Pictures

We finally got pictures taken of Noah. He was so good the whole time. But he is always good, we are so lucky to have this little guy. Both Andy and I just love him to death, we are so grateful for this little blessing in our lives. Andy said the other night "now I can see how your parents wanted so many kids!"(don't get any ideas Andy!) I look up to my mom for having 7. They are so much fun and WORK. I am grateful for my mom and all she has done in my life to prepare me to be a mom. The thought of losing my mom makes me want to cry. I honestly don't know what I would do without her!!! I talk to her at LEAST once a day. She is my best friend next to Andy. I am just so blessed to have such an amazing family. :)

Random Pictures

Here are just a few pictures of the past couple of days. He is getting so big. He will be 8 weeks on friday. Both Andy and I are just loving this little boy. He is now sleeping more through the night and starting to smile so much! I love being a mom.

Haircut

After having Noah I felt like I needed a change. So my BEST friend Jolanye cut my hair. I was really nervous but so ready for a change. We decided to cut off 7 inches. Ya that was a lot for me. I love Jolayne she is the best friend ever. She is always there for me no matter what. I am so glad that I cut my hair I don't feel like such a frumpy mom. I actually want to cut it a little shorter. Thanks Jo I freakin love you to death!!!!

1 month old

So little Noah was a month on the 19th. He is so much fun, we are loving him. I have not posted very many pictures because he came down with some baby acne. :( so sad. I feel like an awful mom too. My mom told me to put some hyrdocortizone cream on his face because it would help. Well it just kept getting worse. So I called the doctor and asked what to do and they said don't put anything on it. It only makes it worse......WOOPS! The doctor said he is just working out all the hormones from pregnancy. Well they are just barely starting to clear up. I feel so bad I should have just called the doc in the first place.

Baby Noah

Sorry these are so late. This whole breastfeeding thing is hard, if any of you have any suggestions let me know. Me and Andy both fight over who gets to hold him. He is such a good baby so far. But he is only 12 days old. But here he is...... Noah was born December 19th at 5:20am weighing in at 7lbs 5oz and 20 inches tall. ...Dr. Kirkman ended up starting me on thursday at 11am. At 3am on friday I was only dialated to a 4 then the nurse came in to check on me at 4:45 and she said I was a 10 and ready to push so they called Dr Kirkman. I pushed once with the nurse and twice with the doc and Noah was here. I lucked out!!! Andy did really well with it all. He is so cute with Noah. I just am so grateful for Andy!!! He has helped so much I still have not done any laundry or cleaned the house or made dinner. He is AWESOME and I love him so much!!

Going Private

We decided we are going to go private so all of you who want to look at our blog, leave your email address and I will add you.

Just Some Baby Stuff/ 6 Weeks to go!!

We are trying to get the baby's room finished right now. We are going to paint and we are putting some new carpet in. So I thought I would decorate a little. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought letters then used modge podge to glue the scrapbook paper on. It was really easy. (Thanks Camie for the idea)

My sweet mother made these burp clothes for us. She has an awesome sewing machine and she loves to sew. I bought just clothe diapers and then picked ribbon that I wanted to go on them. I actually made two of them and it took me like two days. She had ten of them them out in a night. My mother is a saint. I love her so much and am so grateful for all she does for me and Andy. Andy thought we were crazy for making these. But he just says that our baby will barf in style. :) haha If our baby is anything like his side of the family, then he will barf all the time and Andy will be so grateful for the burp clothes. I pray for the clark genes to pull through on this one. WE ONLY HAVE 6 WEEKS TO GO!!! I CAN'T WAIT!! We are both getting so excited.
