SHE HAS ARRIVED

Well "Jenna" Majenta Isabela Barberan has arrived. She was born 6-25-08 at 11:55PM 6 lbs 10 oz. We are very excited to have her in our life. She is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Everything went great we just had one little problem to keep us from going home. The nurse came in to give Majenta the shots she needed they notice that her skin was yellow. This is a sign of Jaundice they say it is normal in infants but it is more high risk when it is coombs positive which she is. So they put her on Phototherapy which was only suppose to be for 6 hours but someone did not set it for the highest setting so she had to stay in there longer which ended up being 14 hours. I did not like it very much because I could not hold or feed her when I wanted to. Also the longer I would hold or feed her the longer she would have to stay under the light so I was kind of sad. But it is all over. She is doing fine and we are happy to be home.

I love these pictures they are so funny looking it looks like she is getting a tan. The other one makes her look like a alien or bug.





These are the pictures we took when she was in the hospital









And here are some pictures I took to show you her cuteness.

Our little Majenta Ball












Well there is a taste for ya and there will be many more to come. I love taking pictures so she is in for a long ride Hehehe.

WELCOME HOME MAJENTA

Still Waiting

Well I just thought I would write because it has been a while. We are still waiting for Majenta to come and join us. So far I don't have any contractions or braxton hicks. I feel pretty normal. So we shall see when she will feel like coming out. I am going to the doctor every week now. We have packed our stuff that we need for the hospital. I just need to put it all in the car. I am going camping with my friends this weekend because it is suppose to be nice. The place we are going to be is closer to the hospital than my house so I am not worried if I go into labor over there. It will be fun to go out with my friends one last time without having to worry about a baby. I know it is going to be a big change in my life which I am excited for. So we will try and keep you posted. I am sure I will put something up right away when she is born because we are just so excited. Thank you everyone for your support and comments for me being a new mom. Well till the next time.

Last Baby Shower

Well I had my last baby shower yesterday. Now we are making sure we have everything and just waiting for little Majenta to arrive. This is me on my way to the baby shower along with Ruben and Lucciano. We are all excited for her arrival.

Belly Henna

I went to a bellydancing event the other weekend so I had a local henna artist draw on my belly and hand so I could show off at the event so here are some pictures.

FINALLY GOT IT

I finally got my Utlrasound pictures scanned in and ready to show so here they are this is Baby and I at 20 weeks





This is baby and I at 27 weeks with the new 3D ultrasounds

8 Months Pregnant

As you can see I have been slacking off a bit on the blog. But here I am back and ready to be more informative about what is going with the Barberan Family. I am working on scanning the last pictures of our baby's ultrasounds. I might be able to figure out how to put the quick video that they gave me of her moving. Also we had some 3D ultrasound pictures taken so I need to scan those in also. To catch up on what is going on with us right now is no real news. Ruben is still working on Crazy Fuego our Web and Graphic Design company which is going well. I am still working and will up until the day I have the baby because I have been feeling fine so there is no reason for me to be at home right now. I have put together everything for the baby room the only thing we need left is the stroller and car seat but Grandma Kathie said that she was going to get that for us. I think I have un-officially found the name for our baby girl. Let me know what you think Majenta (yes, like the color but spelled different) Isabella Barberan and I was thinking Jenna for a nick name. I thought it was cute. Lucciano is excited for the baby to come he is going to be a big help when the baby comes. He will be 6 June 8th and he keeps saying after his birthday he is going to have a baby sister. We added another member to our family a month or so ago to give our chihuahua Spike someone to play with her name is Ella she is another chihuahua. They have a blast playing together.

5 months Pregnant

Well just an update. I am starting at my fifth month to take monthly pictures of my belly to put pictures in a frame for a time line. Here is my 5 month pic



I am going to get my ultrasound this Friday Feb. 15th in the morning so we hope to find out if it is a boy or a girl. We are very excited.

