SO SORE!

Wow, I am so sore in my upper back! It could be that I am having a cold. 'Cuz last couple days, my stomach was bothering me on and off, on and off. It is driving me crazy. This morning, i feel sore in my throat. And my chest hurts too. it is possible to be cold! Important that i will take care of myself. Take my vitaman and drink some tea too. Sounds some virus going around here. Anthony have a cold. He seems to be getting better just wait and see then.

We went to Outback resturtant. Tristan was little scared by looking at the wall that have hanging items and pictures. He saw the shark. He was scared. Meanwhile he looking at it, he had ketchup on his hand and he towards to me said, mama mama in a low voice with his big eyes! Now I got ketchup all over my white shirt! haha Thats okay. i can be a kid again! haha!

Anthony is doing good! He is getting so big now! He is 8 weeks old! Unbelieveable! TWO MONTHS OLD ALREADY!!! JEEZE! He is so sweet! Gosh I loves his scent of smell. It's kinda smell like sweet scent. It s hard to describe what is like and etc. But I know it will be fade in few months! I will be missing that! He is a good baby. BOY, he loves to smile! He smiles all the time! HE have a big smile on his face. He make me so cheerful! His eyes started to change color. Now it is green! BIG GREEN EYES Just like me!! Tristan still have blue eyes! BEAUTUIFUL COLORS!! ANthony make alot of sounds! Cooing himself and laughing too!!

BEING SO BUSY!!!

Boy, I have been so busy a lot. The boys keep me so busy all the time. Most of the time during the day. During the nighttimes, I got so teird and relax too. Sometime I go to bed early like around 9 30 pm or 10 pm.

The boys -- Tristan and Anthony are getting so big! It 's so much fun with spend time with them and watch them grow too.

Tristan--

I loves him dearly! He is so much fun. Sometime, he can be pain in the butt if he is whinning and grumpy! I hates those. But it s funny to watch him how he acts out. I felt so bad if he gets whinning. I couldn't help him to calm him down when he is not calm down. It s not easy. I have tried my best as I can to help him to relax and tried to give him something which he dont wanted. All he wanted his Mama's love. I just have to hold him to calm him down.

During the nites, some reason, he wake up in the middle of the night, like 1 am. He screamed like crazy! ON and OFF ON and OFF! I dont know why, it could be his teething or the nightmare. We cant get into his mind to see what's the matter! It s not fun part to wake up in them middle of the nite by screaming about ten or twenty mintues. Tristan have other teeth growing on the back of his gum two on upper and two on lower. I can see few more is pushing out his gums. It could be the reason why. I am not sure.

Sometime, he can be jeslous when I was holding Anthony. OF course Tristan wanted my love. AWW! I love him too! I am trying to give him a toy or do his coloring book or watch his favortie shows while I was trying to feed Anthony. That is part is challenge part for me to keep both boys distant to do one thing at the time. But it s fun to learn how to handle and know what to do and etc.

Tristan learned so much words! BOY, he is so SMART!! He knows more than 50 words. I am trying to teach him more singing. But it will takes a while to learn over and over until he understands. Most of the time, he got the picture what we're saying or shows him the pictures in the book. The speech therphy also helped him too with his speech. The lady came to the house twice a week which it s part of program, Early Intervention. It's FREEE!!!!! Thats good thing!

Also, he have been going to audiology every fridays now. He needs to do some hearing test. BOY, he had a fist with different testin'. He will gets used to it when we will go there more often. So far, he have mild hearing loss. 45 dlb. Yesterday, we did his left ear with the earphone. TRistan wont wear his hearing aids. We had the earmold made but it s not arrive yet until other week. We wanted him to get starting with his hearing aids and hear more. Well, yesterday, we did his left ear with the earphone and the result showed his hearing test is 40 dlb. We coudn't do his right ear. he had a fist when we tried to put it on. We gave him a break. We will try other time. He did pretty good to listening the sounds. Yay for Tristan.

Anthony-- BOY! He is getting so big now! He is not little anymore! :( Here the picture of him when he was a newborn baby. SO SMALL!!



