Ultrasound Pictures

Baby Allie! I had an ultrasound to check position and size and it was great! I saw her little face and hair and we even caught her playing with her feet! We were looking at her little feet and then came her hand! She kept puckering out her little lips and then stuck her toungue out! She has lots of thick hair, a filipino nose and big wide lips. One of the pictures is of her hair. You are looking at the back of her head and on the top of her head you can see what looks like grass going verticly in the middle of the page next to the "hair" label. Another picture is of her face where you can mostly only see her nose and her puckered lips. The other is of her face, she is turned a little to the side and its a great picture! She was looking right at us and then snuggled to the side. It was incredable. She is turned upside down weighs about 5 lb 12 oz and is breathing already! They practice moving their lungs so their ready when they get air in them! So she is doing really well, and is absolutly adorable. Pamela's contractions are continuing strong so we predict a baby in the near future, although she's not due for another four weeks so we'll see!

Finally the Update

Things are going very well! We are finally all moved in! Our walls are painted and we even have some pictures up! Jonathan suprized me by painting the bathroom blue and we painted the living room together. We helped Jason and Julie paint Annaliesie's soon-to-be room - so i think we have done a lot of painting. But they all look fantastic! We really like our apartment. Its pretty quiet, we love the pool, the kitchen is nice and we have a big garden tub. Isaac loves to take baths in the giant tub. He heard me filling it up the other day and threw a fit that he wasn't allowed in yet. Throwing fits is a new thing for him. It think its pretty funny. He just throws him self on the floor cries and wriggles around, then after like 15 seconds he's done and continues on his way. He is such a good boy. The other day i was snuggling with Liesie to put her to sleep on the couch and her pacifier fell out. I asked Isaac to get it and he picked it up and put it in her mouth. He is very good at sharing and understands more and more of what we say. He can say "night night" "done" and "hi" in addition to the normal mmama dada stuff. He usually chooses not to talk, and sometimes not to listen. He is pretty funny. He just pretends he doesn't know what we're talking about, but seeing as he obeyed the last 3 times we know he's ignoring us! He is very good with 'come here' 'out' 'go get dada' 'get my shoe' 'no no' 'done' 'hugs' and 'kisses' He has been giving mama lots of kisses latley! Usually i say 'kisses' and he puts his forhead out for me to kiss, but latley he has even given me some kisses of his own! He likes to walk around the store by himself and touch everything. He loves to feed Annaliese. Its pretty funny. He likes to take her bottle or pacifier so that he can put it in her mouth himself. He'll even walk over to her booster seat and take food off the tray and put it in her mouth. I think he will love to help take care of baby Aliie. Annaliese is quite advanced. She is 5 months younger than Isaac but can do a lot of what he can. She doesn't exactly listen to orders, but she can walk and read books really well!
Jonathan's new job is going very well! He loves watching the market and making trades. In the recent falling of the market Jonathan bet against the market and made $700 dollars in one day! I don't feel like we're bragging because we lost a comparable amount from the market falling right before that. He might get transfered to a new office closer to our apartment. That would be exellent as it would shorten the commute time and we would get to see eachother more! Sometimes evenings fly as we eat dinner, run to the store and put Isaac to bed. But we've also been having lots of fun, going to the pool, decorating and watching movies on our new 46" flatscreen lcd tv that Jonathan's parents got him for a graduation present. Its really big. On the weekends we have lots of fun with family. We drive down to Plano for fun things like a Mother's day Luncheon or birthday parties and we skip over to Jason and Julie's so that the boys can watch sports or we can help eacother out with projects. Its really nice to have family close by.

Allie is a bit like Isaac already. Pamela has had to go to the hospital 2x for pre-term contractions. They've gotten as bad as 90 seconds long with only 15 seconds between them. The Dr said they're real labor contractions, but I'm not in labor so just come back if the contractions do. They haven't been as bad latley, but they certainly prevent a good nights rest! Pamela doesn't mean to wake Jonathan up but i guess misery loves company. The hospital dr. predicted allie comin' in about a week or two! The crazy thing about it is that she still could come in a 5 weeks (her due date) so we have to be prepared, but know it could still be a while. We figure she's like Isaac and will probably come in 2 weeks.
Well with all that has happened, that is the ramos family update!

Here are Isaac and Annaliese dancing and laughing. I've been trying to teach Isaac nursury rhymes and there actions, i think it will take a while, but he seems to be responding well. Isaac and Annaliese have become very good friends. They scream dada back and forth and laugh and laugh together. I'm trying to hide the camera so they won't get distracted, thats why you see them over the lunchbox. Along with being really good friends they have certainly started to pick on eachother. What are friends for right?

We're in TX

We have sucessfully moved! There are no pictures because i forgot my camera cord- we don't have the internet set up at our apartment yet. But there will be pictures later! We are happy with our new apartment especially the pool! There are two separate pools and the one outside our apartment has 3 sections, one being 6 inches deep! Perfect for Isaac! Jonathan painted our bathroom blue and it looks fantastic! He did it all by himself as a surprise for me. Most especially, we love seeing eachother every day!!! Isaac loves to play with daddy, whom is so much more fun than momma! We enjoy decorating the apartment, going to the pool, and spending time with extended family. Jason and Julie live only 10-15 minutes away and last weekend we went to mayfest together. We saw a lumberjack show, went to the petting zoo, ate gyros and had lots more fun. Isaac is an official walker with no need to crawl anymore! I'm a bit pressed for time but more to come!

Here are some new videos. Isaac can walk anywhere he wants. However, he takes after his father when he was young, and just does whatever he wants. So he crawls or walks or scoots on his knees. This past weekend was fantastic. We went to down town fort worth. Jonathan listened to a court case for his law class, and Pamela Isaac and Liesie went to an art show! It just so happened that that weekend they closed main street and set up a big flee market type art show where you buy artist work. There were sculptures, photography, woodwork, paintings, jewelery ect. Then we sat by a fountain and a police horse came and took a drink! Annaliese loved that! We went on a Merry-go-round - Isaac cried, but Liesie loved it. A nearby mall has a fantastic play ground for kids their age and they had so much fun. Scottrade paid for Jonathan's day off, our car, gas and food so we ate out, had fun, and got paid. The next day was Jonathan's mother's birthday party. Lots of family came over to Julie and Jason's and it was great to eat and enjoy family. Next time Jonathan comes to TX it's to stay! Anyone who can help us move into our new apartment on April 22nd would be greatly appretiated.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! I don't know that I've ever been so excited for Easter before. Jonathan is coming! He suprized me with a trip this weekend and Scottrade is paying for him to come visit on the 8th also. We couldn't be happier. I am also excited for Easter because Isaac was old enough to find Easter eggs! He and Liesie were rounding them up this morning. Of course it will be important to celebrate the true meaning of Easter and I am so happy to do that as a family with Jonathan here. On Sunday we will be headed to Great Grandma's for Easter dinner and to see the family. What a great weekend. Soon to come will be a few videos. For now here is Isaac taken a few steps!
