Hard To Believe

It is hard to believe that my little boy is already a month old now. It feels like yesterday that we were in the hospital looking at our little boy for the first time. Walt changes each day! I love being at home with him and watching him eat, sleep and love life each day. Being a mother has to be the most amazing feeling in a world second only to being a wife. God has blessed us more than we could ever imagine. Today Walt and I spent the day at home and then went over to Kyle's office for a little while to spend some time with him. Tomorrow is picture day. Hill Photography will be taking all of Walt's pictures for the first year. Kyle and I are excited about seeing the memories they create for us through pictures. Below are a few pictures from the last few days.

Walter Raymond Hopper

With all the craziness of having a baby - the blog has not been updated. Walter Raymond Hopper arrived on July 26, 2009 at 6:46 a.m. He weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and was 20 inches long. After having contractions for 4 days and waiting for them to get to the 5 minute mark, my water broke at 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning and we headed to the hospital.
Walter dealt with jaundice significantly that left us visiting the pediatrician every day for 6 days getting his foot pricked and bloodwork done. We had a scary first week when his jaundice level peaked at 21.5 but he is on the mend now. He has picked up weight and is more alert than ever.
It is the first week with no company and just mommy and Walt. We are looking forward to mommy and me time! Walt has AMAZING grandparents and aunts and uncles who have been to see him and have helped with him!
