Little man and I

Little man and I are off today. That makes Wednesday my new favorite day!

Although it would be a dream to be a stay-at-home mamma, I am grateful I am able to have one day during

the week with my little boy. And hopefully, in the not so distant future, that dream 

may come true. Until then I will cherish this one day I get, just Noah and I. We are probably

going to read books, get a bath, clean the house, and relax with a movie. 

I can't believe he will be 3 months old in just a few short days. Time really does fly like we're told. I already find myself missing his tiny little newborn face. But there is so much goodness to come

and I just can not wait. :)

Just like Daddy

I love this picture. I found a pair of newborn shoes that looked just like my husbands work boots. 

I know that Noah is going to grow up to be just like his daddy. 

I feel like my little boy is growing so fast already. As every mother has told me, "they grow up so fast"

Well, yes that is true. When I delivered he was only 7 lb 10 oz. and only 6 short weeks later he 

is almost 13lb. Big boy. But I can already see how much he has changed. Physically and his personality. 

Im getting scared that I am going to miss or forget some of the cute little things that he does at this stage 

but I know that I just have to cherish them while they last. I love my little boy and I can not 

thank God enough for him. Looking so forward to a new year with my new little family.

a late birth announcement....

Im usually a little late with everything.... so this is normal. Almost 6 weeks later and I finally post his birth announcement. I had these printed up as photographs with a little thank you note on the side and saved myself so much money instead of printing them as a card or real birth announcement. I think they turned out pretty well. My sister thinks he looks like he is in a straight jacket but I think he looks adorable. He is all swaddled up in the miracle blanket. Has anyone ever used them? I think they work pretty well and there is nothing cuter than when my little boy is all swaddled up, perfectly content and staring at me with his beautiful little eyes. 

This photo session was funny because he usually cries a little when I first put him in the blanket so I gave him a pacifier to calm him down, and he usually spits it out every 2 minutes. Well this particular time he decided he wanted to hold on to that binkie for dear life and wouldn't drop it! I had him all set up for the picture and had to wait there forever for him to drop it! I didn't want to take it from him either or this picture would have turned out a tad bit different! But baby boy finally let go and mamma snapped away. I think he's just cute as pie, but Im a bit bias. :) 

confused

Im pretty sure this is the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Baby boy gets a little confused when he's hungry. Im sure he was disappointed to find out that

daddy's nose didn't produce any milk. 

Noah Ryan ♥

Our precious baby boy, Noah Ryan. He has stolen our hearts and taken all means of sleep but we wouldn't have it any other way. Completely blessed. :)

Born November 21st

7lb 10 oz 21 inches long

Weekly Catch-up....

We have been so busy around here trying to get everything ready for the baby. The nursery is pretty much done. I just have to hang some pictures. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow! Wow, I can't believe 

our little one will be here so soon. So here is a catch up of my weekly pictures that I never find time to post :)

Minnesota

In September we were able to go visit my baby sister in Minnesota. 

I have missed her so much and I feel so lucky that I was able to go. B and I drove up with my parents for about 5 days and we had such a good time. This was also the first time my sister had seen me since I was actually showing.

Daddy and my little sister 

Sister and Mom. Aren't they just so beautiful?

I can't wait to see her again. She will be able to come home for about a week after the baby is born. I can't wait for baby and Aunt Carrie to meet too :)
