Our biggest edition this past year...

Well here he is... Kruz Hugo Arias.
The very end of Feburary 2010 we found out we were adding one more member to our family.
Kruz was born on October 22, 2010 at 7:45 a.m.
He weighed 7lbs. 1oz. 19 1/2" long.

Hugo really wanted a boy but I thought there is no way, I thought for sure we would have another girl. We were so anxious to find out we made a gender check ultrasound for the earliest possible appointment we could. Sure enough we found out we were having a little boy and to tell you the truth I was scared! All I know is girls pink and purple, barbies, princesses, dance class, makeup, nail polish, I could go on and on. Plus to be honest little boy clothes are sooooo ugly. As the months went on I got a little more used to the idea of having a boy but I was still scared!
We decided as soon as I found out I was expecting that this would be our last child and I would have my tubes tied. I told Dr. Gourley at my first appointment that we were done and he needed to take care of things! He just looked at me and laughed. My pregnancies with the girls were so easy for the most part I didn't even feel pregnant, Kruz however was another story. I was miserable 80% of my pregnancy with him. He sat really low to the point it felt like he was going to fall right out. I could go on and on about the pains and trials of being pregnant I will just say I counted down the days thinking this was the last time I would have to be pregnant! I was due on the 29th but knew I didn't want a Halloween baby so we scheduled my c-section for the 22nd the day before my birthday!
We seriously love this little man more than words, he is the sweetest baby and so stinking adorable I hear it all day long from multiple people just how adorable he is. He is now 7 months old and pushing 21lbs. He is huge I have been buying him 12mo size clothes for awhile now and starting to buy 18mo. I swear by his first birthday he will be in 2T! He is just starting to try to push up on all 4 he usually pushes up to hands and toes like a push-up position its so funny. He wants to be mobile so badly he gets so frustrated that he is not quite there yet.
Here are just a few pictures of him so get ready to fall in love...

I'm back!!!!

It's been over a year since I last posted and to tell you the truth time has gotten away from me! I felt that blogging had gotten to the point that I felt I needed to post what I thought everyone wanted to hear, borderline "keeping up with the Jones'"! Therefore I needed the break. After so long I kinda thought what's the point I have too much catching up to do so I had planned to delete my blog all together till last night I read my good friend Angi's blog and after I thought why do I care what others think, I really don't. So I thought about the purpose of blogging and why I had one and realized that I am getting older and I want to remember all the little things my kids do that make me smile, dates for certain events, milestones in our family so here I am, I'm back.
I am going to try to be real and not get caught up in trying to make things seem perfect when 90% of the time they are not. So in the next couple days I am going to try to do some small re-caps of events/milestones over this last year...
