Funny Faces of Cami's Third Month

Cami's Second Month-All the Funny Faces!

This month has been much more eventful than the first one. Camu has begun to suck on her hand-ALOT, she raises her head when she's on her stomach, follows me around with her eyes...no, babies are NOT blind :-P and she began to get some good color! She also got the honor of getting her first cold this month. Disclaimer: Babies hate to have their noses aspirated, uhhh...

Cami's First Month

It feels like she's been here all long. She basically eats, sleeps and poops. Some nights are worse than others but it's worth it. She had a little bit of jaundice but it was very minimal and went away on it's own. She is gaining weight steadily and growing. More to come...

The Best Day of Our Lives/El Mejor Dia de Nuestras Vidas

Camila Iliani Quero was born on June 1, 2009. It was a very special and nerve racking day for me as you can imagine. The contractions began at approximately 4:00 am, I thought they were just cramps! They got stronger and stronger and we went to the hospital at 2 pm, just to be told that I was only dilated to 2 cm, and was sent back home with a serious shot of morphine to wait out the pain. Jos, JQ and I went back home and I walked a couple of laps around the apartment complex to make the contractions intensify. Finally by 10pm I couldn't take it anymore and we went back to the hospital and I was at 4 cm so they let me stay! I got a shot of pitosin and the wonderful epidural and took a nap (I know, who does that!) By 6 am I started pushing and it only took about 50 mins (would have been shorter if Dr. Broadbent had gotten there a LITTLE SOONER). The funny thing was that Jonathan would not look below my neck! He just counted 1, 2, 3...9,10 and looked straight at me. Jos, on the other hand was a trooper, she witnessed the epidural and birthing! Finally, our little bundle of joy was born! I was so scared because everyone just kept commenting on how much hair she had, I just thought "woah, did I give birth to a little monkey!". On the contrary, she was the cutest, pale-est little thing I ever and I give thanks that she was born super healthy and beautiful.
