On October 25th, 2010 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She weighed 7 pounds and 3 ounces and was 20 inches long. Her name is Faviola Elena.
Now the birth was kinda krazy. I was scheduled for a c-section on that day but I was to check in at 11am and have the procedure done at 2pm. Well here is the krazy part at 6 am I start to have contractions and they feel pretty intense. i just kinda brushed them off and then got worried when they were about 5 minutes apart. I got in the shower and headed to my mom's to drop off Lily. This was about 8am or so. I got to the hospital and told them I was having contractions and they were about 5 minutes apart.
I got taken to the triage part of the birthing center and got hooked up to the machine to measure the contractions. Then I was checked to see how far dilated I was. I was at a 5 already in just those two short hours. I was then prepped for surgery and the whole process didn't even take that long before I knew it I heard the sweet sounds of crying and I knew my baby was born.
I was very excited to meet my new baby girl and happy she was healthy. We spent the next couple of days at the hospital as I had to recover from my surgery. I do have to admit I really enjoyed my stay there as I was the one being taken care of for a change.
Once I got home reality hit me hard. I returned to the stress of the kids and significant other. Sure it was ok the first couple of days then it was the same ol shit that I dread everyday. I know I should be happy but I am not. My kids and SO are unappreciative and they make feel horrible all the time. If I have any type of "feeling" I am told I am childish that is not what I want and I feel stuck. I don't know what to do any more and I am starting to just give up, maybe it's the postpartum depression talking, but what was the excuse before I gave birth. I still feel the same way. Maybe it will be easier not to feel so I won't let them get to me.
On a different note, I am very happy about my baby girl and happy to have her with me.

Hectic Week
Well I have been trying to get ready for a vendor show I have next thursday. I have been putting info bags together and also little gift bags filled with other wahms info.
I am so excited as this will hopefully get my name out there. I need more business and I am determined to get more clients and sales from this. All my kids have been helping me get ready. Even my 2year old Lily. She comes up to me and says 'I help' she is so adorable. I am grateful for them wanting to help and I do see it as spending time with them. I want to spend more time and it will happen.
I am officially 26 weeks now. I will be 27 weeks tomorrow saturday. I am so ready to have this baby. I am trying to prepare for her arrival as well. I was thinking of having an online baby shower. Let me know if this is something you would be interested in participating in. I could use some help in baby girl stuff since all my stuff got burned in the fire. Just a thought I throw out there.
My life has been hectic these past few weeks and I could really use some me time, but with a house full that's kinda impossible. Let's just say I am so looking forward to school starting up again. I have major problems sleeping at night talk about insomnia. I have also come to conclusion that I am not the only mom type in my daughter's life. Her dad has a new girlfriend and she seems to be spending quality one on one time with my daughter. Don't get me wrong i am glad she is doing so but I am still kinda upset. I know it is not easy to pay attention to all my children at once, not to mention my fiance. I feel so overwhelmed at all the "duties" I have in my life. And yes I feel as though I am going krazy, but I am hanging in there. I am not one to give up on anything I do. I just need to have mommy & me days with my children. It's easier said than done. I also found out my grandpa has cancer and that he has totally given up on life (my mom's dad), and I just don't know what to do or think about that whole situation. I do know if he does pass away my grandma would be devastated and probably will not recover from it. I forgot to mention that my teenage daughter (almost) is also going through some things as my brother's wife is putting her through bullshit. She puts guilt trips on her and makes her cry. What kind of aunt does that? She just brings my daughter down and if it was up to me we would not have anything to do with her, but like I said she is my brother's wife.
I am also looking for 5 more people to sign up to host a Gold Canyon Candles catalog party in august of a minimum of $100 worth of orders. Please help me out if you can. I can send you a catalog and some order forms to show family and friends. All orders will ship directly to you and then you just hand out the orders.
It's probably all these pregnancy hormones getting to me either way Thanks for letting me vent! ;)

