2011

2011 is looking pretty incredible so far. I'm nice and cozy inside with my boys while it's snowing tons outside after spending the day with the girls. Our sweet son is 2 months old as of this past Wednesday and we can't believe it! He has changed so much already, and we are so excited to continue watching him grow. Taking after his Daddy, he is the most relaxed, happy baby ever! I know I'm 100% biased, but we feel so very spoiled that he is doing so well - including in the sleeping department :) We are so blessed!

These two... there just are no words for this love

Pictures and More Pictures!

Last week, Liam got his picture made with Santa! We got several pics, and here are a couple of our favorites.

Yesterday our sweet baby boy was 1 month old! Can't believe it! He has changed so much already, and we couldn't be more blessed. The 3 of us went to have our pictures made, and the photographer has them up in the online gallery now! When I got her email this morning I was SO excited! She got them up so fast, and it made my day! Like a good postpartum woman, I teared up the whole time I was looking at them. I love my wonderful husband, and I can't imagine a better man to go through this journey with. Our precious baby boy is just perfect, and I can't help but smile with each picture.

Smiling!

I finally caught Liam's smile on camera! And... he laughed this morning! He was half asleep, and I know he had no clue what he was doing, but it was adorable!

What are the odds???

So... Liam just peed, of course right when I took his diaper off. Well, he rung his ear! Yep, that's right... I looked everywhere for where that stream landed and found it all in his ear. Just had to share! LOL

Liam Has Arrived!!!!!!

Our sweet Liam is here with us! We are enjoying him so much, and every day we somehow love him more. Weighing in at 8 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches long, he arrived at 12:15 AM on November 5th. With the exception of about 2 hours, he slept all night last night - hooray! He is just precious. Here are a few pics!

This is one from Liam's "photo shoot" right before we left the hospital in his take home outfit!

Our first family picture!

Comfy Baby

We have decided that Liam is a little too comfy in my belly :) Saturday my due date came and went. When we went to the doctor Monday, they scheduled me to be induced Thursday morning... that's TOMORROW! Woo hoo! So today I am trying to rest some, get some things done, and rest some again. I'm making one final "clean sweep" through the house and hopefully will be just tired enough to sleep good tonight... although Nathan and I think neither of us will be able to!

Can't believe tomorrow is almost here! Nathan and I are liking this "schedule" thing... haha. Since he's nice and comfy in there, we might not actually have a baby tomorrow (although of course we're hoping we do!) but we know that we will get up in the morning, go to the hospital, and won't be coming home until little Liam is coming home with us! AHHH! Anyway, back to more of my "resting some" before I get back up to clean a little. Next time I get on here, it'll be a baby picture!!!

Waking up to a Crib

This morning Nathan and I woke up to a cute, tiny little crib... beside our bed... for the baby that will be in it soon... My mom came yesterday and helped me clean and do random odds and ends for the baby, make some returns, and put up this crib. She also got to see the bedding all put together in the crib for the first time! It's all washed and ready - even though Liam will be sleeping nice and comfy right here for a little while :)

We even have the little diaper caddy all stocked and ready for our little guy... so weird!

Nathan and I knew this day was coming. The day we would officially have a crib in our bedroom. After both agreeing that it would be so weird - in a good way - but nonetheless weird - to have a crib right beside us, the day finally arrived. We are so excited, and getting there as far as the readiness factor. Towels, washcloths, blankets washed. Diapers and wipes ready for that cute little bottom. Diaper caddy for our bedroom stocked. Diaper caddy to keep in the living room stocked. Hospital bag partially packed (finishing that today). All we have to do is pick out one preemie outfit just in case he's not 10 lbs (haha, gosh I hope not!) and then I can wash all the clothes and bibs. After that one load, all his stuff will be nice and clean with that great "Dreft" baby smell :)

Now we're down to crunch time - finishing up some final random things and waiting for our sweet Liam!
