Baby -
I can't believe I am not holding you in my arms yet! Not only did you not arrive in late July, like we thought you were, but you didn't even arrive on you due date!! No, Mommy is not mad, at all. Just a little frustrated and anxious. Frustrated because everyone keeps asking when you are going to get here. I understand they are all as anxious as we are, but its frustrating to keep repeating the same thing everyday. I feel like all of my frustration has somehow gone to you and now you are putting your foot down and making everyone wait, including me! Every night is a restless night because my anxiety does not let me sleep...every night I wonder if this is the night I am going to go into labor. But it isn't and as much as I love feeling you inside me and having you all to my self, I am dying to meet you already! We have been ready for you for so long already!
I am starting to freak out a little about you not coming on your own and having to get Induced!!! Just thinking about that scares me. I know that sometimes things don't always go according to how we planned it, but I really hope they are as close to it as possible.
I am sorry if at any moment I made you feel rushed to coming out. I just want it all to be perfect, just the way we planned it. Your daddy and I are a bit sad because your Nana (daddy's mom) may not be here for your birth day. Its very important for all of our loved ones to be here, especially your grandparents, who have been anxiously waiting for you and knowing that one of them may not be here really hurts us, but somethings are just out of our control and even if she can't physically be here, we know that her heart will be. I am sorry for pressuring you into coming home early. Take your time my little one. Mommy and Daddy will be right here waiting for you.
Love Mommy!

Feeling Weird
I haven't posted to your blog in quite some time, Isaac, but here I am. I catch myself feeling a little weird every now and then, especially when I say that my son is to be born within the next few weeks... My son... It hasn't really hit me yet that the journey your mom and I are about to embark on is a journey that it going to forever change our lives (for the better, of course). The title of your blog is called Waiting for Isaac, and indeed, we've been waiting for you for the past 9 months, and finally, you're about to be here! I honestly cannot wait. I'm ready for you. And like all other fathers say, the fact that you're actually alive already won't hit me until I actually hold you in my arms. I know that you're mother and I are going to be fantastic parents! I know this because we're fantastic people and a fantastic couple. We're going to have such a great time... But until you're finally here, all we can do is wait... But please hurry up! lol
37 weeks...
Baby -
These past couple of weeks have gotten harder and harder. My feet are super swollen, I can barely roll out of bed, my tummy is super itchy, It is so hard to sleep and move around and I am starting to freak out about everything!! Knowing that you can arrive any time now makes me super Happy and is the only thing giving me the strength to deal with all of the discomforts of being pregnant...all of the aches I have been feeling lately are all worth it though. Your daddy has been helping me so much. I don't know what I would do without him. I have no doubt in my mind that together we are going to make great parents to you!!
I cannot believe that you can arrive any day now. You are such a good baby already...positioned just like you should be and ready for the big day. I know that the process will be hard on both of us, especially you my little one, but we will do everything possible to make your journey out as safe as possible.
Hurry home my sweet little rainbow. I love you soo much!!!

Almost there...
My dear little one -
We are close to 6 weeks away from finally getting to hold you in our arms! We have been trying so hard to be as prepared as possible for your arrival. We have taken several classes and feel so much better about the delivery and about bringing you home. I must confess I was a little scared of the birth process and delivery and like many mothers I want to go all natural without any pain med's, but the thought of that freaked me out!! Taking classes and learning all about the different techniques of laboring gave me hope, lots of hope, that I can actually do it...Of course with the help of your papa. Knowing that he will be by my side coaching me and guiding me through the process gives me so much strenght! I will do everything in my power to be strong and guide you out safe and sound...knowing that the outcome of so much pain is a wonderful little baby boy makes it all worth it. I am ready for that wonderful day to finally arrive! I am ready to hold you on my chest and watch as your little eyes meet mine, I am ready to finally meet the little piece of us that moves inside my tummy like a little Tasmanian. I am ready to take care of you, protect you and guide you through the years. I cannot wait my dear little one, I cannot wait to hold you in my arms and just stare at you for hours and hours! Come home soon baby!
Love,
Mommy

Showers for Isaac!!
My dear little one,
We are now all done with all the showers that we put together just for us!! Having so many people give us so many wonderful gifts was amazing! You will be a part of a big family that already loves you more than you can imagine. Everyone that worked on putting together the showers worked so hard to make me feel happy and they all succeeded!! The showers were everything I dreamed off. We are so blessed my little one! Your daddy and I have already put together all of the big furniture in your room and have been putting away all of the wonderful gifts. I feel like we still need to do so much before your arrival and time is passing by so quickly. We may not have everything 100% ready when you get here...but we will have more than enough love to give you and really that is all you will need.
Love Mommy.

Excited!!!
Hi Baby!!
We are so excited to start setting up your Nursery!! Your crib arrived on Monday and your daddy put it together that same day. It is so beautiful!! Every day when I get home from work I peek in your room just to see it. I can't wait to have everything ready for you!! Don't worry we will not leave you alone in there all night yet, until you are able to sleep through the night...even then Sophie will most likely want to move in with you. Until then, you will sleep in another little crib right next to me or daddy! We will be working on putting together your room in the next couple of weeks!! I can't wait to see it all done and to Finally have you here!!!
Your crib...a gift from your Ninos, Meri and Elias.
The two little stuffed animals on the right are a gift from Tio Alfi and Tia Mayra. The other one is your Tio Alfredo's, he just put him there so he wouldn't be lonely.
We can't wait to see you sleeping in there!!
Love -

12 Weeks to Go!!
Time is sure going by way to fast!! The second trimester just past us by. I was looking forward to the second trimester because I heard I would have so much energy and I wanted to take advantage of it and workout so both you and I could be healthier. Unfortunately, allergy season came and ruined my plans. First I got a cold and then my allergies hit me so bad that they gave me asthma. Allergies always hit me, but never this bad. I guess its because I refused to give us medication...I tried dealing with it by staying in doors as much possible. Last Wednesday we went to the doctor because I started to cough a lot and I started wheezing. It turns out I have seasonal asthma. My nights are pretty horrible, I make this whistling noise after a couple hours of being in bed, it is so annoying that it keeps me up and when I finally fall asleep, the need to pee wakes me up. I am tired all of the time and want to fall asleep as soon as I get home. So, I am praying to get better as soon as possible because we have so much going on these next couple of months and I want to enjoy these last 12 weeks of having you inside my belly!!
This week you turn 28 weeks. You move so much...It is so amazing. My favorite thing in the world is to lay on my back and watch you move!! I feel the connection between us every time I touch my belly and talk to you. There is an incredible bond between us already. You know who I am, you know I am your mommy. I can spend hours laying in bed watching my belly move, watching you move. I also started playing lullabies for you. You love it, but you love it more when I sing a long...either that or you want me to stop singing and that's why you move a lot more. I want to believe that it is because you love the sound of my voice. We have not been reading to you lately, but we will get back to it, I promise!
