Day one!

The birth of our little girl

And it is a.........

GIRL! Aviana Diane Hernandez was born December 25th, 2008 at 1:48pm. She weighed 8 pounds 7.5 ounces and was 20.2 inches long! Of course we were surprised it was a girl and both of us immediately started crying but Nonni Paula almost passed out! She was born with a head full (and shoulders and back) of black hair! She has dimples to die for and the longest eyelashes! She is absolutely beautiful!

39 weeks and waiting....

We are in the final days of the pregnancy. Nonni Paula is here anxiously awaiting the arrival of her first grandchild. So far the last few weeks have been the hardest part of the pregnancy. Between the swelling and the belly and the braxton-hicks contractions it feels like the baby is never going to come. It is also the most exciting time because we cant wait to see if it is a boy or a girl and we hold our breath with every cramp wondering if it is the begining of labor! Not much longer!
