Sincerely, Christina XO

I loooooooooooooooove the way Let's Cuddle Forever came out. Aubrielle is kicking back right now in all her pinkness, lounging in her pink bouncy chair. I just took her a bath and she smells sooooooooooooo yummy. I can hardly believe that I have a daughter. I've been surrounded by so much boyness with Jaden that it's hard for me to wrap my brain around all this pink! I can't wait to dress her in all her cute stuff including her gold mary janes. Yeah, you heard right, gold mary janes. Ummm huuummmm! She even has silver ones too. Time for bed. This mamma is tired. Light out and peace out! cp

Aubrielle Rose at 1 week old. Please pass me the bad mother of the year award....I haven't been taking many pictures of her since her birth. Just a few here and there. Good God people, what in the heck is wrong with me? Yesterday, the my local sb friends had a little sb/shower for the new and soon to be Mom's at my lss. It was fun to chill with the girls and such. Hey! I found out Heidi Swapp is living in Asia! Whoa! See what happens when your out of the loop? Anyway....I forgot how fun it was to actually get your sb goodies out and actually create a page. Boy do I miss it. It took a while for the creative juices to get started but amazingly, I still have it! I'd show you the pages I did, but they were for the new mommies and I didn't snap a photo of 'em. They both were 12 x 12 girls and man, it was hard for me to do that size again after so long! Dude! I love, love 8.5 x 11 even more now! Just so much less space to have to fill up I guess. I produced ...

Lot's of emails waiting for me in my inbox that had not been checked in almost one month in a half, (Gasp!!!!) that had been asking if I had given birth yet or if I was going on a 2 year long pregnancy. Even though it seemed that way, either that or I was having a 20 lb baby (ouch..or a 12 lb'er like my local sb friend!)....anywhoo..... Aubrielle Rose Padilla came into this world a whole 2 weeks early, much to my surprise, because I was expecting her around the 14th!... she weighed a hefty 7.2 lbs (I'm kidding, since J was a 9 lber!!) and was a full 20 inches long. She's got all 10 fingers and toes, a full head of dark hair, and she's Jaden's mini me, just a smaller version of him, but with girl parts. lol Hard delivery, long delivery, it seriously dropped kicked me on my caboose. Aubrielle had a bad case of jaundace that we had to address with daily trips to the hopspital but I'm happy to report that she's much better now. I'm sorry this post dos...

Hope you've all had a chance to check out the cool DareJack of the fabu Mrs. Kristi Contes over at Scrapjacked! Love the dares. Love jackin' their steelo up! So yeah, long time no blog, again. I know, I know. I'm dragggin' bootie over here. Just want to say that everything is going smoothly now with my pregnancy.....less than 10 weeks left! OMG I can't believe that I'm going to have a baby daughter in a matter of weeks. Amazing. My son Jaden, who turns 4 on October 28th is starting pre-school in 2 weeks! I've registered him and been school shopping for my little man. So many cute clothes out there and yup, I'm still buying cute little girlie things for Aubrey. My sister and Mom keep telling me that I'm going to get tons of stuff from my baby shower next month...but I see so many cute+darling+precious stuff that I must have. I must I tell ya. :) Haven't been scrapping much but I did do a few things for Hambly using a couple of brand spanki...

...Tomorrow!! Stay tuned for some cool action over at ScrapJACKED!! Check it! You won't be dissapointed! lub, cp

Been working on my Rouge De Garance DT layouts......here's what I've done so far! PS. Sorry for the MIA stuff again. Our family lost my dear Grandmother Concepcion (I called her Mamita)....she was put to rest last Friday. We all miss her dearly. I'm proud to have known her and take great comfort in knowing she is now with my Tata (grandfather) up in heaven. She was a fiesty 95 year old....I think she passed that trait on to me....ya think? and.....With Dr's orders, I've been taking it easy and staying home with not so great internet service. Plus my scanner hates me, which makes makes things dif for me. I see a trip to Office Depot in my future soon.
