Are you two sisters?

You be the Judge, I think these two look an awful lot alike! I don't think there will be any mistaking them as sisters!

Were Home!

Little Jillian Marie is here! All 7 lbs, 1 oz, 19.5 inches of her!

She is sleeping like a champ and eating like every meal is her last=)

We are so happy to have her home and to have her healthy. She went to the doctor on Friday and looked great! She's down to 6lbs 7 oz, which is normal and fine.

I'm recovering well. Looking forward to getting things back to normal, what ever that is!



Becca adores her! She has to always give her kisses, hugs and pats on the head. At times she just needs her little fix and will throw a fit till she can just touch her, then it's off to something else.

Jillian is a great baby. She's a good sleeper and very calm with all the is going on around her. We are so blessed to have this beautiful baby as part of our family. It will be so fun to watch her grow and change. I'm certain, Jilly and Becca are going to be the best of friends.

Bout to be a big sister!

We are getting our things packed and in the morning, bright and early, we will be headed to the hospital to have our sister.

I decided that the name for our new little princess will be Jillian Marie Martinez.

We can't wait to meet her and show her off!

Wish us luck.




















I made these for the girls room. Sisters are the BEST!

BECCA AND JILLY will no doubt be best of friends.

This is why-

Everyone tells you when your pregnant, "make sure you get pictures of your belly". Or, they want to know if your going to have professional portraits taken to capture that moment that you'll never have again. Some days it seems like a good idea and other days I think "HECK NO"!

This is why-

The picture could turn out totally sweet and wonderful, capturing just enough of your belly, without overdoing it, like this...

How sweet is this precious little picture. I love the hands forming the heart around the belly button. Simple and sweet.

But, it could be like this.....

Some weird photographer making you pose in hideous hats and gloves while sitting in a chair with your arms uncomfortably placed in a very unnatural position, all the while thinking that this is a glamours look.

Or, God Forbid something like this happens.....

I mean, who's hands are those? There is just something very disturbing about this shot. Very Alien-esk if you ask me.

So, that's why I'm 3 days from going to the hospital and haven't done anything about it. I'd rather live in ignorant bliss thank you very much!

RUN...Don't Walk

To Bath and Body Works Right Now! These little jems are only $5 for the refill pack of two, how awesome is that! It's a heck of alot cheaper than Glade and they smell ohhh so good. In fact, I think I might need to go back for more! Also worth noting,

These lovely lip glosses are fantastic! The CO Bigelow Line has a yummy mint base that I love! They come in some fun tints for summer too! I've now bought one to have in my purse and at my desk at all times. A girl must never be too far from her lip gloss.

It's a Birthday Thing.

It's been a long few weeks with getting sick and all=( However, we are all on the mend and starting to feel like our old selves again. It's amazing how one cold can touch so many lives. I seriously wanted to take my head off for a few days. Seeing how that isn't possible and pregnant sick women can't take crap for medicine, I layed on the couch for a few days and let my toddler run the house! It worked out. We watched lots of cartoons, read lots of books and took numerous naps. She was my sick side kick.

Now with all that behind us, it's time to cram in some last minute projects before Sissy decides to make her debut.

I went to the doctor and her little head is right in plain sight, so I'm to be on my toes and ready for anything. But, if she decides to just hang out, then on June 10th, we will head into the hospital and have a baby. So weird to have it scheduled. Like it's a hair appointment or something! Which ironically I have scheduled on Friday, so it would be nice to squeeze that in before the big show. I'm sure many of you can understand where I'm coming from on this.

In the mean time my job went full time this week which I think might be a blessing because it's keeping me busy and my mind off of things. In other words, it's forcing me to prioritize and not sit at home and watch episodes of Baby Story and cry every time some woman I don't know give birth! But Ohhhhhhh, how I can't wait to hold this baby girl in my arms.

I'll keep ya posted!
