 So here are some More pics of our little cutie pie. We are so lucky, He was sleeping throught he night at about 7-8 weeksish. The orange shirt was my absolute favorite church outfit and I was sad the day I put it on him and it was too small:(
 This is his 2 month pic I can't believe how big he's gotten!
 Jax with Grammy all ready to be blessed
 ALL of our wonderful family that could make it to support us!! (there were many loved ones with their support that couldn't make it)
 AWE:)


 I love My Nana She means the world to me!!

 Shane and I and all the Kiddo's

After the blessing Jax passed out on the floor for lite 3 hours. He has a herniated belly button so that's why it looks a little weird. It was so hot in our house so we stripped him down and there he slept!

Have 6 Months really gone by?

 Oh mane I cannot believe it has been 6 months since I last posted. I have some serious catching up to do! so, Jax was born (sure am glad I'm not still pregnant) Our little man decided to make his entrance into the world 2 and a half weeks early and Mommy was grateful! On March 22nd, 2012, I came home from work for lunch. Shane had the rest of the day off so he was home as well. I had thought that my water had broke but I wasn't sure. I decided that it hadn't and that I was going to go back to work. Well as I got back in my car to drive to work, a gush of water, YES my water had broke!!!


We got to the hospital at about 1:30pm that afternoon, as you know hospitals take their time so we didn't really know if i was in labor or not yet. about 2 hours later a nurse came in and said "we're going to have a baby!" I was a little nervous!
 I labored through the night with out much progress, it was long and I honestly didn't get much sleep. Shane slept on and off but didn't get much either. At about 9 am (20+ hours later) i was still in labor. The doctor came in and checked me and found another fore bag of water that needed to be ruptured. This all took place at about 10:30 am (no drugs up to this point) at this point the contractions were coming hard and fast and I hadn't slept at all the night before so I decided to get and epidural..
 after the epidural, I slept for 3 hours or so. When I woke up the nurse checked me and said your complete my EXACT words were " so now what to we wait for" I had no idea what I was in store for. I started pushing at 2:05 pm (25 hours AFTER my water broke) Jax was born at 2:53pm weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. He was so perfect and healthy. He came out whimpering and it was the best sound I have ever heard.
 They placed him on my chest immediately after he was born and I will never forget how he looked up at me and we made eye contact for the first time. I fell in love!
 So here are a few pics of our little man at the hospital,/home and shortly after. Sorry I am so delayed on the post.



Definitely more to come
