On Saturday at 4:15 pm, our family was blessed with a new addition. My niece,( brother Wayne's daughter) gave birth to a darling little boy. His name is Isaac DeDupre Gutierrez. He weighed in at 7 lbs. 14 oz. and was 21 inches long.
Everyone at the hospital said it went fairly fast for a first born. I was there the whole time but I have nothing to compare to since I had experienced NO pain during my childbirths. Seeing her in pain during a contraction made me realize how fortunate I had been.
In the course of 6 hours she had dilated to 9. Her husband has fingernail marks on his hand (probably permanent, LOL)from her grasping tightly. She did great!! Before giving birth, her doctor had told her the baby would be around 6 lbs. (The baby's father is small framed and she had gained only 17 lbs.) Boy was he wrong. Pictures will be in my next blog.
Currently I'm baking and preparing party stuff for our Office Christmas Party. We invite around 700 clients in which about 200 usually come. It is an open house type of party. BUT !!! It is so much work. I decorate the office and cater all the food items myself. The party is on Wednesday. Hey, you are invited!

would love to be there for the party but i have been in bed with th4 flu since last friday. I'm not sure if it is just a bad cold, bronchitis or what, but whatever I have it has made me cough so much I have irritated my stomach muscles along with some hemmroids. Going to go to work tomorrow. We are going to Tahoe Friday, for the weekend. That is when we will do Christmas with Ryan and Shelly. They will be in Texas during Christmas. I rented a cabin, so have been looking forward to this time...I hope everyone is well by then.
