January 4, 2013 - 7 weeks tomorrow!

It's hard to believe that seven weeks have gone by already. Some days seem to drag by but overall, it feels like time is going by quickly and James is growing so much!

A brief recap of the last seven weeks:

November 16, 2012 - I was induced at 1 pm. Water broken at midnight.
November 17, 2012- James Armagh Cloud was born at 10 am!

 We named James after his grandpa!

November 18, 2012 - We were busy with lots of visitors and felt so blessed to have so many people who love James already! James also had a photo shoot at the hospital and the photos turned out really well. We immediately loved his big eyes! We went home the next day.
