Our Beautiful Maya is here!

Maya Isabel Moore

8lbs. 5oz. 19in 12:23pm

Well everything went as planned. This experience was so much better the second time around. Being on bed rest for 3wks paid off! I had no complications and even came home a day early. Our stay at the hospital was great. I enjoyed and appreciate all the help I received. Mike has been so good with the help also. I don't think I even changed a diaper at the hospital. :) The only thing that was hard on me and I know on Mike was not having Ryan with us. We missed him so much. But, Lisandra, Herija, Veronica and DeMarco did have a lot of fun watching and playing with him. So that was a relief knowing that. But the small time we saw him there were tears in our eyes. Especially when he would waive and say bye when he left. But, he loves the "baby". He hasn't mastered the Maya part yet so Baby is fine with us. He loves to give kisses and to just look at her. She has been a good girl so far. Of course she has to be woken up to eat and is in routine with those soiled diapers. Well, I will update soon. I am being called as we speak and lucky me!

The day has almost arrived!

Just wanted to let everyone know we are all ready for a birthday tomorrow. Maya Isabel Moore will be able to meet us face to face. We have a check in at 10am and the c-section for 12noon. I am very lucky to have all this support from everyone! Herija, Lisandra and DeMarco are here and my aunt Stela will be able to be in the OR with Mike and I. I had my last appointment yesterday and everything is good. I was surprised to see that Maya has moved kinda in the transverse position. She has always been head down but has managed to move which I have no idea how since there is like no room in there. Her head is on my left side and bottom on my right. Good thing she is coming out c-section. Since I have been on best rest since June 25th my blood pressure has been very good. And I have to give my husband the credit for that. He has helped me out so much! I have had to waive my doctors note of bed rest a couple of times! Hee Hee!



I am having such mixed feelings right now. I am realizing the time I have only with Ryan is so short and I am trying to milk every second. I worry if he will be nice to her and that he will go through this transition with not so much anxiety of something new. This morning he wanted to carry this stuffed bear his auntie Danielle gave him and while he was drinking his sippy he was giving some to the bear. I tried not to make a big deal out of it and just watch him. But, it did give me the reassurance he will be a good big brother.



Tonight will be fun. I am having my sisters stay with me along with the boys. We are most likely going to watch the premier of Project Runway and eat Italian. My last supper right? I just know I won't be able to sleep tonight because it feels like Christmas!

Way to catch that Fly Ball!!!

Here is my cute sister in law Madison. Her picture was featured in the Spectrum Newspaper. She is on the All Star softball team in St George, Utah. She is an amazing softball player. The other night she called Mike and said she was to excited to text him that she got a triple!!! We are so proud of her. If she wins Saturday then she will be coming down to Tucson for a tournament at the end of the month. GO MOOOO!

How some of us cooled off for the 4th of July!

This is how Chuy kept cool on the 4th! Ryan on the other hand kept cool with Grandma Mioni in the pool!

She may be here earlier than we thought!

Most of you know but I am officially on bed rest. Yup, this baby is just getting the best of me hugh? I do appreciate all the suggestions to keep my mind sane during these next two weeks or so at home. Since my sister thinks I never read, I have a feeling I am going to prove her wrong. Mike does think Maya will be here before the 17th. Should we make a bet? But overall we are doing good. I do have have to say we are so much more prepared this time around.

The Date is set!

Well, today I scheduled my c-section. If everything goes as planned mark your calendars for Thursday July 17th for Maya's Grand Apperance! I have a check in time for 10am and surgery set for 12 noon. We are excitied to prepare for this special event. Lets just say I am way more prepared this time around than I was with Ryan. (Remember he came 3wks early) I will be having her at Banner Estrella Medical Center. If anything changes we will let you know!

Just wanted to share with you the amazing talent of our son Ryan. There was no rehersal, no time spent planning this, but all made up on his own. We have no idea where this kid gets his mooooves, but he's got'em. I know we have shared this with most of you but had to add it to our blog. Thank you Herija for putting this memorable performance of our son to video.

The hair cut

Well, while I was at work today Mike decided that Ryan needed a hair cut. ( Ryan was very upset by the way about this decision ) I have enclosed the before and after. The before was taken last night and the after was today. I know he looks like a new boy that likes to have strawberry juice on the white shirt...dad, but its the summer and hey it will grow out. And a side note, this has been his 4th hair cut so far. I better start learning how to use those hair cutters!

It's finally done

Here we are finally getting this blog up and running. Thank you to all of you that finally threatened with bodily harm to get this going. I know that we live kinda of far from everyone and that you would like updates on us. Those of you that don't know where Waddell, AZ is...thats ok I didn't either. We are at 186th ave and Olive. About 5 miles southwest of Surprise or about 5 miles west of Luke Air force Base. We live right off the foothills of the White Tank Mountains. I know most of you have been out to our home (east LA) and didn't realize people actually live here. Ha Ha. We don't have a grocery store or gas station within 15min of our home. So we rely on Schwans sometimes. :) We do like it out here, it has been an adjustment from the crowded Mesa life. We do miss being close to family and our old friends.

Well, alot has happened this year (can you believe its half way over?). Just to give you a brief summary I will start with Mike. We do have to thank the wonderful housing economy (not!) for Mike getting laid off in January. It was a blessing in disguise that it gave him the opportunity to get his Master Plumbers License, get Bonded, Insured and start his own plumbing company. His new baby is called Ryno Plumbing & Moore. Yes, it was inspired by Ryan. I do have to give credit to my dad for helping us think of that one. So he is his own boss. Just for his company and not at home. :) ( Well he thinks he is at least) If anyone is in need of a plumber you know where to find one.
Now, on to Ryan. He is 18months today and is so much fun. He is all into any kind of sport that his dad watches and loves every kind of ball used for that sport. When Mike went to Utah for his brothers graduation he brought back his "Pop A Shot" double hoop basketball game. Lets just say that when mom was at work dad mounted the backboard to Ryans wall in his bedroom. Yup he has a double basketball hoop in his room. It keeps score and everything. The great part about having it in his room is we know when he is awake. Since Ryan has been in a big boy bed for the last month he can get out and start playing. So we know when we have to go and put him back to bed or pray he will stay in there just a few minutes longer for more shut eye. He loves to see the tractors and any kind of bus as we drive around. He is into giving hugs and kisses and really lets us know when he is hungry. He just climbs into his highchair and patiently waits to be served. He loves his Pugs and likes to ride Chuy as a horse. He is a great helper and loves to feed the dogs their food. He will be going to nursery this Sunday and we are excited for him to start. He loves to talk to Grandma and Papa on the phone. Well, he pretends to talk to them on his pretend phone. He tells us who he wants to call and it seems they are the only people he wants to talk to. He loves swimming and anything to do with water. He could take a bath twenty times a day if we would let him.

As for me I am just kinda boring. Just Kidding. I am about 35 wks along expecting a girl. Maya Isabel Moore. She should be arriving the week of July 14th via c-section. (We will have definite date next week Dianna:) Everything has been good so far right Stela? Anyway, I am still working at the bank and enjoying it being 112 degrees! Not! It will be very nice to be home for the next 3 months and keeping cool with the kids. I love being a mom and wife. Like our motto for now..."We may not have it all together but together we have it all"
