Momma's Birthday events...

Today was a great day! Noah and daddy told me to reserve Saturday as they had plans for me. They told me to be ready at a certain time and then they drove me away! I was so surprised when they dropped me off for a break from mommy duties to get a manicure and pedicure with my manicurist since six years ago in Seattle. She actually ran out to the car to see the baby...it was cute. Anyway...it was such a nice and super sweet surprise! I relaxed for a whole hour and then the two men in my life came back to pick me up. Omar then had cake...ice cream cake - YUM...and dinner for me and his family stopped by. It was a really nice day with my family! Thank you my great husband!

Hi Daddy!

Update on baby and mom...after 8 days

An update from momma...finally! Noah is just over a week now and doing well...after our diarrhea scare. He is overall a calm baby boy who likes to sleep, eat, and leave us gifts in his diaper! We went for another checkup today and he is healthy...having gained 12oz. since our visit on Friday. Baby Noah loves being talked to...and he will just gaze into your eyes with his big dark eyes that makes me melt everytime! He has the darkest, silkiest hair - we are curious to see if it will get curly eventually or stay straight like mine.

Mom has been recovering...it has been slow - I had a good day yesterday but I think I over-exherted myself sometime this morning because I am very sore and achy today, daddy picked up a little more with Noah because I was in a lot of pain. Daddy has been great...we don't know what we would do without him! He takes care of both of us with so much love and care...he amazes me everyday, and I couldn't ask for anything more. I am very grateful for my family.

Yawning but not sleeping yet Momma and Noah

Back to the hospital.

We are going to head out to the hospital in about 15 minutes. We are to be there at 10:00. We are having a quick breakfast and get there.

Creeping up on 40th week...

It's Thursday night...family just got done watching a new episode of Lost....and we just have more questions. We are enjoying the show while we can because we will be on baby's schedule soon - or so I hope! I am nearing the 40th week....and I haven't had any strong contractions in about a week - nothing that has caught my attention anyway. I am just so anxious to see our little guy...he's just not coming fast enough. His auntie is scheduled to come into this world tomorrow by c-section, and if there is no activity tonight then we hope to go visit her in Seattle. That's if I'm very motivated to ride the bus to meet daddy! I am at the point where I cannot sit for very long...and an hour bus ride isn't the greatest right now. We'll try our best though. Mom and baby will continue to keep you posted of how we are doing. Keep checking back!

Two pregos two babies.

39 weeks

Baby Bear is almost here, we are all dreaming about him. My dad had a dream he got in a fight with his cousin because he dropped baby bear in the water. Mom (Alvarado) dreamed that she had a nursery ready for the baby. Fatima also dreamed him. My sister Yuri also dreamed a light dimpled baby.

Momma (Cindy) has been feeling contractions and her feet are getting swollen. She has been feeling lots of pressure on her pelvis area, she takes baths every night to lower the pressure. Cindy keeps waking up during the night because of discomfort sleeping. She can hardly move around.
We had an appointment last Thursday, baby is ready and on the right position. He's been very active when I read him stories every night. We got him a few books and we read to him in Spanish and English.

Everything is back to normal... for now.

So since yesterday's scare we did a lot of work we finally packed for momma. A little suitcase with the essentials for the delivery. Toiletries, robe, and a change of clothes for the way back home. We also purchased some more clothes and hats for the baby. We will have a live birthday broadcasted the day of the birth. (I hope I remember the camera).
