Evey and Lily Christmas 2013

Happy Holidays! Its been quite a while since I've posted anything, the girls are doing great and I'm hanging in there.  Looking forward to starting another blog about mid december. I've got a big certification test I need to study for, then I can get back to blogging.  

Pics from this past year

Big girl!

I REALLY need to upload pictures and maybe even a video. Liliana is starting to crawl and sit up on her own! She can go from a sitting position to crawling and vice versa. She is growing up so fast. Same with my Evey, she amazes me everyday with the things she says and does. She's going to be 5 at the end of Sept and I have to admit, I'm happy she has to stay home another year before going to school. Next post I promise to have pictures!

Catching Up

My Liliana is here! 2 1/2 months old and she is amazingly beautiful! Christmas was great, I worked New Years and got my ass handed to me lol. It was a BUSY ass night at work and when I got home my 9 months along cankles were awful! They say how you ring in the new yr is how your year will be, I hope to God not.... busy and exhausted isn't how I want 2011 to be. Liliana Grace was born on January 17th, 2011. She has been such a good baby. I only got a month off of work, I miss my girls every second I'm not with them. Work has been good, I'm trying to be more involved with committees and such. I don't really sleep since I work nights, but I know that it will get better eventually. I'm exclusively pumping and I'm so thankful that everyone at work is so supportive. If I stopped now, Lili would have 3 months worth of breast milk to eat. My goal is to get her to a yr. My inspiration is my bf Amy, she pumped and made it to a yr. She really has been my rock in all this, along with my mom and dad and friends and family. I couldn't do it without them. Evey is getting so big and is the best big sister ever. She loves Liliana so much and helps me out with her little sister. I'm going to take the girls to the Strawberry festival today with Amy and our moms, I got them matching tutu's.... will post pics ltr, until then here are some pics to catch up...

Getting to see Lili in 3D!

The highlight of my week was being able to see Liliana in 3D. Back when I was pregnant with Evey the 3D ultrasounds were about $400, needless to say I didn't have one done. Since then they have drastically declined in price and I was able to have one done! I was so happy Amy was able to go with me, she has been such a great friend throughout everything! I'm so lucky to have her here! Liliana was awake and moving around when we started, then she yawned and decided to get comfy lol. She put her hands up around her head and stayed curled up, she was so adorable I want to hold her already. It was so neat being able to see her grab her feet and cross them. We managed to get a couple of good pictures!

First time Ice Skating!

Evelyn did great her first time ice skating! Her dad took her out on the ice and was hunched over struggling to teach her, I went and asked if they had any of those kid type walkers for the ice and lo and behold they did not. I understand, with so many people on the ice they can get in the way. I use to love to ice skate and its kind of like riding a bike, you get going and it just comes back to you. I was VERY careful and took it extremely slow, if I didn't go out there there is no way she would have done so well.... not just bc of me, but because she had an adult on either side of her to hold her up and give her the opportunity to learn. By the end she could skate a short distance by herself! I was so proud of my big girl!

Halloween

This year we opted to go to Sea World rather than go trick or treating. Both myself and Evelyn's dad D had the day off. We try to do things together when we can for Evey's sake. We have put what has happened in the past behind us and are able to be friends. It makes me sad that some parents have to miss out on their child's life because its the others Holiday to get the child. I understand though that sometimes that is life. Evey had a blast and we avoided all the candy! I know I'm biased bc I'm her mommy but I think she is the cutest Minnie Mouse EVER!