Now, he is getting so big. here is the picture of him.


Anthony is doing so well. Now he is only 7 weeks old! BOY The time have been flying by!! SLOW DOWN!! haha
Now he is wearing his diaper. But it s getting to small on him. Only thing that he is wearing staged 2. Soon he will be wearing staged 3. A upper size. For his clothing, he is not wearing his 0-3 months old anymore. He is done with that about three weeks ago. I would say. Now he is wearing 3-6 months clothes. However, if its buttons clothes. I had to open one button out by nearing his neck. BOY HE IS GETTING SO BIG!!

My grandma came over about two weeks ago. She brought the pictures of her and my dad together. She tried to show me the picture that my dad look like Anthony's face. It does! BUT BUT few nite ago, I told my brother Chris while we were eating dinner. Now Anthony looks like Nick who is my other brother. BOY his face might be changing. But he is so handsome baby! I started to noticed that Anthony's eyes starting to change color from brown/green to green/blue. My mom said last night to me that his eyes is blue! I said, it s green! Now dan this morning said, it s blue. I think it s only the reason 'cuz teh sunlight was directing into his eyes. I think it could be effect the color chaning. WHO KNOW!! We will just wait and see then.

I took the pictures of Tristan and Anthoy together. HOW CUTIE IS IT!!







Last weekend, we were playing around with the carmea. It came out beautiful shot. Here are some pictures.








Here is the picture of me and sons!





Last sunday, we had a blizzard. We have over two feet of snow!! Tristan wanna to go outside so badly. He was so whinning and wanna to be his Dada and GaGA (grandpa)
I dressed him up with his snowsuits and keep him warm. I took him outside. Dan and my Dad were trying to fix the snowplow. I forget what is called. it s machine to plow out the snow in the driveway. It was not working. The boys were fixing it. Tritan like to be with them. here is the pictures of Tristan and Dan!






And for my love, Dan is doing so good. He have been so busy himself as well. He works in the city. It is not that easy for all of us to not seeing him as much. He don't wanted to works in the city anymore. Because he dont wanted to miss our sons growing and wanna to spend time with the boys and be part of their lives. Also, the transportion cost is killin' us. It is very challenge part for all of us. About two weeks ago, I was looking online for jobs both of us. Just looking around. I saw the post that near by us for Dan's postion. I told him send the resume to them. So, he did! Few days later, the company, M.G McLaren Engineering Group called him up for intereview. He went for interview. He likes it better 'cuz it s closer to home and the benefits is much much much better than in the city! In the city dont pay overtime for dan's, which it s suck! The new job do pay overtime! WE NEEDS THAT! And the vacations benefits and the health insurance is much better. Of course, dan will be part of it for free. For family.... we only have to pay $200 a month. In the city, FORGET IT! it like $700 a month. WE couldn't do that. I felt it s way too much. I am so happy for dan took the oppourity to went for interview and I found it for him! Thank for the LORD!
About a few days after, the guy from the company, Mclaren called and informed Dan that he is hired for the company! He is so happy and relief too! Of course, all of us are happy for him!! Meanwhile, the job in the city was noticed that Dan is leaving cuz he gave a letter to his boss that he will be leaving in two weeks. The boss and co-workers took suprise shocking! But they understood the situation of the cost and etc. Howeever, they dont wanted Dan to leave the company. they love him and his works too. His boss gave him a offer. It s good offer. But it s not worth to stay in the city to spend the transportion and not seeing us as much. And that company is not widespread business. McLaren is! Its well-know! If we moves to CT, Maryland, Fl. We can do that, if we wanted to. that's would be later on! WHO KNOW!

So Dan will be start working in the end of the month. He is so exciting for that and comes home too on time to see all of us. And spend time with tristan which Tristan will go to bed after 730 or 8pm without seeing his DADA! haahha Now he will be seeing his DADA before he will go to bed!

