new developments

well i am sorry that i have not been around in awhile but things have been ...well... crazy i guess you could say. well my wife finally had the baby it felt like we were going to be pregnant forever. she delivered our beautiful baby girl M. she was born july3rd in the afternoon. so she is now a little over 2 weeks. old. everyday she seems so much older than she did the day before. my sister recently said that it does nto seem to go by as fast as people say. for me it has only been 2 weeks and they have gone by in the blink of an eye. i know it does nto compare to 8 years but i can only imagine how fast they will fly by. however, like she said to do i will enjoy every minute of every day that i spend with my little girl and my beautiful wife. i have been off of work for the last 2 weeks and it has been great spending time with the 2 of them. as well my parents are in toen and have been helping out ALOT. they leave today and it will be sad to see them go. hopefully we will see them in 2 months. i have a cousin who is getting married in NY in september and we have been deciding on what we are going to do. we really want to go to the wedding and will see what we can do to make it there. E is recovering great from the delivery it went smooth and alot better than she was anticipating. it was actually funny after the baby came out my wife said .That was it?? i am glad that thinsg went easy for her, it just means that she will be fine to have another child. we are not talking about the near future but we would like to have more children in the years to come.
our new baby girl has been keeping us up @ nite especially my wife. and than when i wake up in the AM i take her out to the living room and try and let E get some zzzz's. it is really tough on her since she is breatfeeding, there is little that i can do to help. we have tried the bottle and M took to it very well. i did not think thaqt it would be much of a problem, she sucks on everything trying to milk it. she is adorable, i am sitting here right now looking at her as she sleeps in her little pink papasan chair. she loves this chair it vibrates and plays some music. i highly recomend that you get out and get one if you have alittle one that has problems sleeping through thte nite. it does nto work 100% of the time but i would say about 81.5% of the time your in good shape.
we have still not made up our minds about what we are going to do as far as staying in Cali or if we are going to move back to NYC. both have strong benefits for us, and is becoming a very tough decision. i think that when our lease is up here we will have a better picture of what we want to do. as well we are in the market for buying a new car. i have a camry right now and it works well. however, it has hit 113K miles and i think that i would like to have something a little more reliable and new. we have been weighing our options and are not just jumping into a decision without looking from all angles. we really like the dodge nitro. it is a mix between a jeep and a hummer. however, it is not as hollywood as a hummer and gets more miles to the gallon. than on the other end of the spectrum we are looking into the kia sportage. it is a sporty looking SUv and i think a good fit for a new family. gets better gas mileage than the nitro and is a little cheaper. we plan on getting something new within the month or so.. you will be updated when we have made ne decisions.
ok well my parents are on the way over from their hotel. they are leaving today so it will be my goodbye till september. i will catch up with you all a little later
