Diana's first week!

Here we have our little angel, doing the things she does best - sleep and eat! That's a great life =D

She likes to sleep just like Joel did (probably it's a baby thing)

Our taco!! mmm!

Our little Diana (nicknames- Strawberry Shortcake or Princess Dee)

Joel's feeling more comfortable around her. He likes to push the swing when she is there, he tries to touch her and show her his love, whenever she cries he cries with her (mourns with those that mourn) or tries to find something to bring to her so she is more happy, he worries a lot , he will be a great older brother, he's too sweet!

We caught her smiling in one picture, but it was at night, so the color didn't turn out well.

But she is still cute! We are so blessed to have another baby in our family!

Diana's Birthday!!

It seemed to me that Diana wanted to come a little early, in early October I had some contractions that made me think that she would come earlier than expected, but fortunaly she waited to get the right positioning. On Sunday October 30th, while Tom went to a choir practice at 4pm I had a really bad contraction while playing with Joel, I called him a few times but didn't get an answer so when he got home I asked him to please answer the phone when the big day will come.

This is what happened on Friday November 4th, I took my mom to the Mexican consulate to get some paper work done there early in the morning, we came back and I was having some kind of cramps, that for me felt normal but very uncomfortable, so we had lunch and I started getting ready for my Dr's appointment at 1.30pm, before I left I was joking with Tom and my mom that the Dr will say the following Friday (11-11-11) that I was ready that I would have to go directly to the hospital. I saw the Dr and she was doing the routine check up, while I was telling her that I had some kind of cramps below my belly almost all morning, she checked me and said that I was 7 (from 10) and that I had to go to the hospital right away, I did laugh - I couldn't believe her because with Joel by 7 I was at the hospital and I wasn't very happy at all! She called the hospital to make sure I didn't have to wait and have direct admission. I called Tom to let him know that I needed him to pick me up at the clinic because I was afraid to have the water break before I could make it to the hospital, (fortunately he was still at home and he rode his bike). He got there (parked his bike at the Church building across the street form the Dr's clinic) and we went to the hospital. I had to have some medication for four hours so they delayed the dilatation until 6:30. Had the epidural, which was really nice, and made a huge difference from first delivery to this one. Finally!!! it was time and at 6.40pm the Dr broke the water and by 7pm we started the process on bringing little Diana to this wonderful world to join our little family!

To tell you the truth, I had a better experience during this delivery, everything seemed more easy than before, I had a very good care from the nurses (which I was a little afraid -only one hospital and not very good comments, but for sure Heavenly Father took good care of us) and I couldn't believe little Diana was already with us, it was like a blink of an eye....too fast...we didn't have the chance to think about it.