ON valentine day's dan gave me a big big FLOWERS It s so beauitufl! He gave my mom flowers too. My mom took it so suprising! here is the picture of the flower! BEAUITFUL!


Hope you enjoy a long, a looonng stories what's happening with us! And enjoy the pictues too! hahahah Tristan came up to me dancing with Dan's headphone!! OH GOSH HE is listening to his favorties show, HI-5 from discovery show! his favorite song is on! That s song gave me a recording music in my head!! i have that song in my head for two weeks! It s so much fun to dance with him and sing with him! "three wishes what would that be!! Three wishes one, two, three, three wishes!!" hahaha

Enjoy your day!

A poem -- Mother's Love

I was cleaning up and I found the poem in my book. I like this poem. This is for my boys!

Mother's Love

How beauitful you are my life angel,
As I hold you in my arms for
Everyone to see,

You are a perfect and precious gift,
Sent by God to me.

And as you sleep at night,
You will always be safe
and protected,

And watched over by
the Lord above.

Love,
Mommy

BEAUITFUL BOYS

I was watching the movie, "Mr. Holland's o...." other days. It is for my boys!! It should change from Daddy to Mommy! It is for my boys!! Here is thee song:

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster’s gone
He’s on the run and your daddy’s here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It’s getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we’ll both just have to be patient
’cause it’s a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it’s a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you’re busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It’s getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling

Great New of new addition in our family!

WOW, it s have been a while. I was so busy with christmas, baking alot of cookies, and taking care of my Tristan. Tristan had a lot of fun with me making sugar cookies. he loves to use cookie-cut. Also, made peanut butter cookies. EVERYONE, repeat! EVERYONE ate it all! Also, made chocloate chip cookies and with the nuts too. It s fun to make the cookies. How yummy!

I had been going to the midwife every week last month to check on the baby's. The baby is doing good. Until after the holiday, I gained three pounds in one week. I was concered about the baby's weight will be bigger from the last sonogram, which it s showed that the baby is 8 pounds and 2 ozs. I spoke with my mom about it and very concered that I will not be giving natural birth. Also, spoke with midwife as well too. I went ahead to schudel for c-section. We went ahead to make schudel for it. the early the better! We re all exciting about it.

Here is the picture of me on Christmas EVE.
I looks too huge!!


I told my hubby through the email. He is so exciting. He can't wait to see the baby to come out the belly!

The next day, we were at the hospital in the early morning! Rise and Shine! haha :)
They put me on montier to watch out with the contraction and the baby's movement also, the hearts beats too. Also, they put me IV. BLAH! on my left hand! BLAh i dont like it. But the nurse can see my vein on my hand. She could nt see any veins on my arms. We were just waiting for the doc and getting ready too.

Then, we were on the roll for have the c-section. It s so fast! They gave me epuial(spelling?) to numb me. Gosh i could nt feel the thing! that s what epuial for. The doc, and midwife and nurses were getting ready to roll.

I heard the baby's screaming! Then it was quiet. Then I heard it again. The doc said, It s boy! Of course I know that! haha! They said, that's the baby's health is good! The nurse checked on him and the other doc too. They told my husband, everything is good and his hearing is good. he passed the hearing test. But we will be taking him again to Audiology when he will becomes three months old.

Welcome to the world, my son!! Here is the picture of him!




Dada and Mama with our second son!

We decided what name for him. It s Anthony Martin! He is 8 pounds and 8 ozs. 20 inches long! He is a good baby! He s looks like my Uncle John, my dad's brother. Anthony and Uncle John have the same nose! It s so cute! Anthony have brown hair, brown/green eyes. He is so precious baby.

I stayed at the hospital for four days. I was so happy to be back home. I really hate the lousy hopstial bed. But my c-section scar is getting better every day. It s better than the first c-section. I was so grateful with that. But at the same time, it takes time to heal for it. I have been taking the medience for the pain, while I was in the hospital. Now, I stopped it, I dont wanted to be addict to it. I know I am not. I am taking simple tylneor. Now the pain is gone but it s comes on and off with the pain. Of course the muscles and others are healing up, which, it s take times for it about six weeks to heal it up. I still had scaraple to hold my skin up from c-section. I had to wait about less than a week to take it out.

