It is crazy how much you can love your kid. It kind of freaks me out. I'm not use to getting worried about things, but now when she is sleeping I'm like, "Dude she's kind of quiet. Is she still breathing." Then I poker her in the stomach to get a grunt.
On day ten we discovered that she had an inguinal hernia, and on day 12 we found ourselves at Stanford's Children Hospital getting surgery. Talk about being scared. Even though it was considered an minor surgery, there isn't really a minor surgery when its your 12-day-old-child.
I am so thankful for the amazing people at Stanford. We met everyone of the surgical team and the anesthesiologist's team (12 in all). They shook our hands and looked us in our eyes and said. "We are going to take good care of Isa." They helped us to feel like we were important to them and that we mattered to them. That helped take the edge off knowing that Isa was in caring competent hands. Needless to say all went well.

| Seeing Isa like this brought tears to Silvia |
My mom was a great support to us staying with us the entire day and then staying the night with Silvia and Isa. She just makes you feel like everything will be okay when she is around.
Now she is five weeks old and we can't stop staring at her.
She is hypnotizing with her smiles and here little dimple.
She looks like a little doll in this picture.
