1 Month already...

Easton J is a month old today!!!  It has gone by so fast. . .I still can't believe he has only been in our lives for a month.  It seems like we have had him forever.  It is going by too quickly.  Before I know it, I will be back at work and I will miss our days together (I get very anxious and sad just thinking about it).  I look at pictures and he has changed and learned so much in just the short amount of time he has been here. 

 His very first day in our lives...

First Father's Day...

It was Justin's first Father's day and I really didn't know what to get him (What more could he want...I gave him his first son...haha).  Earlier that week, I took Easton over to Justin's cousin's house, Whitney, so she could take his newborn pictures.  She took our Maternity pictures, which turned out amazing, then she offered to do Easton's newborn pics and I couldn't pass up the offer.  Everything she touches turns out to be amazing.  Anyways...she ended up taking some beautiful pictures of our baby boy and I framed a couple for Justin as his gift.  Here are just a few of our favorites:

 Beautiful Baby

His namesake...hope he likes baseball when he grows up ;)

We Love You!!!

Bundle of Joy...

We welcomed our little Bundle of Joy into this world on May 31st, 2011 at 2:43 pm.  Easton J Whittington is the love of our lives and well worth the wait. 

I say "wait" because it wasn't easy getting our little guy to come out and meet us.  We went to the hospital on May 24th for an induction and were sent home after not making any progress.  I have to say. . .that is the most depressing feeling in the world.  To go to the hospital thinking you are going to come home with your baby, then to leave still PREGNANT!!  We tried again on May 31st.  I was put on pitocin at around 5:30 in the morning.  I was not dilating like I should, so my doctor came in and manually dilated me then broke my water (a VERY painful experience).  I finally dilated to a 4 and got stuck there.  Easton's heart rate was dropping, so we had to do an emergency C-Section.  It went very fast and we were scared to death and so nervous.  Justin was amazing during the whole thing...very encouraging strong through it all, and loving. 

All my nerves and fears went away the moment I heard his little cry...the sweetest sound to my ears.  Everyone tells you how much you will love your child, but you don't know just how much until you have your very own.  We were overwhelmed with joy and love and couldn't stop crying.  I think we cried everyday for 2 weeks because of how much we love our little guy and just how blessed we are to have him here.  God is amazing and I see just how amazing each day I look at Easton.
