Evy's Newborn Pics at 1 week!

The long await NEWBORN/1 week pictures are here. I am way behind on posting things since our new little ANGEL is keeping me busy! We are enjoying every moment and learning so much as new parents. It sure makes me appreciate all the love and time our parents spent with us. There truly is nothing better than a love for your child!

Here are a few of our favorite newborn pics. It is so hard picking which ones are our favorite, but here are a few from Evy's 1st week here with us. Again, we had our favorite photographer, Kristin, with BelliesandBabies.com come for a visit. I sometimes wonder if we've gone crazy, but with over 1000 professional pics to choose from, the decision is much more difficult than I thought:)

This face leads me to believe Durbin and I have a lot in store for us in the future:)

Yeah Cardinals!

Daddy's little GIRL......there's nothing more precious!

Labor & Delivery of Evy

Our fantastic photographer with Bellies and Babies, Kristin, took some more memorable pictures of the birth of Evelyn! There were 300 so we had to be a little picky when choosing some to post. Looking back at all these pictures is surely one of those tear-jerking moments. It was just so perfect! Here are a few of our favorites.

The newborn pics are soon to come!

3 Week Update!

Evy and Mommy went for her 3 week check up and she's passesd her birthweight & now weighs 7lbs 12.5 oz! Mommy & Daddy are so proud. The doctor says she's doing really well and looks great! She's sleeping about 8-10 hours a night with maybe one wakeup diaper change/feeding! We can only hope those nights continue. We have taken a ton of pictures and will have some posted soon. Our photographer with Bellies & Babies is coming back next week for her 1 month pictures. We may be going crazy with the professional pics, but to not have these monumental times is almost a sin!

As for Mommy & Daddy, we are doing well. I went to the doctor and he said everything looks great. My recover is going perfectly. I still thank GOD that I had an easy birthing experience....a short labor, NO swelling, complications, etc. Even moreso, I am SOOOO glad I didn't have a C-Section!!! The only two things I prayed for was a little one over 7.5 lbs and a normal delivery. I'm sooooo happy things played in my favor!!!

As for Durbin, he went back to work after about 3 weeks off. It is so wonderful to hear him call home and talk to Evy. You can tell she recognizes his voice. She gets a smile on her face every time. Daddy sure does miss her...it's adorable! I even send him pics every day of her striking her poses and showing Daddy her poutty face!

Other than that, everything is going great at home! I told Durbin the other day that when Evy arrived in our lives I thought to myself, "How can I possibly go back to work??" With that said, there is a HUGE possibility I will be here with her and the Nanny. Thank GOD for Nanny's! I just feel that daycares can be so germy!!:( Plus, I like Evy to be in her home. It's great now to be able to stay home & watch her hit the first of her milestones. I would never want to miss any of them!!!!

Well, that about covers the past couple weeks for the Durbin's . I'll definitely get some more pics up soon. Organizing these is definitely more time consuming than I planned, but it's a blast!!!
