Newborn Cruz

My goal is to post every month an update on how Cruz is doing and growing.  This is the first of those posts.

Baby Cruz- what are you up to:

You were born on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at 8:15 a.m. at La Esperanza Hospital in Guatemala City, Guatemala.  You weighed 8 lbs. and 6 ozs.  You were 20.47 inches long.  You were the most beautiful sight we have ever seen!!! 

You didn't eat much those first few days, all you wanted to do was sleep.  You are starting to make up for it now, as you want to eat all the time.  You are starting to nurse well and that makes us both very happy.  You prefer to either be asleep or eating.  You have not yet learned how to just be content to be awake but we are working on that.  You open your eyes a lot and like to look around.  Your dad has also discovered that you like to be outside.  He loves to walk you to the gate and back.  You are a good baby so far and we just want to eat you up!  You are just precious!

We'll never be able to tell you just how many people prayed for you and awaited your arrival.  You are soo loved by soo many all over the world!

We soo welcome you into our lives and look forward to watching you grow.  Just don't grow too fast!  We already wish we could keep you like this forever!
