Happy Belated Mother's Day

Since I was in the hospital for Mother's Day this year, we celebrated it this past Wednesday at Ramos'. It was very casual, but it was a chance for all the cousins to meet the new additions to the family. Since Tesa and I have had our kids so close together we have always taken their pictures together laying on the floor. Maria and Jon are 3 months apart, Bella and Nicholas are exactly 2months apart & Lorenzo and Marisa are exactly 3 weeks apart. So below are some pictures of that.







I have also added some pictures of the boys with their little sister. They both love to hold her and play with her when she is awake. They are both being such great big brothers to her. It will be interesting to see how they will be towards her when she gets bigger.

















Marisa went to go see her Dr. on Wednesday and she was already back to 8lbs. The scale measure 17 lbs 15.5 oz., but they round it up to 18 lbs. in the computer. She was 90th percentile for height (they measured her at 21 inches) and 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for her head size (14inches). They have me fill out a questionnaire for each well exam and one of the questions was are you getting enough rest. I had marked down yes, and Dr. Siefferman was surprised that it was marked yes. She is such a good girl that she only really wakes up twice a night. Last night I fed her at 10pm (had to wake her up) and she only fed on one side because she was so tired and she didn't wake up again until 3:00am! I couldn't believe it! Than she woke up again around 6:30am. She eats like she was born to nurse! That is what the home nurse said yesterday. She also said Marisa is doing well! Her next appointment will be her 2 months check up.

I love how she is crossing her hands in this picture! Stay tuned for more pictures!
