Visiting Peyton....

 

Peyton has had lots of family and friends over to visit with her. She seems to love all the attention.

Our baby girl is born!

From Movies

Here is a video of pictures that were taken at the hospital. These are a small portion of all the photo's that we have taken since she was born so there will surely be many more posts to come in the near future. She was born at 8:05pm on Sunday, May 17th. She weighed 7 pounds and measured 18 and 3/4 inches. As many of you may know we took a poll of different family and friends while we were at the hospital in regards to her length and weight. JoAnn guessed the weight exactly and was the closest to the correct length with a few other people. I guess its true that mother knows best, although I would have to say she did have an unfair advantage. Anyway mother and daughter are home now and recovering quite nicely. Peyton is already back to birth weight and gaining more and more every day. It's been a pretty crazy week but one I wouldn't change for the world. Our lives are officially changed forever and what a surreal experience it is.

April Showers....

Wow, was I spoiled this month. I had three baby showers. The first one was in Salt Lake given by my mother in law Debbie, her sister Michelle, and mother Margo. I had one at school given by my friends Charese and Lori, and the last one was at my mother's house given by my mom and Debbie. Little Peyton is set for a very long time. All I can say is that we have great family and friends. A big thanks to everyone! Now we are just waiting for Peyton to come.

Tiny Baby Bump

This is me at the end of January. It's funny how I thought I was so big there. I am much bigger now. Kris and I have worked very hard to get Peyton's room put together. We are almost done, so I will have to post some pictures soon. Little Peyton is already getting spoiled. I'm sure she is loving it!

It's a Girl

Here are some pictures and a video of our little girl. In the video you will notice that she seems to have found her thumb, is flexible, and towards the end grabs her foot which is adorable! We are really happy and excited for our little miracle to arrive.

A Great Day!!!

Saturday was a great day for us. JoAnn found out that she has a new doctor which is such a relief (you will see why when you see his picture posted below). We also found out that we are having a baby girl. The place we went for the ultrasound was awesome and we are so happy that we found it. JoAnn defenitely thinks it was the best 40 dollars she had spent in her entire life.

My previous doctor was like Dr. House except we don't think he was as smart! Just as mean!

Meet me in St. Louis

These pictures were taken at Forest Park in the summer of 07, when we were living in St. Louis. This park is where the World's Fair was held in 1904. The building pictured is one of two buildings still existing from the World's Fair. I really loved going here because one of my favorite movies is Meet me in St. Louis starring Judy Garland. I used to stay up all night with my grandpa Peterson and watch it. Most of the movie is about how excited everyone is about the world fair being held in their town of St. Louis.

Here is a clip from the movie. ENJOY!
