Here's My Birth Announcement

My parents are so cool! They heard about a great way to let everyone know about my birth--sending them a baseball card with my picture on it! I thought I would paste it on here, just in case we missed someone with the card. (Oh by the way, my dad is so jealous! He's actually thinking of buying some cards with his picture on it! But, who would want that? Just kidding dad!)

Here's the front of the card; cheering on my favorite National League Team!



Here's the back of the card, with all of my vital information!

What I Did Instead of Watching American Idol

While my mommy was watching American Idol, Daddy and I were busy taking some more pictures for all of my fans...well, at least my grandparents!

Keep the cards and letters coming. Daddy reads each one from my adoring fan base!

Here I am being coy...and playing hard to get...






When you have a bad hair day, what can you do?




Okay, that song really didn't impress me! She could have done so much better!




My cheeks are starting to fill out, but trust me, not that much. They say the camera adds 3 pounds to you...I believe it!




I feel a laugh coming on...or is that really just gas?

Good Afternoon World!
My parents asked permission to add a few more pictures of me, and of course, I said yes! I love having pictures taken of me and my family! After all, I am really cute, or at least that's what everybody says about me!



A rare treat for my daddy...a quiet moment asleep...


Even my mommy found a moment to rest her eyes...or am I playing oppossum...




Here I am with my mommy...giving her a big yawn...





My new favorite position! My daddy read somewhere that this position helps with hiccups and other "digestion" problems...so far, it really does work and if you could actually see me when he's holding me like this, I really do like it!





Here's my "deer in the headlines look..."





Don't care what you say, this is just cute!

Angels Do Eventually Sleep



If angels could only learn to sleep during the night and not during the day! What a wonderful world it would be!

Just Me and My Boppie


Life could be harder, I suppose, and one day it will be; but for now...it's all good!

Bobby Cox, Are You Looking?


Mr. Bobby Cox...I am so ready to sign up for the Braves! I can play any position, but I really like third base! All I ask in return is free season tickets for my parents! Let's talk soon!

One of the things I do best...



Here's a picture of me last night, sleeping away in my little Baby Suite. You can barely see it, but I am wrapped in my favorite blanket--a sport's blanket...

More to come later...

The Big Day

Well, today was to be the big day. The doctor and the ultrasounds kept telling us that February 13 would be the big day for my arrival. My parents had been doing a great job to get everything ready--from my room, to the car seats in the car, even to having diapers and wipes ready ahead of time.

But, little did anyone know that I had other plans. For many weeks I had heard my daddy pray that God would send our little son when the time was right. Well, the right time wasn't February 13. The right day turned out to be Monday, February 4.

Let me tell you about the day--it was very long, but I will try to keep it short, my fingers still get tired from all of this typing stuff. Around 1:00 AM or so, my mommy started feeling "weird", that's how she described it. She was hurting, but not in a true labor kind of way. My mommy and daddy timed the pains and they were not very regular. And, as my mommy moved around the house, the pains got better.

My parents decided that mommy would go on to work, as would daddy. There really wasn't anything to worry about--it didn't appear to be anything serious going on, more than likely it was false labor. Well, by the time my mommy got to school, she knew she had made a mistake about going to work. She quickly began getting everything ready, so she could come on back home. Daddy was going to meet her there and then watch to see what was happening. Well, daddy and mommy never made it back home. Mommy's water broke and the school nurse said that she couldn't drive herself home. So, a teacher volunteered to take mommy to the hospital. Daddy left work, called the doctor's office to let them know what was happening, and mommy was on her way with me to the hospitial.

Mommy and I arrived at the hospital around 9:00 AM. Things began to move pretty quickly. Daddy started making phone calls. Nurses were all around. There were machines, and lights, and new sounds for me. Before long, mommy was getting an IV, medicine, and the doctor even came to check on us. My mommy was a real trooper. She did so good and put up with so much pain. All I kept hearing daddy say was "push." Not sure what that meant, but every time he said those words, I felt mommy in more pain.

Well, the process wasn't quick, but at 3:43 PM, I arrived in the world--my daddy says I was just about perfect from the first moment I arrived. He'll have to show you some pictures and let you decide whether or not I was as perfect as he says.

We are home from the hospital now. More than likely, I'll blog more now and keep you up to date on what's going on. We'll probably also add some new pictures of me to the blog as well, and you can see more of me, at least more than the ultrasound that has been on here for so long.

Thanks for all of your prayers. They really got us through it all!

Love,

Evan
