Pictures from Friday the big day!

My water broke at 7am just as Nick was getting ready for work. He called out of work and we went to Kaiser. I was in labor for hours and could not dialate past 6 cm. So I was told I would need a c-section.

Nick as always was joking around and excited the whole time that he was about to be a dad.



Getting oxygen before the surgery.

Ready to meet his son!

My baby boy!

Kissing him for the first time.

Bonding with Nick right away.

From the moment my water broke I called my sister Roni and my parents who came to the hospital and sat with us all day as we waited for Marley.

Black Friday

Nick and I had an awesome Thanksgiving yesterday. We had lunch at Veronicas house with her inlaws and my parents and we were home by 4:30 taking a nap. We then went to Santa ana to our friend Victors house to have dinner. We were home by 10pm and I was in bed by 10:15. I feel like we didn't over do it eating this year which is a good thing and I started the morning off by going to the gym and walking a few miles to encourage Marley to come out already. Nick and I are both anxious for the arrival of Marley and everyday I wake up thinking is it going to be today?! I pray that I am not one of those women who go past the due date. My plan is just to keep walking everday. I want to be as strong as possible for the labor and delivery.

Cross your fingers everyone! Send us your positive vibes!

4d Ultrasound

38 weeks tomorrow!

What a cutie!

Heartbeat

I went with my mom, Veronica, and Ethan today to get a 4d ultrasound. We were suprised we were able to see anything because Marley is already so big and ussually by this time it can be hard to get a clear picture. I actually got 40 pictures of his face looking all cute and chubby. We even got a dvd of the whole session and some print outs. From what we could see Marley is running out space and he has a full head of hair. I had a Dr. appointment today and I am already dialated to 1cm which is a good sign that Marley is coming soon. He has dropped and is at a -2 in my pelvis. I am so excited and I am looking forward to meeting my little bu.
