MY ANGELS

This is them. Both of them the same age roughly within days of each other. Almost the same smile. They has such similar features. I mean obviously since they are from the same parents, lol, but still it's a little uncanny how much I think they look alike. Maybe it's just me!!!! :) Ha ha.

7 Weeks Tomorrow

She is doing great! Very happy for the most part. She has been laughing and smiling a lot. But all of her own volition. Every once in a while you can tell its because of something we do to her or from us smiling and talking to her. She is sleeping for pretty much 6 hours a night and takes at least one really long nap during the day with a few short cat like naps randomly. Sometimes its two really big naps, depending. She seems to follow Tristyns patterns for the most part. I am snapping pictures all the time trying to catch the smiles. As you can see we caught one and she loves to stick out her tongue too! All the time, it's really very cute. Tristyn is starting to want to help, feeding her when she gets a bottle and asks to hold her every once in a while. But as you can see still wants to play and be a boy!

A Few More Photos

His friends in the classroom and then at lunch.

The Big GRADUATE!

Tristyn graduated from PreSchool yesterday afternoon.  They sang songs for us, got a diploma and had some treats for afterwards.  The last song they sang was for Fathers day.  Very very cute.  Tristyn was cute.  As always a little distracted and not paying total attention but hey, we have gotten very used to that!  After the graduation we hung out in the classroom, attempted to take pictures of the kids and then Tristyn's group of friends and us went to Eleanor Rigby's for lunch.  We were going to head to the park after, but it rained a little and then Daddy came home so we had other stuffs to do!  Now this summer we get ready for Kindergarten.  He has a few things to work on.  He has to learn his phone number, address and how to write and spell his last name.  He has his first name down pat!  We also have to work on identifying all the ABC's and numbers in order 11-20.  He has improved SOOOO much since the beginning of the year.  We have a fun summer ahead of us!

Tristyn's Teachers- Mrs Goran, Mrs. Lascla (prek teacher), Mrs Cantapano.

First Photo Shoot! Not Happy! :(

We took Trinity's first pictures this weekend at one month old.  She was not happy!  She has been having some issues still, tummy and now her mouth.  We also found out she is allergic to Johnson & Johnson, so we had to buy something else for her.  She cried most of the time but we got some cute pics of her and Tristyn and Tristyn is a ham!  More of these to come, on a not so fussy day.  :)

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!