When I cames home from the hospital, I am so happy. Tristan is so exciting to see me home and the baby boy! He wore his t-shirt that our friend gave to him. On the t-shirt saying, "I am a big brother". He loves it! He is so exciting to see the baby. Of course, he wanted me to pick him up which I cant pick him up. I have to wait the scar to gets better! I would loves to pick him up and swirl him around like bears dancing in the room or mommmy/son dancing together!

Anthony had a little jaundice. We took him to his ped. doc. The doc said, he is doing good. But a little jaundice. It will go away. And it did! He is getting better and gains weight too. Now he is 8 pounds and 14 ozs. 21 inches long! Oh my! Oh my! Oh my little ones is growing!

Tristan!! I can't believe it! HE IS ALREADY BIG!!!!!! I mean, he is not a baby anymore! Now he is a toddler! He is so smart and walks so fast! Of course other toddlers do the same too!! However, he can be stubbon as mule! GRR!! **giggles** He is good toddler! He loves his baby brother. I wish this blog have like a tape recorder, so you can hear what Tristan tried to say his name, Anthony. Tristan tried his best as he can. It s so cute how he said it!


My favorties picture with the boys!


Hope u guys enjoy the pictures as I do!

Other sonogram again!

I had other sonogram this morning. It was quick to get the result. The baby is 8 pounds and 2 ozs. I just couldn't believe it! Two weeks ago, the baby was 6 pounds and 9 ozs. Then boom, gains so fast! It's so unbelieveable. I couldn't believe it was so fast in two weeks.

However, tomrrow, I will call my midwife to discuss what to do and futher. The midwives told me that about the second baby will be bigger than the first. So we will see then. (Yes, I have more than one midwife.) So, It's possible that I will have a c-section again to due a big baby! I prefer to do it after the holiday. I don't wanted to miss Tristan's receation on his Christmas Day. It will be fun day to see everyone to open the presents and give to my families too. We will wait and see then. I prefer to do after the holiday. Lord, help me and hope the baby will stay in my belly for another week! *winks*

I have been having some pains such as lower back pain lately. I can feels that the baby is lower now than before. It's could be any sooner! Who knows!

I will post it again, to inform the result what to do and etc.

Let me go now, to take Tristan in a bath time! He loves to play the water and his bath toys too.

Yay!

yay for tristan! yesterday, he learned how to blow the bubble. it was his first time he blown it. But I taught him how to blow by using the whistle from the battleship whistle. He was interesting in it. Of course all the kids do! :)

It s so exciting for him! Today, he wanted to give a try. He tried his best to blow the bubble. It s wonderful for him to learn!

Over the weekend, my huband was playing around with Tristan. Dan said, "That's it". Tristan tried to copy what Dan said. It was so cute. Yet, Tristan couldn't say it perfectly. Well, yesterday, while we had the speech lesson. Tristan kept saying it but it s turned out he said, Jacket! He said the word jacket! YAY for Tristan! Jeeze He learned so much words now! He is so smart! I am sure everyone's child, or children who go through like this! It s so much fun to teach him or her!

BOY, it is really really cold outside and the same as yesterday. Well, tonight it s might snow. but really, it s going to be mix. UGH!! that is not fun part being on the road once it becomes icy!

Two days ago, I made sugar cookies. I asked Tristan, wanna to help Mama!? Tristan nodded to help out. I put him on the highchair, he had the cookies doug and the cookies cutter! He had a lot of fun to play with it! He bahave very well that time. While I was making dinner, jeeze i had a hard time to make dinner. Tristan tends to push me over and over. I was like what s wrong!?! He wanted to be pick up. I cant pick him all the time. Now, my back starting to hurt more often! It s have been on and off!

Jeeze, last night while i was sleeping, i wake up with the horrible pain. It s coming from the nerves around my right hip area. I had a hard time to get up. It s hurts so bad. dan think that the baby is coming soon. It s possible that the baby is coming. that would be wonderful! We cant wait! hehee!

