The long awaited update

Felipe Ignacio has been very busy this past month...

Felipe has been going on daily walks around our property with his daddy to cure his jaundice... He really loves being outdoors so their walks are very enjoyable for him.

He has already gone to visit both his grandmothers. He even tried shooting pool with his daddy but he fell asleep before it was his turn.

I had cabin fever a few weeks ago so we all went to Dolphin Mall to walk around... Apparently Felipe Ignacio was not bothered by all the noise because he slept the whole time that we were there.

On the day of his 1 month birthday he went to the Miami Children's Museum to his very first birthday party. Everyone was super happy to see him at the party because until the last minute I was not sure if I would take him.

On Monday he had his one-month checkup and the doctor found him in very good health. He is in the 45 percentile for weight (8lbs 8oz) and 55 percentile for height (22 inches).

Yesterday we went to the Dolphin Mall once again but this time we went to the movies. That is right Felipe Ignacio has gone to his first movie. We went to see Mr. Bean's Holiday.

I will post more updates soon....

Happy 1 month Birthday

Today Felipe Ignacio turns one month old... He has been a busy little boy growing and enjoying life to the fullest.

I will post more details about his first month tomorrow after I get back from his one-month checkup....

Quick Trip to the Hospital gave me a Baby Boy

Now I will tell you all the important pre-birth details...

Earlier Wednesday I had a doctors appointment but I never thought that at night I would be at the hospital with contractions.

I went to work after my appointment and apparently I was having contractions all day but due to my lack of pregnancy experience I thought they were just cramps from the exam that I had at the doctors office.

When I left work I started having different kinds of "CRAMPS" but this time I noticed that they were coming rhythmically and that they were 5 minutes apart. At this moment I realized that Felipe was ready to make his grand arrival.

When I got home and got out of the car, I felt a small release of fluid so I thought that my water had broken, but apparently I had just lost my mucous plug.

We were suppose to go to my mother-in-law's house that night but that didn't happen. I called my doctor's office and the doctor told me to head to Kendall Regional. Luckily the hospital is only 3 minutes away. I was admitted and taken to a Birthing Room.

The contractions starting getting worse as time progressed but I didn't want to get the epidural

Felipe's First Pediatrician Appointment

Just got back from Felipe's Pediatrician's Appointment...

Felipe is now weighing 7lbs 1oz and is measuring 21 inches.

Pretty soon my son will be taller than me.

My precious little boy is doing great and the doctor needs to see him again in 3 weeks.

I will continue to post periodically as much as I can.

Til next time...
