Our little BIG guy

Today we left the hospital. Up until now little Gabriel has been wearing the little shirts that the hospital gave us. Since he peed on two of them when we were changing him, we changed him into something of ours. As you can see he could not quite fill it in. He looks just adorable. We know it wont be long until he fills them. So we will enjoy the fact that he just looks so cute in his new clothes.

LIttle Gabriel is here!!!

Little Gabriel Lucas Guerrero. He arrived at 12:04 AM October 21st, the day of our second wedding anniversary. He weighed 7lbs & 8oz and measured 20 1/2 inches. We adore him and love him so very much. It is hard to explain, but all of you parents out there know what I am talking about.
Erin is doing great! She was able to do it naturally and without any drugs!!!

We were hoping he would come the 20th or earlier, but I think he knew what he was doing and waited four extra minutes to give us the best anniversary present.

He is healthy and there seems to be no problems. I have so many pictures but I can only post this phone picture until we have more time.

Thanks to everyone for their support and love. This is by far the best experience of our lives!

The Latest Picture Update

This is the most recent picture of Erin's belly. I bet little Gabriel is having a pretty good time in there. It is warm and cozy...I think :)

Maybe he will be here this weekend, maybe not! It is so exciting! Every time I receive a text message or a call when I am away ,my stomach turns and my heart starts going so fast with the anticipation that he might be coming!

The Time is Near

The time is near. Little Gabriel could be here any minute now. Although he most likely will wait until his due date, we cannot stop thinking that he might be here earlier. We are under two weeks to go. When I say we, I mean Erin. There has been small contractions and some soreness. It has become a bit difficult to sit or stand for long periods of time. Even with all the change that Erin has experienced, she is just excited and grateful for this blessing and experience, and so am I!

Here are some pictures of Erin and the baby. We have not been really good at taking pictures of her belly, but here are some.



There are some pictures that I still have to add, but I figured I better post the ones I have just in case little Gabe decides to surprise us.

Graduation

I am such a slacker! It has taken me way too long to post about Erin's graduation!!!
With that out of the way;




Erin graduated last month from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health Education. To be precise, she graduated the 14-15 Aug. It was great! We were all very happy and very excited for her. Erin's family and mine were able to attend and celebrated with us.



I am very impressed with Erin. Especially at how hard working she is. She was able to go to school, work, do an internship and be pregnant all at the same time! I don't care who you are, but that is impressive.



Little Gabriel was also present, I can say that my son has gone through a BYU graduation!!!




After graduation we over indulged with insane amounts of meat at Tucanos Brazilian grill. Even though our bodies were screaming afterward, it was a great experience.




Erin, you are amazing and we are so very proud of you!!! Congrats!!!Felicidadez!!!

Happy Birthday Jack!!

Today is my sweet and adorable little nephew's 1st birthday! Little Jack, you're so very cute and even though we don't see you much we love you! Hope you have a great birthday and eat a yummy cupcake for Uncle Gabe and me!

We're Back in the Game!

So after a long hiatus, we're back. We apologize for the absence. Things have been busy! I am running around with my head chopped off (so I feel). I am back in school for summer term, my final semester of college! I am taking a history class from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then I go to English from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Class is Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Then I go to work 1:30 to 6:30 Monday through Thursday. By then I am exhausted, but it's homework time. Thursday mornings I have internship work I do. I only have about 3 full weeks left and then I am actually graduating! I can't believe the end is so near. August 14th and 15th is graduation. Little Gabriel will have done some pretty cool stuff in utero by the time he's born - flown to New Orleans, Disneyland, graduating college! Gabe has been very supportive - he takes me to school every morning and gets me breakfast and snacks ready on most days. What would I do without him?
I have been a serious slacker at taking pics of my progressing belly. But I will post one very soon. I have already had someone ask me if I'm sure I'm not having twins. I think she might have been trying to be nice, but it doesn't really come across that way, especially when I still have a lot of time to grow! I am so grateful for every minute of being able to carry this little guy. Who cares that my back hurts constantly, my right rib seems to ache often, and I find myself having difficulty sleeping many nights? It's so worth it and no matter how uncomfortable things get I will never stop loving and embracing this miracle that has and will change my life forever.

Baby Fingers

Here is the missing picture. When I scanned Little Gabriel's pictures I accidentally forgot to add this one. You can see his little hand really close to his face. We really wanted him to look at us, but he didn't. I guess he is already trying to rebel against his authority figures ;0)

Its a BOY!!!

Little Gabriel's bootty, the rest you can guess ;0)

Same here!(This pictures is how
we knew that he was a boy)

Oh Boy!

It is a boy! A 14 oz. little boy! We had our ultrasound done June 2nd and we were surprised to find out it wasn't a girl. I thought mothers were supposed to have intuition or something... I was so sure it was a girl-I hadn't even looked at boy clothes! But I am so excited to have a boy. And Gabe is ecstatic; he couldn't be happier. We are going to name him Gabriel (middle name still to be decided). I think it feels a little more real for both of us, though it's still very surreal.
I love these ultrasound pictures. I love the first one - he has such a cute little bum! And his arm and leg pictures are so cool. We are so happy he seems to be healthy and strong!
