We are so excited to welcome home James! He was born July 13 2009 and was 7Ibs 8oz and 20.5 inches long. We decided to induce a little early so that my mom was sure to be there, which she was, even though we neglected to get a picture with her in it. I was not the one on camera duty that day. My sister Lauren was there for the birth also and it was a whole new experience for her. Surprisingly she is not turned off from having children of her own someday. So here are some pics from that blessed day, that Heavenly Father gave us our sweet baby James.
The before picture. My mom made this fabulous baby quilt and finished that day.
Dana and Marshal came by to take a look. She is prego with twins, we are hoping one is a boy for James to play with.
Yes, Mia was brought to the hospital with no shoes on. This is what happens when mom is not there. We are all grateful to be home.
James taking his bath like a Man.
Grandma Patt came by to give me a hand. Thanks Grandma!
Nice and clean!
We decided to name James John after his two grandpas, because we love and respect them both so much! This is James with my dad.
James fits just perfect in Alivias baby doll crib, so for now, this is were he sleeps. He might be able to fit for another couple days.
