Hello World

Joel weighs 7 lbs 6 oz, is 20.75 inches long and has a head circumference of 13.75 inches.  His APGAR score was 9.  We are so happy everything went well with the labor and delivery, and look forward to leaving the hospital tomorrow morning or afternoon.

Nesting

This is a preview of Joel's room, complete with crib, clothes, toys, diapers, stuffed animals, etc.  All we need is the baby.  We are looking forward to the new adventure, and are so grateful to all our friends and family who have done so much to help us get ready for our baby!

World cup 2010????????

If all of us thought that the World Cup 2010, was over, let me tell you that a game was on the pending list =D
Last Saturday we had an activity with some other wards and Thomas got to play in the goal area! The priesthood, youth, and relief society got to play during that tournament! It was fun to be there cheering!!!  I couldn't play this time =(

Bud is home!!!

 

Bud made it home with some little cute friends

  

Landon's letter

Bud was Thomas' best friend for so many years, until he decided to give it to Landon (one dear nephew) , so he could cuddle and play with it! Now Landon has been so good thinking about Thomas'  baby, that decided to send Bud back home so baby Joel can cuddle and play with it as his dad used to! Thank you for taking good care of Bud during the past years, and for the wonderful time you shared with him. Bud made it safely to Arizona, he was very well prepared for that long trip with some dog food, banana bread, and water.  Bud wasn't alone, so probably that made things easier for him! Thank you again for sharing all the things Bud used to do with you Landon, and for those great experiences you shared together....We'll keep in mind that Bud loves Indiana and all those favorite things he likes to do.

Elder's quorum activity

We had an elder's quorum activity, where couples were invited and the purpose was to get to know each other more. They had some pizza and some fun games where all of us enjoyed a lot, we were divided into two teams so we compete against each other.

Waiting for Joel, last weeks...

Here we are at our 38 weeks, excited and nervous waiting for our little one who we want to join our family as soon as he feels ready! We LOVE him, that can't wait to see and hold him whenever he wants to surprise us!

NOTE : We'll see if he makes it to his Daddy's B-day or if he will wait until his due date which is Aug 21st somehow I realized that day was Pres Thomas Spencer Monson's B-day, so definitely has to be Thomas, besides those days I have to say that mom is from the 28th, and we have some friends who have given us their day as an option as well...I noticed there are lots of  B-days in August!!

Here at 37 weeks

New Present

Yay! We are set up, thank you for the great presents we have received during this year that we have been in Az, definitely all of them have made our life easier, so now we are able to do wherever we want faster! We LOVE them and so happy enjoying cooking, baking,etc...it's great!! Thank you Alan and Louise
