Trae's 1st Week of Life!

I guess MP updated ya'll on the labor and delivery of our little boy so I thought I'd post Trae's first week at home. Although we aren't getting much sleep and all he likes to do is sleep, eat and poop he is so much fun! We are so blessed that he is here and healthy. Thanks to our friends and family for all of your love and support! Daddy , Trae and big sister Roxy

Me and my babies!

Soo serious..he may be stirrin something up!

Any resemblance to the animals on his bouncer?!

Smooshed face

A Bundle of Joy

Our adventure stared Sunday morning at 7:30 AM. Holly was in labor for a total of six hours. Here she is still looking good at 3 hours into it.

Our new arrival came at 4:01 PM weighing in at 8 lbs 8 ounces and was 21 inches long. He is a heavy weight for sure.

A little one on one time with Mommy and Trae

Fresh after a nice bath and combed hair.

I think I'm turning Japanese

He makes a good Jedi Knight.

Our lil dude gave us a scare as he had some fluid in his lungs. He spent two days in the NICU. That is why he has a bunch of wires on him. And like all babies he cries a lot.

In the end we were so excited to come home. Baby is doing great and Mommy is recovering well. As for now team Daddy thinks that he looks like us. Mommy thinks the he is a little more on her team. Maybe it's the cheeks. See the old lady in the back, yeah we don't know her, but she wanted to come home with us.
Welcome home lil guy.

We are very thankful for all the support from family and friends. A special shout out for Trae's grandparents that have done so much already and to the great care at McKay Dee. They were awesome.

Mommy tested. Daddy approved.

4th of July/Amos Family Reunion! ! !

Yeah! The 4th of July is one of our favorite Holidays and this year over the 4th we had our Amos Family Reunion. Friday we had a YUMMY red, white and blue pancake breakfast at MPs parents then we spent the afternoon at the Salomon Center in Ogden. That night we went to the Brook's house on Morgan for a BBQ and then off to the Layton fireworks with our friends! The reunion continued thru Saturday up in Park City. We had a good time at the reunion and look forward to the next one. Being nine months prego with all this excitement and two weeks left to go I was hoping Trae would want to come over the 4th but I guess he didn't think so. So, maybe next weekend! The Amos Family (we got more tramp then family in the shot)

All of the cute cousins for Trae to play with:)!

Every year the guys do a tank war, it is hilarious!

This year Grandma Amos gave all the gals patriotic scarfs, we decided to make a fashion statement with ours! (HOTT !!!)

Me an M at the Layton fireworks

Every year we go with our friends to the fireworks, this time next year me and Hanna (left) will have our babies so then Brittany's (middle) little girl Brooklyn will have friends to play with!

Maternity Photos

These pics we had done before our little boy gets here. The photographer from our wedding, Mauree who does amazing work did these pics for us. I think they turned out beautiful, she did a wonderful job like always! She has been taking all my prego photos every four weeks, it's cool to see how much you grow and how fast. It has been fun, thanks Mo. We shaved M's head just for the photos, haha just kidding, the summer heat was making him too hot with longer hair. We are going to put these pics up in Trae's room until we can get some of him.

I always have the hardest time not to laugh during pictures!

I get the giggles easily.

Oh how cute, but look at his smashed nose!

It's crazy how big your belly gets!

37 weeks!!!

So here I am at 37 weeks and we are so anxious for him to come. Only 3 weeks to go (hopefully less) I'm going to have to admit, I think that the third trimester has been the hardest. I am so uncomfortable and I can't sleep, but I know it will be worth it! Our last Dr. appt was Tuesday and it was the torture appt. he checks to see if things are getting started and so far I am 50% effaced! and only dilated half a centimeter. He said he weighs 6.75 pounds and he should come before his due date. So he's on his way!

Welcome to Trae's Jungle

Yeah! We are so excited that our nursery is finally finished, we have been working on it since the day we found out we were having a little boy. We have three weeks until he is here and we hope he loves his jungle room. I give MP and his dad all of the credit (even though I picked it all out) because they did all of the hard work. We only have a two bedroom town home so our office is now a nursery too. I was sad that we had to keep the computer in the same room but after it was done, it doesn't look so bad. One day we will have more room!

Here's my honey, hard at work putting the crib together!

It was very hard to match the green to the bedding, but it turned out okay!

Roxy thinks the animals are her chew toys.

His Mobile is my favorite!

It is as comfy as it looks.

Best Baby Shower Ever!!

My baby shower was on June 2nd at Castlebrook and it was so beautiful!!! Thanks to my mom and sisters who worked so hard to make it all happen, also thanks to Missy, LeeAnne, Amber and Andrea. I have the best family and friends, it was so much fun. I didn't want it to end. They all worked so hard and I am thankful for them, also thanks to my mom for coming up from St. George to be here.
