Well I can't believe how much Joshua is growing! I will the baby pictures/ family pictures soon that we had done over Conference Weekend. We went up to my parents house for Conference. and had a very enjoyable time. It really stood out to me how many talks were about teaching your children from a very young age about the gospel and the importance of the scriptures. Ivan and I went out for a little birthday date on Saturday between sessions. We went to Maddox since we were up in Brigham and Ivan and I both really like their food. Then mom, Heather and I hung out at home with my two little boys while the men went to the Priesthood session.
Sunday my mom made me a three layer German Chocolate cake for my birthday. It was really yummy.
This week my mom came down to Salt Lake and took me shopping for my birthday. We had a fun time, and we also took the boys to Wheeler Farm. It is a lot of fun for any of you who haven't been there before, and it's free. Jacob loved seeing the animals and feeding the ducks. We went to Paradise bakery for lunch, which was very yummy.
This weekend I went down to visit Cami in Ephraim, and took the two boys. We went down Friday and Cami cut and highlighted my hair. This was a big step for me since I had never put any color in my hair before, but it turned out really cute. (will post pictures soon). She also gave me a pedicure which was a nice treat that I don't think I had had done for about two years. We had a lot of fun with Cami, and we headed home about 10:30 Saturday. When I got home my nice husband had cleaned the house, and folded the laudry, what a great guy.

holding hands
The other day I was in the kitchen washing dishes and I walked around the corner to see Jacob laying on the couch next to sleeping Joshua holding both of his hands. It was so cute. Jacob can't get enough of Joshua. When Jacob and I are playing and he hears the slightest noise come from Joshua sleeping in the other room he says "Bebe vamos!" (baby let's go!) he loves to help Joshua, and hold him. When we are riding in the car if Joshua starts crying Jacob will say "it's okay bebe, it's okay"

Joshua Marcelo Antezano
This labor was quicker than the first. I was induced with this labor, mainly because of the problem of the enlarged kidneys. I expected with labor to be longer since I was induced, but that wasn't the case. We got to the hospital at about 8am. They started the pitocin at 9am. A doctor came to break my water at 10:30 and I had contractions every 3-5 minutes from 10:30 to 11:30. At 11:30 they told me I was at a 7+, almost 8. I thought it would be a few more hours and didn't think I could handle the contractions that long. They gave me the epidural and 10 minues later I felt like I needed to push. They told me I needed to wait for my Dr to arrive. He got there about a half hour later, and Joshua was born within 10 minutes of him arriving. Joshua looks almost identical to Jacob when he was a newborn. He was born March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) and weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He is doing well. We feel really blessed that he didn't have to stay in the hospital longer than normal with the kidney problem he has. He will be seeing a pediatric urologist up at Primary's in the near future for follow ups. Here are some pictures of our new arrival:

our cute 2 year old
So this should have been posted about a month ago but we now have a two year old. He is so sweet. We had a fun birthday party for him - we went to the Fairmont Aquatic Center with some of my family (I'll post pics soon the camera is already in the overnight bag we have packed for the hospital). We took him to Build a Bear on his birthday and he made a cute dog. He loves to sleep with it tucked under his arm. He says the cutest things lately. When we are driving in the car he loves to look for trucks, any kind of truck is fascinating to him. He says Mom! look truck, mom truck! or Mom train! (when he sees the trax), or Mom Bus! He is also learning the colors and he loves orange and yellow. He loves to point out things that are different colors. Kids are so fun, we love our little boy, and are ANXIOUSLY awaiting the birth of our new little boy. Maybe he'll come this weekend if we're lucky: ) But for the mean time we'll enjoy our time alone with Jacob.

chocolate cake in a cup, and a baby coming up
First of all for the chocolate cake in a cup:
They taught us how to do this last night at Enrichment Meeting. It works best in a wide mug that will hold about 12 - 16 oz.
4 T. flour
4T. sugar
2 T. baking cocoa
1 egg
3 T milk
3 T oil
a few drops of vanilla
handful of chocolate chips
Directions:
Spray cup with pam. Add dry ingredients to mug mix well. Add egg mix thoroughly. Pour milk and oil and mix well. Set mug in microwave and cook for 2.5 minutes. Cake will rise over the top of mug so watch carefully and don't over do it. It's delicious chocolate cake from scratch in less than 5 minutes!
Baby on the way:
So I went for another ultrasound today (I have them every two weeks). The baby's kidney's at the last ultrasound were 20mm (right) and 25 (mm) left. Today only two weeks later they were 37mm (right) and 42(mm) left. The good news was that the amniotic fluid levels were normal, which means they kidneys are functioning. I couldn't believe they had grown so much in so little time! The doctor that was in the maternal fetal medicine area today said that she was worried with how fast the kidney's had grown in the last two weeks, she left and spoke with some other doctors. When she returned she said it looks like we need to deliver you at 36 weeks (1 1/2 weeks away) or at the very latest 37 weeks. I would like to make it to 36 weeks, but we'll have to see what will be best for our little Joshua. Most of all I really don't want to have a c-section. So I hope that when I'm induced things go smoothly.

Grateful for many prayers
So I haven't posted in a while. January was a pretty stressful month. We were told at the end of December that our baby's kidney problem is getting worse. He has hydronephrosis which means "too much fluid in the kidney". My little boy Jacob has the same issue, but his was never severe and they say that he will probably grow out of it in a couple of years.
As for the new baby at the end of January his left kidney was about 4 times the size of his right kidney. The doctor that saw me after the ultrasound said that I would need to start having ultrasounds every two weeks so that they could check the levels of the amniotic fluid. The level of the amniotic fluid shows if the kidneys are functioning properly or not. She said if things got worse that I would probably have to deliver at 32 weeks. That made me really scared. I had an appointment with my OB the following week, and I was hoping he would give me some more positive news, but he said that he would have to rely on what the next ultrasound showed before he could really tell me anything significant. I had a preisthood blessing, and many friends and family prayed for us (thanks!) and at the ultrasound the next week the left kidney had slowed down in it's growth (a miracle!) but the right kidney had almost caught up to it in size. The best news was that the amniotic fluid levels were all normal. I've also met with the pediatric urologist up at Primary's that Jacob sees once a year, to see what kind of procedures we are looking at for our new little baby after he is born. All in all things are looking up. I still have to have ultrasounds every two weeks. I am 33 weeks now, and we are very grateful that our little guy didn't have to be born at 32 weeks. This week they are going to give me steriod shots to help the baby's lungs develop faster, so that if he comes early he will still be able to breathe on his own. Wow the miracles of modern medicine, but more important than that the miracles that have accompanied our seemingly endless prayers for a healthy baby.
