He's here!

Simon Javier Garcia
Born: April 24, 2007 @ 7:32 pm
Weight: 8 lb. 7 oz.
Height: 21.5 inches

Simon finally arrived one week late after 9.5 hours of labor and 1.5 hours of pushing. Life has already changed dramatically and we couldn't be more in love with him or excited to have him here. We don't sleep much because he doesn't like to sleep at night yet, but we're working on it.



Checking into the hospital. Look at the giant mug they gave me.


The fun begins. This is pre epidural.


Adolfo delivering Simon!


All the way out. Nice job Adolfo!!!


Our first good look at Simon.


Simon gets looked over by the doctor.


Look at that face.


All cleaned up and ready to be held.


Don't I look glad to be done.


Adolfo's favorite nurse Melissa with Simon.


Awwwww, so cute.


My favorite nurse Molly helping me breast feed the first time.


First time sleeping in the outside world.


Adolfo and his little cacahuete (peanut in Spanish).


Wearing his little hat they gave him at the hospital. He loves wearing hats!


Ohhhh, I am cute.


All dressed and ready to go home.


First night in the family bassinette. He didn't actually stay asleep very long.


I love my rain forest swing!!!

J and A- he is GORGEOUS! Not surprising, though. Those eyes, those cheeks, those expressions-- what more can we say?! Wow- I think we're both in love too. Happy Birthday, Simon! Lots of love, Sara (Dog) and Mike
