OK so I am months and months behind on this blogging thing! So much to say so I will try to sum up all the good parts. First of all the biggest news of all wait for it.... WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!!! We are so excited and can't wait for the little one to get here. Due date is Feb. 14th but if all goes as planned a c-section is scheduled for Feb. 7th. We had our 17 weeks visit today and doc said 80% chance it's a girl! I am hoping he's right, but am thinking I might go to one of those 4d places next week to do a gender prediction. I had to wait forever to find out what Maverick was and I really just don't have the patients anymore for not knowing!

We are back in McAllen, well Maverick and I are and Jess is from Friday through Sunday. We are at my mom and dad's house for the time being till we get everything together to purchase our first home! It's a little surreal being back home and having Mave take a bath in the same tub I did and sleep in my old room! I'm working at Stepping Stones Rehab as an almost speech assistant (waiting for my license to arrive so I can be a real assistant! Man the state takes forever on this stuff!!!) My mom is taking care of Maverick and he just loves his Mimi.

With all the craziness of packing and storing and moving I have been way to busy! Now with work starting and an ever growing belly I have even more on my plate! But even through all the exhaustion my favorite part of the day (even the really long work days) is coming home to that little smiling face, the one that says I wove u! That little boy makes me laugh and smile and know it's all worth it. I wish I could bottle all the love I have for him and pass it out to the world. He's amazing!!!

Is it possible?

How is it that my 20 month old son is wearing size 7 boys shoes! This is insanity! He grows out of his shoes within months! I tried and tried to squeeze his little piggies into a toddler size six with no luck and hung my head as I had to take him the box that read BOYS size 7 :( From a toddler to a boy and I have NO say So! This can't be happening! He's not even 2 yet!




Happy 4th Everyone!

Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to all the mommies that love our babies even when they throw a fit (in public), decide not to listen and jump off the couch landing head first, run from you b/c they think it's a fun game, growl at the sound of the words "bedtime", throw dinner mashed potatoes (again b/c that's funny), and wake up ever night at 3 AM just because they can! Happy Mother's day! It really is unconditional love! I wouldn't change one thing about him :)

Sleeping habits and adorable faces!

Who says you have to sleep the traditional way? Future nonconformist!


They should make cribs wider for this guy!


Mimi's are the best!


After a week of being congested I would be kissing my humidifier too!

Spring is in the air

We are midway through spring break already :( The weather has been perfect all but one rainy day and Maverick and I have been able to spend most our time outside. We have had one small hitch in our day with the time change this past weekend, which makes Pony very sad at bedtime. He can't understand why he is going to bed when the sun has not completely set, I don't blame him I'm still not use to it either! Last weekend the De La Rosa crew headed to Austin and we had an amazing time. My brother and sister-in-law got a bran spanking new house and we slept on air mattresses to break the place in. Family, BBQ, and a kite festival, who could ask for more? This coming weekend we head to The Valley!

Ok so he was the only toddler there with his shirt off, besides his cousin who followed suit, but in my defense he had a ton of sun block on and it was hot! Keep Austin weird right? The day was beautiful even after the 40 minute walk from the car!






Our little hiking trip thanks to Uncle Larry :)

Mama (and pointing at me now), it's Hot, Cold, shoes, bye-bye, hi, uh-oh, cook (for cookie or cracker), & Ba (for no more)

February Already?

As I type I can hear Maverick over the monitor just talking away to himself. It' 8:50 and he has been in bed since 8:00 but the last few nights it takes him about an hour to get himself to fall sleep. He doesn't seem to mind because the sound of his own voice is very entertaining to him. He will gab gab gab, then sing sing sing. It is really soothing to me actually, kind of makes me want to take a nap LOL.

I can't believe we are almost done with the first week of February already! School is back in and Jesse's mom and my mom have been oh so kind to be coming every week to help us out with taking care of Maverick. They switch on and off kind of tag-team style. We are oh so grateful! It has been a true blessing having them here to help.

My first exam is coming up next week which means things are back in action full force. I can already envision the late nights with no sleep, not looking forward to that! We are headed to Houston on February 20th for cousin Noah's b-day party, we can't wait.

Next week we are doing a 5k with the local Catholic Church group and we plan to go to build and grow at Lowe's after so Maverick can make mommy her jewelry box, so excited. I also want to get a craft project going so Pony can send out little valentine gifts!

New Dinosaur Pjs and bongo set! He LOVES music!
