After 37 weeks of being pregnant, 41 hours of Labor (don’t worry it wasn’t all intense) 2 trips to the hospital, and roughly 6 hours of sleep in 2 days, we are proud to introduce…………

Alexander Jayce Hamsher
7lb 8.4 oz
May 21st 9:16 am
Its ok, you can “aww” we think he is pretty cute too!

This is how mommy spent most of her time in the hospital…. yeah it was pretty rough.

Look at them relaxing together already.

He is so tiny in Jason’s arms


His coming home outfit.

He swims in his car seat.
We have had a long week starting a week ago today, but it has been totally worth it! Alex has had an exciting little life so far, he has even been in his Aunts wedding already! But we are settling in, finding a routine and loving every minute of it!
Mommy is becoming a milk producing machine, between pumping and nursing that’s about all I do. Daddy has been AMAZING! He can make the best cuddly baby burrito, does the laundry, takes care of mommy, and has changed his very first poopy diaper. Alexander sleeps alot!!! partly because he was a little early, partly because he has some jaundice, and partly because he is 5 days old. And Jasper has been a dream. Usually completely ignoring Alexander, if he gets a little close all we have to say is “back up” and he does.
Sorry it took so long to update about him, we are just now getting enough rest to find time to do other stuff.

JUST KIDDING!!!!!

But I did have two wonderful showers last weekend… Baby showers that is!!!! On Saturday I had a shower with Jason’s side of the family. It was a yummy yummy brunch! decorated with adorable outfits, and little froggies.  It was really cute.

Muffins, Fruit, Parfaits, Egg casserole, Granola and Juice/punch.

Just look at this delicious spread!!!!! It makes my mouth water just thinking about it….

The baby doesn't look so comfortable... but the clothes pins on the shirt is very creative!

Ahhh I have a feeling I will be stealing this idea from Kelly and use a front pack or sling for when I hang out the laundry.

One of the games we played was holding a baby (doll – thank goodness) talking on a phone and hanging up laundry and seeing who could do it the fastest. It was a little worrysome that occasionally the baby went flying, or the phone, but it sure was fun!!!! Great Aunt B was the winner with a time of 23 seconds (I think) (For more on the shower you can check it out here)

Look at all these gifts! I am glad Ang was recording everything for me!

Then on Sunday, I had a joint family shower with my cousin. She is due just 6 days after me!!! I of course didn’t get any pictures of it, because I forgot my camera 🙁 Thankfully my Aunt will be getting me doubles.

We had chicken salad and fresh fruit. Chips, pretzels, YUMMY chocolate/raspberry cake and ice cream. We visited and talked pregnancy and babies. It is fun because of the 7 of us that are married, 5 are either pregnant or have had babies within the last 8 months.

Between both showers I think we have just about everything we need for right when the baby is born! Now I just have to wash the linens and clothes and organize it all.

As you can see my *almost* finished nursery needs a little more orgnaizing now.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful weekend, and helping us get what we need for when “Sully” comes!!!
