Baby Emery is Here!!!

Well, Baby Emery is here. In just 24 hours I can't imagine our lives without him. Truly something you can't understand until you have a child, I must concede; the "love for your child", that is. He is a darn good looking kid. He did have a little bit of a traumatic ride out with forceps (spelling?) and suction used. He took a nice shiner on his head, which they say will take a couple weeks to heal, but not the end of the world.


Last night was not too bad. We sent him to the nursery from 1:00 to 4:00. He nursed well this morning. Christy is in pain from the c-section, but is a real trooper. I am at a bagel shop up the street due to the fact I can't get Internet in the hospital, which I had planned on. Hence the reason for the delay in getting some pictures posted. I don't have a lot of time to get back so I am going to just post a few and more will come later. We should be home by Saturday night, Sunday morning.


The must say that a child is the ultimate manifestation of the power and omnipotence of our Almighty Creator. I speak for myself, and Christy, when I say that we are humbled in a way we have never been to be entrusted by our Heavenly Father to care for this beautiful soul. We love him and thank God for him. I guess I now finally get to learn about "real priorities" in my life.


Thanks to all for the support and love. We love you back. Jason & Christy

Christy's first moment and touch of her Son. If that doesn't choke you up, check your pulse! Beautiful.

May 2008

May 26: Went to the park downtown with the Steele's (below), Kellers (2 down) , Rutters, and the Arhets. Played some Frisbee and football for a few hours. Then Paul and I went to play Frisbee golf and about got killed by lightning. Fun though. It was a great time and a beautiful morning. I am still sore from diving around for the Frisbee.

May 26: Had this bad boy (Cooper Hawk) sitting about 10 feet from our kitchen window for about 1 and 1/2 hours. Really Pretty.

May 24: Had our friends the Welch's up for BBQ. They are moving to Nebraska so Nathan can finish his residency and become a Dr. We will miss them. I am holding their daughter Olivia who is only about 6 weeks old.

May 17: It is a beautiful day at 92 degrees! We went to Arrow Rock Reservoir with the doggies. Here is the latest picture of my belly. Only 11 more days until my due date.

Jason swimming with Carlin- the water temperature is 55 degrees!

The 3 doggies: they are so happy when they are in the water

Happy Mother's Day! We got Emery's letters on the wall. The nursery is complete. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

This was taken on Saturday, spring is here with the arrival of the wildflowers. We have beautiful daisies and purple flowers everywhere.

I am 37 weeks and considered full term! Emery could come at any time now and he would be okay. This picture was taken this evening when we got home from work. It is hard to believe that we will soon be meeting our son. We have had nine months of planning and preparing for his arrival. I will miss feeling his squirms and kicks but can't wait to meet him! The nursery is complete and we will post some more pictures soon....
