First week with Nathan

I keep meaning to do a post about Nathan's birth but haven't gotten around to it yet so for now here are a few cute pictures of him.

He is so snugly.
This picture just makes me smile. Isn't he so stinkin' cute!?
So peaceful.

…and he's here!

The first (of many) pictures, and the other details you women want to know, are over at NathanMaxfield.com. Momma and baby are doing great.
8:15 and the water has been broken. The lady is still smiling. That is all.

Start your engines


All hooked up and happy (for now).


The strategy board (for posterity's sake).


The IV that almost wasn't; it took an expert and some jiggery pokery to get that in. They almost sent us home because those veins were a'hidin'.

Induction Morning

Getting ready to head in to the hospital (at an unheard of hour) for Induction Morning.

Stay tuned…

Christmas

Christmas came and went in a flash this year, so I will catch you up with pictures.

On Christmas Eve Amber and Elle made some cookies for Santa.

Elle thought that she had better taste the frosting — you know, just to make sure it tasted good for Santa.
Then Amber thought she ought to give it a try as well.
Just another little taste.
Amber was keeping her focus.
Elle on the other hand had given up on her cookie and was just shoveling in the frosting.
Amber was beginning to taste a little more often.
Cookie? What cookie? Who needs it when there is frosting!? As you can see they enjoyed themselves and the frosting.
Elle on Christmas morning, pretending to lick the sucker ornament as we waited for Papa and Amber to wake up.
Amber with her new baby — one of her favorite presents.
Elle with her favorite present — it hasn't left her side yet.
Amber with all her loot after everything was opened.
Elle with all her loot.

As you can see they were spoiled, and we still are trying to find places for all of it to go. It was fun to watch them get excited about Christmas and to start some family traditions, but I am now done with Christmas and ready for the new year. I hope you all had a good Christmas; thanks to everyone for the yummy goodies and gifts.
