Since I'm going to be doing some race reports in the near future and a product review of the Hemp Hearts, today I'm just going to do a little baby sharing with you. I'm sure ya'll don't mind looking at adorable baby pictures, right???
Just for a little perspective, here's my daughter just a few weeks before delivering. She was all baby with that little basketball hanging out under her shirt.
There was a lot of waiting...
The new family settled in nicely and had a great couple of first days outside of being exhausted and my poor daughter coping with being sore and feeling like her body was totally foreign to her. It's always so weird to go from being pregnant, to being not pregnant in an instant. As your belly grows over a pregnancy you have months to get used to its changing size and shape, but then you give birth and it is just WHOOSH...totally changed just like that.
I think it's fair to say that the entire family is over the moon over the new addition! When Angelique first got to hold him she sat there singing quietly to him. I asked her if I could get a turn and she just looked at me and said "no" while shaking her head. And she was serious! HA! And Joshua loves his little "race car" - the nickname he gave Gavin while he was still in the belly.
We did have a little scare when Gavin had to be re-admitted into the hospital because he had some pretty bad jaundice. But just a little more than a day under the bili lights and he bounced right back!
And he even got to go out for his first visit to the Pumpkin Patch! I'm super excited to see this little guy grow through the years. It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful life can be and how a little bitty package can add so much awesomeness to it!!
Congrats on your new addition...and your running! He's adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gisgie!! :-)
DeleteWhat a precious little thing! So glad he's okay and doing the baby thing...pooin' and cooin'! Is he a fraction Hawaiian or honorary? With Keoki as a middle name there's definitely an island connection!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely recognized that one!! Gavin's great-grandparents are Japanese/Hawaiian, his grandpa is 1/2 and his dad is 1/4...making him 1/8. :-) Curtis (the daddy) also has Keoki as his middle name given to him by his Grandmother in the Hawaiian tradition. Curtis did live in Hawaii for a period of time as a child, but most of his family is here on the mainland now. My grand babies are all very American in that they are absolute blends of just about every heritage imaginable. LOL
DeleteCongrats, kids are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteYes they are!! Running after the grandbabies definitely helps keep me young! LOL
