The Birth of our Daughter - Liliana Maria Rodriguez

On September 9th, just 2 days before Bertha's birthday (9/11), we received our precious gift from the Lord - Liliana Maria Rodriguez. She is 7lbs & 3 ounces.

Bertha and I want to thank you all for praying for us. There are no words to describe the experience. I suppose every first time father and mother feels that way - it was AWESOME! Well now, let's introduce her to you, our friends:


Liliana

Welcome to our world mamita - Say hello to everyone.







Here is a video of Liliana - You are welcome to comment:

I saw the pictures but when I clicked on the video there was a message that it is no longer available.

HOWEVER, the pictures told me what I already suspected: that she's adorable!

That's one beautiful baby! Dude, get some SLEEP!!! You shouldn't be up at 2:30 in the morning sending video's to your friends!

You'll learn. Six months from now when your eyes are as black as your beard, you'll understand (just ask Fernando!)

God Bless The Rodriguez's!

Congrats to you both for such a fine job. I too, as Fernando, became very emotional. They sure dont bring an owner's manual but hey doesnt the love and all the good feelings of wanting just the best for our angels just flow. isnt it amazing how from the very second they are outside of the womb they already know who mommy and daddy are. She is absolutely a true blessing, a gorgeous one indeed. Daddy little girl, mommies angel. Wish you have a dozen more Bertha (LOL)! Glad to see your family from the very first moments. Not a couple any longer now its a FAMILY!!!!!! God is absolutely AWESOME!!!
