This blog is on HIATUS!!!

In order to keep the photos and postings in the same place, I have decided to update everyone through our Shutterfly site...

If you don't have the link please email me as I do not want to post it here because I only want family and friends to access it.

See you at our other website...

Francesca has made her grand arrival

Francesca has made her grand arrival...

She was kind enough to not steal her big brother's birthday!!!

Francesca was born on July 25th at 11:24 pm.

She weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and is 20 inches long.

Francesca's Latest Ultrasounds

Sorry if I don't post very often but aside from being extremely tired I also have to take care of a VERY ACTIVE 2 year old... Felipe is growing up really quickly and now he climbs up on everything so I have to constantly be watching him.

This morning I went to get my 36 week ultrasound and Francesca is growing perfectly. She is currently weighing about 6lbs 8oz so she will probably be just like Felipe when he was born.

To see photos of the latest ultrasounds you can go to: http://thesimos.shutterfly.com/2009photos/50

The first three photos are the most recent ones and the technician was kind enough to do some 3D images of her face.

I will hopefully post more information before I go into labor... If not I guess the next post will be about Francesca's birth.

Francesca's Baby Pool - Can you guess when she will be born?

During the baby shower we played a game called Baby Pool (Can you guess when Francesca will be born?).

These are all the guesses I received that day... If you have not participated and would like to be added please go to the following website: http://www.expectnet.com/logingame.php?game_name=BabyGirlSimo2009. Once you have entered your guess there I will add you to this list.

Whoever guesses correctly will receive a prize.

Please note that it isn't who guesses my due date correctly it is who guesses when Francesca is ACTUALLY born.

Felipe's First Pony Ride

Earlier this morning we took Felipe on his first pony ride. Adrian had found out that next to his job on the weekends they have pony rides. You can have your kid ride for as long as they want for only $5.

Since it was nice and sunny this morning we decided to take him. He loved it and was on the pony for about 30 minutes. We had to cut it short because I couldn't take the walking any more.

In pregnancy news....

I am currently 32 weeks and GROWING!!!

Everything is going great and little Francesca is kicking up a storm. I think she is going to be more active than her brother.

I will post photos of the pony ride and updated belly shots tomorrow.

Latest Ultrasound

Yesterday I went to get a second ultrasound because at the last one they couldn't get the measurements of the spine.

Everything is going well but there was a little surprise there are two...

The VERDICT is in for Baby # 2

IT'S A GIRL!!!

I just got back from getting my 18 week ultrasound. It is definitely a girl and everything is great.

I will post pictures later on today...