I created this post for my bellydancing troupe. We are putting an event together with workshops and a show. This is my practice for my web designing ability that I am working on for our company Crazy Fuego.

Christmas Tree

So this last Sunday. Ruben, Lucciano and I put up the christmas tree it looks very nice. I am going to post some pictures. We are very excited to be having our first christmas in our Condo. We are going to spend christmas with Ruben's family in Portland. Then for New Year we are planning on going up to Washington for Katie to cut my hair and to celebrate the New Year with my family. Everything is going well with us at this moment. Ruben is trying to survive another Oregon winter. He does not like the cold very much but he will live. Otherwise the baby has been treating me well. I am very sensative to smells right now but we are still moving forward. We are getting more and more excited everyday. I am hoping to have a baby shower sometime up in Washington so my family and friends in Washington share this joy with us. So I will let you know when that ends up being. I can't wait to see this little baby of ours.

OK Baby Update

Ok so today I had my first Dr. appointment and we are thinking that I am about 16 weeks. So we go through the medical questions and then we get to the part where they try to hear the baby's heartbeat. So they tried for about 10 mins with no luck. So they said they want me to have an ultrasound to make sure I am as far along as we thought. They get me an appointment later in the afternoon. So Ruben, Lucciano, and I go and they start with the ultrasound asking me when my due date is. I told them May 14th. Then she starts to do the ultrasound and she says "Did you know that your do date is like way off?" She told me that I am 9 weeks 5 days pregnant. Well that was a little surprise but fine. That explains why they could not find the heartbeat in the office. So these are the new Facts. My new due date is June 29th so I changed my little spinning baby on my blog to 9 weeks. So we are excited still because we are still pregnant and because we got our first picture of our baby. During the ultrasound we could see our baby wiggling around it was soooo cool. The other cool thing is that now they have the 3D ultrasounds and I asked if my insurance would cover one and they said no they wont but that they give that complimentary when I come in for my 24 weeks ultrasound. I was so excited. I can't wait to see our 3D Baby. Anyway so that is the newest news. I will keep you updated on our progress.

WE'RE PREGNANT

(writing with BIG SMILES) I just wanted everyone to know that Ruben and I have just found out that we are 10 weeks pregnant with my our first child together. We are so very excited. Ruben is hoping for a girl. I have no preference. Our due date is May 14th 2008. My sister Jessica informed us that she is also 10 weeks pregnant with her fourth child. She is very excited! I am going to try and keep everyone posted on our progress.

Katie's Website up and Running

I just wanted to say that Ruben and I just finished Katie's Hair Design website for when she is out of beauty school if you want to check it out. It is pretty cool. www.katieleefashion.com or we have a link under Our Favorite Websites. Nothin else is really going on just working and playing around with websites. So yup that is my post for today believe it or not. HEHE. Laters.

Iowa Training Trip

So this weekend I went to Iowa to train a Dental Office that had bought software from the company I work for at the moment. I do this several times during the year. I have been to NYC 3 times already. I love to visit New York. So anyway it was fun I flew from Salem, OR to Salt Lake City, UT and then on to Omaha Nebraska. I had to drive for 2 hours to get the office in Iowa there was a lot of corn fields along the way it was beautiful. I stopped a couple times it was warm and windy. It was nice to smell the fresh country air. It reminded me of St. John Washington when I would go visit my Grandparents and cousins when they lived there. I loved going there. Anyway I thought I would share some photos. This weekend is Ruben's birthday and we are going to the Oregon coast so I am sure we will have photos from that also.

Lucciano at the Doctor Office

Lucciano felt a little sick so we took him to the doctor. We noticed as we were sitting there patiently waiting for the doctor that Lucciano was wearing the same colors as the doctors office. I thought it was funny. I had to take a picture.

Renaissance Faire

Ruben, Lucciano and I went to the Renaissance Faire this weekend it was a blast. We saw Knights and Queens. This faire is once a year it is called the Shrewsberry. This was Ruben and Lucciano's first time.
