More Pictures

Before Matt went to the field and his mom was here visiting we decided to walk to pier after church. You may ask how did little bug like it? Here is a picture showing how excited he was to see the ocean:


Meanwhile, Matt was teaching Austin to read the proper way. There are names along the boards of the fence and Austin kept spelling them backwards so Matt took it upon himself to teach him the correct way to read:

Clean Apartment

For the first time since we moved into this apartment it is clean. I mean clutter free. The only thing is we move out in about a month and a half...


Here is a new picture of Jackson!

Cute Moment

Matt and I went on our first date Wednesday night to go see the new transformers movie (which was really really good by the way). Through out the entire movie I would pull out my phone to check on the time. Finally the movie is over and I call mom and I can hear Jackson crying in the background. Nana and Pappy said he hasn't been crying long he is just tired and they can't get him to sleep but he ate ok which was good. We hurry home and as soon as I hold him he quiets down and goes to sleep instantaneously. Got to be amazed at how wonderful that was for me. For one who didn't like kids up until the day her son was born how fast they can change. I am completely in awe of him and love him so much already.

Our New Family Member!

On June 30th (my due date) our new little family member was born at 1:42 am! It was an extremely long day. It started at 2:38 that morning with contraction every 10 minutes. Finally at about 4:30 Matt was getting ready to leave for work when I finally said "umm I think you should know I have been having contractions pretty consistantly for the past two hours". So he made a few phone calls and we headed to the hospital. When we were checked out I was still one cm but 70% effaced which was the only difference from the appointment last week. So I was sent home. We went to Kristen and Dj's until 2:30 the contractions were two powerful. Once again to the hospital! Once we were checked this time i was 3 cm so they sent me walking for two more hours. Well, I made it about hour and a half we went finally was admitted. We headed to the delivery room and a few hours later he was here! 6 lbs 13 oz and 21 in long. He was born with a cleft lip just like his cousin. It is really minor. He will have the surgery to correct at about 2-3 months and we are getting in contact with the department at the naval hospital on monday to set up a consultation.

On the side of our blog is the link to our web album. Hope you enjoy! On a side note: he held his head up on his own for a few seconds and when taking a nap on nana he lifted his head and switched sides on his own! He is only 3 days old! Come on bug you are growing way to fast...
