The Most Beautiful Baby

O.K. So maybe as the mommy I am a little bit biased on this subject. But I honestly feel that we have the most beautiful baby in the world. Not to say that there aren't other babies that are cute and sweet. But mine is the best.
She is really adorable. Plus she is just the best baby. She hardly cries. She sleep four hours at a time every night and gives us 12 hours of almost uninterupted sleep. (mostly uninterupted for Alex, less so for the Moo Cow Mommy who has to wake up to feed the baby)

She started smiling last week. But this week she has started to smile in response to us. I could sit and stare at her smiling all day. She makes us so happy.
All in all, she is wonderful, we are lucky and I can't think of anything more fabulous that having her.
Here are a few more pics... Yes I am going to be one of those mommies....

On the left we have Caleigh "chillin" with her "beary good friend" . On the right we have "Cool Hip Caleigh".

This picture is of Caleigh in her Brand New Antique Baptism Gown. This gown was handmade for me, when I was born. But by the time my mother had me baptised I was too big for it. But, being that it was handmade Mom helpd on to it for the future. She tried to use it again on both of my sisters, with the same results. She gave it to me at my baby shower. It fits Caleigh perfectly. She is getting baptised in 2 weeks, so I have a feeling it will still fit her then.

I will post more updates soon.

Caleigh Marie Villagran Has Arrived

Caleigh Marie Villagran came into this world on Tuesday, October 2, 2007 at 4:52 am. Mommy worked very hard from Monday at 6:30 am to try and have her through a natural birth. But Caleigh would not hold still for the heart monitor. so, after 22 hours, the dr.s decided to do a C-section.
Mommy has had a great recovery so far. She was up and moving around (all be it very slowly) the first day. Mommy and Caleigh are doing very well with the breast feeding. (the breast reduction will have to wait).
Here are the first few days worth of photos.
Love, Sara Alex and Caleigh

Happy New Year (again)

This weekend is Chinese New Year. This is the year of the pig. So Alex and I are Dragons. Two Dragons are not supposed to get along, because they are both strong willed and ambitious. We have found happy mediums to our personalities. As I said this is the year of the pig, which according to Chinese tradition is lucky. Children born in the year of the pig are happy and honest. So Happy Year of The Pig.
After posting this I found out that this is the year of the Golden Pig in Korean tradition. This is fortunate, because children (boys especially) born this year are destined to be wealthy and prosperous. They will take good care of their parents in the future.
So Yay Piggies!!

What do I do now???

Some of you may know already, but, I am pregnant. Yes, this is good news. Alex and I were going to start in the spring, it seems we have gotten an early start. We think we are between 5 and 10 weeks right now. My first OBGYN appointment is in two weeks. Then we find out how far along we are and possibly what we are having.
I was hoping to enter the intern program in the fall, that is probably going to be on hold until next spring now, because I am due in October. I think it is a little tacky to get a job and then take 6-12 weeks of maternity leave a month later.
So, for those of you that are just hearing about this. We are happy, Alex is still a little wigged out but yes we are happy. I have not had any bouts with morning sickness yet. I am not having any CRAVINGS per say. I am having several things that I want to eat, salads, and bagels. I will do my best to keep everyone up to speed on this and all the adventures that go along with this.
Love you all....
Sara

Visit my new blog!!

You who know me know that I love to cook. So, why not embrace that? I have a second blog (I know i go from one blog that i posted on 6 times in two years to two blogs???) devoted to food. I called it Happy Healthy Eating. I don't like eating healthy, like sooo many other, because it gets boring. I have started to devise and develop Healthy meals that taste good, are fun to eat and are not boring. So this new blog is where I will talk about all thing foody, recipes, my love of Food Network shows and chefs, kitchen tools and kitchen experiments.
Happy Healthy Eating to ALL in 2007.
