Well…thanks once again for visiting my Blog once again, as you can tell I made some changes…I wanted to give my Blog a broader range of topics that I can share…and as you can see I decided to place some ads…like everyone else…a little extra income is a welcome in my household…which brings me to my topic.
I wanted to let everyone know that I have a new addition to my family...baby girl…I am truly excited. I have a 7 year old boy…wonderful boy and now we are graced with a beautiful girl…so I get to cover this topic and share my experiences so far…I think you’ll find them funny, similar to what you might have or are experiencing and well…maybe insightful.
Now, you have to think it has been 7 years since I have changed diapers, prepared bottle, and well the sleepless nights…which means I am much older…now not to say my age, but as parents we started our family late in life…and I have noticed that these sleepless nights are seriously taking a toll on my body and mind…7 years ago I was a bit more energetic and could handle it much better, but today…I would gladly pay for 1 complete night of sleep...lol.
Well, so here we go…daughter born 2/13/09 at 3:11am…and watching her come out into the world once again brought tears to my eyes, and bless my wife for she is one tough woman…and did it the natural” way. So, we get home, start all over with bottles, warmers, diapers, blankies, burping cloths…and little clothes…which till this day I still find difficult to put on a new born…lol, but my whole household is cluttered with my daughters things…I think she took over…lol.
Well, one thing that was different this time around was the prepared dinners we received from neighbors, and friends I honestly never heard of such a thing…I was told that it is a tradition…well…being Hispanic…I know for sure that isn’t a Hispanic tradition…but no matter…the gestures was overwhelming and we are so grateful…because truly it helped out a lot during the first week, not having to worry about preparing dinner. Well, of course as many of you already know, every child is different…and so far my girl is different…she is a lot fussier, and eats more than my first child. We are also not as conscience about not making noise, we learned from our first that let her sleep with the vacuum cleaner running and TV on, so she learns to sleep through noises…did not do that with my first…and well any little noise would wake him up…anyhow. Also, my wife did not work with our first son…so she had a lot of time to rest while the baby slept and of course the days were more of going to the park, play dates, etc. of course she now works…so that interaction of them two alone is gone, but we will try our best to bring her up in her early years the same way we did our son. So there are little things here and there we do differently, but in the long run we will try and raise her similar…ok..well you know what I mean.
I do intend to post more…and this is more intend towards adults about adult things…well…you know. I am thinking about writing some short stories…I am finding that blogging is a lot more fun that I first thought…and best of all I get to share with you…we’ll cover some of the older topics I had posted earlier…I do want to get back on some of those issues. Thanks for reading and please come back often.
