Mom and Pop Came!

We've been so blessed to have our parents come- first Dan's parents and then mine.  Pam, Dan's mom, stayed with us for about a week and a half and helped us transition, which we are so thankful for, then my parents came out for a little less than a week.  It has been great.  Thank you for all your much appreciated help everyone!  I love our family!

Jack got a new hat for Christmas :)

We went to Thurman's Cafe for lunch one day... this burger was huge and delicious.  Dan and I actually went a few days before this too haha.  It's just so good!  People wait in line for HOURS just to eat this burger!

Jack's blessing day- 01/01/12.  Dan did a great job and Jack only cried for half of it :)

I Can't Get Enough!

Jack decided today was the day he was going to smile non-stop and even giggle!  He is doing so well and we love him SO much!

A Newsie Boy?

Nope!  It's Jack!

Photos of Jack!

A quick update:
Jack is doing great- growing and changing fast!  Maybe I'm biased, but he is so stinkin' cute, I can't stop staring at him.  He weighs right around 10 pounds and is almost 22 inches long.  We love him!!

My good friend Kimberly Potterf came by and took some family photos a week or two ago (my days and nights run together...) and turned out great!  She is so talented.  If you ever need pictures taken, she's your girl.  Check her out!  Here are some of our favorites:

Manchild Finally Came!

Meet Jack.  He's cute and fat.

 

Jackson Timothy Adair came to meet us on November 29th, 2011 (his due date!) at 8:22pm.  He only made his mamma push for 20 minutes.  He weighs a whopping 9 pounds 1 oz, 20.5 inches long, and has a 14 inch head... big boy!  He is a superb eater and sleeper so far (praying that will last)!  

So the story:

I had been having contractions for 2 and a half weeks, so when November 29th rolled by, I had no hope of actual labor happening.  I decided to go to the gym for a good work out in the morning, go home to shower and clean up, then head to Marshalls to continue my nesting, something I have been obsessing over in the last few weeks.  I found some cute kitchen towels and an oven timer and decided to go stand in line to pay for them when... you guessed it... my water broke, or at least I was hoping so because who wants to pee their pants in public, right?  The one day I wear my light grey sweats!  So I frantically dropped the stuff I was going to buy and waddled out to the car.  I tried calling Dan, no luck.  He was taking a final and didn't have good phone reception.  I called a few more times, no luck.  I started to drive home laughing to myself when he called back.  He got out of his final with a standing ovation from his class and hopped on the bus to meet me at home.

We made it to the hospital at about 2:30pm hoping I didn't just pee my pants- turns out my water broke.  Every time I laughed, more came out, so Dan decided to make me hysterically laugh non-stop.  Ha! I was dilated to 5 cm already so they wanted to get thing going.  They started me on pitocin (sp?) and I got the epidural and things started to to feel good.  The epidural worked fantastic until it came time to push... then it became super painful.  I only had to push for 20 minutes and along came Jack.  He came so fast, he beat the doctor- the nurse had to take the snap!

It was the most amazing feeling to hold him for the first time (and every time I hold him).  I have never felt so proud in my life.  I have never been so in love with Dan in my life.  How can I love a baby I have never met so much?  Incredible.  Absolutely incredible.  He (Jack and Dan) are absolutely perfect!  The whole process was perfect.

Here are some pictures:

Early Debut?

No, he's not early.  Just an awesome (yeah, right) picture of myself.  What, is that not the best costume ever?  It was only $.59
