Would like to hear from Maguilart on how her new little addition to the family is doing

Hi!!

We are doing ok... trying to stay cool during this heat wave that just hit the west coast... yesterday it was 28C by 10am and 40C by 5pm...

Little Christopher is growing so fast, he is 6 weeks now... I am not doing so well though, it was a VERY rough delivery... had to stay at the hospital for 5 days after delivering, lost too much blood, got anemic(my hemoglobin went down to 5!!), didnt even get to bond with my little one until 4 hours after delivery because they had to take me to the OR to stop the bleeding. To top things off, three weeks after delivery I had to have my gallbladder removed... that was 2 nights at the ER and three days at the hospital after the surgery...

I am still home, got 12 weeks for maternity leave... honestly, I dont think that is going to be enough, I am still in pain... my mom is staying with us until the end of July, she is making things SO much easier!!

I wish the doctor had decided to do a c-section instead of a "normal" delivery being that my baby was so big and that I was in labor for 19 hours and not progressing... I guess that is what we get when we dont know the way "things work" here...

Christopher Alejandro was born on May 29th, 2007

9.59pm - 8lbs 6oz

Sorry I poured all this on you... I felt like venting!

WOW.............. what a time you've had. That has to top all stories of deliveries I've heard of. I sure hope that you're on your way to recovery. To go through 9 months, then surgery and another surgery 3 weeks later I think we all feel for you.

But we're happy that little Chritopher is doing well.......... and you will be too.

Feel better

Feliz 28 a littlle late!!! .

We are doing very well, enjoying the summer and my little sister's visit, she arrived on the 28th and is going to stay 'til september 15th. Last week I took off and we were very busy showing her NYC. We visited more places in one week than in two years. Next week I'm taking off again and we will continue visiting other places.

Congratulation Jeff, Veroka, enjoy your trip! , how's MandyR doing? and waht about MELISSA? HOW'S THE LITTLE ONE??

Vi........ thanks for asking.................

We just got back from a brief 4 day trip to Colorado for a family reunion. A lot of fun........

Rossy is doing great with the pregnancy, except little Sebastian thinks he is playing soccer already. December seems such a long time from now but it's just around the corner.

My travels are done I think until our family reunion cruise next July...... Unless we can find a good deal to N.Y. before the baby arrives.

Rossy is headed back to Lima for a week around Labor Day to spend time with her Mom and help her Mom get a tourist visa so she can be here when the baby arrives. Just hoping that she is able to get the visa.........if not I know Rossy will be very sad to not have her Mom here

Hope you are all enjoying your summer

Hi everyone,

I am doing ok, our little one is doing ok... I will go back to work on Aug 23rd, I am suffering so much about it!! But you have to do what you have to do, right?? :S

My mom left on the 27th, so it has been a huge adjustment, when she came, she took over the whole house and the baby... I dont know how she did it!! I miss her sooo much. I am hoping I will be able to go to Peru next February... Im a little bit worried about taking such a long trip with the baby though.

MandR... I am sure Rossy will have a great time with her family in Peru... she will be spoiled rotten!!! I hope her mom can get the visa and be able to come when the baby arrives, it will make a huge difference for her.

Vi, Im so happy your sister is here and that you were able to take time off... make sure you enjoy it!!!

Better go feed little Christopher!! Can you believe he looks just like his dad and nothing like me?? That seems amazing to me, specially since(in theory) I have the strongest genes... like dark hair, dark eyes, darker skin... but this little guy has light brown hair, very light skin and it seems he is going to keep the blue eyes he's got!!

Congratulations on your new baby, Melissa. I really hope you are feeling better very soon. You've had a rough time!

And welcome to the family, Larain! You will find tremendous support here

Thank you!! I am surviving, that is as much as I can say, I had to go back to the doctor yesterday and some of the stitches are still giving me problems and PAIN!! I know some of you might disagree, but I am very dissapointed with the healthcare provided here in the U. States...

By the way, who has the hi5? Mine is http://maguilart.hi5.com, I have tons of pictures of little Christopher there...

Hola a todos!

MandyR, how funny, we've decided that if we have a baby boy we will name him Sebastian, I love that name, and if it's a girl is going to be Sofia. Let me know if you come to NYC.

Melissa, I always check my hi5 and I have to say that your baby is the cutest little thing, and you are right, looks just like daddy.

Tracy, how did your hubby enjoy his trip to Peru and how is his brother doing?

Saludos
