2 weeks old & off to the track.....

I am now 11 days old and already got to go to the track to watch my daddy ride. It was a perfect day, not too hot or crowded. It was so nice to get out of the house for a little bit and I really enjoyed the long car ride. Also here is our first family picture. It is a surprise that we were able to get all 5 of us on a chair at the same time. :) Mom could not resist putting me in the laundry basket. Can you see where I am.... She is so silly.

Brayden Christopher Bateman is HERE!!!!

Our little munchkin is finally here!! :) We are so excited that labor and delivery went VERY well, more importantly our Baby Brayden came out as healthy as can be. :) Thank the Lord!!! He was born on Thursday, April 10th at 11:58 am after 24 hours of labor. He was 8 lbs 1 oz and 20.5 inches long - a perfect little baby. :) We are now at home enjoying being a family. It has definitely been an adjustment to mommyhood and a lot more challenging then I thought, but it is sooooooo worth it. We LOVE our little man!

40 Weeks!! Big Belly & Birthday

Ok, we are finally at my official due date week. I am really hoping this munchkin is ready to come out this week. We are so excited to meet him! :) We go to the Doctor tomorrow and are hoping that they tell us that I have dilated more and am ready to go. We went for a long walk today to help speed up the process. We also celebrated daddy's birthday this weekend. His real B-Day is tomorrow the 8th of April (Brayden's due date) but we wanted to get a party in before the munchkin arrives.

39 Weeks & 1cm

We have now hit the 39 week point and I have finally made a little bit of progress. We went to the Dr. on Monday and were happily told that I am 1 cm and 60% effaced. We also spent the afternoon down in beautiful La Jolla and took advantage of all the scenic photo opps. It was like a mini (day) vacation for us... :)
