Feliz Cumple-Semana


Xaris is one week old today!
Where does time go?

She's been wonderful, so far we're not yet feeling too sleep-deprived because she only wakes up twice in the night.  She is full of wiggles and kicks and beautiful smiles.  


Beautiful Smiles!

I, on the other hand, am still slowly recovering.  Turns out I took quite a beating during childbirth, and had to go back to the Dr. yesterday.  Slowly but surely I'll keep getting better, but I'd rather be on my feet and enjoying walks and other fun stuff with my girl!


She's got tongue skills.

Ricardo made it through this last week, poor guy still had to work a lot because finals are next week and he's the coordinator for the math department.  He'll still work next week, but a little less each day, as finals get underway and things start winding down.  Then he's done!  He'll have small things to do each week, but will be mostly free until July 5th!  He's been wonderful at taking care of us, and I can't rave enough about how terrific he was in the hospital during labor, delivery, and recovery--he even brought me flowers in the hospital.  My hero.


Silly Daddy

Here are some more photos of our darling girl.

One Week Old!


Too cute for words.



And while we're on the topic of darling girls, congrats to Judy, who delivered Nory (Eleanor Rose) in under 5 hours of labor (jealous?  Yes!)  We were both due with our girls the same week, so it is exciting that our babies are just a week apart, perhaps they are destined to be best buddies! If only Santa Barbara and Dallas were closer...Congratulations on your beautiful baby Dan and Judy!  Just in time for your first Mother's Day!
