Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween! We wanted to dress Max up as "Dash" from the Incredibles for Halloween this year, but we didn't have time to get the costume, so we'll have to save it for next year. My friend Becky sent Max this Halloween shirt and my mom's friend sent the bib, so luckily Max had something to wear for Halloween this year :)

Here's a few more photos taken during Max's first few weeks. I can't believe he's 3 weeks old already!

This one was taken at about 4am - Max's fussy time :)

He looks like he thinks we're crazy!

Max's favorite spot while my mom was still here - snuggling on her chest...Dad and Max love having snuggles...

Almost as much as Mom and Max do (although he looks like he's about to burst into tears in this one!)...

Max Ethan

He's here!!! I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get some photos up! I knew we'd be sleep deprived, but I never imagined what that really means :) I barely find time to brush my teeth these days. But, we're getting adjusted, so it's time for me to get some photos on here. These are from the day we went home from the hospital. These were the last photos in the hospital...

And these were our first photos at home...

I think he looks like he's smiling in this one - he was so happy to be home in his bassinet for the first time :)

I could do this all day!

Unfortunately, Max didn't technically get to spend that first night at home, as we had to take him to the emergency room at 11:30pm that night. We took him to the hospital closest to our house, and they had to transfer him by ambulance to another hospital with a pediatric unit to be admitted overnight. Talk about a stressful first night "home!" Everything is fine now, and I won't go into the details, but Max has now been a patient in 3 of the 5 hospitals in the Gold Coast, and has his first ambulance ride when he was only 6 days old. He's definitely keeping us on our toes!

Despite the rough start, he has been perfect since (except having his days and nights mixed up)! Colin and I are completely in love with him :)

C'mon Dash!

Well, I'm officially over due! Dash is almost 2 days late and still counting...
But, my mom arrived on Monday, so we have had a few days to hang out (and take long walks and eat spicy food to encourage Dash to come!). Now we're all just waiting :) Hopefully I'll have some news soon!!!

Done!

I just got home from my last day of work - YAY!!! I can't believe it!

My mom arrives on Monday, and I can't wait!!! Well, I actually can wait, and Dash had better wait too :) Less than 3 days to go.

We're all doing well and are very excited for Dash's arrival!
