Just thinking!

        I am so happy that little Kirra Skye finally came into our lives. I can only imagine what the new parents are feeling. It is so wonderful to become a parent and have kids! ( I really mean that) I couldn't imagine how much they would change our lives as soon as they were born. I would and still always pray that I can be a better mother. It's such a huge responsibility and a growing and learning experience that never stops.

       I see Alison and Braulio so happy for their little girl and it just brings back all those memories of when both Velani and Mia were born and how I didn't want them growing up and just staying like that forever. That feeling you get when they place that baby in your arms for the first time is just so GREAT! I felt so close to my Heavenly Father because I knew that my babies were with him before being sent here and I knew that it was my responsibility to care for and love them. We, as mothers, have "an Eternal partnership with God" and this is something unique and special that only us as women have and that's where that closeness that I felt came from, me knowing how special I am for being a woman and a mother.

     I now love that my girls grew up and are still growing because it's the special things they say and do that makes my love grow for them each and every day. I just think time is going by so fast and that it needs to slow down just a bit so I can have time to accept that they won't stay kids forever. I love being a mom and I'm gonna say it now.....I want to have lots of children as many as I can. I really don't mind that they drive me nuts or make me mad here and there because I still love them and they still make me happier than they do mad.

    I just know that I am happy to be a woman!!

Here's a video about mothers that I just wanted to share by Jeffrey R. Holland that I really loved. Just click on the link and it should start up or copy and paste on the bar. Hope you like it!

It's a BOY!!

I just can't help myself. I am ECSTATIC!! 

We are all very happy and excited for our little guy! I have to admit I am a bit nervous. I have had two girls and I think I can handle them, but a boy? How much different are they?  besides the obvious one? 

The truth is that I felt it was a boy, but kept thinking and saying to my self it was probably a girl. I guess I was just preparing my self. I promise though that if it was a girl, I would have been very excited as well. I love my girls and they are so much fun and there are way cuter stuff for them than boys and I actually wanted to start making my own hair bows. 

Velani wanted a baby brother at first and then changed her mind and stuck with a baby sister 'till she actually found out that it was a boy. She said " I knew it" when the doctor said it was a boy. Mia on the other hand didn't really understand the difference and I'm not sure if she actually knows what a boy is yet even though she is already going around saying "It's a boy". I tried to explain the difference to her by asking her if she wanted a boy like Tony or a girl like Velani and she said " I want a Tony!" So I guess she meant a boy and doesn't actually think we are gonna just take Tony away from his family. 

Thanks for sharing this exciting time with us! We have had a boy name for a while.....because we like to just think of both, girl and boy names, when we find out we are expecting and we've actually had this name since before Mia, but don't know if it will actually be the ONE! it's Adan and it's pronounced like Adam not the biblical name in spanish. For now that's what we will start calling him. Andres suggested another name that I actually liked, but I don't know if we will change. He said Arian. It's very close to being Ariana, but I thought it sounded cute I guess it's like Adrian with out the "D"  I like it!!  ok now I really want to go shopping for boy stuff, especially a cute little tie. 

I will post our sonograms as soon as I get a chance. Oh and by the way I really need y'alls help. I want to change my blog name and I need something cute and unique. So PLEASE help!! Thanks!!
