The New Cute Overload

As some of you know Cute Overload is my favorite website, but since we have been home with this little guy I haven't needed my daily fix of pictures of baby animals. He makes me so giddy with his cuteness! We are all doing awesome, and love being home.

New Arrival

He is here! We named him Ari Vincent. He was born on Monday, July 20th at 6:09 am. He weighed 7lb 2oz, 20 inches long, and has dark hair all over his head. He is really cute. We are still in the hospital because I have been having fevers and he is under the lights for some jaundice he got from a bruise on his head. Tomorrow should be our check out day.
This whole thing ended up being a lot harder than I thought. I got toxemia and had to be induced, the labor took 18 hours with 2 hours pushing. I don't know how I made it through it, but somehow I did. Mikey was awesome through the whole thing. I couldn't have done it without him.

waiting and waiting...

I was going to keep working till Ari came, but everyone at work was freaked that I would go into labor there. So now I am just waiting at home and there isn't a whole lot of tummy action going on today so I think that he will be late.
We are also waiting for my brother to be home from his mission in Italy. He is due tomorrow night. I hope Ari beats him.
Thankfully we don't have to wait to see Harry Potter. We saw it last night, it was great.

little house

Here is a picture of our little house. I have lots of plans for it, but I am too tired and anxious for Ari's arrival to execute any of them at the moment. Mikey is already turning into quite the handyman. It is small, but perfect for the three of us. We have been here for about a month and we love it.

ooohhh...

My last post is incorrect. I was not 8 month and 3 weeks, but just 35 weeks along. My smarter, more knowledgeable older sister explained how I am supposed to count down, along with all the other pregnancy stuff I need to know about. (Thanks Rae.)
I am now 38 weeks along and pretty much ready for the little guy to arrive... I think.


I think it's funny that I thought this tummy was even worth taking a picture of.
