Little man

I have known since day one we have what you would call an "overdeveloped child." of there is such a thing. It's like we cooked him too long. Not to mention he was 9lbs. The day we brought him home he was holding his head up. Week two kicking off with his feet and smiling! He is fast. Now at week 5 my little guy coos. Rolls over. Take his Binky in and out by himself. And today he was on his tummy and army crawled away! What 5 week old thinks he can crawl. This is all fine and dandy fast learner and all. Except for he is extremely mobile so I can't leave his side. So much for peeing by myself!

.Camping trip with Baby.

We are insane people and we took our 1 month old baby on a camping trip.

Insane. 

HE was Warm.

I was not. 

I ended up sleeping in the car : ( 

but I got some really cute pictures : )

.Month one complete.

After fear and months of waiting I went into labor July 16th the actual due date of my baby boy. 

I did not think it was real sitting in the hospital waiting for the epidural (which was a life saving part of labor). It got real really fast. The actual birth went really smoothly I went in the 15th and 10:30pm and York Arlo Walker came out the next afternoon at 2:22pm. Weighing in a wopping 9 pounds! and being 20 inches long! I could not believe that I only got two stitches. and much to everyones surprise and maybe because a little bit of medication I was telling everyone how easy it was and that I was ready for number 2. 

p.s. I am no where near being ready for #2. 

 Casey was so proud of be a daddy. I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with how cute he was following him around the room as he was getting cleaned off. Casey had a giant smile the whole time. it definatley distracted me from me getting stitches eeek.

  Bring baby home was overwhelming. I have a lot of experience with babies being in a family of 9 I always felt like I would feel like i know how its done! this was not the case. I was at a loss for everything. I was having a hard time nursing and everything was more than I expected it to be. after I got diagnosed with post partum I felt extremley defeated! I am and was afraid of taking the medication they offered and it only seemed to occur when I was nursing this brought me to make an extremly hard desicion becuase I believe so strongly that I should nurse my baby. I decided to go to bottles. My relationship with my baby has grown from this I can now bond with my baby : ) and I love him more than ever. I sometimes feel the guilt feeding him a bottle but I know deep down that it is the right thing for us to do and that I am doing my very best

 

  

  I cannot keep up with Casey! He is so great with York. He is always helping and playing with him. HE loves him. I adore the bond they share and i'm really grateful Casey is such a hands on daddy. I always wanted a husband who would come home excited to hold his baby everyday and all my dreams came true.

I am in love with my little family : )!
