Memorial Day/Anniversary/Fishing

                                                                                                                                                       

This weekend we had a BIG FISH fishing adventure from Friday PM to Saturday AM.  We had a nice anniversary breakfast at IHOP saturday morning.  Then we had the Air Show @ Jones Beach, Trinny is on the beach snoozing and Tristyn was playing Monster Jam.  For Memorial Day we went to our favorite place by the water, Jeremy's for lunch and ice cream!  It was a very nice LONG Weekend!

2 Weeks Old!

Trinity was 2 weeks old yesterday.  She had her first bath yesterday in her little bathtub and it was so nice out that she got to wear her first little dress!  We went for a walk and took the kids and dog to the park.  She is still having tummy troubles but it is slowly getting better.  Here are a few pictures.

First Doc Apt and 4 Days old

Healthy and happy!  She had her first doc apt yesterday.  She grew about a 1/4 of an inch and I believe she gained about a 1 lb already so she is gaining already.  She needs a little sun but she is doing great.  She is only a little fussy with the introduction of stuffs in the belly, but she is a pretty much carbon copy of Tristyn and is sleeping well so far.....  :)

Trinity's First Photo's

Here she is, our new Angel... I think she is even smaller than Tristyn was, but at this point I can't even imagine him that small! She is SOOOOO cute! 

FINALLY!!!!

We welcomed Miss Trinity Marie Duarte to the Family as of

8:15a Friday Morning May 8, 2009
7 lbs 2.5 oz 20" Long

I was overdue by 3 days

My water broke at 1230a on Friday Morning and we went to the hospital and got there about 2a.
I was admitted about 230 and by 5a I was almost there. It was a very interesting morning. We got
home today about 3 or 4 o'clock. Tristyn was great and all the important people were there.
Currently Rob and Trinity are sleeping together on the bed and Tristyn is transitioning into the baby
being here!
We are still getting settled so I don't have the pics on the puter yet!

40 weeks and 1 day!

Well it's officially 1 day past my due date. According to my baby tracker, I have a 1 day old, lol. Unfortunately we do not. Tristyn keeps asking when OUR baby is going to come?? He is so sweet. As of my appointment yesterday I was just barely 2 cm dilated and other than that still looking ok, just not quite enough. I have a non-stress test and bio (something) profile for 11 on Tuesday of next week which will be 1 week overdue and if nothing goes on from now till next Friday, the 15th, they will induce me on that day.

Altho the predictions are coming in for this weekend by the latest we are still waiting to see. I might have some spicy food this weekend, maybe that will help! :) I guess we will see!

39 Weeks and 2 Days

Well I went to the Doc on Tuesday for my 39 weeks apt and things are pretty much the same.  I was hoping to have more news, but she seems to want to take her time.  Tristyn was the same way, I have yet you decide if that is good or not. :)

I am scheduled for next Tuesday and that will be 40 weeks.  We will do some tests and then decide on an induction date in case she decides she is not going to make her appearance on her own.

The Doc did say that everything is good tho and it may happen at anytime, if she feels she is ready.  The Doc also said that as of now she is about the same size as Tristyn was.  Altho with Tristyn having been born right about now in my pregnancy then, she will prolly be a couple oz more than he was.

Cross your fingers for me!!!

The Mets and Tracy's Birthday

Well it's getting nice and this is what's happened!  I got to go to my first Mets Game at the new Citi Field! Cold but much fun.  Our Friend Tracy's birthday was on the 23rd and we went to Our Summer fun place on the water, Jeremy's Ale House.  It was a lot fun.  Happy Birthday Tracy!

38 Week Apt

Well we are officially 38 weeks and 1 day according to the baby timer above.  I went yesterday for my appointment and everything is well.  Getting a little further along only 2 weeks till the big day!!  I have predications already.  :) 

My boss from work thinks I am going to break my water at work!!!  My friend from work thinks it will be May 7th.  The BFF in WI, Jeni, thinks it will be sometime in May, because it has something to do with warm weather (she is an odd one, ;) love you) and my mom thinks it will be sometime this weekend.  Rob however thinks it will be by next weekend sometime.  I thought at one point it would be before the due of May 5, but I am not totally sure on that one anymore.

The doctor said they will not look to induce until I am over due by about 2 weeks which is fine with me altho I am pretty much at the physically and mentally done point with being pregnant.  :)  But the days just keep getting shorter so I think I can make it!  Of course I will keep you posted!  Now is the fun time!

37 Week Apt

Well again all is well on the baby front.  I had my 37 weeks apt and things look good.  All the tests came back good from the last apt and yesterday everything was just fine.

Nothing to exciting to report as of yet.  Next apt is at 38 weeks. :)

Oh, and the boys are getting ready for the fishing season again.  Oh, boy! Here we go.  Snowboarding has basically came to an end after our WI trip.  Rob had wanted to go another time if he could be it didn't work out simply because of timing and only having one vehicle for about 2/3 weeks.  Now we have 2 again and it looks like fishing is back on!

I hope you all had a very nice Easter.  We went and saw the Easter Car Show and Parade in Garden City and had a very nice dinner with Ed, Mel, Jen and Larry. It was quiet and YUMMY!  :)

35 Week Apt

I had my 35 week appointment Tuesday.  Everything so far is looking good.  She is in position (head down) and my size is on schedule and weight is good.  They did an exam and I had a few tests needing to be run and will have to results at the next apt.  So far everything is right on schedule and looking good.  I don't go back again until the 14th and then it will be every week.  Just waiting at this point!

Baby Shower 3

A big THANK YOU to Tracy her mom and my Mother in Law Marilene for getting everything together for my baby shower.  We went to a great place that Miss Tracy loves called the St. James.  Great food!!!  It was so nice a quiet.  Very cute and decorated!  I am glad tho that all the showers are done now.  It was a lot and now I have a hundred Thank You cards to write!  Lol!  We got great stuff and I am currently getting everything ready now in our 'quarters'.  Almost done and ready to rest for the next few weeks.

Baby Showers 1 & 2

We left for WI on Thursday after work and drove till morning for two baby showers.  We got into WI and at my BFF's house about 12 or so on Friday.  Baby shower number one was in her apartment( pic #1) on Saturday hosted by her and my sister (pic #2)  We had a great time and played fun games and ate good food!  Trinity got a lot of really cute things (pic #3).  Sunday we drove to my moms house in Waukesha and had a little shower for friends and family in that area and had a very nice and relaxing time there (pics #4&5).  The trips never seem long enough and then Monday afternoon we left to drive home.  :(  It was a very nice time and great to see everyone.  Rob got to go snowboarding with Jeni's boyfriend (Mike; aka Pete) on Saturday while we did the shower and then also got to spend some time with the Brother in Law (Sis Mindi's Hubby) on Sunday while we had the other shower at Mom's.  Overall it was a very nice weekend and now I have Baby Shower #3 left here, with My friend Tracy on Sunday.  Then I have a Dr apt on tuesday where they will give me all the info on me, Trinny and the hospital and I will be 35 weeks.  MUAH!
