Just not ready...

Monday we thought that Baby Barajas would be born today. After going to Brenda's last doctor appointment, Dr. Suris double checked his calculations and decided that it was best to push the date to Monday. We were first disappointed, but now are thankful that the doctor is doing everything he can control to give Brenda and Baby the best chance for a healthy delivery.

The Countdown

So our waiting has gone from months to weeks, from weeks to days and now in about 72 hours Baby Barajas will be arriving. Brenda will be checking into the hospital on Thursday morning (April 29) to deliver our first born. It is hard to describe all of the feelings and emotions that we are feeling, but I will sum it up with one word...excitement.

Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers. Please continue to pray for Brenda and Baby. It is comforting to know that we have so many family and friends here for support.

On Thursday, I will be tweeting updates on the progress, so follow us on Twitter for up to date news on Baby Barajas. Twitter.com/babybarajas

Here are a few pics of the baby's room...ready for baby!

Thanks for helping us fill his closet and drawers...

Even Vanilla is starting to warm up to baby...a little bit after this picture was taken, baby gave Vanilla a little kick :)

Big News...Ready or not, here I come.

Brenda had her regularly scheduled appointment yesterday and they put a baby monitor on her belly and did a stress test to check the baby's heart rate. According to Dr. Suris things were good. Brenda told him that she had a really bad headache on Monday and the nurse had taken her blood pressure and it was a little high. Her blood pressure reading at the doctor's office was a little high as well. The Doctor had the nurse check it again after having Brenda lay down for 5 minutes on her left side. The second reading was normal, but he did not like that it was creeping up compared to her earlier readings during the pregnancy. He decided that Brenda needs to stop working and he scheduled her C-section for April 29, a whole 2 weeks before her due date of May 15! At first we were both shocked, but after that reaction came the realization and excitement that we are going to meet Baby Barajas in 2 weeks. I guess I better get to finishing his room and putting the crib together.

Progress in the baby's room...still a lot to do.

Getting things done and Happy Easter!

Baby Barajas is arriving very soon...we are about a month away! Last week, we installed a new floor in our living room and future baby's room. Special thanks to Pete and my brother Xavier for all of their help. We could not have done it without you.

Brenda and the baby are doing well. He will be here before we know it. Here are a couple of recent photos of Brenda being pregnant:)
