Brandon Jayden Castillo Is Here!!!

I GIVE SMILES - I GIVE KISSES - I GIVE PUNCHES

Well it was rough for mommy, but I'm finally here!!!

My name is Brandon "Jayden" Castillo!! I was born on Saturday, August 9th at EXACTLY 11pm!!!

I was born at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital. I was trying to come out for a while and made my mommy uncomfortable. My daddy was tired and my Grandma Kathy made my mommy walk up and down the hill in our neighborhood.

I was scheduled to come out on 08-08-08 but I wasn't budging! I was enjoying my time in my mommy's belly. I loved the foods she ate, I loved the music she'd sing to me and my daddy read me bedtime stories at night.

On Saturday 8/9, I woke my mom and dad up with a swift kick to mommy's tummy! All of a sudden my home for 9 months was being squeezed!!!

It was time for me to leave!!

I remember mom and dad driving us to the hospital at 6am!! I was told it was a beautiful sunrise that morning!!

We got to the hospital and mommy and I were hooked up to all the funky machines so we can see what I was doing. My daddy was watching and waiting for me to come out. Little by little I was making my way downward, but I forgot how to open the door!!! The doctor kept reaching in, knocking at the door, but I was scared!! I loved it in mommy's tummy but now it was time to go!

I pushed and pushed, then mommy pushed and pushed.... she was in a lot of pain, so she tooke something to make the pain go away. Then..... I think I touched something I wasn't supposed to touch, because then my mommy started to get sick!! The doctors gave her some stuff... then after that, everything was a blur!!

The next thing I know, I can feel the Dr. rubbing my head!!! Then my daddy touched my head!!! I could hear my daddy counting!! 1-2-3-4-5 and so on!! And all of a sudden.... I WAS FREE!!!!!

There was this bright light, and then I began to see some people... It was my daddy!!! He was cutting my cord!! Then I saw my 2 Grandmas!!!

Then I saw my beautiful mommy!!!!!

I was in mommy's tummy like this!!!

Mommy held me, daddy kissed me.... then I was weighed, measured, dressed and spanked a few times!! Remember, I was pretty woozy from all the stuff mommy was on!!!

Oh, by the way, I weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and I was 19 inches long!!



Later me, mommy and daddy went to our suite!! I was tired... and so was mommy and daddy!!!

I LOVE MY DADDY!

The End!!!

Baby bullfrog baby shower.... June 21st 2008

Hi Everyone,
so much has gone by.... so we were aiming to have baby bullfrog on August 8, 2008, this is how it went. Back in June 21st Mom Mejia threw us a baby shower for baby bullfrog. It was a great turn-out, all our friends and family made it out even though the weather wasn't cooperating and it was a scorching 105 or so degrees that day. Thank you all for coming and for bringing all those great gifts for baby. Here are some pix of that that day.




Now I can say I have a month or so to go and soon baby will be here.

Our new baby boy...coming in August

Hi all,

This is Diana...mommy to be....so now you know...we're having a baby boy! I can't wait to hold my little boy.

Wow, Daddy to be imagines himself with little baby JB playing baseball and doing all the boy things. Oh, he also thinks he has a little helper, to help mow the lawn and pull weeds...ha ha...we'll let him keep thinking that.

So we had our ultrasound visit on Friday 3-21-08. We didn't expect it but we had a 3-D ultrasound done...those are the BEST. We can see everything in detail...and I mean everything. So we are preaty confident that it will be a boy for sure.

Here are some pics!!!

We love our boy!!

End Of Week 17!!! Sex Coming Soon!!!

OK calm down... the "sex coming soon" means that in a couple of weeks we'll get to find out whether or not we're having a boy or a girl!!!!

Diana is beginning to think she feels the baby moving around in there!! In fact he/she is, it's just now she's noticing more "butterflies"!

Our old high school friend got married over the weekend and Diana was so happy to get all dolled up in a pretty dress!! Later on this week we're heading to Indian Wells for the weekend, and she's looking forward to a nice massage.

I'm looking forward to a nice round of golf!

Diana Looking As Beautiful As Ever!!

Growing, Growing, Growing!!! Week 15!

Take my picture!!!

That's all she's been sayin' for the last few days, and finally, here it is! Diana is growing!!

Baby is giving her stomach butterflies!! She can't feel the baby moving, but she occasionally gets that funny tummy feeling!

Hopefully we'll find out the baby's sex in a couple of weeks!!! Any bets??

Official 12 Week Photo!!!

Brandon here...... let me first say how happy we both are from all the support we've been getting from family and friends! We love all the love and free advice!!

Now to the picture here.

Diana's been bugging and bugging me to take a picture of her showing off her baby belly bump. Finally I took one!! Problem is, she'll probably take one look at this and say how much she hates it!! Do women ever like any picture of themselves??

I personally think she looks as beautiful as the first day we met back in high school. I've always dreamed of the day when I would see Diana in a picture..... pregnant!

My dream has come true!

Bye for now.....

12 Weeks!!!!

Well we made it!!!! Baby is 12 weeks old!!!

We went in for a visit with our new OBGYN at Loma Linda and she's wonderful.

She answered all our questions and assured us that everything is A-Okay!!! For now!

So today's ultrasound revealed a very active baby!!! We first thought that he/she was having a case of the hiccups! The Dr. assured us that he/she was just movin' around!!

It was so cool to see! We could make out the legs, hands and fingers!!

Here's a pic!

Here's some videos of the Ultrasound!
