1 week birthday

So Sam has been in the world for a week...it has been an incredible week! what a journey Hank and I just took! (Of course mine was a bit harsher). Please indulge me as I post more pictures, just for the fun of it. I feel like he is already changing. I am sure no one else could tell, I just have a habit of staring at him for long periods of times. By the way, thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your comments! It makes everything so much more fun when there are people out there supporting you.



This is Hank's and my entertainment every evening. We call him bright eyes.



Sam's favorite position is to be rolled up like a burrito.



More bright eyes...



Dad sleeping with Sam in the Sleeping Wrap. Whenever we go out people ask if he can breathe. Just so you all know, he can. There is an opening at the top and the fabric is breathable. This is basically the best buy I have ever made.



He's still so cute when he isn't a burrito or attached to one of our chests...don't you think?



I even think he is cute when he cries.



This picture has a bit of a story: When I was pregnant and would get into emotional fits, I would often cry to Hank saying that I knew without a doubt in my mind that I was going to be a terrible mother. To cheer me up Hank would tell me that he agreed and that Sam would always be suspicious of me. Then Hank would do all these suspicious faces to show me what it was going to be like. Most times it made me laugh and everything was fine, sometimes though Hank got a punch in the arm. Anyway, so this is the closest we've come so far to having Sam be suspicious of me.



Mom sleeping with little Sam. My favorite...ahhhhh :)



I have a lot of bright eye pictures, but as you can tell, he's an angel when he sleeps.



I can't help myself...more bright eyes...




Dad loves his Sam



And Sam loves his Dad

I know I haven't been the most regular blogger, but now I am afraid that I am just not going to be able to help myself. So prepare for this blog to dramatically change from Leah and Hank's blog to Sam's Blog with a few other people and places once in a while...I sorta like it that way.

Ahh, what a cutie he is! He's just a round cute pudgy little thing! I love his cheekies!

What a great birth story! You did absolutely fabulous!

ps-Ezra was delivered at the hospital in Payson by Dr. Nance too! Actually, I take that back, Dr. Nance was out of town for the night, so it was some other guy who did the c/s, but he was my doc for the rest of my pregnancy and post-delievery. He's a really nice guy.

Oh my gosh!!! He is adorable! I am so happy for you! I have to come visit before you move! I am so sad you are leaving by the way. You have been such a sweet friend! It meant so much to me when you visited and brought muffins! Congrats!
