Smile!

Beau started smiling last week at three weeks old. It is so much fun to see your child smile at you for the first time! We are all loving Beau and adjusting well to having a new baby in the house. Owen loves being a big brother and asks to hold Beau all the time. As for mom and dad we are doing well. Beau gets up twice in the night to eat so I am very tired. I am not used to this getting up thing. Owen sleep night right away so it has been and adjustment for me. Andy thinks that Beau does not like him. I think that it is just because the evenings are his fussy time and that is when Andy is at home! Over all we are all doing great. Beau is a great baby and we are loving watching him grow and seeing his BEAUtiful smile!

Pictures

Oh so tired!

My brother brought his camera over to my parents house on Sunday and took these pictures of Beau. I thought that he did a great job and that I would share them!

Shoes!

On Saturday my mom and I went shopping and one of our stops was Dillard's to try on shoes. My mom was trying on some heels and Owen decided that he needed to try them on as well. It was so cute that I have to post pictures of it. Someday he will be mortified about these pictures and will hate that I posted them on the internet!

Night out!

Last week we took Owen out to ChuchE Cheese for the first time. We meet Melissa, Lacey and the kids for pizza and of course games. Owen had a lot of fun. Andy and I were both very tired and out of it but it was worth it to see O having so much fun.

Baby Update!

Well I went to the doctor on Wednesday morning and I had not changed at all in a week. So we talked about our options and what the doctor would like to see. We have been open this whole pregnancy about doing a v back. My doctor was also encouraging that we would try for a v back but be open minded and just wait and see at the end how things go. This being said since I had not progressed at all we are now looking at doing a c-section. He does not want me to go over due and end up with a huge baby and I really don't want that either! So I left the doctor with the plan of seeing him again on Tuesday morning to see if I have progressed and if we would have the option of inducing, if inducing is not an option we will go ahead with a c-section that is scheduled for Wednesday morning! I am so glad the we have a plan and that I do not have to go through the torture of going over due again.
