A note of thanks

It has now been 3 weeks and 3 days since Massey was born, I must admit it has been a big change in both of our lives. It's taking some time to adjust but it's alright, it's one of those "good" changes. Massey is such a blessing and he's already teaching us how to be good parents; however, I didn't realized how tiring the job of a mom was. I must admit, that I now love my mom even more.
These last couple of days much has happened, events which have caused us both to reflect on our own lives and have made us realize of the wonderful life what we have. We couldn't be more blessed. We seriously have the best life we could possible have. I truly feel like I'm not allowed to complain. I look forward to the many life experience that await us and hope to have my mom's faith and courage to raise the family which Jordan and I now have.

Now...a quick update on Massey. He had his 3 week visit on Tuesday and I though many of you would enjoy knowing that he now weights 11 lbs 9 oz and is 22 3/4 inches long.
He's about the size of a 2-month old, the doctor said. He couldn't be any healthier!

Finally some pictures!

Well, Hello everyone!

As you can tell from the videos, our bundle of joy finally came and we couldn't be any happier, he's beautiful to us and we love him immensely. I won't talk about my horrible experience of being in labor for 2 days and ending up having a c-section since after seeing his face for the first time, it was definitely worth it. Besides, looking at pictures is more fun! Well finally here are some pictures of our son Massey Rodolfo Anderson, who was born on Feb 25, 08 at 5:57pm, weighed 9 lbs 110z and was 21.5 inches long.

Ready to go out into the crazy world

Simply a proud dad
Massey loves this swing, that sister Reener gave him. Trust me he does love it.

Jordan and I had just given him his first sponge bath, I combed his hair and he looked really handsome.

We thought this picture was super cute, I think he likes our couches.

He likes grandma Olivia

He also likes Abuelita Mara

Check out the length of this baby, I still can't believe he came out of me!

Just cute pictures at the hospital. He's alertness has really surprised us all, it's really awesome.

This is Massey right after being pulled out of the tummy. That's me cutting off the umbilical chord.

Now he meets daddy.

Massey really likes having his hair washed but
hates having his ears washed.

Just some thoughts

I never imagined how hard the last month of pregnancy would be. I can't seem to think about anything else, other than going into labor. I feel good though, I'm trying to stay positive and enjoy these last couple of days. I also couldn't have a better husband than Jordan, he's truly being supportive through out our whole pregnancy, specially these couple of months. I love his spontaneity and sense of humor. I just love everything about him!
Well, I just thought I'd share some of my thoughts since I haven't really contributed much to this amazing blog that my husband has put together. By the way, for those of you that don't know, we've decided to name our son: Massey Rodolfo Anderson, it's official. We know it's a mouth full, and hope Massey likes it, since it's pretty meaningful for us.
Well, I'm going to go make breakfast and hope I go into labor today, since It's my mom's birthday, it would be awesome, even though she'd probably have to miss the surprise hair appointment that sister Carter made for her.
Hope that the next post can have pictures of us in the hospital.
Adios!

Here is a bunch of pictures that Eden took of Ruth and I.
See's very good.

Saturday the 5th was the day of Raquelita's baptism. Mami and papi Garcia were so proud of princess Raquel.
Raquel's baptism was well attended for how nasty it was outside.
The road to ma's and pa's was near impassable. Actually, it wasn't passable for us (and we were in the Montero).
This was outside of Ruth's mom and dad's house after Raquel's baptism. Snow is fun (sometimes)!
