1 Month & Bath Time

I am late posting this but Hazyl turned 1 month old on March 8th. It is crazy how time flies but it has been so much fun! She is an amazing baby! At her 2 week apt she weighed 8lbs and 5 oz and was 20.5 inches long. I cant wait to see what she weighs at her 2 month appt. She is such a chunk and I love it! I could kiss her cheeks all day long. Here are some facts about Hazy...

• She loves her sleep, she only wakes up once at night around 4:30!
• She loves her binkie or her "B" as we call it.
• She gets the hiccups at least 5 times a day and it drives her and mom crazy!
• She poops when she sneezes, it is so funny!
• She loves the car and her car seat.
• She loves her bath (pics below of her first bath in the tub) but she hates getting lotion on after.
• She is full of smiles especially after she wakes up.
• She loves the lights from the TV (that could be trouble when she gets older!)
• She loves the sound of a fan or running water, it calms her right down.
• She loves to be swaddled tight but ends up sleeping with both arms above her head.
• She is the best baby a mom could ask for!

We love her so much and are so grateful she is a part of our family!

Its Official

We got a new car and I think it officially makes me a mom!

What's next? Mommy haircut?... still debating!

Happy Birthday!

So here it goes... It all started on Friday, the 5th. We had a dr. appt. and found out that I was dialated to a three and 90% effaced so the dr said he would enduce me on monday. So we got to the hospital at 8:30 am and they started me on pitocin around 9:30. I was doing pretty good until my water broke and then it started to get realy painful. So i asked for the epidural and about an hour later (it felt much longer) the anesthesiologist came in and I was super nervous but it was a piece of cake! Then the Dr. came in and checked me and I was at a 5 and he noticed that the baby was posterior so he had me lay completely on one side and then switch sides every 30 min to try to get her to turn over. After a few hours of that I noticed that my bed was really wet on one side and we found a cord unplugged. So we paged the nurse and she came in and it was my epidural iv that was supposed to be dripping the numbing fluid into my body. I could then feel my toes and legs and started feeling contractions. I started freaking out because the nurse also said I was dilated to a 9 and we were going to start pushing soon. So they plugged it back in and I pushed the button like 3 times and it kicked in and I didn't feel a thing, thank goodness! Then after 2 hours of pushing our little baby girl was born. I have never been so tired in my entire life! The hospital stay was ok, but it feels so much better to be home and start learning how to be a Mom. It is amazing to me how much you love this little thing so much and so fast. You would do anything for them no matter how tired and how stressed out you are. She is so amazing and I am so in love with her. She has been doing really well. We took her to the pediatrician the other day to double check her jaundice levels and she doesn't have it so that is good but they had to prick her little heel to get a blood sample and it was the worst thing ever. She screamed and I bawled! But she is almost back to her birth weight so that is good, she is so chubby! We are all doing really well and everybody has been so helpful! Here are some pics, sorry they are in a weird order but I dont feel like fixing it!

In her swing, she doesn't really like it though.

Thats my chubby girl!

Meeting Mom!

She already has Jeff wrapped around her little finger. He has been so amazing with her and so helpful. He had to go back to work yesterday and it was tough but we made it through. He is the only one who can swaddle her like she likes it! Mommy needs to learn how to do it like him!

Our little Valentine! Best Valentines day present ever!

Hazyl Mae Franco

She is here! Sorry it has taken so long to get this on here but we have been a little busy. Hazyl was born on Monday, February 8th, 2010 at 6:08pm. She weighs 8lbs and 1oz and is 18 inches long. She is chubby and short! She has lots of hair but it is not as dark as we thought it would be. This is probably the hardest thing I have ever done but definitely so worth it. We are so happy to be home with our little girl. Things are busy so that is all I am going to post for now but I will post again with the whole story and more pics but for now here is our cute little fam...

(thanks for the pics Brooke, you are amazing!)

35/35

Today I am officially 35 weeks along and I have 35 days left! I am so excited for this little one to be here. I feel like I have been pregnant forever but at the same time it has gone by fast and has been a good pregnancy I think. I had a Dr. appt. yesterday and everything is looking good... she is in the right position, measuring right on, and her heart beat was great too. I am starting to get anxious and kinda stressed out about how this is all going to work since I have never done this before. I know everything will go just fine but still not knowing exactly what I am doing really scares me. But I have great friends and fam to help out and get good advice from. I still feel like we have so much to do in 5 short weeks but I'm sure it will be ok. Below are a few pics of her nursery, we still have to put up the window treatment and get blinds and a few other details but for the most part it is done. And as far as belly pics... Sorry I haven't quite embraced the bump so you will just have to see it in person! All in all we are so excited for this little girl to join our family. Im sure it will be hard but she will be such a blessing and we cant wait to meet her!

"Just Because"

Yesterday Jeff brought me these... 

Just Because he "loves me and knows gerber daisies are my favorite."

And yesterday Jeff bought Hazyl this...

Just Because he thought "she would look cute in it!"

He is the sweetest guy ever! He is going to be the best Daddy and I am so excited to watch him with her. He just better watch out cause if she is anything like her Mommy, "she will look cute" in so many pairs of shoes and Daddy will go broke! Love you Jeff!

22 weeks

Last week we got to have another ultra sound to check all of Hazyl's parts and pieces. It was so fun to see her move and squirm. The ultra sound went great and the Dr. said she is a healthy little girl.  She weighs 15 oz right now but I know there is a lot more to come. Here are some pics from the Ultra sound below.

This is the best profile pic we could get. She was laying with her arms over her face so it didn't work so well.

Cute little toes!

And her cute little hand with a "thumbs up".

We cannot wait for her to be here even though we still have a while. Her nursery is underway but I recently just changed my mind about it and am going in a totally different direction than what I was originally planning to do. It is gonna be SO cute and I will post pics as soon as it is done.