Marriage - A Must Read
I found this story on Facebook and I thought I'd share it with all my readers and followers.
MARRIAGE
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.
She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?
I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.
She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane.
When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.
She requested that every day for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.
I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.
My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside
the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.
On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.
I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.
She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.
Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.
At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.
That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.
My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push thru with the divorce.-- At least, in the eyes of our son--- I'm a loving husband....
The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!
If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.
If you do, you just might save a marriage.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
A CHRIST-CENTERED MARRIAGE IS A MARRIAGE THAT IS SURE TO LAST A LIFETIME.
So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. Matthew 19:6
-Stephanie Hamilton Brown
My Thoughts on the reading:
While I started reading this I felt my heart being torn. I did not understand why. The more I read the more it was torn. The part when the husband realized that he wanted to stay married to his wife til death do they part, well I though hey he finally realized he truly loved his wife. Then he came home to find her dead in bed that broke my heart and I started to cry and could not stop. She did not want her son to hate his dad because of a divorce and shatter his spirit. She wanted her son to remember that his dad loved his mom and carried her to show it. I still cry as I write this.
It made me realize I do not want to lose track or forget the love i share with my fiance. I want to cherish him and show him my love for him. I want us to be best friends and share our lives together and not just be "together" like a couple. i want us to truly be connected as one.
Intimacy is not just about sex. It's about being caressed and a sense of being loved. It could be a touch on the hand, a hug, a gentle kiss on the forehead or the cheek. It's what you want to make of it and having the recipient feel the love you want to offer.
I am glad I found this reading and shared it with all of you!
I love this pic of my fiance Antonio and myself taken sometime last year. We show much love and I plan to get that same feeling back as I feel I am the one drifting apart due to stress in my life.
I love you baby!

Too Hot for Comfort!
Fawk You ~ It is a little after 5pm here in Fresno and it is 105 degrees. I am so hot it's not even funny. Oh did I mention I am six months pregnant and my cooler is broken, not to mention I have three of my other kids in this oven baked house. I feel like I am literally baking in my home. The landlord's maintenance men will be here on Tuesday to fix my cooler. In the mean time this is going to be a very HOT WEEKEND.
Fawk You ~ I am not liking this California heat especially the central valley. I know I have been here my whole life and yes I still can't take this heat. I guess it wouldn't be that bad if I wasn't pregnant with a broken cooler. I am just ranting and I will get over it.
On a different note, I finally managed to get Lily's play room done. It only took me five months. I will post pics later after I take them. I am slowly getting my home into a homey place to live one room at a time. I will need to go shopping for new decor for my walls as mine burned in the fire. My next project tomorrow is to tackle on the refrigerator. I want to give it a deep cleaning inside and out. Then the kitchen will also get a deep cleaning as well.
I hope everyone is having a good evening. I must close this blog post for now til I blog again. My family is getting hungry, so time to make dinner and then a cold shower to cool down from this heat.
Follow Me and all the Fawk You Friday participants!

