Baby Shower
Splish, Splash!
ROUND 1
After a few more baths she is getting better, but i have to make them quick because she does good for about 2 or 3 minutes and then she has had enough with the bath!

Picture Day!
She is 2 weeks and 3 days old in these pictures!
I did this one especially for her dad with the camo blanket! She almost looks like she has a little smile in this one (she probably is just messin her pants)!
This one is my absolute FAVORITE!
She did so good at the photo shoot I was so proud of her, and the people at Kiddie Kandids did a great job too, we will definitly be going back!

Our baby GIRL!
This is the family (i am filled up with 3 bags of IV fluids so excuse the chubby face, i promise it has gone down!) Everything went really well with the birth, I had a dr. appointment on Tuesday the 1st and when i went in my blood pressure was high and my feet, legs and hands were swelling really bad and dr. ellis said that i would probably have her the next day but they wanted to monitor me that night. So I went home and told Erik that we were going to have a baby and the nesting instinct kicked in over time! Then at about 4:30 that afternoon we left for the hospital. It still wasn't sinking in that we were going to have a baby but away we went to powell. They checked us in and i got hooked up on the monitors that i stayed hooked on to for the remander of the birth (not so fun). The nurses we AWESOME and they made my first experience of have a child great. Dr. Ellis did a wonderful job too! I was dialating too fast so i didn't get an epidural, but i got a spinal block and that made everything so much better. I was able to relax becasue i had a LONG night, and i think erik liked the spinal block just as much as i did!! I do have to say the husbands do have it rough as well (well at least my husband did!) But erik was great the whole night, he would rub anything, anywhere, at any time i asked! Even when i told him not to touch me a couple times, he was always there for me! I couldn't have asked for a better MAN!! Then Lauren came at 6:07 in the morning, and when the doctor pulled her out he put her right on my chest and erik and i didn't know what we were having so i asked what it was and dr. ellis and the nurses were like oh we dont' know!! and they checked and it was a GIRL! A girl with lots of hair!!
Erik and I new we liked the name Lauren but we weren't sure on a middle name. So that day we had to brain storm for a middle name for our sweet little girl, and we decided to name her after Eriks Grandma Fran Bassett! The name fits her so well!
I have to say thank you to Kimberly for the pictures! I havn't got my pictures uploaded yet, so i will put more of our little girl on here later!
She has been such a good baby so far, she just eats and sleeps! She is starting to eat every 3 hours instead of 2 so i am getting a little more sleep for the time being. Lauren had already got Erik wrapped around her finger! Erik is so good with her, I always new he would be a good dad!
