And then there were four........

Well, Ivancito is finally here - after gaining 45 lbs, seeing my belly measure to the size of a woman who would be having twins, some Pitocin and oxygen and 9 hours of labor, we finally met Ivan Alexander Souberbielle. He was born on Monday, March 3rd, at 4:07pm, weighed 9 lbs 6 ounces and measured 22 inches long (that puts him in the 99th percentile for height -crazy). We are just starting to get an idea of his personality because he has spent his first few days under UV lights, but he is usually peaceful (unless its time to eat - a true Souberbielle) and likes to watch his big sister run around and dance.

Alina is slowly adjusting to the idea that he is staying and that this is the same baby that we've been talking about for so long. She is starting to get some interest in him-until yesterday she just kind of ignored him. Big Ivan and I are excited and exhausted but mostly feel so blessed to have such sweet spirited children in our lives.

Muchisimas gracias to all of you for your helping hands and prayers. We love you!

I'm freaking out. First of all ,welcome to the blogging world. It's about freakin' time.
Secondly, I'm dying over Alina. She's like a mini Ivan. The hair is the best thing ever. I want to smooch on her like crazy. And thirdly, I still can't get over the fact that you had a 9 pound + baby. Seriously, that's amazing. Post some more pics so we can really see this beautiful prince. I can' t wait to see you!

¿Cómo es usted que hace todo? ¿Está la transición bien? ¿O es usted calvo de sacarse el pelo?
