NEWBORN PICTURES

The photographer came last week and took Gavin's newborn photos and he was not the happiest about it. He was really upset because he was naked and cold and we couldn't get him to relax for very long, but they turned out super cute! I was trying to just pick a couple that I really like to put on the blog, but they are all so cute, I had to put a lot.

Palm Springs

This weekend we went on our first family trip and stayed Saturday night in Palm Springs. My mom's side of the family had a BBQ for my cousin that is leaving to go back home to Florida. We had a great time visiting with my aunts and cousins that we haven't seen in while and Gavin got to meet a lot of new people.

Gavin wore his swim trunks and sun hat and went out by the pool. His swim trunks were way too big and he looked like an old man because they went all the way up his chest, but he still looked so adorable. Nate dipped his feet in the pool and he didn't even wake up




Taylor modeled her cool sunglasses and looked adorable
This is the first time the three babies in the family have all been together. There is Gavin (3 weeks), Taylor (4 1/2 months), and Emma (11 months).


Gavin had a lot of stretching to do after the long ride home in his hot carseat.

GAVIN'S FIRST BATH

We have been patiently waiting for Gavin's umbilical cord to fall off and his circumcision to heal so we could give him a real bath and it finally happened! We got to give him his first real bath in his baby bathtub last night and I think he liked it . . . until we got him out and he got really cold.

Nate did the washing so I could take pictures and videotape him. He did a good job!

Once Gavin was in the warm bath, he was very relaxed and almost went to sleep


Gavin was cold and not happy when we took him out of the warm water. I think he was freezing


He is all cozy after his bath




These are a couple of other pictures I took this week. This is one of the first outfits I bought for Gavin when I found out I was having a boy and I have been waiting to put it on him. I love his little butt!


Me and my sweet baby!

More Pictures Of Gavin

This past week has flown by for us, I can't believe that Gavin is already 9 days old. He has been such a good baby and he is letting us get decent sleep at night, which has been really nice! He is starting to stay awake a little more and he is getting cuter everyday. Here are some new pictures of him.

Zoee is looking at her new baby brother. She has really kept her distance this week, but she is starting to come around.

Nate and Gavin on Nate's Birthday!

He is sucking on his two fingers. We have only seen him do this a couple of times, but he looks for them a lot.

Gavin is Awake

We finally got some good pictures of Gavin with his eyes open and he looks so cute! He usually only opens his left eye, but we got lucky a couple of times.

GAVIN CHRISTOPHER LORGE HAS ARRIVED!

Baby Gavin is finally here and he is absolutely perfect! I will give you the short version of the story so you can get to seeing the pictures of him. We went to our regular doctors appointment on Monday morning never imagining that we wouldn't be home again until after the baby was born. He said I was dilated to a little more than four and he thought I would probably be going into labor that day or the next. When he took my blood pressure, it was a little higher than normal so he sent me over to the hospital to have a stress test and a blood test to make sure everything was okay. About 5 hours later, the nurse came in and said they would be inducing me because it wasn't going down and then we just went from there. My water broke at around 6 (I think) and he was born at 10:08pm. He weighed 6 pounds, 10 ounces and is 19 1/2 inches long. The whole process moved so fast and it wasn't nearly as bad as I had prepared myself for. He was worth all the pain!!
