I haven’t blogged in almost a month. Yikes! I was trying to do so much at work in preparation for my maternity leave that I made myself sick. I was stressed. I got a cold. Oh yeah, then I had my baby 10 days prior to my due date.
I got the baby boy that I wanted so badly and prayed for!
Introducing Francisco (i.e., Franco) born Mother’s Day May 11, 2014 at 8:30am. He weighed 5 pounds, 14 ounces and was 19 inches long.
2 pictures and a video I can watch over and over of his first bath.
He is beautiful! This just gave me the biggest smile!! Time goes by so fast! Praise God for your little blessing, so happy for you and your bundle of Joy!!!
