Dante is here!

Well, as most of you know, Dante Francisco de la Fe was born on Saturday, January 24th at 9:47am. He was 7 lbs and 2 ounces and 20 inches long. I started going into labor on Friday night and 13 hours later he was here! We are both so overwhelmed by how amazing he is and how much fun we are having already. So far he has proven to be a very easy baby...wakes every 3 hours at night, eats and falls right back to sleep. I'm getting a lot of help from both of our families and Delafe is extremely helpful from changing him and rocking him to getting me anything I ask for or might need. I'm also getting naps every day while Dante sleeps so I'm still feeling refreashed (ask me how I feel in a few weeks:o)

I'm so glad I had a week off from work before I had him to be with just my husband and my dog. We were able to have a mini vacation together here at home, relaxing, watching movies, going out to eat, and taking Chevy to the dog park. It was such a wonderful end to a great pregnancy.

Here are few pics of a baby boy...enjoy!

Any day now...

I went to the doctor yesterday day for my last sonogram, which is hard to believe its here already since I feel like it was yesterday we first saw "it" on the screen, not knowing what we were going to have yet. The baby is so low in my pelvis that the tech could barely see its head. She said everything looks perfectly in place and that I shouldn't have any problems delivering....which is nice for every new mom to hear. Also I am 1cm dialated already so we are definately on "baby watch" and Delafe is on call from now on. I was planning on working until next Friday, the 23rd but it looks like this Friday will be my last day instead. I'm actually relieved that I don't have waddle through the halls after my 3 year olds anymore.....they're exhausting and my feet tell me this every night. We are as prepared as two new parents can be, with Dante's clothes all washed and put away nicely and diapers already out next to the baby wipes. The car seats are installed in both cars and we even have the highchair out (prematurely). Plan on phone calls sometime in the next week or two telling you that you are now a great uncle/aunt, new aunt or uncle, grandpa/ma, second cousin, etc. I'll post pics as soon as we're home from the hospital and Dante is fed, changed and put to bed, right before my shower and passing out (or so I'm told:o)
