Mommy Memories

Someone suggested writing about my mommy memories. So, before I forget, here we go.
Isabella Abrienne
Isabella means God is bountiful
Abrienne means Mother on Nations
- When Isabella was born, we wanted to have a surprise. John had been saying we were gonna have a girl. When they pulled her out, the anesthesiologist said "A boy!"...the doctor asked my husband,"well, there you go, what is it?", but John couldn't tell because she was all covered with stuff, so the doctor said "It's a girl!". John called her name, hold her and put her cheeks next to my lips so I could kiss her. I was crying of happiness. Our baby was finally here.
She will be 4 tomorrow. Next year she is going to kindergarten.
- She always has wanted to be very independent, she wants her way, she wants to go out. When she was around 2 she always wanted to go out for a walk, outside the Wesley Foundation.
- She liked Elmo. She an Elmo book and pair of overalls.
- When she was about 2, one morning I was laying on bed and trying to get some more rest, when I heard her coming and just when she was about to put her hands on my mouth, I opened my eyes. She had poop all over her hands!
- This memory is from her daddy. She told him she wanted to have a belly like his. She loves and admires her daddy so much.
- She has always liked to sit and play the piano at Wesley and the house. For the last year, she grabs the guitar when her daddy is playing and makes up songs almost about anything she sees or crosses her mind. She is very creative. She loves singing too.
These days she likes Hannah Montana.
- The last week of my pregnancy with Illias we lay down together for naps in the afternoon. She went to sleep on my arms. I tried to get her to feel the baby but she didn't get it yet until he was born.
-The morning on my 30th birthday Isabella came up to me when I woke up and hold my hand and brought me to the kitchen. She sang Happy Birthday to me in front of the cake her daddy had baked. Afterwards she said she was ready for some cake:)
- My sweet husband brought my mom as a birthday surprise this year. It was the first time my mom got to see Illias and it had been 3 years since she saw Isabella. She stayed here for 5 weeks.
Isabella loved to climb up her back and sleep with her.
When she left Isabella said her mommy Dochi had gone to Peru and then she told me " I miss her too much, I want her to come back " :(. My husband said they talked on the phone and Isabella asked my mom to please, come back. When we went to Target, Isabella wanted to go get her suitcase so she can go to Peru with her mommy Dochi.

Illias Salvador
Illias Salvador means the Lord is my God and my Savior
- When Illias was born, the first he did was cry. The sound of his voice, melted my heart. It was such a sweet baby boy voice. John screamed " That's my boy, let it out, son. Illias Salvador." The doctor said she had known all along we were having a boy and was dying to tell me. Everyone in the OR were so thrilled to hear John so proud of our baby.