Alright, let me play with Tristan then.

Snowing in the morning

It was snowing in the morning! We had about ummm... I would say 6 inches. About that. It s not that so deep as we thought it would be. Tristan likes to look at the windows to see all the snow coming down from the sky!

Dan went to work of course while everyone who go to school have day off to effect to the snow day.

We went to the doc's appt for my check up rounties to see midwife. Everything is looking good so far. The baby's head is down from the result of sonogram. And everything is looking great, which it s good new! I will have other sonogram on the 19th to be prepare how big the baby is and etc. Seems to be on the right track. I don't think it will past the due date which it s jan. 1st. I don't wanted to past the due date. We will see how it is go then.

We re still thinking what name. We like one name so far. We will look up more then.

My brother Chris, brought the christmas tree last night. Tristan was so curiousing what was that. GOSH I coudn't describe how he acted when he saw it. He was like "oh whoa! what was that!" He kept pointing at the tree. I told him it s a christmas tree over and over to let him know what it is. Tristan keep saying reee. He couldn't say perfectly. But i understood what he was trying. He loves it.

Today, my mom put the lights on the christmas tree! It s look so pretty to see all different colors. BUt not yet to put the decorvation on the tree. It will be tomrrow. Hopefully!

I think we will go shopping tomrrow to get few things for christmas. Then it wll be all set! HOPEFULLY! HOPEFULY!

On Sunday, we will go to my dad's firehouse in the city. It will be nice to show Dan and Tristan the firehouse where my dad works. It will be fun!

let me go now. My hubby needs me to check on the web site.

Take care.

Other sonogram

We went to hopsital for utlasound to see how big the baby is. She (the nurse who did the sonogram) told me that the baby will be 6 pounds and 8 or 9 ozs. She couldn't tell me more depth. I guess it is policy of that. I have to wait until this friday to see what is the result and etc. Just wait and see then.

I am all ready for it. Only thing is not ready is the name of the baby. It is so hard to pick the baby name for the boy! Me and Dan needs to discuss the name! We wanted find the name sounds good and special for the baby. We will look for it! :) HOPEFULLY!

Well, the weather for tongith suppoused to snow. We will just wait and see for the result! LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW! heheh Dan is hoping to have a white christmas. Just wait and see then!

I think this weekend, I will make cookies for christams hoilday week. My couison wanted to help! It will be more blast fun! hehe. I am planning to make sugar cookies and decrotive it. Also, make choloclate chip cookies as well. :) HOW YUMMY IS THAT! YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY! heheh

Take care... let me go now to do some christma cards!

Wow, it s have been a while!

Wow, it have been a while. What busy week! I was in and out of the house. The weather have been changed werid. During the week, one day was so nice and felt like it was 60 degree outside. I took Tristan outside to enjoy the sunny day and walk around the driveway many time by turning around. He loves it. Of course, he was in his car stroller. (I can't rember what is it called). He loves it. He turning his wheeel and go "beep beep" and looking at the trees with leaves. There were a lot of leaves on the grounds which you can see many different colors and shapes. It's so lovely to see differnet colors and shapes of leaves. I loves all the seasons. Sometime it can be borning unless you do something to keep yourself busy.

Tristan have learn alot of new words: diaper, glasses, owl(really he suppoused to say clown. but he said, owl) heheh. He is so cutie pie! I am sure many of you have the same feeling with a baby who learning so many words. It's exciting moments to hear him or her talking. Of course, learning is important! *winks*

I know I am not finish shopping yet. I needs to get few things that's all. I am hoping that I will finish it up this week. Yet, we will see then.

Tomrrow, I will have my utlasound to check up with the baby's lenght and etc. It will be so exciting to see it again! I am wondering what is the baby's lenght. I think it could be about, ummmm... 18 inches and 7/8 pounds. We will see tomrrow with the result. But HOPEFULLY,hopefully that he will not be cuddle it up as a ball! Can't wait to see it!

