January Happenings

We've had quite the busy month with the preparation and arrival of our little guy!  Here's what we've been up to:

At 38 weeks, I took a comparison picture of my pregnancy progression!



I enjoyed an amazing spa day at Green Valley Ranch thanks to Jason's Christmas gift he gave me!  I had never been to a spa before this, and it definitely made me want to splurge weekly and indulge in massages!  If only we had enough money to do that!  I had a prenatal massage that was an hour long, but went by so fast!  Unfortunately I couldn't take advantage of the sauna or the whirlpool area, but I took my time, relaxed, and took it all in while I was there.  













Jess and I went shopping to try to kick start some contractions!  We went to Town Square and enjoyed some donuts from PinkBox Donuts, which were super delicious!  I tried a S'mores donut and Scarlett indulged in a hot pink chocolate one!  After our shopping trip, Hudson wanted to experience what a big pregnant belly feels like, so we showed him!  He insisted on putting the ball back in his shirt and thought it was the funniest thing!





I took an insane amount of pictures in the hospital, most of the cutest little baby EVER and a few of us as a family!  




We finally got discharged after spending 4 days in the hospital, and Harley got to meet his little brother for the first time.  He wasn't allowed to get too close initially, so he decided he should snuggle with Nolan's clothes, instead:


Nolan slept in his Pack N' Play for his first night home, and looked like a sweet little burrito:


We introduced the pacifier to Nolan, and it's almost as big as his head.  He enjoys this one the best though out of a few we've tried!


He spent time watching T.V. with Daddy:



Nolan watched his very first NFL game, and dressed for the occasion!


He got his firth bath at home and didn't like it too much.  He hated his body being washed with the washcloth, but loved having water poured over his hair and being shampooed. 




We went to lots of doctor's appointments, but this was taken at his very first appointment.  He was such a good boy, he treated mommy to a Sonic corn dog (and hamburger, tots, fries, and a shake) that she had been craving her whooooole pregnancy!



Our sweet boy turned 1 week old!

We tried to take some pictures of Nolan and Harley together, and failed miserably:


So we took a break and snuggled, instead:


We got the cutest video of Nolan having the hiccups while being burped (I melt every time!)



Nolan had his newborn pictures taken with Kassidy Baker Photography (check her out, she's great!)  


I caught some adorable baby yawns, cuddling with Dad, and dreamy smiles:




I'm sure our months are going to be much more eventful now that we have a little baby boy taking up lots of our time and activities, and we wouldn't want it any other way!  We'll continue to update our monthly happenings as best we can!  I'll leave you with the cutest little sleeper EVER....
