He is here!!

Sorry it has been so long but our precious baby is finally here! He is now 2 weeks old and the cutest baby I have ever seen! It was a long road to get here but worth every minute. After being in labor for 24 hours and thinking he was never going to come, I started to get discouraged but on July 11th at 7:45 Easton Jake Heywood was born c-section. He weighed 8 lbs 9 oz and was 19 and 1/2 inches long. He has been such a great baby! I have finally felt like I am recovering and I think I am finally starting to get the whole breast feeding down. I love being a mom and becoming a mom has made me appreciate my own mother so much more. I never thought I could love someone so much he has made our life so worth while. Sheldon and I love being parents and couldnt be happier. Now Easton is 2 weeks old and is 9lbs 7oz and 21 and 3/4 inches!! He is growing so fast! He has been so great and our family wouldn't be complete without him! Here are some pictures of our sweet baby enjoy!


He was so mad when he came out!

He was so big I don't know how he fit in me! We think he got his big hands from his Papa John.
First moments with his Daddy.
I don't think there is anything sweeter, Sheldon falling in love with Easton and Easton falling in love with his daddy.
This is one of my favorites, He is stylin even in the hospital! :)
Easton loves to look at Sheldon and loves when he sings to him.
2 days of being home and he can already hold his binky!
Isn't he so sweet!
Cutest buns i have ever seen!
I don't think babies come any cuter!
He has some of the chubbiest cheeks i have ever seen!

Still Pregnant

Mandi this picture is for you. :) I haven't really liked taking pictures of myself while being pregnant for 2 reasons. 1. I feel fat and 2. I have my braces still so I feel like I look like I'm a pregnant teenager. But by special request of my lovely sister I decided I would put one picture of myself up. I know it doesn't look like it in this picture but I promise I am very Happy to be pregnant and I can't wait to be a mom. He should be coming anyday and we are hoping sooner than later! Sheldon's family has been out of town and just got back yesterday so Sheldon told Easton he has the green light and he can come out now. :) (we didn't want grandma to miss the birth of her first grandson)<

What Child Is This?

Sorry this is a little blurry its a ultrasound picture of our little Easton back in March. His little profile is so sweet. :) (i took a picture of a picture so i hope you can make it out)

Now this is the ultrasound picture taken about 2 weeks ago. Is this the same child? Ha Ha he is getting so big it was hard to see all of him. But this is also a profile shot and man look at those lips. When Sheldon and I were looking at this we could not believe our eyes! But don't worry his lips won't really be that big the ultrasound tech. said that his face was angled a little different so its not the complete side view of his face. Thats why his lips look so big. We thought it was pretty funny though.

Ribs anyone?

Last night we went to Cheesecake Factory with the Heywood family. We ordered anything we wanted and my sister in law McKenna decided she wanted the ribs. She is a whole 50 pounds and ate them all herself!! That girl can eat! But by looking at her you would never know.

My Livvy Lu

I thought I would do a little tribute to my beautiful niece Livvy. She is so sweet and not to mention smart!! Every time Sheldon and I come over she runs up to give us hugs and yells Easton!! She hugs my belly and tells me that she loves Easton so much. It always makes me smile. She is such a great older sister and cousin! She loves to "babysit"(she likes to watch her and make her laugh) little Presley Rae and she told me she will do the same for Easton. I love this little girl!! I don't know what our family would do without her! She is so great because she has such a great mother! I love you Livvy Lu, Easton can't wait to come and play with you!

A few of my favorite things

These are some of my favortie shoes for Easton. They look like little vans!! I couldn't pass them up.

Here are some sneaker socks that my mom got. How cute are these!! I have them in every color so he will always match.
This cute little onsie my mom got made I can't wait till he can fit in it. Even though it looks so tiny I'm sure when he take him home from the hospital it will still be too big.
This shelf is right above Eastons crib. Of course my sisters and my mom help me put it up. I love the picture of the little boy the colors go so well in the room. The cute little teddy bear was Sheldon's very first teddy bear, so it makes it so special that he can share it with our little guy.
My favorite blanket!! This blanket is really special because Niki made it! It matches his bedding perfectly and its so soft. This is the first blanket Niki has ever made and look at how great it looks!! Niki I think you did a great job and I'm so glad Easton gets to have the first of many blankets you will make cause your pro now. Im sure this will be his favorite too because his Auntie made it special for him!


Last but definatly not least, my most favorite gift of all!! Niki wrote this poem and framed it to go in Easton's room. As most of you know she is really talented and writes the most beautiful poems. I think this is one of her best! Thanks Niki for this special poem I don't think you truely know how much it means to me!! You put it so perfectly and I am so greatful to have such a great sister who will make such a great mom!!
