Welcome to the World Lauren Elise Hinojosa!

While I have a beautiful story to share, I would rather tell it in person to all the wonderful people visiting our princess. With that being said, I know you really only care about the pictures and to be honest, I haven't slept, so here they are!

P.S. I have to thank SOOOOOOOOOO many people for making this a beautiful journey both before and after, but I would like to thank the people in particular for the generous gifts one can not put a price tag on. The beautiful images captured and the clean house we came home to were more than just generous, but priceless gifts we can never repay. You know who you are and we love you for it!

The beautiful pictures we can NOT take credit for:

The party is getting started

Here she is!

The time of perfection

Here are my pictures:

 GOING HOME!

First Day of Preschool ~ Year 2

Well, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised on how exceptionally well Julian did on his first day of preschool this year. Not only did he bid me farewell with a smile, he greeted me with the BEST hug imaginable. I was a little sad to see how much my baby has grown from his first year of preschool , but so happy to know that he trusts Mommy and Daddy enough to know that we will ALWAYS come back and the tears are not needed. I couldn't have asked for a better way to start the new year. We love our Junebug so much!

Belly pics galore...

It's been no secret that pregnancy #2 has been quite a journey from the pains to the already sleepless nights, but I would NOT trade one single second of it because I know it means that my princess is just baking until perfection. I am 38 1/2 weeks today and feel like it can literally happen tonight or possibly tomorrow ~ contractions have been 20 minutes apart for about 3 hours now! Whatever God decides, she will be here soon nonetheless and I can not wait to hold her in my arms. I know I have not posted much activity from the pregnancy, but I have attached some belly pictures leading up until now. If my princess isn't here by tomorrow, like I think she might be, she will be here, God willing, by Friday, August 30th. Thank you to everyone for all the moral support and love we have received. I can't say it enough, so I'll say it again, we are beyond blessed with the family and friends we have and we can't wait to share our angel with everyone. Check back again soon because I will be sure to post that first picture of our angel when she makes her debut into the world.
