Pics and other stuff

Here are some pictures of when Shannon and baby Anna came to visit and Tanya and Jack too. Our two sleeping angels in the car on the way home from Zoo Atlanta. They weren't in the car 2 minutes before they passed out. Rayna was so sweet with baby Anna. She just wanted to play with her and love on her. She is going to make a great big sister!

With only four weeks left to go, we have been very busy. Last weekend we took Rayna to the Atlanta Dragway in Commerce to see the races. Even with how loud the cars are, she really liked it. She liked seeing all the different cars. We bought her a stuffed bear and she said that the bear was scared of the cars but not her!

Also my friends here threw me a little baby shower. It was awesome! I love you guys! You guys rock! It's just nice to get together and hang out with friends. It's so nice to have that kind of support here especially when we don't have any family around.

5 More Weeks to Go!

Only 5 more weeks to go!! The count down is on!! I'm starting to get really excited! Not that I haven't been excited about having another baby, but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The other exciting thing is that at the Dr. on Friday he said I am already 1cm dilated. Now I know you can be that way for a long time but for me to be dilated anything at 35 weeks is really exciting. Because with Rayna I wasn't dilated at all at 40 weeks. We had to force her out!

Well we have been really busy over the last couple of weeks with visitors. First my friend Shannon and her 5 month old baby girl came for a visit. It was so much fun spending time with them and getting to see her baby. It was good practice for Rayna to be around a baby. She did really well. She wanted to play with the baby more than anything. She is going to be a good big sister.

Then as I was dropping Shannon off at the airport, I was picking up Tanya (a.k.a. Batman) and her 3 yr old son, Jack. It was really good to get the kids together and to catch up with friends. Whenever we go to MI I never get to spend that much one on one time with my friends because we are always so busy trying to see everyone we can see. And now with two kids, I have no idea when we will make a trip to MI. Everyone is more than welcome to come and visit us!

As soon as I download the camera I will post pics of the visit. I got a really cute one of Rayna and Jack passed out in the car on the way home from the zoo and one of Rayna holding baby Anna

Cute things kids say

I just had to post this because I thought it was so cute. Rayna says funny things all the time. It's hard to keep up with her. Last night I found a photo album with some wedding pictures. I was showing them to her and explaining what was in each photo. There were some of me in my wedding dress, so I was telling her that it was mommy in her pretty wedding dress. And in true fashion that only a 2 1/2 yr old could do, she says, "Oh, mommy was playing dress-up. She looks so pretty. She looks like a princess." Then there was a picture of the guys in their sombreros and I said to her, "Look at daddy and Uncle Schim in their sombreros." In reply, she says, "No mommy, those are hats not sombreros."
I stand corrected!
Randy is working on some videos to post soon. He found a website on-line that you can upload photos to and it will put it into a video. It's pretty cool. So hopefully we can get that uploaded soon for you to enjoy.

Wrong link to blog

Ok, I apologize if I sent you the wrong link to the blog. Hopefully you got here ok. I don't know why it sent you to my sister-in-law's blog. Weird!! It will remain one of those mysteries of the world wide web!
Here is another parenting mystery. Rayna has had an on again/off again fever for the last few days. It seems to creep up at night but she'll be fine during the day. Last night was horrible. She was waking up like every two hours. At one point I wasn't sure if we would be able to calm her down. She was just crying and crying. I'm just glad she is in her big bed now so Randy was able to stay with her. At one point she told us she wanted oatmeal for dinner. It was 4 a.m.! Now today she has been sneezing and a little bit of a running nose but no other symptoms. I hope it is just a little cold. I can't afford to get sick. Every time she gets sick, I get sick. It is no fun being pregnant when you are sick because you can't take anything!!!

Wow! I'm pretty proud of myself. This is the second post in 2 days!!!

New Blog

Here is the new blog for the Gaytan Family. Maybe I will actually keep up with this one, but I can't make any promises. I figured that a new blog would be a good idea to keep everyone updated on our little growing family. This will be a great way to keep in touch with all of our friends and family scattered around the world.

I will update you on the latest and greatest happenings of the Gaytan Family. Most of you know that we are expecting baby number 2 in just a few short weeks, 7 to be exact. This pregnancy has gone pretty good and normal, not as easy as the first time around though. I did have some morning or what I like to call, all-day sickness. But other than that, pretty normal. I think that other thing that makes it harder is that I now have to chase Rayna around all day. That's enough to wear anyone out, pregnant or not!

Well I hope you enjoy the new blog!
