About our first pregnancy

After ten years of being happily married, we found out in July 2007 that we were expecting our first little miracle. It took us several months of searching for the perfect name for our new bundle of joy, but we finally settled on Adan James for a boy and Kaitlynn Marie for a girl. It was an anxious and happy time for me and Miguel.

At our 19 week doctor's visit we found out that we were expecting a precious little boy. We were so excited and called all of our friends and family to tell them the good news.

Our pregnancy was pretty easy, except the morning sickness, heartburn and later on, the Hobbit feet! I wouldn't trade a moment of it, though. I suppose I was the typical mom-to-be and had some pretty silly experiences and concerns. There was the bleach episode and the unforgettable "crawling-through-the-window" episode at 5 months. Looking back it was pretty funny.

For some reason I thought that Adan would be here at 36 weeks. I don't know why I had that in my head, but at my 36 week appointment (my birthday, no less!!), when the doctor sent me home with no progress to report, I was truly upset. Little did I know that Mr. Adan had plans of his own. Not only would he make me wait the full 40 weeks to meet him, he'd stay in two extra days!!!
