Travis and line +2

That's right. We welcomed our second baby boy on January 10th, 2014 at 10:43pm. Weighing 6 pounds 4 ounces, with the height of 19 inches! We decided to name him after Travis's older brother Timothy Ivan Peni. 

Having a VBAC was absolutley no joke, but definitely worth all the long pain and suffering. It has made me appreciate being a mother, and all the crazy whacko things we can do with our body...have kids, and feed them milk...and be all the TLC in between. That's definitely something only a mother can do. 

So far, I've been getting use to having two kids and just trying to manage out everything. 'Me Time' just doesn't exist anymore...Neither does peace, quiet, sleep, or clean clothes! But I wouldn't want it any other way. Having another baby boy just excites me as to what is in store for our future as a growing family.  My boys are my life, and I'm grateful that they came into this world very healthy.

As our little family grows, so does my love for this gospel. It's definitely has kept me sane through the rough times, and humble through the good times. It's always good to be able to rely on something that progresses a family to become better. 

I'm excited to see my boys grow up together. To be the best of friends, and everything in between.

A pregnant lady's rant...

What do I need to do to go into labor faster?!?!

Well, after doing all the wacky tricks that I have tried everyday this past week...some tricks made me run to the bathroom more than it actually help me go into labor, I have finally come down to a solution...

To go into labor faster, I need patience[insert disgusted face here] 
AINT NO PREGNANT MOMMA GOT THE TIME FO'DAT! Hahaha.

As the last 2 weeks unwind, and as I anxiously await for my second child to be here- time seems to be going by super slow...and when I mean slow, I mean I have no contractions what so-ever, NOTHING. 

I think I'm more excited of seeing my son have a sibling, because I know how it feels like to have sibs of my own. They are your very first best friends and worst enemies all at once! I happen to be all my sibs worst enemy....hmm.

As bittersweet as it is to have Fa'amoana not be the only child anymore, I am excited to see him play a new roll, which is being an older brother...As spoiled as he is, I figured it's going to take a couple months, years......maybe centuries, but I know he will...well, eventually be the bestest older sibling to his brother! 

I'm excited for 2014 to start off with a bang........of patience! Hahaha, I am just too excited for what this year has in store for my little family of four! 

Happy new year family and friends!
