Newborn Photos...Sneak Peak

My friend and co-worker from PedsNW, Stacey came to Dallas to visit the other weekend and offered to take Cash's newborn photos. Stacey is also the one who took our maternity photos. She just sent me a few of the pictures she has edited so far. They are adorable, and I cannot wait for more!

Here is a sneak peak...More to come soon!

Thanks, Stacey!!

Growing Up So Fast Already!

I cannot believe that is has almost been 3 weeks since Cash was born (and that I have not posted any more since that time)! Time flies...I feel like he is already gowing up so fast. He has changed so much since the last pictures I posted.

He has already gained his weight back from what he lost at the hospital, and as of last Thursday, his stats are:
7lbs 3oz and 19 3/4 inches
He is already starting to outgrow his newborn clothes!

Here some more pics from the past few weeks...

Cash is holding his head up, and if you are lucky enough, you can catch a smile while he is asleep! We are getting our home routine down...Eating, sleeping, and changing diapers!
He got the okay from his Pediatrician this week to start trying a bottle, and he is loving it! Mommy is loving it too, because it allows her to get a little extra sleep during the night!

My parents left to go back to Great Falls last week. It was so nice having them here, to meet and spoil their very first little Grandson! Thank You for all of your help, Mom and Dad!

Buddy's sisters, Jane and Jennifer are here this week for baby duty! Buddy and I have been catching up on some much needed sleep. I will post pictures from their stay soon...

We are so lucky to have such wonderful families!

XOXO's

Happy Birthday!

Cash Jayr Francisco

Born 1.5.2012 at 12:09pm

Weight: 6lbs 7.8oz, Height: 18.5 inches

Buddy and I have been truly blessed with this amazing little boy, and are absolutely loving being parents to Cash! Our lives are forever changed...

On Wednesday, 1/4/12 Buddy and I went to our routine 39 week pre-natal appointment thinking we would be told "No baby today, go home and continue to wait...."

But.... My BP was slightly elevated, possibly from Buddy's driving on the way to our appt, but none the less, it was concerning to our OB Doctor. She decided to admit us to the Labor and Delivery Unit for overnight observation with an induction in the morning.

Buddy and I couldn't believe it, it was finally happening...After 9 long, exciting, and emotional months, we were going to be meeting our son very soon! Reality set in, we were not leaving this Hospital without a baby in our arms!

Wednesday night was pretty uneventful, just rested and tried to get some sleep before our big day on Thursday. Our induction started bright and early, at 7am Thursday morning. By 9am I was having some pretty good contractions, so my OB Doctor decided to "break my water" and move things along even faster! Faster was right, we were pushing 2 hours later and Cash was born at 12:09pm! We were told that we won the prize for the fastest delivery of the day! Our nurses and Doctors were amazing, which made this whole experience that much better!

Here are just a few pictures from that day...I could post tons more, but think Cash is stirring in his bassinet. Time to eat!