An Explosive Day ~ Updated added Pics
Well yesterday I went to court regarding my CPS case with my boys. I went to my mediation and was granted full sole and legal custody of my boys. My case was officially closed and am I glad. It took me three years to get my boys back and I will not jeopardize them again or my other children. I worked hard and even though there were times I felt hopeless and felt like giving up I felt the Lord's presence and kept on fighting. I thank HIM for all that is good in my life.
My ex-husband and his lawyer was demanding visits with my boys and I finally agreed to unforced supervised visits. He is currently incarcerated for felony torture on me and was convicted June 2001. My boys were only 2 years and 18 months so they really don't know him. And I don't want to "force" them to see him either.
I took Lily to her first dentist appointment yesterday after court. She did really well I was so proud of her. She did not cry as the other children there. I also took pics of her on the dentist chair and she was posing as she loves to take pictures. She goes back next month for two minor fillings.
When we got home it smelled like fire and I thought someone was bbq'n so I did not think nothing of it. We left once Antonio got home to go run errands and pick up our new family pet. As we were out and about my daughter calls us and tells us she called 911. Apparently there was a fire next door to our house (vacant home) and it was minor. The fire dept was there to put it out and my daughter Alanis answered questions. I am so amazed at how grown up she is.
We enjoyed the rest of our evening and the kids were in bed. Antonio and I stayed up to watch Bones on the laptop. After wards we headed to dream land. That was about 10:30pm or so. As I was about to enter my deep sleep I was awoken by screams of "FIRE FIRE". it was my mom yelling as she noticed the fire from the bedroom window. (I thank God she was awake still to notice this as we could have been killed.) I looked out my window and the house next door (vacant home) was on fire. Well the garage and the flames were high and going strong. I panicked and called 911 as I was on the phone with the operator the fire spread to our power line, all I heard was a crackling sound and the power went out in the house. The power line that caught on fire gave out. I screamed for Antonio to get my baby and we ran out the house through the front door.
Alanis was waking up her brothers to get out of the house as well. My son Dominic is a hard sleeper as he took longer to wake up. But he did. We watched the fire and the raging orange flames hover over the garage then finally to the fence and onto our garage. All our belongings were gone. All my kids stuff and mine as well.
The firemen arrived and did their job to put out the flames. They did the main fire then ours. I was told by the captain it had been the sixth fire that day. They had came from a fire on Fresno and Shields, which is up the way from us. PG&E had to come out and fix the power line and I am so grateful as we had power up in our house within the hour.
How can someone just go around and start fires? What do they get out of it? Is there something wrong with these people?
I thanked the captain for their hard work and he told me sorry about our stuff. I then told him at least my family is safe. And they were on their way.
I tried to salvage what I could which wasn't much, but hey I tried. I have pics which I will post after I upload them.
This also brought to our attention that we need to develop our safety plan in case of other fire. We will definitely be making one this weekend.
Til I blog again!

How can someone just go around and start fires? What do they get out of it? Is there something wrong with these people?
I thanked the captain for their hard work and he told me sorry about our stuff. I then told him at least my family is safe. And they were on their way.
I tried to salvage what I could which wasn't much, but hey I tried. I have pics which I will post after I upload them.
This also brought to our attention that we need to develop our safety plan in case of other fire. We will definitely be making one this weekend.
Til I blog again!

Cell Phone Blues
I am soooo upset because I found out earlier today that my daughter's cell phone got stolen at school. I am also upset that she felt she was going to get into trouble if she told me. I guess the situation occurred yesterday during or after her PE class. My mom had said she was acting strange well I know why now. I need to work on my daughter's relationship with me so she can trust that she can tell me anything.
I will think about getting her another phone maybe not so expensive this time. Although grandma bought that cell phone for her. I know she will be needing a cell phone and I have several prepays maybe I will just turn one on for her. I do not blame my daughter for this, it is not her fault that someone had to steal to get what they do not have.
I still cannot believe that someone would or could do that. Are they in desperate need of a cell phone they have to result to stealing? What is going through their mind? Are they having problems at home, is it a cry for help? Whatever it is I will pray that God will touch their heart and help them find their way back to His path.
Again, this day has been KRAZY! I took my son to the doctor, got him out of school and was running late (as I was on the phone canceling my daughter's cell phone). Anyways, when I got there they told me there was a problem with my son's insurance and I did not take the card with me. I asked why couldn't they call me to let me know before I took my son out of school and rushed over there. The person behind the desk told me it was another person's job to do so.
Already fed up with the day so far I got home and watched my shows on the DVR. I am so into One Life To Live and All My Children. If you are one that watches this it is getting good now. Most of the lies have surfaced and I absolutely loved the three day musical.
My day is still not over, later I am taking my toddler to the park and my boys to scouts.I have lasagna in the oven and waiting patiently for it to be done. I also went to my WIC appt this morning and had a nutritional class regarding cheese. They showed us a video on Eggplant Lasagna and it looked so delicious! I have not tried eggplant but I think I will try this recipe. After I make it there will be a review and the recipe will be provided. Time to check the oven, til next time I blog.
