Firsts

Well we are all about "firsts" these days. There are going to be a lot of them.

Here's a few......

Enrique's first day of his second year of dental school.

Enriquito's first Sunday at church with Mom.

(This is not the church, we were just leaving.)

First Sunday- picture with Dad.

First family picture! We took this with the photo booth option on our computer.

That is why it looks a little awkward.

baila!

You might think according to this post title that we have been out dancing. That is not the case. You will see why that is the title when you scroll down to the bottom. Here are a few pictures of what we have been doing.

This is a picture of our first family vacation. We went to Galena Illinois. It is a cute little old town. It kind of reminded us of Park City.

Enrique took this picture and he was very proud that he got Enriquito to look at the camera.

Our baby loves....

Enriquito loves his swing. He will sleep in this until we wake him up!

He loves his baths! Enrique loves to give Enriquito a bath and thinks it should be done daily so I let him do it.

I am not sure who enjoys bath time more, Enrique or Enriquito?

Our baby also loves...

the Hawkeyes and is excited to watch some football games with his Daddy this year.

What an eventful first couple of weeks! Enrique was born Wednesday morning and we were sent home from the hospital Friday afternoon. Sunday, I got starting getting really sick. I got the chills and a really high fever. Enrique took me back to the hospital and they re admitted me. We thought we would only be there over night but I ended up staying an entire week! They found bacteria in my blood, urine, kidney and they think uterus. They had me hooked up to an IV at all times to pump me full antibiotics. Unfortunately that didn't solve the problem. I continued to get really high fevers and chills which really really sucked. So they decided that I probably had something else. They then decided I had a blood clot in my ovarian vein. So I am on a blood thinner. Enrique has to give me a shot every night. I hate it. I think about it all day long and dread it.

Anyway, I am feeling a ton better and glad to be home with my baby!

My mom giving Enriquito a bath. She was a ton of help. We are so glad she was here to help us!

I love this picture!

One of the best pizza places in town. This was Grammy's last night with us.

Enrique thinks Enriquito likes to sit like this. I am not so sure...

Goodbye Grammy! We will miss you!

Welcome Enrique Jesse!

Well it has been a long few days. Our little angel has finally arrived. He is beautiful and healthy. We are so excited to have him as part of our family. He has only been with us a couple of days and already I can't think of our lives without him.

He was born July 21st at 2:21 am.
Weighed 7.95 lbs
20 inches long

Today is the day- or maybe tomorrow or the next...

So, I am officially I week over due which I think is totally unfair. I have served my time and it is now time to get the baby out. I am going to the hospital tonight at 8:00 pm for them to begin inducing me. Apparently since my body is not ready ( I don't know why, it has had plenty of time to get ready!) it may take a couple of days. Anyway, I should have the baby by Tuesday night or Wednesday sometime. I will post pictures as soon as I can! We can't wait to meet this little guy!

40 Weeks!

No, that is not a big red balloon. That is just my huge belly.

Ok, little Enrique, today is suppose to be your birthday. Please come out and play! I promise you will like it out here. Just come out..... Please!

Last night I spaghetti and lemon poppy seed muffins for dinner. A couple of friends told me it can put you into labor. I woke up last night with a contraction but it didn't last long and there were no more the rest of the night. Ok, getting really discouraged. I know 3 girls that were due after me and they have already had their babies. Seriously, it is time.

Come out.
