This boy needs a dog!

JD and I found an unfortunate Gardner Snake. JD took very good care of the dead snake to my disgust!

Back in the hospital but Mama couldn't take care of Evan. Papa had to do everything and sleep on the "comfy" hospital cot!

Welcome Evan

Evan's First Day

We have had a very rough three weeks. As many of you know I had an emergency c-section and then developed a staph infection at the hospital, came home and then was readmitted a few days later. I then developed a reaction to medication I was taking that presented itself as complications at my surgical site, which lead to days more of pain and a cat scan that fortunately showed everything was normal. I am now getting stronger, taking short walks and feeling better everyday.

I want to thank everyone for your support, whether it was food, thoughts, prayers, phone calls, watching JD, or cleaning my house....THANK YOU!

Please enjoy these pictures now that I have 5 min to do this.

Love to you all!

Evan Come Out!

And 22 inches long!

Meeting Big Brother!

Grandma took good care of Evan while Mama and Papa were still in surgery!

Activities while waiting for Evan

We tried everything to get Evan to come on time. We figured if we started some projects that I would go into labor while everything was crazy. As we know that didn't happen. Here are some of the crazy things we did hoping that he would come out.

Tearing out of the fireplace and replacing it with a new mantel and tile. We then had new carpet put in throughout the house! No baby.

I jumped up and down on the dance floor at Brian and Veronica's wedding! Not even a contraction.

We took JD to the zoo...I was a few days late at this point. Figured driving to Tacoma would put me far enough from the hospital and put me into labor. Nope that didn't work either!

I washed the car and mowed the lawn while Dan watched....wonder what the neighbors thought?
Heck, I mowed the lawn three times!

Day before Evan was due... Easter Egg Hunt

Evan is now late so Dan decided it was a good time to dig up the front yard and install a sprinkler system. Yes, the project got finished and Evan still was not here!

Who needs a sprinkler system when you have JD?!
