1 Month

I can't believe our little boy is one month old. He turned one month on Saturday and we went and got his pictures taken. I am finally getting a little used to being a mom, and I think I kind of got him figured out. I did not realize how much I would love it! I am tired, but I really don't mind getting up to feed him during the night, I just love him so so much. Here is a cute one month picture, he is starting to smile alot!!

Aunt Stacey always puts him to sleep.

Here is a close up of him smiling!!

Our Little Boy

Wow what a blessing it is to have James in our lives. It has been an adjustment, but worth it. Here are some funny things that he does. He farts so much, and they stink, I think he gets that from me. He grunts so loud when he is shooting a duke. He peed on me so many times I can't even count, and once right in the mouth. Whenever Bert holds him he always reaches for his face, and they watch baseball games together, it gets me off the hook. One last thing, he so noisy when he sleeps it took us a while to get used to that. Here are some random pictures of our little man.

This is his done face after eating.

This is how we find him when he wakes up, he is our muscle man.

Mark James Bowen

Our baby finally arrived on June 11, 1009 at 8:13 am. He weighed 6 lbs 11 oz. and was 19.5 inches long. Delivery was not bad at all, the movies make it look so much worse than it really is. He is such a good baby and rarely cries. He actually slept through the night last night. It is weird to be a parent, but very much worth it. It is scary to try and get adjusted. I don't understand how they survive parents that have no idea what they are doing. But at least he does not know any better either. Here are a few pictures of our baby. Hopefully I will be better at posting pictures now that I have him.

Here is our beautiful little boy!!

Hooray-We had our baby

Cat For Sale

Wow, it really has been a long time since I have posted. The baby is doing so great and I am 5 weeks away from my due date. I have had some great showers, and gotten tons of stuff. So thank you to all that gave me such wonderful gifts.

When Bert and I first got married I really wanted a cat. Bert does not like animals so much, so we decided that we would get a cat and when we had a baby we would give him away. Well sadly that time has come. He is such a good cat. He is neutered, front de-clawed, indoor, and up to date on all his shots. This is hard for me to do, but I think it will be better with a new baby in the house to not have a cat. If you know of anyone please let me know. I want to give him to a nice family. Here are some pictures of him.

6 months

I have hit my sixth month. I am feeling really good but this little boy is a kicker. The other night I woke up at 2:00 am and started to count how many times he kicked me. I counted 60 times in 20 minutes. I hope he is not that active when he comes out. Bert and I got his room ready today. It is getting to feel more real and I am way excited. Megan (my sister) could even feel him kicking me today. Happy Valentines Day.

5 Months

I am 5 months now. I just had my ultra-sound and everything was great. I was so worried. I had drank so much water that my bladder was squishing him and he was laying flat so she could not see anything. So I went to the bathroom and baby and I were much happier. He for sure is a boy, I am glad because we have already gotten a ton of stuff. I am feeling so much better. I am enjoying food a little too much. I can't see my toes anymore (I like an excuse to have a gut). I also have a picture of me in my Twilight shirt, Bert gave it to me for Christmas.
