So sad!! Not a way to die, to fast, to furious. RIP Paul Walker..

Holidays, or Holy Days????

What are really holidays these days??? All have come down to shopping and showing off the best of u closet. But is it really all about that???? I grew in a family where religion was resumed into going to church on Saturdays night, and, even we weren't as devoted as we were supposed to, one thing my mother made sure was for us to understand that Holidays are Holy Days, days that u have to give the true meaning of why they were being celebrated, specially if they are related to God. I went to the crucifixion recreation, I was even part of the cast at some point!! I was one of those kids that believed in Santa Claus and the three kings, tooth fairy, I used to put cookies and milk and some grass for the king's animal waiting for a Barbie that never came (I wasn't so bad of a kid, I promise, but I guess the did not have enough money to give all the wishes to every kid, ;), I threw my recent pulled teeth to the ceiling and ask for a new one back TO A MOUSE. I believed in all that and it was a very happy childhood, but, now that I have a daughter that probably will know how to use a computer by 4 or 6, who knows, and will know that all that is no true faster than I would wish, how can I make her childhood as naive as mine, so that she doesn't grow to fast on us??? I already started by reading her about baby Jesus and how he came to this word to save us. Is a step out of so many I hope to give to accomplish what a want, and that is the happiest childhood for my daughter. I just pray to God to guide us every step of the way and to teach her, out of our own personal experiences, the best. So yes, I celebrate Holy Days together with Holidays (I like to look good ;)... Happy belated Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New year!!!!!!!!!!

Loosing weight after pregnancy journal.

So that you  have an idea: pre pregnancy weight was 130, gained 26 (156 total), 1 month after delivery my weight was 138, went down to 135, 4 and 1/2 mo after I'm 140. How did that happened??? No idea (I was eating lots of good things with no control whatsoever), but I'm going down!!!!! I started to move my behind today. I'll post pics but not today since I still feel very conscious about my belly weight more than anything. I must say, Youtube has very good videos to exercise, this is the video I used today from +FitnessBlender  and since is been so long that I don't exercise I was dying but it felt good.. This specific routine requires lots of strength but littler equipment. Pray for me so I get to my goal of loosing 15 pound in at least 2 months. I know, I know!! Holidays and delicious food, but I'll try my best to behave.

Special Cakes by Biagio Fortunato.

These are some of the amazing cakes my husband makes. They are all hand made. I just wanted to share his talent with everyone!! Sorry if some of the images are wrong sided.

Changes!!!!!

These past 4 months have been glorious!!! Ups and downs like crazy, still adjusting to our new role as parents. Here a lil resume of our journey so far from trying to conceive till today.
Beginning with infertility and going through the whole procedure of invitro, getting pregnant, bed rest from 5th month til birth witch it was c section, healthy 7.3 lbs baby girl who is 16 lbs at this moment.  Very blessed and thankful to God.
Now, some of the challenge: no sleep, not working (very happy as a full time mommy, but a missing income makes it more challenging), trying to figure baby's needs, breast feeding, weight, and so on.

The truth??? I wouldn't change a bit, love this new life we have and we are ready to overcome any challenge that it brings with it.

Baby essentials!!

When I was planning my baby shower I had the tedious task of choosing what I wanted for my baby and ended up with things I don't really needed. Here a practical list of things I found very essential when making a baby shower gifts list

1. Crib, the mattress and sheets for it, I don't recommend to list a bassinet since baby barely use it (three months max if baby is born regular size and weight witch is about 7 lbs).
2. Changing table, very practical since u have everything u need close without the need of letting baby alone. I recommend to have clothes ready on top of it after shower to make it easy and quick.
3. Bathtub. Now they make it with a seat inside, very practical to keep baby in place. Also in this area shampoo and soap, do not ask or buy separate, is easier to just soap the baby head to toe without changing bottle, and when asking for shampoo, lotion I found Aveeno baby line better than Johnson.
4. Towels, at least three.
5. Clothes, try to avoid newborn, unless u baby is premature, babies grow very fast and newborn clothes are useful only a week or two. Make sure u get night gowns, short sleeve and long sleeves bodysuits, socks, hats and gloves for first weeks.
6. Of course diapers, cream and wipes, trash can and diaper bag. Don't go crazy on cream, pure white petroleum jelly will do it and a regular trash can too (Got the genie elite and it broke). Diaper u will have to explore yourself to find the brand u like best, so far I tried Pampers and Huggies liking pampers better, a bit more expensive but worthy 4 me. With the wipes I only tried Pampers and still use it. I do not recommend fabric diapers unless u are very ecology forward and don't get me wrong is just that cleaning pup and pee all day is enough, imagine having to wash it.
7. Some furniture 4 the nursery beside the crib, like a dresser and closet to keep everything neat and organized.
8. Other things like a car seat and stroller. I cant live without those. I use a City Mini Jogger that closes very easy and a Graco car seat.
9. Some toys, teething ones are best 4 my lil one now since they are starting to come out.
10. Grooming kit that includes nail clipper, filer, thermometer, that thing to clean the nose, brush and comb.
11. Camera, even if u apartment is small like mine. I'm in d kitchen and I can see what's happening in baby's room.
12. Don't go crazy on shoes either, now they sell socks that look like shoes, more practical and less expensive taking in consideration that they loose the shoes very easily. 
13. Feeding utensils like Avant, Dr. brown or tommee tippe bottles, soft tip spoons and one or two bowls to begin. Do not buy stem sterilizer, I  don't find that sterilize as good as soaking the utensils in boiling water for a couple of minutes. Breast pump is a must if u pretend to breast feed and work, Medela is d best!!
14. Play yard u can use as a bed if u need to travel with baby, bouncer, eating chair, lots of bibs, burp and wash cloths.

There might be other things u'll need fro sure but right now these things are the ones coming in mind. Remember to ask for the most expensive things on the baby shower to help u pocket ;)

Also remember that cash, cks and gift cards are very useful if someone don't know what to give, u may end up opening a bank account 4 u lil one.
