Peanut butter or lotion?

Which one do you think will get this out of Maggie's hair.

Morgan's Heart

I took Morgan to the heart doctor yesterday. (Following up from birth. She was born with a small hole in her heart. It's called a VSD -Ventricular septal defect.) The doctor listened to her heart for 5 whole minutes. I thought something was wrong, but no. He said he just wanted to be sure, but he didn't hear the murmur. The hole in her heart has already closed! :) YEAH! I had to go to the regular doc today and she double checked Morgan. She also did not hear the murmur. Both the cardiologist and the regular pediatrician were surprised that the hole has closed so soon. (They usually close by the time the baby is 2 years old. The cardiologist said he hadn't seen this type of hole close so quickly.) So this is great news! And by the way, she weighs 11 pounds, 8 ounces.

Here is a link about VSD if you're interested in learning more about it.

Mason turns five!

Today is Mason's fifth birthday. We had a party for him on Sunday with his friends and Guamanian step-siblings. Mason was very excited that the TV show Wipeout decided to air their season finale especially for his birthday.

Smiley Morgan

Finally a happy Morgan

We finally figured out that Morgan has acid reflux. Our doctor
precsribed Prevacid antacid medication. Now she is a happy camper
after eating instead of crying in pain. For the most part the babies
are sleeping through the night now.

Dad's labor day dessert

This is the dessert I made for our labor day BBQ at the Villagomez's. I had to look up on the Internet how to suspend the fruit in the middle of the Jello. I put strawberries and blue berries in it and vanilla yogurt on top.

No wonder my skin felt like it was going to rip open.

Here's the bare belly version...

This was taken the day before I delivered - 35 weeks, 5 days

Look how loving he looks. So precious.
