August 16, 2013- 38 weeks

On this day nine months ago, I was induced. (Right about this time actually, it's 1:30 pm now, I think we were checking in at the hospital!) We met our sweet little James about 21 hours later, and can't imagine life without him. He is changing SO much every day and has been so much fun as he develops a personality! He is certainly keeping us busy as we work to entertain him and clean him up after his meals, but we don't mind. He is amazing and such a blessing to us.


Here's a glimpse of our life the past month.
