I'm a Mama!

So I had my precious baby boy 9/11/11 (he wouldn't be my son if he didn't make a big entrance lol) at 3:39am. He was 7 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches long. He came out with a head full of hair and very light skinned. And his full name is Jack Dylan Munguia. When I explain my "labor story" other mothers gasp at how easy I had it. No Pain. No Contractions. No Complications. The only thing that freaked me out was once the nurse told me I was dilated to 10 centimeters I started to get uncontrollable shakes. Had I not been in labor people would have thought I was having a seizure - that bad! They calmed down once the baby arrived.

 



 I may not know what labor pains feel like, but the whole delivery experience is indescribable. I get butterflies when I relive the moments of my baby's first cry and when they laid him on my chest. He melted my heart and has every day since then. It's hard to even find the words to describe how I felt and how I feel every day knowing our baby is here, perfect and beautiful. I love being his mother. He is so precious.






It's funny, when a woman is pregnant there is no real way of finding out what the baby will look like, but in some weird way I couldn't imagine Jack looking any other way. Its like my heart knew. The perfect combination of us.

Being a mother is hands down the best feeling in the world.

He is almost here....

Well, I am 38 weeks and am dilated to 1.7. I am hoping Jack waits at least another week to make his appearance, but my doctor says he can come at any time. It is crazy how fast time has flown by. He is almost here and I am filled with so many emotions right now.

I started to pack my hospital bag last night and already have Jack's outfits picked out...lol. He is going to be the cutest baby ever! I cannot wait to hold him.

Baby showers were a success! Had three total and both Ram and I are so grateful for all the love and support so many family members and friends have shown us. Jack is surrounded by so much love.

6 weeks left!

It amazes me how fast time has flown by. Our little man is almost here and we are so excited! He moves all the time now and I am already used to it. However, his hiccups do get on my nerves....is that awful to say? I'm so in love though. He has stolen my heart in a way no one else ever will. I keep thinking about the first moment we will meet and when they place him in my arms - oh, what a wonderful feeling I get just thinking about it. It has to be ten times better.

I am already forgotten! As soon as I walk through the door the baby gets more attention and he's still in my belly. It is at the point where my 4-year old cousin didn't even invite me to her birthday party this past weekend, ONLY baby Jack was invited. lol. He has no idea how much he is already loved.

Giddy

We are finally moved into our home and settling in great! A little more organizing and unpacking still needs to be done, but it will get done. Some decorating is necessary too and the babies room needs to be set up....I've just been lazy.

My first baby shower was this past weekend and it was lovely. My friends did a great job planning and hosting it. So good that I cried when I walked in....but I loved every minute of it. It was a good turnout and I love my friends for going and being apart of it. :) I did realize that baby Jack is going to be surrounded by girls growing up because most of my friends have daughters....he is going to have so much fun! lol.

33 weeks today...it is going by so fast. 

Living in the moment

This weekend was a bit overwhelming....we are finally moved into our home! Crazy how the home I was raised in as a child, my little one will be raised in too. :) Everything is ready to be unpacked and hopefully I can get some decorating done. The last two days have been normal. Ram and I have lived together before for two years so I guess we are just already comfortable enough that it already feels normal.

I really appreciate my parents for everything they have been doing for us! Love y'all. Also, my grandma, uncle, mom, and sisters for helping clean and unpack Saturday along with my brother helping us move! I already know I was a pain that day....

I am 32 weeks tomorrow and now I am really antsy. We are awaiting your arrival baby Jack! Middle name has still not been chosen. I refuse to leave it as Jack Munguia. I always liked my middle name and since Ram picked Jack then I pretty much get to decide the middle name, but I still would like for Ram to like it. 

I am very excited for this weekend because it is my first baby shower! Love my friends for wanting to throw this for me! Y'all are the best!

Update!

I am 29 weeks today....I can not believe time has flown by so fast. My lil' man is almost ready for his debut! :)

We are hopefully moving into the house by the end of this month/beginning of August. Just depends what Ram's schedule is for his workshops.

Baby shower #1 is at the end of the month! Excited. I love my friends that wanted to do this for me! They are the best.

Baby shower #2 is in works. Still working on trying to find a venue. Need to hurry it is next month!

Baby shower #3 I am not sure will even happen anymore. I will just have to see what my lovely sister Bianca wants to do.

Need to go to the gym more to walk. The heat just makes me not want to go outside at all let alone try to walk for an hour. 

The buying process has begun. My dad already bought my crib and changer for me (love him) and my mom has HER cradle and some cute clothes that will apparently stay with her. She's funny.They will be awesome grandparents!

Ram and I went to Babies-R-Us to update our registry and it was a bad idea giving him the gun! lol He went crazy and started to disagree with me about the things I already had on there!!  It's cute he is excited though and wants to be apart of that process. We bought tiny size 0 shoes for my maternity shoot coming up....they are too adorable!

I am always hungry! :) I am sure I packed on the pounds since my last doctor visit. Guess I will find out on Friday which will also be the day I take my Glucose test. BLAGH!

Baby Jack kicks like crazy now. I could have sworn that when we were watching Sucker Punch he was doing his own little action moves inside my belly at the same time the movie had some! It was crazy. Now I can actually see my belly move. Not to the extreme, but I do notice little pulses. I haven't even met him and already he is the cutest baby ever!

Maui 2011

 Our trip to Maui was amazing! The weather was great too compared to Texas heat! The only thing that was missing was Ram. Wish he could have gone with me and my family, but we can always go again. :) Here are some of the pics I took with my iPhone. There were plenty more I took with my new Olympus PEN....I just have not uploaded them yet.
