Road Trip to Northern California

A family member passed on the Haymore side. This is the second in one month on the same side. The first one we couldn't make it because we could have had Evan at any moment. I'm glad we went to this one even though I was worried with the ride up and back because of Evan being in his car seat for long periods of time. I was surprised that he slept the entire time between feedings. We are blessed with such a great baby!

We visited Grandpa Thompson why we were there since he hasn't seen Evan yet. Evan was actually named after him. Evan M. Thompson and Evan Matthew Thompson. This is a four generation photo of all first borns.

I had to get in with a shot.

We did the same with Grandma Haymore


This trip made Evan so tired


He normally wakes up to be changed

Blessing

Evan was blessed today. Thank you friends and family for coming. It meant a lot to us. Again, I wish I took more pictures. I blame the no sleep! I did get one of my Grandparents on the Glover side. This is the first that they’ve seen him.

Doc Appointmet

We actually got to see Dr. Later this time. Again, my mother came with me to help. Evan is doing really well. He wieghed in at 8lb 1oz and he's now 20.9 inches long so he is growing.

BYU vs Utah

This is the best game out of the year and I couldn't miss it! My mom watched Evan for us so I could go. We purchased All Sport Passes this year and I really didn't want to hand over my ticket to someone else. I don't want to brag or anything just incase die hard Utah fans read this blog but WE WON!!!....

and I missed Evan the entire time.

Update

Matt had to work this morning so my mom went with me to Evan's appointment so she could help carry him in. I still haven't completely recovered from surgery. To our disappointment, the office was closed. I ended up calling them later on and they didn't tell me that they were in a different room on Fridays. Yeah it would of been nice to know that when we first decided to go to that clinic. We've been really impressed with Dr. Later so I can't see myself going anywhere else. I will just let this one slip. Tune in next week to see how much he weighs.
We had a pleasant afternoon having another wonderful feast with the Felt's. Evan was asleep the whole time. I can't believe how much he sleeps! I'm guessing that wont last long. Before we left, we took Evan out so his Great grandma could hold him. I don't know where Great grandpa was so he wasn't in the picture.

I wish I got more pictures but when you haven't had much sleep; your mind tends to not work right.

Happy Thanksgiving....

everyone!

We have so much to be grateful for! Our number one is having Evan here with us and having each other.
We spent the day with Matt's family since we'll be with my family tomorrow. We had a wonderful feast. I can actually enjoy food without getting so full with just a few bites later with a baby inside. That's another thing I'm grateful for. I'm not sharing my body with another! Sleep has been so nice as well but of course I'm waking up a few times during the night but Evan is well worth it. He wakes up just to eat and than he goes right to sleep.
Evan has his three week checkup tomorrow. Last week he weighed in at 7lb 5oz so he got most of his birth weight back. When we left the Hospital he weighed in at 6lb 15oz. Almost lost a whole pound. Life is so much easier when your milk comes in!

So sweet!

He was awake a little longer this morning so I had to take pictures with his eyes open.



This is the face I get when he's hungry

He's Here!!!...

And I think it only happened because we went to the BYU vs. TCU Football game the night before.


We didn't think he would ever come. Only three days late! I started having contractions around 4:00 in the morning.

Introducing Evan Matthew Thompson!

He was 7lb 13oz and 20" long. He was born at 3:15 pm



Evan is a very healthy baby boy.....

and loved by all!


Proud Grandparent's



Evan's Aunts are so happy that he's here that they will even change his diapers. Just look at his face!

Baby Shower!

I had my 3rd baby shower today. Matt stayed for this one because be was curious with what we do.

I'm glad he stayed because it was fun.Evan is going to look cute in all the clothes he got.

False Alarm!!!

I was having contractions all day Monday. I started monitoring them when they were happening so close together but they weren't hurting. They slowly got closer and closer. At 10:00pm we finally went into Labor and Delivery because they were 2 mins apart, even after lying down for an hour. After 4 hours we were sent home because I wasn't dilating. I was given morphine and a sleep aid so I could sleep. The last thing I remember was getting in the car. Later, Matt tells me I told him "I feel like you" It was nice not feeling pregnant for a little bit. I just didn't know I said it out loud.
