We saw Marc's face!

Jezzzz, keeping a blog updated is tougher than I thought. Who in earth feels like sitting in front of the computer at work after spending 10 hours working in front of a trillion PCs at work?????

Oh well, I owe a posting summarizing some of the cool events we enjoyed this summer: BBQs, street fests and miscellaneous parties...

But I could not let this opportunity escape, on Saturday we went to have our 3D-4D ultrasound so we now kinda know what little Marc looks like, we know that he likes sucking his thumb and showing his tongue...

One month to go, we can barely wait, specially Lily who's had enough of pregnancy already :)

A day at the park

We just wanted to upload a few pictures from our day at the park during Memorial day weekend. It's finally time to celebrate that the good weather has arrived. The belly keeps growing and Marc kicking stronger every day :)

The blue room

I guess 3 posts is enough to let people know that this blog exists :), maybe tomorrow I will send the email.

The last 3 days I've been working from home, on Monday I got a root canal and today we had our monthly appointment with the doctor to check on the pregnancy progress, everything is good. I really think we are very lucky with the nurse and doctor we got assigned at the Swedish Covenant Hospital, I can not imagine more supportive and encouraging people, they really are great, they were during the first few months when Lily was feeling terrible and they are even more so now, more than half way through the pregnancy.

Yesterday was the day when the room formerly known as the office became Marc's future room, gone is the salmon color we chose back in the day and in is the new "Honolulu blue"... Lily and I often times talk about how lucky children are nowadays. Marc's first room is a small one, but one very bright and sunny. I remember how growing up I used to share my room with my 2 sisters, only when I was 12 I got my first room and I remember the excitement as if it was today. In any case, sharing the room with my sisters was great, my older sister Mari Carmen is the best old sister you could dream of, I remember the games we used to play before Ana and I would fall asleep... jezzz, I'm starting to sound like grandpa Miguel.

Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah, Marc's room is blue and ready, so the future arrival of Marc is becoming more and more real... in any case, everyday he let us know that he's around, kicking and moving more and more often, as Dr Brennan said, we may have a little soccer player.

Love

Things you do when you are bored

A friend send me the link to this website, pretty cool stuff:

To blog or not to blog...

All right, it's taken us a while to finally go for it, to join the big family of bloggers... So many times we've talked about it, so many times I've had in my mind stories that I wanted to post and share with others, but for one reason or another it seemed impossible to find the motivation to sit down in front of the computer after work.

I guess it only takes a big important reason and now we have it, the family is growing, if everything goes well by the end of August Marc will be among us and will turn our lives upside down... in a way it already has...

I guess I'm stating the obvious, I'm sure if I look around other blogs I'll find similar sentences elsewhere and yet... it's so true, it's amazing the illusion that one can feel, the love for that little person developing and growing inside the mom's belly... the first time you hear his heart beating, the ultrasounds, the movements and kicks...

Yes, it took a big event like this for us to start blogging, to try to keep family and friends around the world updated.

We promise to try to post every so often, to upload pictures as they become available...

Enough for the first post, I don't want to use all my vocabulary the first day :)

Love and peace!
