Our Little Valentine

This was taken before Josh and I went out on our first date since Spencer was born.

We went to Ryans and had a wonderful time.
Our Valentine
What did you see?
Tummy time. He is so good at holding up his head. It is amazing!
Little Man Outfit!
Miss Jennifer gave me this outfit and guess what, it is reversible!

This is how we tell when Spencer is hungry. He starts sucking on Josh's nose.

Things are going great at the Foster home the past few weeks. Spencer has started to wake up only once during the night around 3-4 and then again around 6-7, so Mommy is getitng more sleep. He still will not sleep by himself and we have tried putting him in his Pack N' Play but he just loves to cuddle so much. He is getting so big and it is hard to believe that next Wednesday he will be two months old. Piper is doing so good with him and has started to bring him her football, like he is supposed to throw it for her. It is the cutest thing to watch. Check back next week for his two month old check up results and also pray for us as he will be getting his shots!

Growing Up So Fast

It is hard to believe it but Spencer is already 5 weeks old and he is growing like a weed. We took him to the doctor a couple of weeks ago(he has colic) and he weighed a whopping 9 pounds and 12 ounces, so I am sure he is over 10 pounds now. He is so cute and we love having him in our family. He is starting to have his own little personality, when he isn't crying. He loves to be rocked and laying under his jungle gym. Spencer also loves when Josh sticks his tongue out at him and raises his eyebrows, he makes the cutest faces. Here are some recent pictures of him. I am sure you will be able to tell how much he has grown!

Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone has a great Christmas. Here are a few pictures of Spencer and Piper as they get ready for Santa to come!

Look At Our Cutie!!

I am finally awake enough to post some pictures from the last week. We have been at home for two nights now and things seem to be going fairly well. He is eating much better and gaining weight. I am still very sore all over but every day gets a little bit better. We love having Spencer with us. It is amazing that you can love something so much that we have only had for 5 days! I hope everyone enjoys the pictures!

We Have Our Little Boy!!!

Little Spencer came very early Wednesday morning, December 12th and 2:32am. His Uncle Corey had been saying all along that that is when he would come! I started having contractions around 5:30am Tuesday morning and went to the hospital around four that afternoon. It was a very tough labor but it was well worth it. Spencer was 8 pounds and 20 inches,with blonde hair and blue eyes. But except for that he looks just like his Daddy. Josh was wonderful through the whole thing. It was the most amazing thing that either of us had ever experienced. We spend so much time just staring at him and being thankful for how lucky we are. We get to come home from the hospital tomorrow, so I will try to post some pictures in the next few days!

No Baby Yet!

We are still waiting for Little Spencer. We went in to the doctor yesterday and we were both a little disappointed. Basically, they told us that 60% of women have their babies within a week of the due date. So therefore, with ours being MONDAY, we have to wait ;(( So hopefully,he will come this week because this mama don't think she can take much more! However, if we make it to next Friday, then they will check to see if I am dilated and if I am then they will talk about inducing me. However, if I am not dilated at all they will make me go another week. Although, I swear that if they tell me that I will throw something at them and start screaming. Let's all pray that Little Spencer is here before Mommy and Daddy lose their minds with apprehension. All the bags are packed and ready to go, we are just waiting for Little Man! He probably weights about 8- 81/2 pounds right now, which I think is plently big and healthy enough! Let's hope he is not a ten pounder like his daddy!

One More Baby Shower

A few weeks ago, Amy and some other friends and family members through Josh and I our last big baby shower. It was at her and Corey's house and it was so nice. It was great to get to visit with everyone and we got some great presents. Some of my favorites were a lamp and rug to match the baby's nursery, an ABC book that Amy made for us and some really cute Christmas outfits for little Spencer. After the shower, we all celebrate Phyllis birthday by eating at Bit Shotz and then going back to Amy and Coreys for cake and presents. It was a great way to finish up the a wonderful day!

As for a baby update:

We went back yesterday for our checkup. His heartbeat was 144. His head his down, his back is laying up against the right side of my belly and his butt is up at my chest. The doctor said everything was looking good and he was approximately 7 pounds, although I think they might be a littl off. The best part: over the past 2 weeks I have only gained 1 pound!!! Only two more weeks to go!
