Stella prepares to enter this world!

After a dinner of Arroz con Pollo at Lynn's house it become obvious that something was going on in that big ol belly of mine! Mom had promised me that once she made arroz con pollo I would go into labor. Surprise, Surprise, she was indeed right. Aimee and Simi went with me to the hospital and then everyone soon arrived! It was eventful night and I was so blessed to have them all there! Oh yeah, labor hurts. I opted for the epidural at 7 centimeters! :)

Killing Time...


So dear little Stella is less than 3 weeks away and the waiting game has begun. We went to the Dr. on Friday and she made the mistake of telling us that she thinks Stella will come early.

When????? What Day? What time? As you can imagine we pressed her for something more specific. We wanted a detail timeline of when we could expect our baby. But she just smiled and said, "There is really no way of knowing for sure." So we wait...

In our spare time Simi and I have watched the entire season of "True Blood," which is a crazy, sex-filled, show about vampires in Louisiana. It's a HBO series and we both really loved it but in hindsight we now realize that we have watched 12 hours of this show in the past week. I think it is time for a book!

The good news is I am 3 weeks ahead on my online coursework, and we are walking twice a day to try and stimulate a bit of a reaction from our little girl. Nothing yet but keep your fingers crossed that it will be soon. :)

Mom's 59th Bday












































































My lovely mom turned 59 on June 1st so we celebrated with brunch at the Gunther house and then had dinner at the casa. Mom's gift was an adirondack chair that she has been eyeing for some time. Happy Bday mom! Love you!

















Meet Roberta







Our most prized Roberta has joined our family thanks to Grandpa and Vicki! She is going to be Stella's chariot of choice for the next few years so that mom and dad can get back to their svelte builds asap!

A Shower for Stella (Continued)








Yes, the two preggers gals wore the exact same dress. At the same time Simi showed how great he is with Nathaniel and decorations were just perfect. Thanks again Aimee, Mish, and Mama hen; You three did a wonderful job!
