1 Month Old

Colton was 1 month old Monday. It's had to believe that he's already been in this world for over a month. He has grown so much and he is just a complete JOY!! Over the past few days he has been more active during the day and he is finally starting to stare at certain things throughout the day. He still loves to swing and he now enjoys laying on the floor to stretch out his legs and arms.

Millie is still doing great with Colton. As soon as he makes just the tiniest noise she runs to check on him. It's too cute!!! There have been a few times where she gets jealuos of him though, but most of the time she just loves him!

Chris and I are doing great as well. We are finally adjusting to parenthood!! Well Chris is still trying to adjust to the lack of sleep. (Haha!!) He is doing great though and he is such a wonderful dad to Colton. I've been so blessed to have such a wonderful and Godly man in my life and I'm so glad that Colton will have a father who loves him, who loves his wife and who also loves the Lord with all of his heart. I on the other hand love being a mommy!!! It's such a wonderful gift from God to become a mom and I'm so glad that God blessed me with Colton. Even though there are many sleepless nights, I simply adore him!!

Colton is doing great!! We've had a wonderful few weeks at home and he is finally on a schedule. He sleeps great at night and is a wonderful little boy. He loves to eat, swing in his swing and he loves to be cuddled. I could hold him all day long if I didn't have so much to do around the house!! Being a mom is amazing!!Colton had his first doctors appointment about 2 weeks ago and he has gained a pound (now 8.2 lbs) and grew an inch (now 20.5 inches). He is growing and growing each and every day and it's amazing how much he has changed in just a few short weeks. Chris and I just adore him, we think he's just the cutest baby ever!!! Enjoy the following pictures, I will be posting more in the week to come as well.

Pictures of Colton

1 week old

Colton is Here!!!

Colton arrived Saturday at 12:30 and is just perfect!!! He was 7 lbs 2 ounces and 19.5 inches long. Everything went great and Chris and I are just trilled to have our little boy here. Here are a few pictures of Colton's first few days in the world. I'll be posting more and updating more on Colton and parenthood within the next few weeks. Thanks for all the prayers and support over the past few months. Chris and I love you all!

We're heading to the Hospital Friday!!!

I went to the doctor yesterday and Dr. Myers said that she wanted to go ahead and induce me Saturday morning. My blood pressure was higher than normal so Chris and I are going in tomorrow night for them to monitor by blood pressure and then they will induce me Saturday morning. She said that Colton should arrive either sometime late Saturday afternoon or even possibly into Saturday night. Please keep us all in your prayers. We can't wait to see Colton and to introduce you all to him. We will post pictures as soon as possible!!!

A few pictures of Colton's Nursery

Here are a few pictures of Colton's Nursery. I'm still working on part of it and will put more pictures up later as I get through cleaning.

2 More Weeks!!

We're finally counting down the days till Colton arrives!! I went to the doctor Tuesday and Dr. Myers said that Colton could arrive any day now. We're just waiting and waiting for him to decide that he's ready to come. I have a few more things to do around the house this weekend, but we're ready to bring him home. I'm going to try to post a few pictures on here tonight of his nursery and some from the baby showers. Have a wonderful Friday and hopefully we can introduce you all to Colton very soon!!! Keep us in your prayers! We love you all!!

Not Much Longer!!

Not much longer until Colton gets here!! We're still doing great and just waiting on Colton to decide that he's ready to come. We finally finished his nursery this weekend and finished washing all of his clothes and blankets so we're just waiting on him! I head back to the doctor next Tuesday so I'll be sure to post an update after we leave the doctor's office. Have a wonderful week!! Please remember to keep us in your prayers.

Friends Expecting!!

4 Friends from High School all expecting this year!!!

Shea (Due in November), Paige (Due May 26th) and Julia (Due May 15th)...

4 more weeks!

I went to the doctor yesterday and Dr. Myers said that everything is still going right along schedule. She thinks that Colton has already turned and should be about 6lbs. I know, 4 more weeks to go and already 6 lbs. She said not to worry though, that she normally over estimates and that it doesn't mean that I will have a 9 lb baby. Anyways, I head back in 2 weeks for another Doctor's Appointment if I can just make it till then.

Colton is still moving around all the time and doesn't let me sleep much at night. I guess this is God's way in preparing me for his arrival and all the many nights awake!

His nursery is finally ready for him and it looks great thanks to my mom (Nana)and my sister-in-law (Aunt Valerie) who helped me this past weekend wash his clothes and organize his nursery. All it needs now is baby Colton!

Millie on the other hand has become a mommy's baby and wants to be right up underneath me all the time! I actually woke up the other night and she was laying on my stomach sound asleep.

Please keep us all in your prayers!! We are so ready for Colton to be here!!

I'll try to post some pictures soon, we've just been busy trying to get everything ready in case he decides to come early!!
