Almost Two Weeks

Jocelyn is almost two weeks old now. Tuesday she will be 14 days old. It's amazing how many things change in just a week or two since we've brought her home from the hospital. My sister had suggested a picture-a-day idea to see the developments of our baby girl from her first day at the hospital to the 365th day or 1 year old. Because it seems pretty hard to think we could always find the perfect time and perfect moment to take a shot every day between her sleeping and eating, I will attempt at least a shot a week. Here are the latest...

Six Pounds Six Ounces (2.91 Kg)

I haven't had too much time to post on my blog for the last couple of days because I've been enamoured by our new little girl. She is truly a bundle of joy. I just want to follow up with a couple of thoughts and statistics about her for those of you that want more details about her.

Jocelyn Anya Suciu was born within 3 hours after Carmen & I arrived at the hospital on Dec. 4, 2007. (Early Christmas present) She was born eight days early as her original due date was on Dec. 12, 2007. Her weight was 6 lbs, 6 oz and she is a healthy strong girl. So far she's been very good and though we wake up several times each night to feed her, we can't stop looking at her and admiring her little feet and hands and cheeks. Her eyes are blue. I brought her here in the office with me and she sleeps in her new stroller as I type.

Her mother, Carmen was a hero, as I've mentioned to several relatives and close friends already, because she did not have any type of pain relief or epidural, so Jocelyn's birth was all natural, the old fashioned way. Everything went well and Carmen is already up and about feeling well.

We want to thank everyone who has been a part of this process including those of you who supported and Congratulated us and felt this great joy together with us, including those very nice nurses (especially nurse Lori who was there with us almost the whole time) and doctors at Maricopa Integrated Health Systems hospital not excluding the wonderful seemingly extra care that Dr. Kevin Lopez at the Avondale Family Health Center put in.

We offer a very special thanks to the supreme power, our Almighty loving God.

Thank you for helping us deliver healthy and beautiful Jocelyn Anya into this world.

The Baby Preparations

Here we are counting down and keeping time of the contractions. The much anticipated moment is finally drawing to a near. These are the last moments we are going to see some of the following images empty for a pretty long while. The funny part is that we are very excited and above all praying and looking forward to a healthy baby.
