Carlos Javier Garcia. I know, I know, I'm a little late with this entry, seeing as though he will be 3 weeks tomorrow- but cut me some slack! I've been a little busy over here! :)
Here's the scoop- our precious son was born via c-section at 7:44 A.M. on June 3rd. We had to arrive at the hospital at 5:30 which I thought was going to be hard (Ramon REALLY likes to sleep), but we were up in a flash. Actually- I woke up around 3:00 that morning to go to the bathroom and couldn't fall back asleep- I was too excited and nervous. That's a good thing b/c I remembered that we needed to pack Sophia's and Diego's gifts from the baby and snacks for Ramon. I guess due to our nervousness, Ramon and I were in the silliest mood- joking and laughing over everything! I'm still giggling over the jokes we made that morning!I guess we had a better handle over what was going to happen and since I wasn't contracting, the situation seemed less serious. Once in Labor and Delivery, the nurses were all business to keep everything on schedule. I suppose that it's a good thing we were the first ones scheduled because they were right on time- no delays. The actual procedure took a little longer than usual bc we decided to have my tubes tied. But hearing Carlitos cry was music to my ears. And seeing him for the first time was love at first sight! He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long- my longest baby ever! He has a head full of black hair and his eyes are still a mystery- grey is the best way to describe them. My dad has beautiful green eyes so I am keeping my fingers crossed that Carlos has his eye color!
Sophia absolutely adores him and Diego is surprisingly gentle with him. I'm blessed to have had my mother come and help the first week. The second week she took Sophie and Diego to the ranch and this week Ramon is off to lend a hand. It's hard to believe our family is complete... let's get this party started!!!
