Universal Lot

After the game Hano went and got a golf car and we drove around the studio lot. We saw so many fun movie sets, War of the Worlds, Jurrasic Park, Phsyco, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the time clock from Back to the Future, and so many more. We had such a fun time cruising around on the golf cart, Marcus loved being out of the heat.

FuN wItH MaRcUs

Marcus is growing so quickly now!! When he was first born he hated his bath so much, but I am happy to say he loves them now. He kicks water all over me! He has tried to dunk himself a few times, ha ha ha. He now rolls belly to back if I can figure out how to load a video on here than I you can see. We are working on back to belly but he is not there quite yet. He is giggling more and more, he has always been a smiley baby so I knew he would have a fun personality.

All about the baby

Well it has been some times since I have updated the blog and I decided it was time to show off my new little guy. Since I am so behind the pictures will be out of order and I am far to lazy to try and make sense of them at this point. Marcus was born March 21, 2011 at 7:20pm, he weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. I was in labor for 38 hours and yes for the last 3 hours I did decide to get the epidural. I was really wanting to try the natural birth but I was so tired and not dilating and I just did not want to deal with the pain anymore and might I just add that the epidural was a little peace of heaven. Marcus came out absolutely perfect, he did not cry just a few little gripes. He has his dad's adorable dimples and tons of black hair. We have already had to cut his hair three times and he is just a little over two months now!! He is now sleeping through the night which is great for me. I am loving spending every minute with him. It is amazing how much they change in just a few short months. He has started giggling, jabbering, playing with his toys, loves his books, and now we are working on rolling over. He received his first round of shots just a few weeks ago, it broke my heart I could not help but cry. He took it like a champ though and was playing soon after he received them. I am not looking forward to the next ones though, it is harder on me than it is on him I think:) California is going well, we love the weather and it is so nice to be back with Hano again. I am finally feeling like myself again there is still a gap between my ab muscles but I am trying to resolve that :) I have decided that a book needs to be written on the healing process after the baby is born ha ha ha. All in all we are very happy parents. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do.

38 Week Update

I am not good at blogging, but decided to write a quick update. I am still pregnant :) He has started to drop a lot which is giving me a little glimmer of light, it has been so great being pregnant but these last couple of weeks have been a little more challenging. My doctor said things are looking good, so hopefully we can get this little man here sooner than in two weeks ;) At this point I am just hoping he decides to come at a descent hour so that Hano will be able to make it home, I am trying to stay positive in hopes that my good attitude will in some way make it come true.

We are excited to get our little boy here, we already have a million things we want to take him to do. I cannot wait to get him out on the beach and in the water! It will be nice to be back with Hano again, these last few months without him have not been the most fun. So everyone pray that he will come sooner than later, because I really do not want to get started :)

Changes, Changes, and More Changes

This pregnancy is going by so fast and I am running out of time to get things done. Hano and I are putting in our 30 day notice to our apartment management next week, yikes that means Hano is going to get us a place in California ready. I am getting pretty excited we have found a few places that we like so hopefully when we check them out they are as good as they look on the internet.

Hano is now officially done with school, he graduated with two degrees from the U of U and is now on the hunt for his dream job :) I am so proud of him, he has worked so hard these last few years and at times his ambition astounds and inspires me. He truly believes that he can do anything and fears almost nothing which makes me so happy because it makes me not worry. I know that he is excited to move on and search out opportunities that will help fulfill his aspirations. We are both praying that things will fall into place and that we will both be able to find out niche in California and adjust to our new lives as parents as well.

I am getting ready to start my third trimester and my belly is growing more and more each week. I am not minding it to much other than finding clothes to wear is challenging and I really do not want to buy a lot of new things but I may have to break down and buy some long shirts to cover the pants that I can no longer zip up, thank heavens for elastic bands. I have a lot of things to buy for my little guy still and I am hoping to get them bought before school starts up again. It is such a daunting task finding things that I like, but I have found a swing, mattress, and finally a bedding set that I am liking. I am still working on finding a travel system that I like for the price I can afford, there are just so many brands and styles I cannot decide. I am also busy buying up onesies, pants, shirts, bath towels, blankets, binkies, bottles, socks, and etc. there are just so many things to think about and get, although I do not mind the clothes shopping part to much.

I had an appointment today and was going to get a 3D picture of the baby, but of course he decided it would be best if he did not look at us little stinker. We tried to nudge him and get him to move but he would just hit us back with his hand and keep his face turned, I hope this is not a sign of things to come I can only take so much attitude :) He is nice and healthy though and kicking stronger everyday which makes me happy. I know the next few months will go so quickly and then he will finally be here and I am beginning to get very excited to see my little man.

With Hano graduating, moving to California, myself trying to finish school, and becoming parents it seems that Hano and my whole life is changing, but in a very positive way. We are both excited to start a new section in life and to experience everything this new year will bring.
