Naaman Jack's First Week...

Wow! I really didn't think I could love someone this much...Naaman Jack is perfect in EVERY way. The first week was so very memorable! At just six days old, Naaman went in for his first doctor visit so they could check and see how he was doing. He weighed in at 6 pounds, 8 ounces...almost back up to his birth weight...you grow baby! He LOVES sleeping on someone...he doesn't so much love sleeping in his crib. We are working on this. He definitely knows his daddy's voice...he will be asleep and when Brad walks in the room and says something he ALWAYS opens his bright, big eyes...it's really amazing to see! Between both our parents visiting, he hasn't had much time where he's been out of someone's arms...is it possible to spoil them this young? Oh well, I don't care...it's so worth it...and SO hard to put the little guy down. All we do is stare at him...and coo over every movement or noise he makes. This is so much fun...we're cherishing EACH and EVERY with our little man...

Scrub A Dub Dub...

What could be more fun than your first sponge bath?

Not so much! Little Naaman Jack was not at all thrilled about his scrub down...

I REALLY hate this Mom...please hurry and finish...PLEASE!!!

He seemed to like the warm towel straight from the dryer the best...AHHH!!!

Home from the hospital...

Yay!!! We were so excited for today because it's the day we get to go home as a family of THREE! This morning Naaman's Pediatrician and my OBGYN both came to check on us before 8:00 a.m. They cleared us to be released. I was enjoying some quality Mommy and Baby time while Brad packed up our things...

When we arrived home, Jeb and Kylie were anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby Naaman Jack. Here are some pictures that captured the moment...

The introduction went very well...better than we expected. Both dogs just smelled him and were very gentle...

It wasn't long before little Naaman Jack got tired of his furry friends...we couldn't help but snap a pic of that sad face...

2 Days Old!

Wow...what a difference a day can make! I woke up on Wednesday morning feeling like a whole new woman! We thought we'd share some pictures of our little man on his second day in the world...







Baby Naaman and his best friend Crew...I can't wait for them to play together!

We were very blessed to have lots of visitors...especially Naaman Jack's future playmates...Allie, Zane and Kamryn...

Happy Birthday Naaman Jack!!!

Baby Naaman arrived at 4:03 p.m. Tuesday, September 8...weighing in at 6 lbs, 11 oz and 19 3/4 inches!

Proud Papa and his son...

This was a sweet moment...the moment I've waited 40 long weeks for...I FINALLY get to hold my baby boy for the first time!!!

There are no words to describe just how I felt...he is absolutely AMAZING!!!

One last belly shot....

Here are a couple final belly shots before baby Naaman makes his debut! Brad and I headed to the hospital around 5:30 p.m. Monday. I was immediately given Cervidil to help my Cervix along. I was in labor all night with contraction starting at 6-8 minutes apart, which then moved to 4-6 minutes apart, and then finally 2-4 minutes. At 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, September 8 the Pitocin was started. I received my Epidural at 8:00 a.m., which by the way...was the best choice I've EVER made!!!
