Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween weekend. We spent Saturday evening at church for a chili cook-off, apple dessert contest, and trunk-or-treat.

Matt won second place in the chili cook-off, and I tied for first place in the apple dessert contest with my mom's dutch apple cheesecake recipe. Baby K slept through all of it, but looked pretty cute doing so!


Baby K is 7 weeks old today! It's crazy how fast the time has gone. I have to go back to work next week. =( It's only 3 days a week, and he'll be staying with a friend of ours (who is wonderful), but I'm pretty sad about it!

Playing catch up- weeks 2-5

Prepare for cuteness overload! Here's some pics to catch up weeks 2-5.

My parents came to visit a week after K was born. We had a great time, and they definitely enjoyed spending time with their first grandchild!

2 weeks old- I love this face.


Skin-to-skin time with Daddy after a bath.

Beautiful.

3 weeks old. Almost a smile!


First tub bath! He loves it! He's like a little fish, kicking his feet in the water.

4 weeks old.

5 weeks old- the anatomy of a little fit!
I'm not so sure I'm in the mood for this picture taking business...
Nope. I'm done.

Seriously! Pick me up!

That's it! Now I'm really mad!!

Here's what I think of having my picture taken!

More Baby K pics

We're still doing great. Baby K has started to figure out his own little routine, which, thankfully, includes sleeping for 2-3 hours at a time at night. Matt and I are loving getting some sleep!

Enjoying some sunshine!

My two favorite boys, taking a nap. So cute.

1 week old! Nap time with Mommy.

I know I'm a bit biased, but isn't he just adorable?!

He's Here!

Born Monday, 9/13, at 1:09 pm! 7 lbs, 9 oz, 20 1/4 inches long.

We came home from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon, and the 3 of us are doing great!

40.5 weeks...the day before he was born!

3 days to go...

10 days to go!

He's definitely way out front! Matt says it looks like I have a basketball under my dress! =)

We think we're pretty much ready...so we're just waiting for our little man to make his entrance!

Baby's room

Matt finished painting the baby's room on Friday, and he and one of our friends set everything up for me while I was out shopping. I almost cried when I saw everything together. It's becoming more real every day!!

We're not quite done getting things in order, but I wanted to share the awesome paint job!

The dresser will double as a changing table, as soon as we get a pad for it.


The bedding we chose ending up matching the paint colors almost perfectly! What luck!

36 weeks...almost

Can you tell he's dropped down already? =) He dropped almost 2 weeks ago, as my lower back can definitely attest.

Hard to believe we have just over 4 weeks to go!

32 weeks!!

Sorry for the lack of belly pics! Check out the difference 14 weeks makes!

We're excited, and starting to get the baby's room put together. Matt refinished a dresser for him, and we picked out paint colors.

Only 8 weeks to go!!! Crazy how fast the time has gone.
