A year ago...

Last night I was thinking about how a year ago I was very pregnant at this time. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't walk very far without being winded, and I was really enjoying that nighttime heartburn. I was also pretty nervous about going into labor, and how the whole delivery process would work out. Would I know I was in labor?...or would I have our baby in the car on the way to the hospital?...since we live an hour away. Even though we had went to some classes, and they showed all of the videos, for me, it's just not the same until I have experienced it for myself.

Everything went just fine...we went to the hospital twice that day before they would keep me. The first time I think we knew it wasn't quite time, but it got James out of talking in Sacrament Meeting...he figured if his wife was having a baby it was a pretty good excuse, and I just couldn't quite bring myself to sitting through Sacrament Meeting thinking that I was probably having contractions, and the fear of my water breaking. That evening we went back to the hospital about 8:00 and we had Devon I think at 1:47. The nurses said that by an hour and a half Devon became a Taurus, and he does seem to have a little of that bull headedness in him. Everything went pretty quick, I just wish I would have had an epidural quicker.

I just can't hardly believe it has been almost a year since we brought this little guy home, and every day he amazes me even more. Since I didn't have a blog when he was born, I wanted to share some of Devon's first pictures.

Devon was 3 months old here.

I think he was 6 weeks old here, just starting to get that personality, and those funny faces!

Devon also love playing peek-a-boo with just about anything!

It has been a while since I have posted anything, so I wanted to give a quick update. James and I went to Colorado for a job interview, but we decided that it would be better for us to stay here. It would have been about 3 1/2 hours away from both of our families, so not too far, but we really didn't want to leave. James started working for a mine called Sufco this week. He will be rotating graveyard and afternoon shifts, so it may take a while getting used to, but he only works 4 days a week. Hopefully we will get to do some fun things this Summer with the longer weekends.

Devon turns one next week! I can't believe how the time flies! He has started walking, and it is so cute! He toddles around with his hands out in front of him for balance. I'm trying to get a video of it on here, but I keep getting an error message. So here's a few pictures of him standing...Oh yeah, and he loves a truck. He definitely knows he's a boy.
