Buddy Boy (as Abigail calls him)

Our little Benedict Joseph is two months old now . . . can you believe that and he is growing more and more like a little boy.

Can anyone guess who does he look like? Most of us think he looks like his Momma.

Have a blessed Holy Week!

New Edition: Benedict Joseph Michael

After a very long pregnancy, our baby boy finally came into this world on Friday, February 18, 2011 at 12:15 PM, 8.3 lbs, 20.25 inches long and we named him Benedict Joseph Michael (We figured since this is our first baby boy, we better cover all bases with the necessary Saints). Both Benedict and Coby are fine. Coby once again was amazing and delivered the baby natural with no medications what so ever.

Just a quick timeline of the delivery on Friday:

7:00 AM – Contractions started

10:00 AM – Left to the hospital

10:20 AM – Arrived at the hospital and shortly after the nurse checked her and she was at 6 cm dilated.

12:08 PM – Water broke

12:15 PM – Benedict was born.

Thanks to everyone for all your prayers during the pregnancy and during labor.

Thank you Lord for the healthy baby and safe delivery!

Surprise Baby Showers

We are so blessed to have such good friends that gave us (Coby) surprise baby showers. Thank you, thank you and thank you for your kindness and generosity. Now we have a good head start with boy’s outfits. Keep us in your prayers during this final 3 weeks of pregnancy and that we will have a safe delivery and healthy baby.

It all started with Coby’s book club surprise baby shower (no pictures)

Triumph Of The Holy Cross = Baby Boy

Today is a very powerful feast day in the Catholic Church, feast of the Triumph of the Cross. This is also a big day in our family, the day that we had our ultra sound and we found out that we are discontinuing the “girl” streak, our next baby will be a BOY!

The news came as a shock, a joyful shock because we don’t know how to raise a boy nor do we have any boy stuff (clothes, toys, etc.) But no need to worry because as usual, when God sends the little ones, He never includes any instructions with it, only graces! Please pray for us!
