Anouncing the Arrival of Abigail Marie Kapaldo

We are happy to announce the birth of our little one Abigail Marie Kapaldo on Saturday, March 29, 2008. Our baby weighed in at 7 pounds 14 ounces and measures 19.5 inches long. Born at 5:37PM. Mommy and baby are healthy and resting.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Nesting

I can't believe that we technically have less than a week until our due date. They baby could come at any time!

Monday was my last day at work, so it has been nice to spend the rest of the week at home. I have taken this extra time before Baby Kapaldo comes to sleep in and clean up the apartment. It is my desire that I don't come home from the hospital to a big mess!

I'd say things are pretty much ready now. The apartment is clean, the bills are paid, the taxes are done. They baby can come now :-) I am hoping the baby definitely comes between now and March 31. I really don't want to go late.

We will keep you posted once things start happening.

Three Milestones

Today marked three milestones. The first milestone: today marks Jonathan and my 2 1/2 year anniversary :-) The second milestone: today marks the beginning of week 39 of my pregnancy. The third milestone: today was my last day of work before my maternity leave!!!

Here are some 39 week belly pictures:

Time is Winding Down

We have just over two weeks left before our expected due date. Yesterday Jonathan "installed" (not sure if that is the right word) our baby's car seat. If we want to take the baby home from the hospital, having a car seat is absolutely necessary. We wanted to be sure we could figure out installation and such a good deal before "D-Day".

I thought about going out yesterday afternoon to take pictures of this event, but Jonathan went to do it as I was dozing on the couch. I'm sure we'll have plenty of pictures with the baby in the car seat.

Aaahhh! Time is flying by!

Baby's Room

Yesterday Jonathan's Mom and brother Michael drove up from Virginia to bring up a beautiful bookcase and baby changing table. Jonathan used the bookcase while in high school, which was cleaned up, re-finished, and accented with beech wood. Jonathan's Dad put the baby changing table together over the past few weeks. As you can see in the pictures below, there is plenty of space for all of our baby changing essentials.

It was great to see Mom and Michael, although the visit was short. They headed back to Virginia this morning. We are looking forward to Jonathan's family visits again once our little one arrives.
