The Milestones Begin...

Just a short post to let you all know that this morning when I went to bath Felipe I noticed that his umbilical stump had fallen off... Before anyone asks... Yes I did save it.

I will post an UPDATE on Thursday after I come back from the Pediatrician appointment.

I'm baaaack!!!!

Sorry for the delay in posting but it is quite hectic to have a newborn who is breastfeeding every 2 hours... By the time I put him down he is almost ready for his next feeding.

Visit Felipe Ignacio's Photo Gallery.

I would like to thank Amanda for her awesome post with all of Felipe's Birth Stats.

Since I am really busy I will continue to post more details about the trip to the hospital another day...

He's Here!!

Felipe Ignacio Simó was born on July 26 at 3:56AM. He weighs 6 pounds, 14 ounces and is 19-1/2 inches long. Mommy, daddy and baby are all doing great! I went to see him this morning, and he was awake and feeding. During the extent of my visit he opened his eyes a few times, yawned, let out a couple of little cries, and sneezed about four times. So active already. =)

Welcome, little guy! We are so glad you're finally here!

On his way!

Hi everybody, Titi Amanda here. Lilli left me keys to the place so that I could let you all know when our much-awaited dear Felipe would be arriving. Adrian called us about 45 minutes ago that they are at the hospital. Lilli is about 3 centimeters dilated and contractions are approximately 7 minutes apart. I estimate this kiddo will be born de madrugada, so I'll update in the morning. I've already put my camera in my purse in case I can go by the hospital before heading off to work.
YAY, he's almost here!!

Almost 40 weeks....

Just got back from my doctor appointment and everything is going GREAT!!! The baby's heartbeat is very strong and I am gaining just the right amount of weight... I have gained only a total of 24 lbs.

I have GOOD NEWS.... I already 2 to 3 cm dilated so I guess any day now Felipe Ignacio could make his grand arrival.

I will post more updates as they become available.... Also once the baby is born I will be creating a website for Felipe so I can constantly upload pictures for your viewing pleasure. I will be emailing the link to the site once it is up and running.

Still Waiting for Felipe Ignacio

Just got back from my doctor appointment... Everything is going OK. The baby has apparently dropped a bit but there is still no sign that he will be making his grand arrival any time soon.

They did a sonogram and they estimate his current weight to be 6lbs 13oz. The tech said that Felipe can be born anywhere between 1lb more or less than his current estimated weight.

I am hoping for a 7lb baby... I rather he grow once he is on the outside.

Sorry there are no pictures but he is too big to get a good ultrasound photo and I just haven't taken any of myself lately...

3 more weeks to go....

I just got back from the doctor's office and she told me that everything seems to be right on schedule. As of right now my due date still stands so I am REALLY SORRY to those that guessed I would be having the baby this week....

I will keep you posted on any changes as they occur.
