the long-awaited post

meet our little daughter, mia, born Thursday, May 31, 2007 she's our absolute joy, and we are completely in love :) her newborn pics are here!

yes, i'm finally back. well, "back" is kind of a relative term. technically, i'm back from the hospital, from giving birth, from pregnancy. but i don't really know what's been going on in the rest of the world since last wednesday. honestly, i've talked to very few people (mainly family)and my whole life revolves around the little one. actually both marco and i have wondered how two completely independent, self-sufficient adults have been reduced to the equivelent of one baby-slave. we live our lives in 3 hour cycles and if you get to sleep for longer than two hours then you're super lucky. we haven't really done much more than take care of her. seriously.

oh and just for the record, i took a pic of my very last week (week 39) with a belly. i don't miss the discomfort but kinda miss carrying her around with me...
last but not least, i had yet another baby shower! this shower was thrown by my aunt lupe and cousin debbie and their families. they couldn't make it to my first shower, so they were kind enough to give this one right before little mia was born. i was as big as a house by then, so forgive the huge pics :)
