Better late than never...

Dave and I took these pictures the week before Simon was born. They aren't as exciting now that Simon is here, but I'm glad we have them and wanted to share.  I was 37 weeks pregnant and obviously had no idea he was so close to being born.  The photographer was awesome! She is a parent at the school where I teach. The pictures are from a few places around town here in good ole Auburn, IN.  

Our First Week Home

Here are a few pictures of our first week at home as a family! Simon is off the bili blanket and doing well. We've had our first doctor's appointment, first bath, first walk, and first nap in the crib.  Yesterday we took a shopping trip to Fort Wayne and Simon was a perfect doll. He didn't make a peep the entire time! I am going to enjoy these days while they last! Enjoy the pictures. You may have seen some on Facebook, but I will continue to update this blog as the weeks go by.  I hope they go slowly so we can savour every minute with our little peanut.

What a surprise... 

Dave was in Chicago, working at a marathon exposition and he got home just in time for Simon to start making his arrival!  He walked in the door at 11:45 pm and my water broke at 12:00 midnight!  We called the hospital and decided to wait a few hours before going in.  From the first phone call until we left the hospital with our little man, our experience was amazing. All of the nurses made us feel so special and took great care of all three of us.  We are so glad we decide to stay with our doctor and deliver here at our local hospital.  Who'd of thought the little guy would come 2 weeks early, but it was perfect-

 a perfect 10!
