Stats

Our little darling had her 2 week checkup on 8/23/2010 in Durango where we take her and she surprised us alright. Her weight at birth was 6lbs. 15 oz. and then when we took her in 4 days later her weight was 6lbs. 13 oz. but when we took her in just 10 days later she was at 8lbs. 2 oz. I was surprised a little, but then again not too much because I knew she was eating well since I had already been to the store twice for diapers.

So far we are almost at 3 weeks with our missy and we couldn't be happier. I feel wonderful mentally and physically. I was a little concerned I was going to have anxiety about things, but something awesome has happened and I don't. She is a good baby and Kade is adjusting well. I am very blessed with my two babies. Kade is talking so much these days, it blows my mind. He is so intelligent and so handsome. I often wonder what I did to deserve so a beautiful family. So now we wait for Taylor's 2 month checkup where she gets her shots. I will be a little bit more at ease when she does and take her more places and actually take her out of her car seat. 5 more weeks of more hibernation till we get this girl some more added protection with vaccines. I can't help but wonder with concern why some people don't vaccinate. I guess its not my place to wonder though. Till next time!

She's here!

Our daughter made her entrance into this world on 8/9/2010. Labor went well and hurt like heck, but I got thru it and things turned out wonderful. I remember saying right after I had her "I am so glad that's over". I had her in two pushes; that's how bad I wanted it to be over. I ended up having Jared, my mom, and his mom in the room and gratefully had Dr. Baca who I absolutely adore. I know it sounds weird but I'm slightly missing being pregnant, but happier that my little sweetie is finally here. We are so thankful and blessed and can't believe our little family started with just us two and has now doubled in size. Crazy how quickly things happen. We couldn't be happier!

Jared and I just killing time while I was having contractions, we were at the hospital for my induction at 7:15. The day suprisingly went by so fast. Jared was making me walk around everywhere and at the time I was annoyed, but so glad he made me becuase things went by faster and smoother.

And finally...........

Taylor Maclovia Chavez

Weight: 6 lbs. 15oz.

Height: 18.5 inches
Time: 4:47 PM

Kade's first meet and greet with his baby sister. He is such an amazing big brother, but I didn't expect anything less from my little guy!

The Great Grandmas are so proud!
My Abue came all the way from Guadalajara to see Taylor be born and this was very special to me

I want to thank everyone that came up and called throughout the whole process and let them all know that I love them and am thankful for them. I especially want to thank my mom, Mari and Megan for their help with Kade. I know he was a little scared to leave me at the hospibal (as he calls it) and wanted his mommy very much and I know that he had good comfort and reassurance from these three gals and I love you girls very much for you being with my other baby while I was with little miss Taylor. Just talking about this makes me excited to see what the next birthing experience will be like. Can I just say that I had the absolute best Doctor in the world (and yes I really do believe that) and the most sweetest amazing nurse that helped me in more ways then she will ever know. I love that my babies were born in Durango, CO and that the first hands to touch them were by Dr. Baca. I just admire her so much and love her to pieces. I have never in my life met such a more calming and beautiful person.

My wonderful Nurse Janet who was from South Africa had the coolest accent. Funny story, when I was feeling the baby come down it was a state of panic and she ringed the front to call for Betty (Dr. Baca) and they couldn't understand her accent (I myself thought she was yelling BABY) and she so frantically screamed BETTY (coolest accent). I will never forget the sound of that.

What a wonderful day I will remember forever. Till next time we have another baby!!! OR will we? HMMMMM. Guess that will be up to God!

Night Night!!!!

Taylor!

39 Weeks Pregnant

Pregnancy is coming to an end, and I feel anxious and excited and also scared. We go in tomorrow at 7:15 so that I can be induced 3 days before my due date. Many people wonder why I do this and it is all because I want Dr. Baca. I feel most comfortable with her and wouldn't want to have a doctor that I don't feel comfortable with, especially going through labor. Plus, things go by much better planned when having a 2 year old. I am gonna miss Kade so much which is why I am anticipating to get out on Tuesday by noon to be home with him just like we did when he was born. I was ready to be home. I feel a little overwhelmed because of all the people that want to come up, and I know I should be grateful and believe me I am, but a big part of me just wants my little family for the night and to stare at our new beautiful baby and enjoy all that (plus get the hang of breastfeeding). I know there are a lot of people that are also anticipating her arrival and I don't want to keep them from that either. Bottom line I should be grateful at all the people wanting to celebrate our joy, and I am. Just a lot of emotions I imagine that any woman would be feeling at a time like this. I'm very ready though for all that lies ahead of us.

Last night Jared and I went on a date one last time before we have to find a sitter for 2. We had a wonderful dinner and then went and saw a movie that I completely did not understand. Finally we went and got Kade from Jared's parents house and we let him sleep with us, it was a little treat for him since he is always asking and also a way for me to take in the last night to have only one child in our home and get some cuddles in with my baby. I can't believe I'm gonna have 2 babies. I feel so blessed and thankful that God has not only blessed me with one beautiful baby, but now two. Well enough of my jabbering. Oh I hope it doesn't hurt too bad, but I'm sure it will. I know what to expect this time, so I guess that is where all my nerves are coming from. Well here's to Taylor's birthday being on 8-9-10....Wish me luck!!!
