My own Mother was at the hospital more than anyone. I can't believe it but I couldn't find a picture. Everyone else when they came in we would snap a picture. But my Mother was there for hours and hours on end. She came everyday. I was so glad to have her there with me through it all.

He just looks so sweet.

They had a team of NICU doctors ready for when he came out.I had been having some complications. In the end he was perfectly healthy.

   Look at that weight

 Zach just stood there and looked at Ethan, it was so sweet.

 When I got to hold him for the first time.

 I will never forget this moment.

So sweet.

 This was my amazing doctor. Dr. Archibald. He did a wonderful job.

 Ethan Everal Roberts was born on July 17, 2012 at 6:53p.m. He weighed 7lbs 5oz. He was 20 inches long and his head was 13cm around. He has blond hair and blue eyes. He is a spitting image of his Daddy. We are so blessed.

Contractions

This is a picture of me on Saturday evening. I had been having consistant contractions for 2 day. I tried really hard to smile for this picture. I did everything I could think of to go into labor. I bounced  on a trampoline. I did A LOT of walking. I went on the eliptical machine at the gym. Sallie gave me several foot massages to help me go  into labor. Then I finally payed my friend a massage therapist. To come and give me a full inducing labor massage. I started having contractions every 3-5 minutes on Thursday night. I went to the hospital several times. It wasn't until Tuesday evening that I finally delivered. It was some of the longest days of my life. I never thought I was going to finally have the baby. Everytime we went into the hospital they would tell me I was only dilated to a one or two. But on Tuesday evening we finally were blessed to deliver a very healthy Baby boy.

Normally I would help. You can't see but I am 8 1/2 months pregnant in this picture.

 

 Ace has this oily coat. Water just rolls right off of his coat. It's so weird.

 Scrubb-a-dub

 All clean

These two are best buds.

Homemade

 Zach made a changing pad holder. His boss and friend from work helped him hand make it with would. In this picture he is putting a sealant coat on it.

 This is Zach burning his name and the date in the wood.

 It says Zach, June 2012.

 Isn't so nice.

 I am 8 months pregnant in this picture.

This beautiful chest was made for me as a surprise. this is Bou Harrold, Larre' Robertson, and I. They work with Zach in the Honor Guard. I went on a trip with them back in April. I had asked them if someday when I saved up the money they would make me a ceader chest. They said they would love to. We went to Larre's for a BBQ and they showed me this. They made me and Zach's boss one. I almost started crying. It is so beautiful. they lined the inside of it with real ceader wood. It was hand made by both of them. They did it just to be nice. I have always wanted one this size. Now I have one. Big thanks to both of them.
