Meet Mr. Monroe

He has arrived! We've never had a Christmas gift quite like Monroe. He was born December 5th, 2010 at 1:32 a.m. 7 lbs. 15 oz. (he would have been an even 8 if he hadn't pooped inside me, haha), and 19.5 inches long.

We were able to enjoy Christmas with having my family travel up from Las Vegas. It was as my mom put it, heaven on earth. Except maybe for the hour that we took pictures of Monroe. I think it was pretty traumatic for him but we got some pretty cute shots with Tia Trish and Abuelita Williams. Now I'm just trying to adjust to life as a parent, but I'll try to post more frequently. The labor wasn't what I had planned (33 hours ----> then a c-section) but it has taught me to not try to plan every step and just enjoy each experience day to day.

Isn't he the cutest!?

  5. Hello, Mini Kirk. Too bad Poncho is so un-poncho-esque. I bet it is in his swaggar. Just wait till he talks and walks, then the true Poncho will come out! Hey, I love you two. See you soon!
