"I am getting lots of sleeping beauty" ...reese

This is the outfit Reese came home in today. It is very girlie and sweet, something I am not used to.

Jonas is with us today and really hasn't had much to do with her. He rocked her while she was lying in her swing and then stared at her some while she was eating. I will try to get pics of them together. Just 3 days ago I thought I had a baby to take care of on top of a new-born, but it seems that Jonas has grown in the few days of Reese's arrival. Maybe it is because Reese is so tiny and doesn't do much, but Jonas seems more like a little man today. He is taking more steps by himself, so we think he will be walking soon. Jason has been a huge help today playing with Jonas and tending to him while the baby & I have rested some.

More birth day pics

Reese Elizabeth

Please don't kill me.... as I looked over the pictures we took, almost all of them are either fuzzy are very dark. We have no idea what happened to our camera functions, but the pics are just not good. I promise to take more today (since we are home!!!) and post them. PROMISE!

It's a GIRL!!

Hey guys, this is Penny and Casey asked me to post for her. Let me first say she is BEAUTIFUL! Reese Elizabeth was born at 2:11 and she weighs 7 lbs 7 oz and is 21 inches long. Mom and baby are doing wonderful with no complications. They are all shocked she is a girl but nonetheless are so excited! We will update with pictures as soon as possible.

Boy or Girl

Reese's is pink with black writing. Beckam's is navy with pink writing.

It seems that every BIG event in our family is communicated with T-shirts. Jason proposed with one, we announced we were pregnant the first time with a tee, and then with the birth of Jonas we used t-shirts to tell the waiting room if it was a boy or girl. We have decided to do the same thing with this child as well. Of course I had the t-shirts ready weeks in advance with Jonas, and tonight I painted our boy one because we didn't have time to get his made. We are using the same girl shirt from our first-born. After the baby arrives, Jason puts on the appropriate T and then wears it out to announce the baby! It's fun and here is a sneak preview of our t-shirts this go round.

Last Pregnant Day

Jonas finding my belly button


Today and tonight was very pleasant. I basically washed clothes all day and relaxed with Jonas. It was a typical, normal day for us. Tonight we had dinner with my family. My mother's sisters came into town to help with Jonas for the next couple of days. We ran a couple of errands this evening and that was about it. We did install the car-seat and put the swing together, which took maybe 30 minutes. With our first child, those 2 items took hours to put together and were installed and ready weeks before the birth. It's sooo different with your second. I can remember admiring the swing and bouncy seat before Jonas arrived, and with this one I had no time to even think about it. You seem to be glad to get it all in place just hours before he/she arrives.
I might have a girlfriend update the blog for us Tuesday night since I won't have access to internet until we come home, which I am thinking will be Thursday. We are praying for a safe and healthy delivery and baby. Keep us in your prayers! Love to you all! The Lozada's

Our bathroom project.... finally! Before & After shots....

AFTER SHOTS:

After a good month of tearing down walls, replacing plumbing/floor, new tile, painting, & caulking... our bathroom is complete. We have really enjoyed it being finished.

38 weeks

Went to the doc this morning and we will be seeing Baby Lozada's face on Tuesday, March 20. We have a scheduled induction, same as Jonas. We have to be at the hospital at 7am and I feel like the baby will arrive sometime that evening. Today I was 1-2 cm with 50% effacement. I finally have some progression! With Jonas, we started the pitocin around 7am and he came at 4:24pm. You never know with the next one though. I did really well on the medicine and my body reacted well to it, so I am hoping for another good delivery.

Wye Mountain, daffodil field

For you Mississippians that read our blog, there is a daffodil field about 30 miles outside of Little Rock that is open a couple of weekends out of the year. It's huge and MANY people go to take pictures. We missed it last year, but headed that way today. Jonas was not in a good mood to begin with, and I had hoped he would nap on the way.... but nooooo, not today. And on top of no nap, my child does not like the texture of grass or even sitting in it. He did not smile in one picture we took today and we took a lot! Jason was not able to go (due to the bathroom project), so my mom went with us. It was a beautiful day here and we enjoyed God's nature! The field is overwhelming and absolutely gorgeous!

Daffodil, I am so ill .....

Jonas was worn out close to the time we were leaving. You can tell on his face! We didn't even stay long, but it was in the middle of his nap-time.

I Heart Spaghetti

The Sweetest Face

37 weeks

I am to a one cm with no effacement, so that means I am good to go for another week. I have to keep in mind that I did not progress with Jonas, so there's a good chance I won't with this one either. The doctor did not mention being induced and I didn't either, so I don't know anything for now. I'll keep truckin' until something happens.
A BIG congrats to Melissa for delivering Jackson this morning. You can check out her blog on our links "The Wolfe's".
Also, Lauren from "The Walker's" delivered Sydney tonight after a full day of labor. Way to go Lauren!

36 wks.....4wks left

Absolutely NO changes. I will have to say I was shocked when I heard that come from our doc's mouth this morning. Our next appt is a wk from today. Will keep you all up-to-beat on the Lozada baby. I did buy a pink bow yesterday in hopes that if it is a girl, she will have something to wear in her hair on the way home.
Our names are BOY: Beckam Miles & GIRL: Reese Elizabeth.

The latest saga....

Well, remember me saying we were going to remodel our bathroom? We did start that project and it has gone on further than we thought. It will be almost 2 wks before the bath is completely finished. Since the project started, we have been staying with my parents. They have been gracious enough to feed us, wash clothes, take care of Jonas at night while Jason works on the bath, and let us envade their privacy. SO, big thanks to Su-Su & Poppa for being so patient with us. We promise to be leaving soon. We have enjoyed all our slumber party's with you!
The bathroom is looking great with our new tile. We ran across some plumbing issues and that is what still needs to be fixed. I will post pics as soon as we get back into our home. Since we have been way off schedule, it's been hard to update or do anything else for that matter. Jonas was sick a couple of wks ago, got better, and now has a nasty cough. I am sure that will pass soon, and the warm weather will help with all of our sinus issues.... maybe.
The baby is due in 4 wks. I go to the doctor tomorrow (Friday) and will post an update after that. I still have yet to wash the baby's clothes, organize them, get the bedding ready, install the carseat, or pack my to-go bag. I do hope to get that done within the next week.
p.s. Jonas just spilled my cup of sweet tea and you would have thought he broke his leg when I took the cup away from him. It broke his heart. He must be tired and ready to nap!
Updates coming soon with pictures!