Boy, this baby moving a lot! My belly feels so tight. It s running out of room!!!!! Sometime, I feels that I needs a needle to pop my belly! I am sure all the women who feel that way. It's normal to feel that way to be pregnancy. Recnetly, check-up with midwife on friday, is pretty good. Everything is pretty good so far.

Dan is doing well himself. Alway busy a lot with his job. It s part of life! :) He have been talking about cars/suv for me. OF course he loves to talk about it. He is trying to help me some idea what cars would I like. BUT I needs to get my driving lisence first. I needs to get it first. I needs to find time and think which date will be good for us.

This morning, I wake up and wodering why Tristan is not up yet. I looked at my alarm clock, which it s say, 7 30 am. I knew it s snwing outside cuz of the news said, it will be snowing. I went to my parent's room. I saw Trisatn already up. My dad showed Tristan the snow from looking at the windown. He likes it very much to look at it. I told him it s snowing outside. We re trying to teach him to say 'snow'. He almost said it, yet not clearly.

Alright Let me go now. I am getting so sleepy here. Take care

Morning, everyone!

Good morning!

I just surfing around the web sites and check out the emails. I just thought to post the picture of the second baby boy from the utlasound. It's so cool to see the head of it. Of course, it's shows more clearly. Enjoy the lovely picture of the baby's head.




I needs to go to the store again. Last night, when I took Tristan's shoes off. It's showed his lines from the shoes. He was not complaining or crying about it. He was having a lot of fun last night walking around the house at the baby shower party. It's time to get it TODAY! I have been looking for his size for the shoes at Target, and Kohl's. They didn't have his size! DARN! I will have to go to Stride Right. They have very beautiful shoes and very concer about children's feet. That's nice part of it. They have for baby's shoes. It's soft for them to wear. VERY SOFT! They have different stages for baby to toddlers, such as crawling, walking, and I forget other one. I went there with my husband once when we brought it for Tristan.

I have to wait for Dan to wake up. He is still sleeping. I will let him sleep more. I know he have to go to work tomorrow. Of course, it's MONDAY! For sure, he would say, I miss Tristan. Because he have been spending time more over the weekend to have fun! During the week, when he works, it is hard. His schedule is more up and down. He have been working overtime. It's hard to tell what time he would be coming home. Sometime, he emails to let me know or even call too. I guess the time have been running out for him to gets the project done.

Alright, I gotta to play/watch Tristan then.

Busy Saturday!

Boy!! Today was the busy day for all of us! We went to shopping and looking around. It was fun to look around the stores. However, Tristan had a great time looking around the Christmas lights and trees. Of course the decrotation of holiday themes. He had his face, like "OOHHH lights". I didn't hold him during looking around the store. Dan and my dad did cuz I cant hold him longer right now. I am only 35 weeks now! I can't wait FIVE MORE WEEKS LEFT!

We went to see our friends, Marlene and her fiance, keidi for her baby shower. It was so wonderful to see them! I am so exciting for them having a boy!!! They are going to name after Keidi Jr. How sweet!!! Marlene is looking good and exciting for her moment to come. Her due date is on Jan. 19th. She would gives birth in Florida. She will comes back to NYC after the settle down with the baby and etc. That's understandable! Take your time, sweetie! OHHH, that's right! I saw Ellen who did interpreter for our wedding! We were so happy to see her. She is doing wonderful. I am so glad to see her. I gave her my email. Hopefully, she will keep in touch. It's so wonderful to see her again! It's so blessing from our heart to thank her to do interpret during our wedding! THANK YOU ELLEN! SO MANY THANKS!!

First time to try this out!

Hello Everyone, This is my first time to try it out. Of course, you can see that for sure! Hopefully, this will keep me going to write my expression of life stories. Everyone have the stories on their own. I know in my heart that it is good to expression it out to make them feel better. But not as alway. Most of time, it's helps. I am still learning how to use this. Hopefully, this program or someone who is good with this blog can help me how to works it out and etc. Just give a try then.
