WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU LITTLE ONE!

THE GIFTS JUST KEEP ON COMING

TOADY WE RECEIVED YET ANOTHER PACKAGE IN THE MAIL FROM OUR FRIENDS IN HAWAII.  LOTS OF ADORABLE CLOTES, A GIFT CARD TO BABIES-R-US, AND MY FAVORITE AND THE MOST CUTE GIFT WE HAVE RECEIVED...THE DISNEY HANGERS...THEY ARE SO CUTE AND WE LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE AMAZING GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT AS WE BEGIN THIS NEXT JOURNEY.  JOCLYN AND CHIRS AND WHOLE FIESTA FAMILY, WE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.

TIGER IN THE PLAY PEN

Johnny's Grandparents, not only gave us the most beautiful crib they also gave the baby a big tiger to protect him from any dangers that may find there way into his room at night.  He is sleeping  in the pack and play that was bought for us to keep in the room during the first few months.  Thank you to Jessica, Isaac, Emma, and Joe (Joey's mom and dad and sister and brother in law)  for the pack and play temporary crib.  Now we just have to hope that the Tiger is willing to share once the baby gets here.  He sure looks cozy, and about to snooze for a while,  Emma can he share the couch with you for daily naps?

More Shower Pictures!!

My Grandpa got to meet Marisa Maez.  She is a news anchor in New Mexico and a friend of ours. He could not have been more excited.  

THE SHOWER

We flew Alicia in this weekend to attend the baby shower.  Wow what an amazing day it was.  We are so lucky to be surrounded with all this love.  We can't thank you all enough for sharing this amazing journey with us.

The Room...

Joey has been working so hard on getting the room ready for its new tenant.

As you can see we also received a box of surprises from Keri and Matt all the way from Illinois. Thank you both for all the wonderful gifts.  We feel so lucky to have so much wonderful support through this journey.

I really can't wait to put the shark towel on him.

HOW LUCKY WE ARE!

We want to thank Jennifer and Billy for the amazing gift they brought to us this past weekend. How lucky are we to live next door to such amazing and generous people.

Thank you both so much from the bottom of our hearts!

As you can see things are moving along very fast!!!!! Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.

The room transformation has begun.

Joey is adding clay to the walls, and I put the crib together.

We are so lucky that my grandparents bought the crib and mattress for us.  What an amazing surprise that was.
