Rocky Mountain National Park
I love this picture!! She's having a great time looking at the trees, while being in daddy's arms.
Getting Dressed Up
We decided to get our little girl all dressed up for some pictures. And before we left the house we took a couple, beacuse she looked so darn cute!
The first picture, she obviously wasn't happy. The second one turned out a little better.
Final Picture
We drove around Rocky Mountain National Park all day, and she was such a trooper!
We found a small patch of wild flowers and laid her in them to get this picture. I dont think she even noticed that she was out of her carseat. Poor thing was so tired. But it turned out to be an adorable picture!
Before there was three
Here's a picture before there was a little one. By this point we were ready for her to be here; to see what she looks like and to get to know her

Cecilia Marie
I love this picture! She looks VERY MAD and ready to punch some one.
Her journey to this world started around 3pm on Monday July 7th (unknowingly to me...let me explain)
I was shopping in Target and noticed I was having some cramping going on and didn't pay much attention to it.
That night we had our last childbirth class at the hospital. During class the "cramping" was getting stronger; so after class (about 9pm) we checked in at the hospital to see what was going on.
They said "Yes you are having contractions, but they aren't consistent. Go home, take a bath and get some sleep, and we'll see you Wednesday at your next appointment." Little did we all know Cecilia had other plans. (it's now 10:30pm)
We get home; I took their advice and took a warm bath. (about 11pm now). About 20 minutes later, it started...and it HUUUUUUUUUUUURT!!!!! This is when we started timing the contractions for an hour, like we were told by the doctor.
As things started to progress we decided we better head to the hospital. After David and our roommate, Jay, told me I couldn't sleep on the front lawn, like I wanted to, we get back to the hospital at 1:10am.
About 1:25am Cecilia was ready to join us; HOWEVER, the nursing staff tells me "The doctor isn't here yet, don't push." (this did NOT please me, at all).
FINALLY the doctor comes in about 1:30am, and Cecilia made her very fast entrance into this world at 1:40 am.

Meeting the furry family
Keiko and Coto were very curious about this new little person. David and I were watching in amazement on how gentle and protective they were with Cecilia, right away. They both go running to her when they hear her cry, and they are right by her side where ever she is sleeping/sitting.
Cecilia; however, seems to be unaware that they exist…or its that she just isn’t bothered by them one bit.

Needing a nap
Poor little girl was so worn out from the busy day of checking out of the hospital, momma's inexperience of being able to dress her in a reasonable amount of time, and not to mention meeting rest of the furry family.
