Christmas Time

Christmas was a little strange this year because of the whole snow storm thing. We still were able to do a couple of our normal Christmas gatherings, but some were cancelled due to weather. We were pretty bummed out because we had something pretty special to show off this year!

Snow

It snowed a TON here in December! I was pretty much stuck at home for over a week. Nick's car was stuck at his grandparents house in Tacoma for a week. It was pretty crazy how much snow we kept getting and how it just wouldn't melt! I think we are all really done with the whole snow thing!!!

First Bath

Waaaaaaaa.....I hate this!!!!

Please, put some clothes on me!!!

Thank you, much better!!

Another Photo Shoot

As a baby gift to Nick and I, my sister got us a photo shoot with her photographer friend Erin. She came to our house when Connor was only 10 days old to take a bunch of really cool pics. Here are a few of our favorites!

Tyra Photo Shoot

My best friend Tyra flew up to Washington to help us out with Connor! She took a risk and booked a ticket not knowing exactly when he would arrive. Well, it's like he knew she was coming and decided to arrive in the world just a few hours before she arrived in WA! Good timing. It was so great to have her around to answer all the silly first time mom questions. I wish she lived closer!!! While she was here, she took some cute pics of our little guy. These are a few of my favorites.

Jaundice

The day we were released from the hospital, Connor had a mild case of Jaundice. The doctor had us come back to the hospital the day after we left to have him tested again to make sure it had gone down. We got a call later that day saying that his biliruben levels were pretty high and he would have to be put in a bili-bed until they went down. They had a pretty cool in home service where neonatal nurses come to your house and set up the bili-bed and do all the blood work. So poor baby was stuck in this crazy light bed for three days. We could only take him out to feed him and take his temperature! It was hard not to hold him all the time! But after three days, his levels were back to normal and he was feeling much better. No more yellow baby!

Going Home!

Two days after he was born, we were finally released from the hospital! We were all ready to come home and sleep (or not sleep) in our own beds! Here's Connor in his gigantic clothes that didn't fit him getting ready to head home for the first time.
