Pumpkin Carving~Branson's 1 week old!

When Branson was a week old, we had the family over to carve pumpkins a couple days before halloween. His Aunt Kathleen, Uncle Dennis, and cousin Gregory were able to come and meet the baby for the first time too. It was a perfect night to be outside and we were glad to have everyone over.

My Sister came to visit

The weekend after Branson was born, my sister Melanie came in town to visit and see the new baby. I was still recovering from everything, so we mostly just hung out around my house with my dad, watched football, and ate. It was so nice to see her and I am so glad she got to meet and fall in love with her new nephew. Hopefully soon he will get to meet his cousins!

Baby Branson is finally here!!

On Sunday, October 21st at 9:26 pm, Baby Branson was born!

Christopher and I arrived at the hospital at about 9:30 am on Sunday morning and were admitted shortly after. We were so excited that I went into labor on my own, since we were scheduled for an induction at 3pm that day. Everything went very well in the hospital and most importantly, Branson arrived perfectly healthy and happy. He was born 8 days past my due date at 21 inches long and 8 pounds 13 ounces (How did he get so big?). We got home from the hospital on Tuesday and have been adjusting to life with a baby for the last couple days. We are getting it down a little better, but Christopher and I are both pretty exhuasted from the long nights. Branson is so adorable and I think we fall in love with him even more every minute! He is our little angel and we are so thankful for such a wonderful blessing. We are taking pictures of everything, so hopefully we will keep this very updated!

Alexis' Baby Shower

Last weekend one of my best freinds, Alexis, celebrated her baby shower- she is due just 3 weeks after me! We have been so fortunate to be pregnant together and share in this special time.

It was exciting to be part of the planning for her special day and Katelyn and I sure had fun making all those cookies and the diaper cake!!

Chris Lundbergs Birthday

On September 8th, Christopher and I went out to a local restaurant with a group of friends to celebrate Chris Lundbergs 25th Birthday! We had a great time celebrating him and are so blessed to have Him and his wife Alexis in our lives!

Tims Birthday

On September 1st, we celebrated Tim's Birthday~Christophers Dad. The family got together for dinner and a movie and just had a relaxing evening together. I think its fair to say that his favorite gift was loving baby Taylor--

Grandpa's precious little baby girl!

Taylor's Wedding

On August 31st, Christopher's Cousin Brooke was Married to Brandon Taylor. The wedding was beautiful and a fun night for the family to share in together.

My Baby Shower

On August 25th, a few of my great friends threw me a beautful baby shower! It was such a fun afternoon and they had everything planned so well. Everyone that came made me a scrapbook page while they were at the shower, so now I have a whole years worth of a cute scrapbook that I just need to insert pictures in and I'm done... how simple is that!?! It was nice to get to see my friends and family and spend some time together before the baby arrives. He is going to be so spoiled because he got all sorts of nice toys, outfits, books, and more. I am defintely prepared with everything I need for little Branson, now its just a matter of him arriving!
