Evy's 1 Month Pics!

I'm about as far behind as I could possibly be with posting pictures, but I am finally caught up on things. Here are some of our favorites....there's a lot, I know! We just couldn't decide:) We are continuing to cherish every second with our new bundle of joy! She is hitting certain milestones and just when we least expect it, she makes us laugh! She is definitely entertaining!

Again, we thank Kelly with belliesandbabies.com for coming to take more pictures. It's been great getting to know her & becoming friends. We have so much in common.....especially the love for our kids:) She does such an amazing job &

we look forward to our next months session with her!

Evy's 3 Week Pics!

I can't believe our little ANGEL is 3 weeks already. The time is flying by so quickly. Here are a few of our favorite pictures.

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!

she's already so spoiled! There's something about GIRLS!

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!!!

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!

Mommy's precious angel!

Wrapped around Daddy's finger!

Daddy's little GIRL already!

Picture Perfect:)

Posing already:)

Mommy & Daddy love you sooo much!

Evy's going home outfit......precious! Girls are wonderful!

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.
