Evy's 2 Week Check-up!

On Wednesday we went to the doctor for Evy's 2 week checkup! She is doing very well and the doctor says everything looks great! She weighs 7lbs 6oz and is still 20 inches long....not that we expected her to grow that much in height in 2 weeks:) I can't believe she's 15 days old already! The time is flying by so quickly. She was such a good girl at the doctors too! She didn't shed one tear! We credit that a lot to our fabulous pediatrician! He's amazing! We will be heading back next week for another weigh in. Wouldn't it be nice if my doctor wanted me to come in every week for a weigh in and said putting on weight was a good thing:) Haha!

Well, we will keep you all posted and can't wait to get our delivery and her 1 week pictures back to post those!

Newborn Hospital Pics!

As promised, here are a some of Evy's 1 day old pics. We are having our newborn session tomorrow and are so excited! Those will be posted soon! So we might have gone a little crazy with the pictures, but you can never have too many of your children, right? These are the bella babies from the hospital and we absolutely love them! We can't believe just how beautiful our daughter is....although we might be a little bias:) Feel free to look at the website to view the rest. The photographer was great....www.bellababyphotography.com, click bella baby, view pictures and the password is 0714evelyndurbin! They're only available until July 30th, but of course we bought them all:)

Evy is doing great so far. She's a pretty good sleeper and we are having a blast with our new blessing. Enjoy the pics!

Our New Princess...Evelyn Catherine Durbin

On July 14, 2010 Durbin & I welcomed our daughter, Evelyn Catherine, into the world. She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 20 inches long. She's absolutely amazing....perfect in every way! She was born at 3:33pm...the most memorable moment of my life. I was lucky and in labor for about 5 hours from start to finish. Nothing can describe the feeling when the doctor says, "One more push and we will have a baby!" Since Durbin and I waited to find out the sex (yeah surprises), it was an indescribeable feeling and rush of emotion when I realized our new baby was a girl. Durbin said one of his first emotions was...Oh, this just became a lot more expensive:) LOL I can't believe our little princess is already here and has made every day even more special than the one before. Of course she already has Daddy wrapped around his finger! Shocker, right?

It's wonderful that Durbin has about 3 weeks at home to spend with Evelyn and I! I never could have asked for a better husband. He has been more than helpful....with everything! To watch him play with her, talk to her, or even change a diaper......melts my heart! He's even teaching her high five's already:) She's slowly catching on! I think right now her favorite thing to do is poop while daddy holds her and smile while she's doing it! (There will be pictures of that face posted soon)

Durbin and I thank everyone for stopping by to meet Evelyn and are so excited for the rest of you to meet her soon. I'm sure you will love and adore her as much as we do! We had 1 day old professional pictures taken and will be having more newborn pictures taken here within the next several days. I'll get those posted during one of her naps:)

Thank you to our family and friends for making this past week a very memorable and wonderful experience. We are happy to bring a little girl to the world of boys! Girls are just soooo much fun...especially when you're dressing them in all the cute outfits! (Grandma is going nutty with adorable clothes.....Evelyn will definitely be well dressed:))

We love you with all of our hearts Evelyn and are thrilled you are finally here!

2nd Set of Maternity Pictures!!

At about 38 weeks we had our 2nd set of maternity pictures taken. Without surprise, Kristen with Bellies & Babies Photography, did a fantastic job! (www.belliesandbabies.com). Most of them I won't be posting since they are boudoir pictures, but here are the ones we really loved & deemed "appropriate!" Thanks again Kristen for great work. We can't wait to see you here within the next couple of weeks.

GOODBYE WORK.......

As of June 28, I am officially done working! I am looking forward to my "4" months with our new addition. I am sooooo lucky that Durbin has still given me the option to work or not work! What the heck.....it's all extra moooooolah to spend on our little one!:) (I think he wants me to stay at home full time, which is great)! It's nice to not be in debt, not have a mortgage, & plan for the future....that parts a little scary!! Despite all that, I think Durbin fears I'll spend all our money on our little one.....is that wrong??:) LOL We are so happy with how everything is in our lives and are looking forward to the next several months:) Everything is set to go! Now all we need is a little baby to brighten up our already wonderful life!!!
