I better put them to sleep or they'll be crying in the morning when I wake them up, LOL.
