My Babies!

How cute is that?

Amelia Jane Peralta

Well, she's here! She was born on Aug. 15th at 7:56 a.m. by c-section. She weighed 7 lb. 5 oz. and 20 and 3/4 in. long. The bad news is that she has been in the N.I.C.U. since she was born. I don't have time to go into details right now, but there were breathing problems, apnea problems, and infection problems. She is improving little by little. I have been spending most my time in the NICU everyday for her feedings. It's been extremely hard since I'm still trying to recover. I got out of the hospital on Monday the 18th. Things are going ok with me, I'm still in a deal of pain, so I'm trying to make sure I don't over do it. The doctor seems hopeful that we will be able to take her home this coming Sunday. We are crossing our fingers that our family will be all together again. Thanks for all the support, love and prayers. We appreciate everything. Continue to keep us in your prayers. We love you all . I gotta go back to the NICU right now. Take care. I'll post more when she's home.

P.S. She's all Mike!

Flashback!

Is that halloween picture funny or what?

I'm still here!

I haven't been blogging a lot because I'm lazy! I'll start blogging again after the baby when I'm not fat or bloated. That's the plan, Stan! Don't give up on me!

Happy Birthday Angelina!

My niece, Angelina, had her big Sweet 16 party. It was really fun. This is Mike and his sisters (we were missing one). The cousins all had a blast. So did dad and Zoe on the dance floor.

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!

Yes people, I gave into peer pressure and found out. (Actually, Mike wanted to find out) so anyhoo, that's the news. She's very active. She throws a little party in my stomach almost every night at around 2:00 a.m.
It's not like I can turn down the invitation, so I'm pretty much screwed when it comes to sleep. I should charge her rent. Her allowance will go straight back to me when she's older. Backpay! I like the idea. Anyway, love you all.

Out and About!

We took the kids to the California Science Center and Aerospace Museum downtown and they loved it. They have really cool things there. The other great thing is that it's free. This is Zoe climbing the rock wall there. Look at my baby go!








Then we took them to them to the Skirball Center to see the brand new Noah's Ark exhibit. This place seriously rocks. All the animals are made out of recycled products. it was so much fun to try to figure out what everything was made out of. A lot of the animals we were second guessing because we couldn't figure out what they were made of until we looked close up. The best part was that the kids can touch everything! It's all hands-on. They had this kiwi bird made out of a boxing glove, an oil can and all different kinds of things. It was cool. They had all these things for the kids to do inside the ark, I can't even begin to tell you.

The kids loved putting the animals on two by two. You could place them on and use a rope pulley to make them go up the ramp and onto the ark. (This was Dall's favorite. He spent most of the time at this section.)
