More pictures

These are some new pictures of Camila. She is doing quite well, actually. She has regained her birth weight (and then some) in just a couple of weeks. The pediatrician found her in good shape. As for sleeping thru the night, well, it is still a work in progress, but I guess she is getting better at it. We'll see... Oh, these pictures are with Grandma and Grandpa Nelson, and Grandma Nunez, plus mom and dad. The other two pictures are a couple "just chilling" ones.

first bath

Here are 2 pics from her first bath. We all survived!

Going home

Camila finally left the hospital on Friday. Her doctor wanted her to stay a little longer because she had jaundice, so we spent Thursday night in the Peds unit. We came home at noon on Friday. Fortunately, she seems to like her car seat. Last night was our first night at home; we survived. Mom and dad are just a little tired (of course Camila is sleeping right now at almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so we are wondering how tonight will turn out to be)

Welcome Camila!

37 weeks

OK, our computer is SUPER slow, so I'm about ready to give up posting today. I've been here for an hour and have only done 3 posts! So, this will be quick. :) Here's a picture of me at 37 weeks. I had a rough week prior (36 weeks - tired, backaches, etc) but weeks 37& 38 were actually pretty good. Hopefully we'll get a picture of me at 39 weeks posted this week! I can't believe it's only a week until my due date. My OB doesn't think I'll go late, and there's been a couple of times where I thought "this is it!" but nothing yet. Still at home, and trying to decide what to do this weekend. Probably another trip to Babies R Us, and hopefully a movie!

Shower in Quito

Obviously I wasn't there :) but Fabricio's mom had a shower in Quito for us. The ladies had a lot of fun eating cake, drinking coffee, talking about the baby and Rita's upcoming trip (she arrives to MN on Oct 23). Below are a few pictures of the shower.

Shower

A couple of weeks ago I had a shower with friends from high school & college and some of their moms. I had a great time talking with everyone, opening the cute baby gifts, and eating the food - especially the desserts! :) Too bad it was a super hot day, but Anna turned on the AC so we wouldn't overheat - and I even ended up having a fan blow towards me! :o

Melissa, me, and Mom

Here's a picture of the girls and moms that came. I enjoyed this aspect of the baby shower - moms and their daughters at a party for me and my soon-to-be-here daughter. :)
