Evan's 2 week photo shoot...

Ok, so Evan will be 3 months this Friday and I am just now getting his 2 week photo shoot up...things get busy with a newborn!! Leslie Sisson from Fitzpatrick is the photographer who did my maternity shots and is taking all of Evan's pictures this year. For the 2 week shoot, she came to our house, which was great! Next weekend, we will be taking his 3 month pictures. It is amazing how much they change from day to day.

We think she did a great job!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Thinking Back...

It is so hard to believe that next week Evan will be 3 months old. I heard people say, "Enjoy every minute, it goes by so fast" but I had no idea. Evan has now decided that he is too big to lay in your arms, he needs to be sitting up so he can see what everyone is doing. He has mastered rolling from his side to his back and is trying so hard to flip from his stomach to his back.

His little face and features have changed so much since day one. His smile is contagious and his cooing makes me laugh. He tries so hard to talk to us. You can see the wheels turning in his head. Each and every day he brings more and more joy to my life.

I am so blessed to call him my son!

Back To Blogging!

Hey guys! I am excited to be re-joining the blogging world! I apologize for it taking me so long to post pictures of our little man! It is so hard to believe that Evan is almost 3 months old. Man, where does the time go? I came back to work Friday. It was hard to leave him, but it has been nice to have routine again.

It is amazing how one little person can change your life so much. Who knew I could love someone as much as I do Evan? He is a great combination of both James and me. I think he has my nose and lips, however there are certain faces that he makes and he looks just like his Daddy! He has a great morning attitude, he DEFINITELY got that from James! I love it that he welcomes me with a huge smile each and every morning. It helps to get the day started.

Here are some pictures of our pride and joy. I don't have time to post all that I want to share, so this will have to do for now. Since I already have some up from the hospital, I will share from most current to birth. I hope to post a little each day until we are all caught up. I am excited to be able to catch up on what has been going on with you all over the past 10 1/2 weeks as well! Hope to hear from you soon!!

Enjoy!!

Our little Lion!

Having fun at the Pumpkin Patch!!

Here's that precious SMILE!!

Update on Evan

Evan is doing great! At birth, he weighed 8.3 pounds and was 20 1/2 inches long. We went today for a weight check and he is up to 8.7 pounds. We will see Dr. Trumbull for the first time on Tuesday. Thanks so much for the emails, phone calls and prayers. We are all doing well and managing to get some sleep!! I hope to have some updated pictures up soon.

First Family Picture

Here we are...

Evan is Here!!!!

Here are some pictures of our little man! Quick story of his delivery...we checked in Wednesday night to start the dilation pill, which did start contractions. Thursday morning, Dr. Ashurst broke my water and gave the ok for my epidural. I got that and was resting comfortably. The nurse came in to check my dilation and discovered some bleeding...more than she was comfortable with, she called the Dr. He ordered for them to prepare me for a C-section. Evan's heartrate was up. Within just a few minutes, we were in the section room preparing to meet Evan. Within 19 minutes our precious little man was here. He was sent to the NICU because he had some fluid on his lungs, his heartrate was elevated and his blood pressure was down. James went with Evan to the nursery as they finished everything up with me and I finally got to hold him later Thursday night. We are now waiting to be discharged to head home! He is getting to go home with us! I will post more details of the past few days later-some of which has been a blur and some details include the roller coaster emotions, with more pictures (of course). Hope you all enjoy!

Change of Plans!!

It seems as though Evan will not be joining us until Thursday August 28. Dr. Ashurst has to go out of town for a funeral Wednesday, so the plan is to be admitted around 5:30 Wednesday afternoon and be induced Thursday morning. I wanted to cry when he told me the news!! Please remember us in your prayers...especially James as he takes care of me these next few days!!! Until next time...

Yesterday...

Yesterday was our 3rd wedding anniversary! 3 whole years!!! :) It seems like it was just yesterday I was telling my mom about this WONDERFUL man I had met and how I would like to spend more time with him and here we are...about to hold and kiss our first born! Man how time goes by!!

I love you James, more than you could ever know. I feel so blessed that God chose me to be your wife. I could not ask for a better gift than your love. You mean the world to me. You are a wonderful, caring, loving, generous and thoughtful husband and I know you are going to be all of those plus some as a Daddy to Evan. I love you!! Thank you for dinner last night and for my beautiful Willow Tree figurine!

On a funnier note...I thought my water broke yesterday while I was in the treatment room with a patient, I went down to LDR only to find out it was not my water, but the mucus plug!! I was a little embarrassed to say the least! I guess it was better to be safe than sorry. I am now beyond the point of being ready...ready for my back not to hurt, ready to hold and kiss Evan, and ready to be tired, but because of different reasons!! I am sure you moms know what I am talking about!

We go back to see Dr. Ashurst Monday afternoon, so I am sure I will update Tuesday morning!
