A Sneak Peek...

Here is a preview of Evan's newborn session from STUDIO You:

The pictures turned out WONDERFUL!  We placed our order this passed Thursday and we can't wait to get everything back!  :)

Amanda and Jake came up Friday afternoon for a visit.  We had a great time!  Amanda brought a ton of goodies for Miss Evan and we played dress-up on Saturday morning.  We had fun taking pictures, but Evan wasn't too thrilled by the end.  Here are a couple of pictures:

And here are some other pictures from this past week:

Evan is still doing great!  She has been sleeping good....up to 6 hours at night!  She had her first little diaper rash this week.  And I can't remember if I posted that she got her belly button (cord fell off)....I think it was on Monday.

We're hoping to bring her to church for the first time next weekend.  Today we went to visit Preston & Lorie at the hospital because they just had their baby boy, Brantley!  He's so cute, and I know they're thrilled to finally have him here!  Alrighty--that's all for this post!  Thanks for keeping tabs!  :)

All about Evan...

What can I say??
Evan has been amazing every moment she has been with us.  As of today, she eats about every 4 hours and mostly sleeps in between....this gives Mama and Daddy lots of time to sleep and catch up on things they need to get done.  She only gets fussy when she's got a little bit of gas, but it's not bad at all!  Evan had her 1 week follow up with the pediatrician on October 20th.  She weighed 7 lbs 8 oz. and seems to be perfectly healthy.
We took her newborn pictures on Thursday, October 20th at STUDIO You and we get to view them this coming Thursday.  I can't wait to see how they turned out!  The girls did an amazing job (as always) and Evan was content as can be during the whole shoot.

I promised more pictures, so here we go:

Taking a break from pictures....I know it's not obvious when someone posts a comment on our blog, so I had to post this one from Amanda.  Jeff and I read it after we had been home for a day with Evan, and of course, we both cried!  Thanks Amanda for such a sweet and awesome post to our blog (we love you!).  We will treasure it and all of those moments forever!  Check it out:

Little Miss Evangeline,

Just wanted to let you know how hard your mommy is working at this very minute. At 10:04pm Monday night your daddy called and shouted, "Laura is 6cm dilated 100% effaced and laid up in the bed. The contractions are coming close together and very hard." You can hear the excitement in his voice! In just a few hours your daddy will announce your birth to the world. Your grandparents, great grandparents, aunt, uncle, and mommies 2 best friends are on the way to Durham Regional where you'll be born. After 9 long months we will finally be able to meet you. We can't wait to see your sweet little face and hold you. Evan you are one very loved little girl and have such a wonderful family. These very moments will be replayed over and over throughout the years. I feel so blessed to be part of such an amazing celebration. There are so many people praying right now for your birth. We wish you and mommy a safe and healthy delivery. We love you TONS! GOD is GREAT!
