First Smile~

Oh how she already poses so cute!

And another one. I mean this girl is something else.

She just loves her play mat that Julie bought her. She sits there and just stares at herself in the big mirror, then it's almost as if she is already trying to reach out and grab the toys hanging. I know she is only 3 1/2 weeks, but she really is going after something!

Today was Jaelyn's first smile (that was on purpose) On SAt. March 6, 2010 I was kissing on her hands and she looked right at me and smiled with a purpose! I know it was intentional and not just gas. It was one of the greatest moments since she was born! I can't wait for more to come!

Real Tears

Today 2/25/2010 was our 2 week check up with Dr. Geutersloh. She did so good. Even when they had to prick her heel for the blood test she didn't even cry. She just wrinkled her forhead. However, when we had to undress her to weigh and measure her, she decided to let the crying begin. She finally made her crying seem more real to me and had her first TEARS! Oh it made me just want to hold her until she felt all safe in mommy's arms. It just broke my heart to see those big tears come out of her little eyes.

At the check up she is up to 6lbs 12 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She is in the bottom 10% for her weight but the top 50% for length. She will get there on the weight. We had to switch her formula this weekend to Sensitive so she could eat a little more and not be so gassy and fussy. This one seems to be working great. She is up to eating almost 3 oz every 3-4 hours. YEAH JAEYLYN!!!

She is just too cute all dolled up to see her Pediatrician!

Here we are at 10 days old. She just loved getting dressed up for no reason and no where to go! haha We still aren't leaving the house yet, so why not have a little fun inside! Isn't she just a doll!





Look at those big blue eyes!










Ahhhh I look good in pink and brown! Or any color for that matter!


















Just waiting for the photo shoot to get started!

My mom took such great care of us the first week we were home. She took Lola and Lucy for their walks, which they appreciated very much! She did all our laundry, cooked home cooked meals, helped me take care of Jaelyn and we loved every minute of it. We can't wait for her to come back!








Just thinking.....
I wonder what she is thinking! Probably about how much she loves her mom and dad!
















Ohhh it's a hard life.












Tummy time with daddy!



















Miss Jaelyn has already learned how to say her prayers!
She is so thankful!

Our first outing to our Pediatritians appt. Healthy as can be!



















Getting ready to leave the hospital to finally head home. Can't wait to meet Lola and Lucy!












We had a big snow storm hit while we were in the hospital. What a beautiful surprise to come home to!











Daddy and me getting all set up to ride in the car for the first time. I look so small but I am a big 6lbs 1 oz by the time I left the hospital!



















Me in my big car seat!

Miss Jaelyn's BIG Debut!

So on February 10, 2010 at 1:00am my water broke as I was letting out one of our dogs to potty. Not being ready to go to the hospital since little Jaelyn decided to come 12 days early, we scrambled around the house trying to figure out what all we needed to take with us. We arrived at Baylor of Frisco by 2:15am and the contractions had started. Epidural by 3:15 am and pushing began by 5:30am. At 6:37 am Miss Jaelyn Ashley Martinez makes her big debut! She was a whopping 6lbs 10oz. 19 1/4 inches long! She was absolutely perfect. The labor was a breeze. I would do it all again in a heartbeat!

I just can't express the joy and love I had when I got to finally hold her! I am so glad she came early, I could hardly wait any longer!

Daddy getting to hold her after she put her foot prints on his chest and he got to cut her umbilical cord. He was over joyed with his new daughter!

Our little angel just minutes old.

Mommy and Jaelyn.

Baby Shower #3 (work)

Today my co workers threw me a baby shower. It was great! We got lots of wonderful stuff I can't wait to take home and get all set out and ready for Jaelyn! Everyone was so sweet and we played fun games, even though some of us were die hard players! haha it was fun!








The cake from Celebrity Bakery was so good! I think I gained yet another 5 lbs this week! Ugh! It's going to be tough losing this baby weight. This picture makes me think I just had work done on my teeth and my mouth is still swollen! haha Oh well, I enjoyed every minute of my pregnancy! I guess it shows. Just trying to make a healthy baby! :)












Lots of great gifts!













The too cute cake!















Unwrapping all the good things we needed. Jaelyn is going to be well dressed and spoiled rotten!
