Week 1 - DONE

Mom and Dad brought home this little squealing rat a few days ago...  It's been a full week now, and it shows no signs of going away.  I think that I'm stuck with it.  Luckily, Mom's family is here right now, so I can drool on them for a while, and they pay attention to me.  For some reason, Mom and Dad are busy drooling over this little raton (I think they call it Isabella).  She is actually kind of like me....  She sleeps most of the day, only waking up to get some food and stretch her arms.  Hmmm, maybe I can get to like this little thing.  

I'm posting a picture of her with Mom and Dad to show you how much prettier I am than her.  I mean, seriously...  Who would wear purple bows?  

Bienvenida Isabella - Welcome Isabella

Isabella nació a las 2:01 pm. Pesó 3200 gms y midió 45 cms. Mamá y papá están felices.

Isabella was born at 2:01 pm. She weighed 7 lb 1 oz and was 18 inches long. Mom and dad are very happy.

Happy B-Day! - Feliz Cumpleaños!

Dad celebrated his b-day today. Mom and Dad spent the day together working in the bathroom and ate indian buffet for lunch. The bathroom is progressing very nicely. As long as Isabella stays in mom's belly, dad thinks he will be done with the shower tomorrow. Dad should get his wish.

Papá celebró su cumpleaños hoy. Mamá y Papá pasaron el día juntos trabajando en el baño y comieron buffet de comida india al almuerzo. El baño está avanzando muy bien. Siempre y cuando Isabella se quede en la panza de mamá, papá cree que ya mañana termina con la ducha. A papá se le debe cumplir su deseo.

Foto Updates - Fotos Actualizadas

La foto de arriba es de la semana pasada a las 35 semanas y la de abajo es la de hoy - The top picture is last week's at 35 weeks, the bottom one was taken today.

Mom is currently 3 cm and 90% effaced - Mamá está dilatada 3 cms y con 90% de borramiento de cuello uterino.

We all hope Isabella will hold off until the 27th...but nobody knows if she will.

Todos queremos que Isabella espere hasta el 27...pero nadie sabe si lo va a hacer.

New ride for Isabella - Nueva nave para Isabella

No me refiero al Corolla, sino al Maclaren que le dió de regalo el Champi, la Muma y Tontalia. Mamá y papá están muy agradecidos, yo me intenté subir en el coche, pero no me dejaron. Yo no entiendo por qué a esa pelota en la panza de mi mamá le dan todas las cosas chéveres y a mi sólo me dan un nuevo tapete de $10? Esto me hace pensar que de ahora en adelante las cosas no van a ser justas...Seriamente!

I don't mean the Corolla, I mean Isabella's new ride... The McLaren. My Grandpa Lucho, Grandma Angela, and my aunt Natalia got her the stroller. I wanted to ride in it, but Mom and Dad didn't let me. Why is it that this little ball in Mom's tummy gets all the cool stuff, and I just get a new $10 kennel liner? Something tells me that this isn't going to be fair... I mean, seriously, throw me a bone here (literally!)....

Champi!!!!

Pude ver a Champi este fin de semana. Siempre es una delicia cuando el viene a vernos aunque sea por uno o dos días. Mami y papi estaban felices de verlo también. Mamá dice que Isabella ya lo debe querer pues no hizo sino moverse muchísimo mientras él estaba de visita.

Esta es una de las fotos que papá tomó esta mañana. Como podrán ver el verano y las 36 semanas de embarazo se le están notando bastante a mamá pues está hinchada como un pez globo.

I got to see Champi this weekend. As always it is SOOOOO nice to have him stop by even if it is for just one day or two. Mom and dad were both very happy to see him as well. Mom said Isabella must have liked him too because she was kicking mom a lot while he was here.

Here is a picture dad took this morning, you can tell the summer and the 36 weeks of pregnancy are taking a toll on Mom since she is puffy as a blow fish.

The end of an era - El fin de una era

Today mom and dad said good-bye to their trusty pink Corolla. They did so with mixed feelings. I'm including a picture of their new Corolla, as you can see this time it's gray.



Hoy mamá y papá se despidieron del Corollita. Mamá lo abrazó y le agradeció lo buen carrito que fue por tantos años. Ahora pueden ver el Corolla nuevo, esta vez es gris.
