Updates- Updates- Updates

Not too much news to update on, but there are a few things here and there. Today little O had a doctor's appointment which went very well. He is at the level he should be at with his reflexes and growth/ weight. Ok, so perhaps he is a bit heavier than most but you know... he WAS born big. He is already measuring 23 3/4 inches and is weighing 11.7 lbs. His head, although still in the curve (thank goodness) is at the higher end of the curve (16 1/2 inches). So to put it simple he is big, fat, and has a big head! It seems like in just six weeks he has grown so much and is already so alert. His little footsie pjs are almost not fitting him, the toes are getting too tight. Tummy time is such an event at the Falcon home, more for mommy than for baby but an event none the less. He is beginning to hug/ hold on while he is being carried too, which is the absolute best and cutest! Since the womb I have read to him, but I just recently started to introducing some new books and Baby Einstein DVDs (which he is hypnotized by). Oh, and before I forget here is a picture of the cutest newborn in Miami using the fabulous bouncer the Antelos got him. Just click on the actual pic Liani so you can see it larger. Also, Tia Cameron don't feel discriminated against, he has been using the little picnic blanket tummy time thing you got him too (it is just not pictured). And of course, adding on to my "to do" list I am currently trying to get everything in order to have Omar baptized. Which is more of a task than I imagined it would be. I am still waiting for his birth certificate to come in, which I cannot set a date with the church without it. I am hoping that it comes in asap and I am able to have him baptized in September the latest. Which of course, is not just getting him baptized and that's it. You know how us Cubans are, there has to be some sort of celebration afterward. So I have to make sure both God parents have their needed documentation in order, set a date and hope and pray that I am able to get the location for the luncheon. Oh, and of course invitations, food, some sort of center piece, etc!!! Did I mention I am a new mom? LOL!!!!

If planning the baby's baptism was the only thing I had to get done it would not be such a huge ordeal. I still have to get out the baby's birth announcement out.. I am hoping to get that done before his first birth day (LMAO!). I am being optimistic that tomorrow I will be able to get the address labels completed and have them out before week end. I am kicking myself for thinking it would be such a cute idea to make the announcements myself.. ughh!

I am proud to say that Omar is going back to school. Well, back to school on paper... but it is virtual college. And realistically I will be doing most of the work which I don't mind at all. It will keep my brain active and not turning into jam from all the Baby Einstein singing monkeys puppets. He is also going to start his first responder class as well to become an EMT. The fire department will be accepting applications soon, and the family is working hard to get Omi into the department. One step closer to operation: LIFE. Omar was also fortunate enough to receive a letter of intent to hire for the county at Sunset High School, plus he will be coaching at Killian High School again this upcoming baseball season. He is really liking coaching high school ball, it allows him to stay involved in the game without all the b/s politics to some degree. We are also looking into starting a baseball academy, but that is still in the brain storming phase... so we're not sure if/ how it will work out with the crappy economy right now.

As for myself, not too many things are new. I finally got myself a much needed mani/ pedi today. I had not even thought about my nails since the baby was born. But I am beginning to feel more ummm... I guess pretty. Not that I felt ugly, just hadn't really had the time to fix myself up to look "decent". I still have a lot of weight I want (NEED) to shed but I don't feel so huge. I had to go out and purchase some shorts, because I am in the in between stage of being too small for prego clothes- thank goodness- but still not fitting comfortably into my old clothes. Dieting is not really my thing, so I am trying so0o0o0o hard to just moderate my eating habits. It is some what working, but it is difficult. Especially since while I was pregnant I didn't eat everything I saw, but I really did not give myself any boundaries. Hmmm... I guess that is why I am in this situation now!!! Although I did not get to have my baby natural, I am currently the midwife for my poor little precious Coco. Yup, apparently as much as we thought we tried to keep Coco and Peanut apart... we failed. She is pregnant and due any day now. I am actually feeling terrible because I did not want her to have another litter so soon. Not sure if most of you remember but she had a litter in January of this year. They were beautiful puppies, but a lot of work. Problem is, that we have no clue when he got her pregnant... so not a clue as to when she is due. And honestly I don't even kind of remember when she was in heat.... never ending missions that is MY life. I am hoping that this time she only has like two puppies, so it is easier on her during birth and than while she is nursing.

Whoa... I had not noticed how terribly late or rather early it is. Guess I'll get to sleep and get in some hours before the next time my "moquito" wakes up. I'll leave you with a cute pic of Big and Little O.
