Our Lives...These Days

Our lives have truly changed after having our son. We didn't realize how much of an adjustment it would be to have this new little person in our home.


Our days are spent changing many, many smelly diapers.


Giving hugs and kisses to soothe an upset baby.

(Sometimes Daddy's beard and mustache are very "spiky" to Austin.)


Burping a very full and half asleep baby.


Latching into the car seat for a trip in the car.

And last but not least, the many pictures of basically the same pose that only mommy and daddy find so cute!

Strike a pose, Austin! I think he's yawning or making some crazy noise.
He's smiling and winking for the camera. (That's for all you ladies out there.)

Austin has arrived!!!

March 2nd at 10:44pm our son Austin came into the world! (8lbs 2oz 20 inches long)

Me in my bed in the Labor & Delivery Unit. I was extremely tired of dealing with contractions, but really excited to see our son.

Here is Daddy's bed right next to me, as we wait for little Austin to arrive.

Austin's bed is ready in our room, too. The hospital here does everything from cleaning and most testing to him right in the same room with us. It was really nice to know I could look over and see that my baby was doing ok.

Our precious little Austin, freshly delivered.

Proud new Daddy and worn out new Mommy.

Our handsome new little baby boy all cleaned up. I love his full head of hair!
Gotta keep his head covered and swaddled very tight.

Awwwww....I just melt everytime he looks at me. We are truly blessed to be parents and have this wonderful addition to our family.
