The stare down begins...


His first girlfriend? Even the nurse loves thinks he's adorable!

Here are some more pictures of the cutest newest member of the DeHerrera Torres clan.

Andres is feeling great, he loves to eat, sleep and smile!!! He is almost two days old. He smiles whenever he hears our voices and loves to keep his hands next to his face.
We are excited he is finally here...and we can tell he loves his family and friends, and can't wait to meet them all! We will post more pics tomorrow.
love, the parents.

I love the hair!

He is a great baby. He seems to be very mellow. We didn't see him cry or fuss while the nurses were checking him out and he was awake the whole time.

Guillermo Andres DeHerrera arrived this morning, August 26, 2006 at 4:33 AM. He weighs 8 lbs 14 oz and is 21 1/4 inches long. Pictures to come!

BABY FLASH - 41 weeks

Just got back from the Doctor's office - I am officially dilated 2 cm and my cervix has thinned over 50%!! Baby should be here soon. He's still kicking and moving all over the place so all systems are go.

Angela made a 30 hour visit to try and catch a glimpse of the little guy. Here are some recent pics.

Hold your horses....we have the Cali grandparents but no Big Baby D yet!!!

I still feel great. I delivered the eviction notice to the baby yesterday. But no word yet on his response. We even tried to sweat him out w/ Jerome's famous spicy menudo, but I think he liked it and may be sticking around for more.....we'll have to try red chili tonight....

Baby's 1st fake out: Had some really strong contractions Sunday night. Jerome pulled out the stop watch and then all of a sudden they went away. We're starting to get think the baby is enjoying teasing us.

We'll be updating the blog much more frequently now. Jerome and I are so excited and can't wait. Stay tuned!

BIG BABY D THIS WEEK...Week 40
Your Baby: Approaching 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg) or more, and measuring at least 22 inches (56 cm), your baby is ready to make his grand entrance any time now. All of his organs are fully developed, and he has reflexes and more coordination. Baby can grasp and hold onto things, turn his head, and respond to outside cues, including the sound of your voice. Most of the lanugo hair has fallen out, but some may still remain on the shoulders, neck, behind the ears and in the deeper folds of the skin. It too will shed in the weeks immediately after birth.
