Abigail's Room




Jennifer had her 34 week check-up on Tuesday of this week. All is well with Abigail and she has settled into a head down position in preparation for delivery. She is approximately 4.5 pounds and 17 inches long. Jennifer can now tell the difference between her sleeping movements and her waking movements. We really enjoy watching her movements and are getting more and more excited to meet her.




We spent most of this week finishing up Abby's nursery. Ginger and Frodo both love the rug in Abby's room and we often find them laying in there while we are putting other items away. There are only a few more things to finish up before Abby's arrival in 5 weeks or so.

This weekend we also had a special visit from Grandma Ledezma, Uncle Samuel and Uncle Saul. Grandma made us a special dinner that we both loved and we were very excited to show them the finished room.

Birth Classes and Moving Around...

Today we finished the last of our birth classes in preparation for Abigail's arrival. We took all the classes offered through our hospital and it was a lot of fun for us to learn about the birth process, breastfeeding, CPR and baby care. Below is Jennifer with all the other expectant mothers from our prepared birth class.

We both enjoyed the time we got to spend with other first time parents. It was interesting to hear the different perspectives from everyone. Our instructors were fantastic and super helpful. Of course, Jennifer read over (and over) every piece of material the instructors gave us. Moises is now ready for all the diaper changes that are headed our way.



Finally, Moises cleared out the rest of what is to be Abigail's room. With the help of Paul, Armando and Francis all the excess furniture has been cleared out to make way for all of Abby's things. Moises already has the crib and dresser set up. We plan on picking up the chair tomorrow and getting the rest her nursery items put away this week. Thanks to Paul, Armando and Francis for all your help!
Much love,

Moises & Jennifer

Baby Shower


Wow, it's been far too long between posts! Sorry everyone for the delay. Just to give you a quick update on all things Abby; we are now only about 7 weeks away from her due date and we are working on getting everything prepared for her arrival.







Abigail had her first shower on April 16. Aunt GiGi and Chia hosted the shower. It was so wonderful to see all our Arkansas family and friends. We really appreciate all the work that GiGi and Chia did to make it a special day for us. Uncle Saul acted as photographer and as always he did a great job.



Abby got lots of great gifts to welcome her into the world, but one of the most unique gifts was the "babi kini" that Aunt Jennifer got her. It was a string bikini for newborns! How cute is that?! Mommy thought it was pretty cute, but the jury is still out on what Daddy has to say about that!


Much love,


Moises & Jennifer
