More Pics of Vivi

We have been resting, recovering, and running to the doctor these past few days. Everyone is doing great, just tired. Here are a couple of new pics now that she is a whole 4 days old.

We're Home!

We made it home safe and sound with Vivianne today. We are all exhausted but I wanted to pop on and add a couple more pics for everyone.

Mommy is so happy to have her little girl. Vivi has her daddy's coloring, but her mommy's features. Praise God there weren't any complications; Mommy is fine!

Daddy's little girl! Already Daddy is wrapped around her precious little finger. Look at how happy those blue eyes are.


She's beautiful, healthy, and holds the hearts of all who have had the pleasure of holding her. Also, she's a little snuggler!

Vin's Last Hurrah as an Only Child

Less than 48 hours to go!!

We are in the final countdown before the hatching of baby Vivi, so this Vin's last weekend as an only child.




We took him to a local indoor play land called Monakid's Jungle for one last hurrah.

He had a ton of fun crawling through the tunnels, sliding down the slides, and playing in the ball pit.






He is a nut about naming his colors.
He does it for everything all the time and it usually includes his favorite sound "beeyooo".

This pic sounded something like this:
"Red, beeyooo. Blue, beeyooo."






He is getting better about playing with/near other children too. He enjoyed the company of this little Japanese girl who probably only understood the "beeyooo" portion of his chatter.




Of course he always enjoys his favorite playmate, Daddy...who by the way, he called Robert today!! It was too funny.

The only thing that could get him out of kiddie play land heaven was his favorite snack, popcorn!!

Yes I'm Really Pregnant!

It has been a long time since I posted and about never since I posted big, fat, round, baby belly pics. I figure that since baby Vivi will be making her debut in a mere 7 days I had better post some photographic proof that I am actually her mother. We have scheduled the c-section for Jan 26. The next post I make will most likely be of the new little one and a pale exhausted Mama.

We have been very busy lately preparing for her arrival. There are so many things to do that we've even imported help, Auntie Shannie!! She has been here since Jan 6 and will be staying until Feb 3. It has been great to have the company and the help. She has boundless energy and has become Vincent's new favorite pal.

This past Saturday we went to the Ocean Expo Park. It was a gorgeous day and we walked a lot. I was hoping that it would jump start something inside but no such luck. Baby is going to hang in there as long as possible it seems. Vincent loves looking at all the fish and climbing on their new amazing rope-net playground.

This pic of Rob and I is the calm before the baby storm. We look happy and refreshed. By the end of next week we will look like exhaustedly happy sleep deprived zombies. I'm going to frame this one ASAP to remind myself that the new baby parent coma stage does not last very long at all.

Vincent has grown so much in the past 2.5 years that we can hardly believe it. He is a very smart determined little guy. It should be very interesting to see how he takes to his baby sister.

After 30+ years, I've taken to my baby sister very well. I wish that I could keep her here with me always. I'd forgotten how wonderful it is to have someone so close to you who is almost like an extention of yourself. I know that our whole little family will miss her bunches when she returns to the states. In the meantime she still has 14 more days of diapers to help change!! hee hee
