18 months and 22 days

It has been a long time since we have posted anything in our blog. Two reasons: a)We don't really enjoy posting, b) Marga (who is the official blogger) got pregnant, and she had "24 hour" morning sickness for nine months. So, we will try to summarize our last 18 months.
1) In June 2008, we decided to meet with the fertility doctor to try to get pregnant.
2) Marga had surgery in July to have an ovarian cyst removed.
3) We went to Utah in August to visit our friends.



4) On September 14th we went to the fertility doctor for a post-surgery check. We made an appointment to start with the in-vitro treatments.
5) On the same day, we found out Marga was pregnant.
6) Our friends Karina, Mabel, and Lily came from Utah to visit.



7) We spent Christmas in Rocklin with Clint's side of the family.



8) We won turkey salt and pepper shakers at Sid and Linda's Christmas family get together. (Important for future references)
9) The day after Christmas, Cameron, Brook, Ethan and we went to Spain to spend a couple of weeks with Marga's side of the family. Cameron and Clint smuggled some manchego cheese, and "jamón serrano" (cured ham)through Atlanta airport customs.



10)In March, Marga became a dual citizen of Spain and the USA.
11)In April, Marga had several baby showers. Thanks Cathi, Jeannie, Ana, Jen, and Betty for everything. We also went to Utah to visit our friends one last time before Sophía's arrival. Marga had a another baby shower there. Thanks Paqui and Monica for preparing everything, and especially for getting all my dear friends together. We also enjoyed playing miniature golf at Trafalgar, and even some exotic dancing from Daniel.



12)In May, Margas's Mom came from Spain to help with the baby. Sophía was born on June 2nd, 2009. She was 6 pounds and 15 ounces.



13) In July, Paqui and her family came from Utah to meet Sophía.



14)In August, Mayte and Mary came from Spain to meet Sophía.



15) We went to Lake Tahoe for our family vacation. My poor Sophía was stung by a wasp.



16) We went to Vegas to let our friend Mayte (a huge CSI, Las Vegas fan) experience an all American city.



17) At the end of August we went to Utah for Antony and Denisse's wedding. One of the best receptions ever!!! Also, Esther celebrated her 6th birthday that weekend. We love you Esther!!!



18) Clinton went back to Utah a week later with Calvin, Ryan, and Chad for a BYU game. A waste really,BYU was totally smashed by Florida State.



19) We have been doing all the typical things parents do with their children to make life more fun: pumpkin patches, Halloween, Thanksgiving... (by the way, Marga is wearing a swimsuit in the bathtub.)



20)On November 14th, Isabel (Marga’s Mom) went back to Spain.

21) This Christmas has been the best one ever. Having Sophía in our lives is the best gift we could have asked for. We will try to post more often. Thank you for your postings, we love checking out your blogs.
