Rocking Horse, Sand Box and Other Cuteness

I thought I'd post some more recent pictures of the kids since I haven't updated our blog in FOREVER. I never realized how much time two kids under the age of two can suck up! But i'm not complaining. Just seeing these little faces makes it all worth it! So enjoy the munchkins!

Marek's rocking horse, which used to be my horse, which my parents built and painted. Talk about a cool think to pass down to your children. I hope my grandkids get to enjoy this rocking horse one day too!

Marek playing in his sandbox. Turn on a little sprinkler and you've got Beach Boyaner! Ooddles of summer fun!

Misha and I when she was about 2 months old. She's so little here. She's growing so fast these days...

My most favorite picture of Marek. This is the face he makes when he knows he's doing something wrong.

I think her "color" is yellow. She looks so cute in it!

First days of summer and almost 4 months old!

Two peas in a pod. My little munchkins. How can you not love those little faces?!

7 lbs 5 oz, 20 inches

Hoag Hospital, Newport Beach, CA

Labor and Delivery went fast and mostly painless. I would like to personally thank my wonderful team of doctors and nurses for a most pleasant experience. Dr. Kroll, for vacuuming and catching my baby girl. Nurse Kelly, for letting me curse up a storm when I needed to and for being my pain advocate when I couldn't be. And lastly, Dr. Holcombe. My love. The man who placed the epidural needle in my back. Without you, my husband would not have his hands or arms because I would have broken them during labor. Thank you for your magical, steady, quick hands. Oh and I can't forget Bill and Sue Gross, for donating your millions so I could have a private room with a view of the pacific ocean.

Thank you all.

First Gulp of Air

Whatcha lookin at? I'm 7 lbs 5 oz!

Me, Mommy and Mommy's amazing cheeseburger and salad

The next morning...

Hello World!

Marek's First Hair Cut!

The back of his head.

The front. Poor kid has no idea what's coming!

Ta Da! Jo is a saint for letting Marek get into her cupboards!

Marek and Mama, with Jo as the photographer. We took a hundred pics of him and I and he never looked at the camera once!

Ready for GQ...

36 weeks, a.k.a 9 months and Aquarium!

My bun is ready! Let's see if she makes it to her due date...

Our last Aquarium trip together...

I'll do anything for food!

Can you find Nemo?

How cute is this kid? Again, with the food...

Christmas and 8 Months Preggers

Here is what Marek got for Christmas...

...and here is what Mama got for Christmas. Eight Months Preggers!

Just what I asked Santa for!!!

Christmas sure is tiring!

A walk with my Mama will wake me up.

And later that evening...

Apparently, Santa leaves an Elf to put together all the toys he dropped off.

The next morning...

Santa's Elf rocks at putting things together!

My boys relaxing after a busy busy Christmas 2010!

Hair Cut

No, not Marek's first hair cut, but my first hair cut in a LONG time. I always do this. I get to the point of where I have fairly long hair, then I go in, only intending to get a trim and I end up chopping it all off. I chopped off so much that my stylist said if I waited another month or two I could have donated to "locks of love." So here is my right-before-christmas-and-thousands-of-pictures disaster:

I think my hair is only a touch longer than Marek's. New Year's Resolution: Get Marek a hair cut...just in time for thousands of pictures with his sister.

29 weeks and two days

Here she is our little girl!

Everything looks great. My placenta moved up and out of the way (thank you god!) and there's enough fluid around her so no c-section for Mama! Hip Hip Hooray!! On the semi-badish side, she's measuring BIG for her age. If you look at me you'd think she would be tiny tiny tiny, but according to the ultrasound she's a big girl. So it looks like we'll be induced at around 38 weeks. My doctor is playing-it-by-ear as the weeks go on so we'll know more soon enough! I obviously would love it if she took her sweet time and came two weeks late, but since Marek was an early bird, she'll probably be early too. And if these contractions are any indicator, she'll come hard and fast into this world. Bummer for me, great for her! Now to really start getting ready...
