Ashley Samantha

My sweet Ashley is two months old.  I cannot believe how time flies by!  We have been enjoying our new little angel and often wonder what we did without her.  Mercedes is still great with her and loves her so much.  She says "mom where baby?" whenever we are away from home and Ashley is not in my arms.  She's such a good baby.  She falls asleep around 10:30 or 11:00 and wakes up around 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning to eat, then sleeps until about 9:30 or 10:00.  She is a lot more fussy then Mercedes was but I don't mind at all.  She is just as sweet and beautiful. 

Ashley Samantha Fausett

My sweeet baby Ashley arrived January 19th, 2010.  She weighed 6 lbs and 14 oz. and 19 inches long and has a full head of beautiful brown hair.  Her eyes are starting to clear up and we can see now that they are GORGEOUS and brown of course;)  Gotta love that hispanic bloodline.  It was a very long day for me but happily it ended great!  All I can say is thank God for the person who invented epidurals!  Although it didn't work as well as the first time it sure did help.  My little angel took her sweet time and arrived at 8:47 pm.

Mercedes is crazy about Ashley and extremely protective.  I love it!  Ashley is her baby and when anyone is holding her she says "mine", or "my baby".  It's actually pretty cute.  Mercedes has turned into a beast!  I guess that comes with the age since she'll be in the terrible twos next month.  She throws fits, talks back, and spends a LOT of time in the corner.  Kids....  We've begun the potty training process and it's not going to be easy.  She'll do great one day and then the next she will refuse!  Oy.....She is so beautiful though.  And she is very smart:)

Mike and I are doing great.  Just trying to keep up with the munchkins.  Sometimes they gang up on us but as long as we stick together......I think we can win!

Almost baby time!

I have to admit I have been back on facebook and abandoned the blog again.  Well we have three weeks until baby is due and couldn't be more anxious and excited.  I am a little nervous about labor but oh well.  She's gotta come out some how right? 
Mercedes is so cute and rubs my belly and says "hi sissy".  it is my most favorite thing lately.  She is also turning into a terror.  I suppose it comes with the age.  She will be two in March.  She is funny though.  Anyone kissing on TV or anywhere and she goes "eww..gross".  I love it! 
Well we are just sitting around waiting for baby and not much else.  I try to get as much rest as possible but that is sort of impossible with an almost two year old, and husband and being as big as a hippo.    Okay well, here's to hoping for a fast easy delivery and as short a stay in the hospital as possible!

13 weeks to go...

Last tri and I'm starting to count down weeks until our baby is due.  I can hardly wait to see her.  Mike asked me what I was going to do with my last few weeks of freedom....lol!  After you have one kid whats a few more?  Anyways, I can't wait to have two girls and I'm sooo anxious to hold a new baby I can hardly stand it!  Well I get a 3D ultrasound done on Tuesday so I'll have to post it.  Until next week and I'm bored again!

Ooops....missed a few months

Hi Friends. I have to say I haven't been all that busy. I have been cleaning and getting ready for baby but really if I wanted to I could keep up with this blog. So we'll try to be better. Haven't been up to much lately, just chasing Mercedes around and having a blast doing it. She is so much fun. My favorite thing lately is when she lip signs and plays air guitar. SOO funny. She LOVES music and points to the stereo and says "dance, dance". I love it.

I am now in my seventh month of pregnancy. I am due at the end of January... and that seems so far away but I know its only a matter of time and I really won't have much time at all to brag about! We haven't picked a name but have a few in mind. Probably we'll end up deciding when we see her what her name is for sure. Oh yeah! It's another girl:) YAY! I'm so excited about having another girl. I love babies! And very active 1 and a half year olds;).

Well not much else going on. Mike has been working and being a dad and husband. I don't know what he's going to do when he lives with three women. he he he....poor guy.

I had a brief encounter with facebook which is probably the reason I didn't do anything with the blog. I might get back one and I might not...haven't yet decided. For now we'll just keep the steady old blog going..

Here are a few updated pictures of my princess! :)

A new baby!! YAY!!

Hi Everyone! Its still June and I'm doing another post! I'm so proud of myself. Kidding. Well it is finally happening. Mercedes is getting a sibling. We found out on Saturday and couldn't be more thrilled. It was a bit of a shock but not completely. We are so excited. We will find out for sure when we are due on Monday. Here are some pictures of Mike and Mercedes and Taft at the ocean and here is one I absolutely love of me and my sweet sweet Mercules. I'll be posting soon. Gotta love pregnancy. I forgot about nausea and tiredness. Maybe that is why pregancy is so long..so you forget! :)

First of June and it's raining

Hi anyone who still reads this boring blog. I've been keeping busy as everyone else has and I began to think 'hey, I can do something fun like update my blog once in awhile so people don't get bored of me'. But good grief I get bored of myself! So I'll try to be better.

We just got home from Long Beach (thanks Staci and Trent for putting up with us). It was so much fun! We got to go to Sea World (a little immature I know but it has been a lifelong dream of mine), the ocean (LOVE the ocean) and we just got to hang out which believe it or not is one of my favorite parts of a vacation. I read a book! I did! It has been a long time since I read a book without feeling guilty about it. It was a good one too. A new one by Mary Higgins Clark called 'where are you now'. I recommend it. I love mysteries.

And last weekend we went camping. It was a lot of fun and I just love the great outdoors. Seriously. It is hard for me to sleep in a tent but since we got to stay with Sam and DJ in thier fancy camper it was GREAT! There was one person there (who shall remain nameless) who I could have done without BUT....sometimes you can't have everything. My only thought is...'what the heck is she thinking'. I've labeled them beauty and the beast. Although this beast will always be a beast. I see no hope of him being a prince. I just wish he'd go away... Oh well..

Anyways!!! Mike and I are doing great. He's been playing Titan Quest with his brothers. Which is fine I guess. He don't go to bars or clubs or play golf or anything like that. And he seems to have it under control for now. He is a doll though...ooooohhh so CUTE! My husband is HOT! I have been gardening. I'll have to take some pics soon before they all die! I'll post those soon. And I need to get a baby blanket done to send to my friend before her kid is too old for blankets! (sorry Mel) Mercedes has been fighting an ear infection. She is fine then she isn't. Poor baby. She is still super funny though. She LOVES spongebob. Refuses to put on pants and shoes and of course takes out her ponytails and hair bows. Gotta love her. I need to get her off the cartoons. According to experts she shouldn't even be watching TV until she's two! Well those experts have never had to do laundry with a VERY active 15 month old.

Well there is a recap of our lives. Nothing too exciting thank goodness. :)
