Emery is now 8 days old! Frank and I still float around the house on cloud 9, enjoying every time we get to hold our sweet daughter. She is the best cuddler in the world. Our first week has been great. She went on her first walk at 2 days old and fell asleep in about 30 seconds of being in the stroller. Emery brought the beautiful weather with her, so we have been able to enjoy our walks outside. Sleeping is hit or miss. During the day we could be having a party inside and she would remain fast asleep. At night for some reason she is ready to party and doesn't want to leave our arms. We thank everyone for the love and support. My mom has been a saint, coming to the house each day to cook, clean and do anything to help us out. We feel truly blessed.

Emery Elizabeth Bustos has arrived! Only one week and six days late:) Beautiful Emery came into our arms on 10/20/2009 at 5:24 am. Weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs and 1.1 ounces, 20.5 inches. She looks just like Daddy but people say with Mommy's nose and chin. She has a full head of dark brown hair, deep grey eyes (with a tint of blue Daddy says), and one dimple has been spotted on the left cheek:) She is the love of our life and we couldn't be any happier than we are right now.

So we are now about 6 days past our due date and I am trying to stay relaxed.  Frank and I are both getting very anxious to meet our daughter.  I stopped working this week, which is very nice to relax and take things easy but I also am ready to have my baby in my arms:)  We don't plan on going past 42 weeks, so that means induction next week.  Frank and I are positive and hopeful that she will decide to come on her own in the next few days.  We are trying all the tricks that we know of to help initiate labor but she seems to be pretty comfortable where she is.  All your thoughts and prayers are appreciated and we will keep you posted.  

Due date in just 4 DAYS!!!  Frank and I are amazed that it is just a matter of days before our due date.  Our daughter could be arriving any day now.  That being said, my Mom did have me over 2 weeks late and my sister had my nephew 2 weeks late, so we will see.  I hope I break family tradition and have her before 42 weeks:)  I am doing well.  Definitely more uncomfortable and very slow to move, like a turtle really.  I am still working, which I know some people think is crazy but I don't know what I would do to keep myself busy right now if I was at home.  I would just sit around obsessing about her arrival.  I think we are as prepared and ready as we can be but I am sure we have forgotten something.  Sorry I have to say this.  I know lots of you plan on visiting when Baby Bustos arrives.  Frank and I request that if you are even slightly under the weather that you wait until you are feeling 100% before visiting.  We just can't chance it with flu season being out of control and having a newborn.  Thanks for your consideration.  Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.  We will keep you updated as things progress.
