Baby Pictures

Can't explain what it feels like to be a parent yet, part of it cause it hasn't quite hit us yet and also because we are still in survival mode trying to adapt to baby's sleeping/eating/pooping schedule. All I can say is that you truly think that this is the most beautiful child and that every single gesture they make is adorable (except the screaming at the top of lungs sort of crying in the middle of the nigth, then you are just feeling bewildered) Here are some pics of the most beautiful baby alive :-) She is now almost 3 days old and has a killer smile (probably just gas)but who cares. I wonder when will the baby realize what nights are for sleeping and days for playing. More to come later

Surprise, Estrella Paz Cepin is here

So much for still having two and a half weeks to go before baby arrival! All my plans for the week have been replaced by more important matters.
An unexpected snag on my pregnancy made baby Cepin had to be induced the day after my birthday (at least I got to have a great bday dinner with my inlaws)and was born at 1:12 am of the morning after. Here is the story (don't worry not too many gory details) Story to come soon, I have to go try to catch some sleep

I think Joely is ready to be a doula, he was great!

end of eight month

I am in the last week of the eight month and things are getting a little unconfortable. It is hard to sit for an extended period of time. Something seems to always be poking my right lung. But overall I feel great. I do get tired if I am on my feet for too long, but a little rest here and there gets me throught the day. It has been nice to be on vacation and get the house ready for the baby. I don't feel in a hurry to have the baby here, I wouldn't mind if he is a little late to give me more time, but who knows how I will feel during the last month. Hehehe.

Nesting

I have been on vacation since Christmas, nesting. Had to rearrenge most of the house to make space for little shrimp. A lot of work, but we are almost there. Had to completely move our favorite room in the house, computer/drawing/music room to make it into the new baby room. Made the old guest/storage room the new music/guest/craft room, while moved the computer into our master bedroom. Had to reorganize all the closets in the house and had to get rid of tons of things we no longer need. It is a work in progress. Here are some before and in progress pics

Electrical, plumbing and HVAC

Got the electrical upgraded, the plumbing is on the way and the HVAC system is in place, except for the actual unit which goes in, in a week or so.
In April it will be a year since we broke ground :-) I guess it is not too bad for Joely doing most of the work himself while holding a full time job and taking care of his pregnant coneja.
