Happy Mothers Day!

Being a Mommy is such a blessing. I am so grateful for my son and everything that God is teaching me through him. There is nothing more humbling than being a parent. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with a beautiful baby boy!





Mom,
I love you so much and am so grateful for everything you do for us! You are a great friend, Mom and Grandma! We love you so much and are so glad that we get to see you as much as we do. Oliver loves Grandma time...

3 1/2 months

Oliver is now 3 1/2 months old and full of smiles! Seeing him happy brings me so much joy. He doesn't talk a whole lot yet, he's very quiet and likes to observe what goes on around him. You can tell when he gets super excited, but he chooses to make facial expressions and smile instead of saying anything. I'm sure someday he won't want to stop talking, which I will still enjoy but for now I will be happy with smiles and funny faces.

This boy loves his crib! God has truly blessed us with a great little boy! He loves to go to bed at night. He will be cranky and fussy just so we'll lay him down in his crib. Crying turns into happy noises and a full 10 hours of sleep every night. So sweet...

He rolled over once when he was 4 weeks old and has decided that that was enough for now. He gets close to rolling from his tummy to his back, but he prefers his tummy so not too much effort is put forth. I can't wait until he's crawling around and getting into things. He may be an early crawler, he's got the turning himself completely around thing down pretty good....he doesn't like to miss out on much so he's got to keep up!

I love my little boy...

he's such a sweet baby... he melts my heart! just like his daddy :)

Baby boy was born January 19th at 3:16 am weighing in at 7 lbs 3 ounces and he was 20 inches long! The labor and delivery was fast and easy. I really enjoyed the entire experience! It was amazing to meet him for the first time and can't wait to do it again someday :) He's a pretty laid back baby we love him so much! What a sweet little blessing. We thank God for him everyday and can't imagine life without him! He gets lots of love from everyone!

38 weeks :) :) hooray!

2 weeks left! Maybe a little less how knows... the doctor says he thinks he may come a little early :)

Getting closer...

So we are currently at 31 weeks... only 9 weeks left! I can't believe how fast the time is flying by... Baby boy is still super healthy and growing right on track. We can't wait for him to get here...

I've had some issues with my heart rate and had to be put on medication for it... after running a couple of tests they figured out that the sinus node in my heart misfires and causes my heart to race for absolutely no reason. It makes me really short of breath most of the time with the occasional nausea spells... definitely not fun to experience 2 or 3 times a day... the doctor said that none of this should affect the baby, which makes me feel a whole lot better. once the baby is born he said that all of this should resolve on its own... they took me off of work early, which I'm definitely not complaining about. so I am now spending my days working on my transcription training in hopes of finishing and finding a job before the little one arrives.....
