Marcelo Ray Whited

Our son, Marcelo Ray Whited, was born May 23, 2011 at 8:18 am. He was 11.4 pounds and 22.5 inches long. He is a HUGE newborn. He had to be in the NICU for the first two days to regulate his glucose levels because mommy had gestational diabetes. All is well now, and we are all home and doing great. We are so in love with him, including his big sister. Olivia has been so helpful and loving towards him, thank goodness. We were pretty worried about her having to share attention, but she has surprised us all. Marcelo is a true blessing for us, and we could not be happier. We hope you enjoy the pictures and updates that will come more frequently now that he's here.

Marcelo's Nursery

Marcelo's nursery has a sea animal theme which revolved around this bedding. I saw it on line and instantly wanted it. I love the colors and all the animals. I hope he loves it too! It matched his paint color really well too! It's all finished and now I just need him!

My sweet friend Suzanne embroidered some burp cloths with his name on them and they adorn his crib. I love them!

Baby Shower

My oldest and dearest friends (since 5th and 6th grade) threw me a baby shower a few weekends ago. Ashley offered her new beautiful home to host it and I could not have asked for a better time and more thoughtful gifts. I love my girls so much and I can not wait for them to meet baby Marcelo. He has been spoiled by them already! Special thanks to Trecy Schnitzer for helping out and my mom for the yummy empanandas and amazing cake!
-Sarah, Stacy, and Ash I love you girls so much-Thank you!

Amazing cake-it was so life like-I hated to cut it!

It was really delicious too!

Easter 2011

I have been so bad about posting to the blog lately, and as you can see in the picture below, I have a good reason! I am super preggo and tired all the time, not an excuse, but the truth! This year we went to my folks (like we always do) to celebrate Easter, and Olivia had a beautiful dress that my mom bought her! She also got at least 3 Easter baskets full of goodies. She is one rotten little girl!

Twirling in her dress!

I love the flower hair bows to match!

I do not usually post pictures of myself at 8 months pregnant but she insisted we take one and I didn't think it turned out too hideous!

The week before Easter we went with my friend Tracy and her kiddos to an egg hunt at Bear Creek Park. I love her in braids!
