A visit from Auntie Marcy

Sweet Baby Brandon
One Happy Auntie

Marcy and Brandon

A little photo shoot for Marcy

My sister flew down for Thanksgiving this year and we were very lucky to have her stay with us a couple of days. Well I should say Brandon was very lucky to have such a sweet Auntie to hold him all day long and attend to his every need except for feeding of course. These photos of Brandon and Marcy are just like the ones I have of her and Justin. So sweet I think Brandon really misses his Auntie and I know his Auntie misses him. Don't worry the both of you we will see each other at Christmas!!

What I Am Thankful For

These Two Precious Boys
My Family

This holiday is really special for us. We have so much to be thankful for. Our family, our health, friends, and our newest addition......Brandon. We are sure enjoying every minute. Let us all count our blessings and give Thanks!!!

Brandon Is Here

Our Newest Addition
Proud Big Brother


We are pleased to announce the arrival of Brandon Connor Tanimoto. He made his debut on Thursday November 12 at 4:30 in the morning.
My labor was 6 hours from the time my water broke till he arrived. Everything went seamless and the hospital San Antonio in Upland was wonderful. Had my own recovery suite and my experience was remarkable. My labor coaches were great even though the husband fell asleep from being so tired from not having a day off in more thatn two weeks. Rest up dear hubby you will need it. Brandon is doing well and adjusting perfectly. Mom is a little tired but can't complain. Justin is the proud big brother and very protective no one can touch him.....

My Pregnancy

Here is another scrap page that I completed. Wow I love maternity leave before the baby arrives time. I get so much accomplished and feel so happy. Enjoy!!!

Scrap Pages

I am surely enjoying being home and being able to create things like scrapbook pages.

Letter To Our Unborn Son

This is something I wanted to make right before we get to meet you!

The Stork Will Be Here Soon!

The Stork is getting ready! Things are quite busy at the Tanimoto house as you can imagine. I am not sure if we waited to long or just find more to get done, but anyways we are busy. I need to learn to take it easy and not let my blood pressure get high and end up in the hospital like I did a couple of days ago. Nothing is more important than a healthy baby right now!!! I have a hard time relaxing when I see things that need to get taken care of and I want to cross every item on my to do list, but am realizing I just can't. We are also taking a poll to see when Brandon will arrive. Just post it under comments and I will let you know who wins!!! Just please do not pick Friday the 13th ha ha!!!!

Happy Halloween 2009

Aydan,Lucas and Justin
Mario and Harry Potter

Here we are on Halloween 2009. It was a full moon out tonight and was a great night for Trick or Treating! There were lots of kids out tonight with great costumes. All the kids said thank you after giving them candy which was a pleasant surprise. The moms stayed at the houses in our cul de sac and passed out candy, while the dad's walked around from house to house Trick or Treating!. I think this is Justin's favorite holiday due to the candy!!! Good thing I work for a dentist!!!

Baby Brandon in 4D

Baby Brandon 36 weeks

Here I am at 36 weeks just waiting to be born. They say I am already 7.5 pounds and should be 9 something by the time I arrive. I will try to take it easy on my mommy. My foot is already 3 1/2 inches long so I am gearing up to play sports... I can't wait to meet all of you very soon....

Stephanie's Baby shower

Cute Bunny
For Baby Jocelyn

Me and Stephanie

Close ups of our bumps

I went to my good friend Stephanie's baby shower which was held last weekend at the Spaghetti Factory in Riverside,CA. It was so good to see everyone and had a great time. Her younger sister is also pregnant with her first and this is Stephanie's and my second baby. Stephanie is having a girl due in Oct to go along with her son and I will be having another boy to go along with Justin. My mom had made this cute little bunny for her shower but I did not receive it in time to give it to her. So since we are going to her house today for swimming I will surprise her with it.

Dr's appt update

We are now 31 weeks alongeven though we measure 32 and baby is growing like a weed. Well maybe too much growing. They kept asking if I had diabetes because he is huge and I told them after two tests later no diabetes. I asked if they would deliver early and they think no since he still has to mature. So what they are considering is doing a ceserean delivery as a possibility so he will not get stuck coming out. We will find out more in a couple of weeks and see where his growth is at then. I do not know how you get a huge kid when hubby and I are the smallest in our families, but I do have some tall genes on my side.Also I have gained only 9 pounds so far and baby is weighing in at 4.5 lbs. I think he needs to go on a baby diet... I also have to start doing the non fetal stress tests in 3 weeks two times a week oh boy my schedule is going to get busy soon so I am frantically trying to get the boys room done now before I deliver.....

One Fish Two Fish Green Fish Blue Fish

7 1/2 months Along!

Just wanted to share some of the cute things that I have made recently for Brandon. I am getting excited for his fall arrival and could not wait to get the creative juices flowing. I bought some plain white little onsies and decorated them with surfboards and fish since our family loves the beach. They came out cute and can not wait for him to wear these! We are chugging right along with the pregnancy feeling great just hot! Although who isn't these days? Baby Brandon is kicking up a storm and movin and groovin which is a great feeling! I am so pleased how far along we are this time it is meant to be and I finally believe it!

Maternity Tour

Last night Justin my labor coach Sonia and I went to the hospital where I will be delivering and did the Maternity Tour. This was very exciting for Justin he was in the front of the line the whole time looking into rooms, seeing how the beds and rooms turn into a labor room, also checking very intensly at the newborn baby that was in the nursery. She was precious I could not wait till that was us not in labor that is but after all the hard work ha ha.The rooms were all full for it was a full moon the nurse said and when that happens the women go into labor alot of women. I am getting excited to count the weeks left till I get to hold my dear little Brandon whom I have worked so hard for. Only 11 weeks left till you are due and that means only 12 weeks till Thanksgiving is upon us wow the holidays will be here before we know it.

7 Months Pregnant

Whoo Brandon and I have made it to 7 months now. Things are going great! I have only put on a pound and a half. I guess morning sickness was good for something huh? Glucose test came back and we are good no diabetes. Blood pressure a little elevated this time but we will watch it closely. My Ob Dr. is good friends with my Dr. that I work for so I told him it is high because he is stressing me out. He just laughed. We are feeling every little kick swish turn and roll. We are having our Braxton Hicks(warm up labor). Those are always fun when your stomach just tightens when you are in the middle of something. We need to get to the hospital for our Maternity Tour so we know what to do and where to go,but when they have the classes we have to go to AZ to take care of our house becasue of our last wonderful tennent did not... I just finished all my baby shower invitations they came out way too cute. Can't wait for the shower. Of course it is going to be at a Mexican restaurnat that is my favorite food!!! I am hoping for all my prego friends to have an easy and safe delivery with lots of healthy babies. Some of them have only a few weeks left like my cousin Tricia and my friend Shannon. Then pretty soon it will be my turn and yes I am nervous about the delivery where I was not last time... since I did not know what to expect. Oh well we all do it that is us women oh and yes that one man did it too.
