We are home

Well, in case you didn't get the message on Facebook - Hughes Heath Hamrick aka Tripp arrived Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 11:25a.m. weighing 7.7lbs and was 19.5 in long. He is beautiful and healthy and we are now adjusting to a family of four. Thus far, he is a good baby and we are loving just looking at him and watching all those cute newborn things.

As everyone else puts their labor stories I will put mine it is pretty uneventful. I went to the dr. friday and there was absolutely nothing going on. However that night I felt horrible, all day Saturday I felt horrible. Then about 5:45 Sunday morning I woke up went to the bathroom - had a contraction, had another, then another. I thought I should time these things starting at 6:15 they were coming every 5 minutes. So, at 6:30 I woke up Heath and said if this lasts for 45 more minutes we are going to the hospital. They lasted - we went to the hospital got there at 8 was at a 3, at a 4 at nine, at a 6 at 10 had the epidural and he came at 11:25. All I can say is that when my babies decide to come, they come and don't waste a lot of time which is fine by me!!!!

Anyway, here he is on Day 1

Ready to come home (you know, I know carseats are the law but why must they look so uncomfortable.)

Proud Big Sis - she is doing ok with him has her great moments and not-so-great moments but for the most part is doing good. She is feeling a little under the weather right now so that does account for some drama.

Shout Out

Ok, I have to give a big Shout Out to my friend Cami - you have to check out her embroidery website at her latest entry - those cute little things are for our little man. Arent' they just precious, I just can't wait to see sweet Tripp in those cute little things. She does awesome work - so next time you need something sweet for those little ones keep her in mind!

First Day of School

Well, I am so far behind in blogging that I am thinking I may just skip the month of July and start with the biggest thing in Ava's world and that is the start of preschool. Here she is on the first day of school and she just started her third week this week. She has done pretty well, up until today she has ran right in and saved her meltdowns for later in the day. Today they had to take her screaming and kicking but after the intial meltdown she had the best day yet... go figure just like her to be a little backwards.

Such a big girl! I may have some random July posts we did a lot that month - the fourth, Ava turned 2 with two parties, and vacation to Estes Park, CO and a visit with our favorite little boy Corbin and his precious little sis Callie.

Currently, we are pretty much done with Tripp's nursery and I will post pics of that soon. We are just waiting on him, I have about a month left. Nuts - somedays it feels like this is taking forever and other days it feels like it is flying by.
