Announcing the Arrival of Zoe Grace

She's here! Baby Zoe Grace Benezette. Born on December 21st at 9:49 in the morning weighing 8 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. It was a very quick and intense labor and delivery (1 and 1/2 hours) with no time for pain killers, a crazy amazing experience!! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! Here's a few photos of her first two weeks of life.

This picture is for Nana Etherton a.k.a. "Nana up the hill" =) . . . Gabby and Eli LOVE the shirts that you sent them, thank you so much!!

HUGE

38 weeks and still growing =)!!

If she does not come before the 28th, I will be induced that morning.

Merry Christmas everyone!! On this December 1st we put up our tree as a family and had a great time . . . we miss and love you all and wish that we could be spending this holiday season with you!! We are amazed at how fast time is moving and that we will be a family of 5 by the end of this month (the Dr. will induce me on the morning of the 28th, night of the 27th state-side time, if I don't deliver before then), we are very thankful and very excited! Please be praying, as we have been, for a healthy delivery, Mom and baby!! Enjoy the pics, sorry it has been so long since I last did a post =(. PS: you can double click on any picture to see it bigger and clearer.

The decorators, they did a great job and did most of the work!! It was fun to watch them work together and help each other! They are getting way too big, way too fast.
Putting the star on top of the tree . . . a little team work.
Working hard!
Man this is intense!! Or so you'd think by the look on Eli's face!
Decorating the tree in your underwear is so liberating!!
Showing off our fun new ornaments that we got this year.
