Chaucer

Well the newest Carvajal is finding this world a little hard to adjust too

He had a little trouble breathing in the begining because the cord was around his neck

when he was born

He spent an hour or so with some extra help

Now we find he prefers a tanning bed to a crib. He is a bit jaundiced but the good news is they now have these "suitcases" (that is what they call it, and indeed that is what it is) so we are able to keep him at home with us. Thank goodness for modern technology !! It is sad because he can really only be out of his suitcase to eat, I am glad it is almost over.

Chaucers home tanning system

We have been checking his billiruben levels everyday and he will be out of the lights by Saturday!!! Hooray!!

Well I am glad that we are able to have him at home where I can nurse him. He is a delightful baby, he rarely crys and is really a pleasure to have in our family.

It went something like this...............

He's Here

Chaucer Wayne Carvajal

Grandma Maggie

Angelo's mother is here for the birth our baby

the kids are loving having Grandma around

she has even got all of them cooking

HAPPY 2008

As a pregnant mother of 3 I felt New Years would be best celebrated at about 8:00pm

The kids had fun drinking sparkling Cider and went to bed chanting

HAPPY NEW YEARS !!

I only stayed awake long enough to celebrate New Years with New York City

We wish everyone a Very Happy 2008

**one more note the newest Carvajal will be born in 2008 which makes a baby in our family in 2002,2004,2006,& 2008

love those even years, don't think 20010 will continue the tradition ( we never know)

Notes on a BIG BELLY

My 32 Week appointment went something like this

Midwife: You are measuring 34 1/2 weeks

Me: Could my due date be wrong?

Midwife: Could be

Me: I have never measured big before

Midwife: Wow the babies head is lodged really far down in your pelvis

Me: Yup

Midwife: How many pushes does it usually take you to deliver

Me: about 5

Midwife: (still pushing on the babies head, ouch) Wow it is really far down

Me: Yes, I know I can feel it ( in truth I have been waddling for a week)

Me: so is my due date off?

Midwife: well you could be measuring big because of excess fluid, but the babies head would probably be more buoyant

Me: OK

What I was thinking: Would you stop pushing on my belly, please. I know the babies head is low I wont give you all the details, but I know!!

Well the long and short is

Pray that I have the baby a little sooner than the due date so that I will actually be able to get the little one out. My belly is all baby and even Angelo says he has never seen it this big.

Here is hoping for number 4 before Angelo's Last semester begins on the 7th of January

( a girl can dream can't she?)

Help

I cannot get videos to load
I am frusterated if you have any tricks please help

I really couldn't ask for a more driven husband. He is a really hard worker and I admire him.

He loves this company ! We both know he will get a job where he needs to be, no worries.

It would be nice for him to get a job with his first choice!!

Happy Anniversary to my Husband

I Love you more each year

Thank You for

Making me Laugh

Making me Smile

Working so Hard for our Future

Loving our Children

Loving me

Encourageing me

We had a great Anniversarry

7 years AmAzinG it has been a flash and an eternity in one ( if that makes any sense)

Baby Belly

3 months 5 months 7 months

I have received requests for belly pics

here they are, careful what you wish for

The kids are so excited they have a little mental countdown, they say:

"Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then THE BABY"

it is really cute

Angelo is apprehensive ( I wouldn't expect anything else from a father/sole provider of almost 4 while trying to Graduate from a University in his second language) but still excited, he thinks its a girl. We all know how he feels about Eme, he would like another one. I am just afraid he will melt completely away if we have another girl.

My Mother is frustrated, she really would like to know the sex of the baby. She wants to start buying things, especially if it is another girl. She is handling it like a champ she rarely mentions it.

I have been great through all the ruff stuff until just recently. I am getting sick a lot and feeling uncomfortable already( too early). I have gained more weight than any other pregnancy and I am measuring big ( about 30 cm at my 28 week visit). The midwives say all of this can be attributed to this being #4, oh well.

I love this stage when you can feel where the baby is and you start to learn a little about their personality. I don't really have any intuition about the sex of the baby. I have always felt more comfortable guessing that the baby is a boy, but I have more experience with having boy babies. I don't feel as though I know for sure.

I am really going to be surprised at the birth, so fun

We have both names picked out so we will be able to greet the baby.
