3 Months Old (a little late on uploading)

My sweet C, 3 whole months old! I can't believe it!  Here are his Navy Sailor Portraits!

Love that foot peeking out.

One of my faves!

 My other favorite! Love those sweet blue eyes!

 "MOM! I'M TIRED OF TAKING PICTURES!"

 Within 5 mins of the last picture he looked like this! ;-) THOSE LIPS!

 I love to kiss those toes!

HE'S HERE! 12 Days Old!

HE'S HERE!!!! HE'S HERE!!!!

8lbs 8oz

21.25"

And I couldn't ask for a better little boy!  He's perfect in every way: health, personality, temper, and his sweet sweet smile!  I mean seriously, just look at him!  ;-) 

I had the honor of pulling Christian the rest of the way out after his head made it through and I plopped him right up on top of me!  As seen here!  He's literally only a few seconds old here!

Our precious and blessed new family!

1 day old!

The day after he came home from the hospital (4 days old)...laying on Papa Dean's lap.

I'm so in love with both of these boys! He's 1 week old here.

Having a little fun with a naked photo shoot! Loving that smile!! 6 days old here.

Here I am at 39 weeks and Christian at 12 days!

Maternity Sneak Peek!

My good friend, Jaime Tocco, took maternity pictures of me a few days ago!  Here is a sneak peek of some she put up for me last night!  Can't wait to see the rest when they come in!!!

36 Weeks, Sonogram, and TWIN NEPHEWS!

WOW!  ONLY 4 weeks to go....or less. ;-)

How fun it was to see our little boy again!  I'm so anxious to be able to see him everyday and love on him with lots of hugs and kisses!  Here are two of the cutest sonogram pictures I've ever seen!

Christian Dean is doing fantastic! It was last Wednesday that we had our appointment and at that point he weighed 6.1 lbs.  She did say she's usually a few ounces over, so he was probably just below 6 lbs.  He has ideal measurements on everything and his heartbeat was strong and on point.  So far we couldn't have asked for a healthier baby boy!  Last Wednesday I was dilated to a 1...doctor said she thinks he might be a little early.  I have had a few recent signs that he might be anxious to see the world, so we'll see if we really have to wait until 11-11-11 to meet him in person!  God's timing is perfect timing and I'm leaving it up to him!!  Tomorrow my sweet friend, Jaime Tocco, will be taking my maternity pictures....I'm so excited!  I'll definitely post them as soon as they are in my hands.

36 week...I'm dropping!

Also just a few weeks ago on September 27, 2011, my sister welcomed her twin boys around 34 weeks.  One had to stay in the NICU just a little longer than the other, but they are very healthy and now both home and together again!!!!

32 Weeks

Today's baby appointment went very well!  In fact, he said I'm doing so great that he doesn't need to see me in 2 weeks like planned and instead he'll see me in 3 weeks.  I'll also have another ultrasound done then...THANK GOODNESS!  I haven't had one since 20 weeks when we found out the gender so I'm definitely ready to see my boy again.  Of course I'll post some wonderful pictures after I get them! ;-) 

This last Saturday I was blessed with a second baby shower!  My boss and a girlfriend put an intimate group together for brunch and a shower.  It was delightful! (If you click on the picture it'll get bigger.)

32 week picture there!

 Yummy brunch and cake!

The Gun Man and A Precious Friend's Wedding

This weekend I was blessed to attend a precious friend's wedding, Lauren Hodson (now Lauren Caudill!), and spend some much needed time with friends I hadn't seen in a year or even 2!  I can't believe I've missed out on the last two years of some of their lives.  Some have gotten married to men I haven't seen or spent much time with.  It was GREAT getting to know them a little more and why my best girls love them so much.  If only my sweet boy could have been there too.  I just miss him so much and can't wait for this deployment to be OVER WITH!  Here are some pictures of my best friend's little boy, Gunner, and Lauren's wedding.  More to come later!

He loves his bicycle that his daddy restored.  

**The strings on the front are such a good idea.  That way mom or dad can have him hold onto the bars and they can pull him AND steer it at the same time.**

 Those blue eyes are to die for!

 The Gun Man loves his Uncle Tom!

 Chillin' in the bed of daddy's truck!

 The GORGEOUS bride, Lauren!  This is such a great facial!

 The lighting in the church was amazing!

 We all filled up our own bags of candy!

 Dancing the night away!

 And they're off!

Congratulations guys!!!  So happy I could celebrate with you!
