first bath

hated the sponge bath part...

loved getting his hair washed (just like his mom)

headed home...

headed home from the hospital...

our baby is here!!!

we were blessed with our son declan timothy very early sunday morning on november 25th! he is a beautiful, healthy and strong little boy. he came out with a thick head of hair which already covers his ears and goes down his neck... he will have to get his first trim before he is one month old! he is a very good baby and only cries during diaper changes and when he's hungry or bored.

our last quiet thanksgiving, just the two of us

with our little guy due any day, we stayed home and had a quiet thanksgiving with just the two of us. i think our families felt bad for us, but we loved it! we ordered tons of food from Fresh Market (no cooking for me this year), put up Christmas decorations and watched football. we even broke out the china, crystal and silver for the special occasion!

november already?!!!

sorry to the handful of friends who check out my blog which has not been updated since july! we are anxiously awaiting our little bundle of joy in a few weeks, November 28th to be exact. i have "back-posted" some events from the past few months.

since i live in Indiana now and will be giving birth to a Hoosier baby soon (yes, hard to believe in so many ways), i insisted on a hay bale on our front porch this fall. this may seem like a dumb entry to most of you, but I AM a little bit country so my rustic hay and pumpkin display make me SMILE!!!

one year from today....

which one do you like?
