Almost Three Weeks and Loving Life





Hi Everyone!

For all of you who are checking periodically, I have included a few more photos of Estela to see her as she grows in leaps and bounds over the next few weeks. She weighs about 8 lbs now and has grown about an inch in length. She is already attempting to roll over onto her back when we have "tummy time" and has successfully done it twice with a little assistance from mom.

As for Mom, she attempts a shower at least everyday, but reluctantly gives up some days. Luckily most of the pictures of mom are taken on the days that she did manage to freshen up . . . however, no time to do the hair yet. Irregardless, Estela and Dad don't seem to mind too much when mom skips a day. We are still getting plently of snuggle time with each other.

We are also starting to average about 4 hours at a time of sleep during the night . . . yeah!!! It is amazing how refreshed you feel on four hours of sleep. I can now at least speak coherently without long pauses in my sentences.

Life is grand.

One Week Old!


We have made it through the first week. New Mom and Dad Ramos are a little sleep deprived, however, we are enjoying every moment. The other night at about 3:00 a.m. I was half asleep and half concious speaking in tongue to Ale. I didn't realize that this was a significant side effect when lacking sufficient sleep.

Estela is growing strong and preparing for her first outing into the world. She can't wait to meet all of you!

Estela Marie!











Hey there! Well Jacque and Ale's little baby girl is here. She was born on Dec. 31st at 6:03pm and she weighed 7.7, she was 20 1/4 inches long, and they named her Estela Marie! How cute is that? Here is a first look at her... She is beautiful and perfect in every way. I am sure that Jacque will post some more news so look for her to tell you all about her little girl.
Love you all,
Ali
