Adventures with The Mother!

While my mom was here for 2 weeks helping us with the baby we did some site seeing. One day we went to San Francisco so she and Ronnee could have that experience. It was col and foggy but still a fun trip. Ronnee just stayed bundled up in her little sling, that she absolutely loves.
And one of the days we took a trip to the beach. We figured we should take Ronnee to the ocean before we move her far away from it. I am sure when she grows up she is going to be mad at us for taking her out of California.

We figured we better make my mom's trip a little fun. Thanks mom for all your help with the packing and most of all for the good company for those 2 weeks. It sure was fun! We need to plan a girls trip!

1 Week old!

We went to the doctor today for a week check up. When we left the hospital Ronnee weighed 7lbs 6oz and today she weighed 8lbs! My baby is an eater! She did so good with all the doctors maneuvering and she didn't pee on the scale either.
I think we are up to 4 times that she has peed or pooped or both while I am changing her diaper. It never happens to Tyler. And the other day right after I got out of the shower and all cleaned up, she pooped through her diaper and all down the front of me. SO LOVELY!
Other then all the pooping she is such a good girl. She sleeps and eats a lot and when she isn't doing one of those she is going to the bathroom.
This has been the best week of our lives and we are loving being parents. Tyler is so cute with her and she already has him wrapped around her finger. She is my little lover girl!

Ronnee Evalene

On Sept 14 we went to the hospital at 7:30am to be induced. Knowing that we were going to the hospital the next day to see have our baby and found out if it was a boy or girl, we did not sleep so good that night and we were up way before our alarms went off. We were so full of excitement and a little fear that we just laid there talking about it. Then finally it was time to go! We got to the hospital and got all checked in and then they hooked me up to an IV and started the Petocin. At around noon I started to feel some contractions getting stronger and at about 1:30 they were getting pretty unbearable so they gave me some medicine through my IV because I couldn't get an epidural because the anesthesiologist was in a C section. So at 3 I was able to get an epidural. I was dilated to a 3 at that time. Man I felt so much better after that. I did good for a few hours and I was slowly dilating then the pressure started. That was horrible!!! I had so much pressure and I had terrible shivers. So they gave me a little bit more medicine through my IV. Then I think around 9 or 10 I started pushing. The doctor got there around 11 and I did one big push and our little one was here! She was born at 11:16 pm and weighed 7lbs 13 oz and was 19.25in long. She has so much dark brown hair that she had to have gotten from Tyler because I had white hair!

We were so surprised that she was a girl because we had been hearing a lot that they thought we were having a boy but it was a good surprise. Tyler and I couldn't be happier. We had to send the Mother in Laws out shopping for little girl clothes because we had only had boy clothes. And there was no way I was going to let my little girl wear boy clothes! Here is her first picture with Daddy.


The new little Ortiz family!
And the other night we were watching baseball so we had to have this little baseball outfit on. She looked like a little boy so I had to put the headband on. Thanks Bailey you are a life saver, people would get her gender confused if you didn't send me those cute headbands! I need to add that the D-Backs beat the Rockies that night! She was good luck in this outfit. Poor daddy and Mimi!

I know this is just a tip of the iceberg with our new little girl but we are loving it. She is such a good sleeper like her mommy and is a good eater, also gets that from her mom! Last night she slept for 4.5 hours. I can handle that!

This week we have had my mom here and Tyler's mom here. We are so grateful for the help! Terri left home today and my mom is staying for another week to help with the baby and help us pack up all our stuff so we can move on Oct 1st.

I will add more pictures later!

She is here!

Ronnee Evalene Ortiz was born on September 14th at 11:16pm. She weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 19.25 in long! She has a full head of dark brown almost black hair, not sure where that came from! She is such a cute little thing and we are loving it. I will post pictures and write more hopefully this weekend.

All my bags are packed....

and I am being induced at 7:30 in the morning so the end is in site. And I am so absolutely completely nervous! I am keeping the positive attitude that everything is going to go smoothly but it is hard to think about the negative.
My mom got here on Saturday and she made me walk forever and then run hills! I was dying needless to say! Also my mom had me doing yoga poses and then we went to the mall and got a massage and had Ice Cream for dinner! And today my mother-in-law got here and we did some more walking and followed that with some spicy Chinese food! So now I think I am tired enough to sleep through the night as long as my nerves don't get the best of me!
So wish me luck and I will keep everyone posted on all the who, what, when!

My parents are in Arkansas for Haley's baptism so my mom has been sending me pictures and I thought I would share. Such cute kiddos and there pony Henry and chickens. And poor little Lincoln and his broken leg. Wish I were there to see you also!




I am home alone! Tyler went to Reno for some meetings and to find us a place to live. We are moving there at the end of the month. So this was a good opportunity to go. I was dilated to a 2 on Tuesday at our doctors appointment, so hopefully the baby will come soon! I have been having some mild contractions but nothing to crazy that makes me think that the baby will be here today. I also have a little bit of a stomach bug. So basically I have been laying around all day. I can't wait for this baby to get here so that I can sleep comfortably. I know I will have a crying baby waking me up when that time comes but at least I will be able to get comfortable easy. If I don't have my baby by my due date I am scheduled to be induced on that day. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!
