Our Growing Baby!

At almost 4 weeks Andrew is growing quickly.

He is just about out of newborn clothes and

ready for 0-3 month clothing. Here is one

of the 0-3. So cute!Just needed a close up of my cute son. Well, I'm a real messy eater! My mom calls me "milkshake face." I get my clothes wet so my
mom is trying out a bib on me.
All cuddled up in my bassinet.

My mom wanted a picture of me without clothes.

I think I'm almost ready for stage 1 diapers! Go Cougs! If you look closely there is a baby

Cougar on my shirt, with a football!

Dad and I are REAL busy on Saturday night.

Mom and Dad call this my "Jim Coss

onesie!" They like using these when it's

hot outside, keeps me cooler under my

jammies.

I can't believe that Andrew is almost 1 month

old!!! I feel like I was in the hospital yesterday,

time is FLYING! Slow down!

Week 3, 8lbs 10oz!

My friend Becca had Eleana about 3 1/2 weeks

before I had Drew. So, on Tuesday we had a

mommy and baby play date. As you can see

Drew was very dialed in. Ha! Becca and I love these

pictures cause it looks like Eleana could be

saying "hello friend, are you going to wake up?

I'd like to chat with you and maybe play." It's

great having a friend with a baby so close in

age! It gives me a chance to get out of the house

and eventually it'll give Drew a play buddy.

So sweet! I can't believe he's already 8lbs 10 oz.

He's gaining about a pound a week, which we're

all pleased with. He's quite the eater!

My sweet baby sleeps...

Umm, well, again our cats think all this new

stuff is for them. The good news is they check

it out and move on with their lives. They don't

spend anytime in the toys much beyond

sniffing around.

This one of Harper was taken at about 4am!

I was getting ready to feed Drew and sure enough

out in the kitchen there was Harper. Again,

he's over it now and has moved back to his

favorite spots.

Today Drew and Daddy spent quality time

watching football. It's exactly how I imagined it

to be. I was actually excited that Drew would

arrive when football season started cause I knew

it would give us plenty of holding time with

our newborn.

I love watching him work his binky, I think

it's so darn cute!

Well we were trying to get a picture of our little

angel in this outfit because he's about ready

to out grow it. This is the outfit we brought him

home from the hospital in and we just love

the way he looks in it, thanks Kora! I have

mixed emotions about him outgrowing his

newborn clothes. On one hand I'm thrilled he's

healthy and eating great. But on the other hand

it scares me how quickly he's changing and growing.

Unfortunately he doesn't care much for

having his diaper changed. He's like his

mommy and hates being cold! So we got him

at a very unhappy moment. He recovered

soon after and all was right with the world.

Some pictures from Grandma Moro

Just looking at my Grandpa Moro. When I'm

all swaddled up like this my dad calls me "little

burrito boy." Sound asleep.

My mom and I spend a lot of time catching up
on sleep.

What a sweet pea!

More of our blessing

Andrew is 2 weeks old today! He was weighed

yesterday and is 7lbs 110z, he's gained 1lb since

last week. I got a hand shake from the doc! Enjoy the

next few pictures, I thought they were cute.

Well, this isn't the cutest face ever but I thought

the outfit was adorable so decided to share it. I'm

guessing he's about ready to start crying, he's not

a fan of the diaper change. Does that go away??

Sweet pea.

Last Saturday we took my parents to Red Lodge where

the Yasenaks have a cabin. We decided to visit one of the steak

houses for lunch. After the tour my parents are ready

to move on out. I say do it!

As you can see by these next two pictures Norman

and Harper have adjusted just fine. Don't worry

Norman was quickly removed and does not

spend any time in Drew's bassinet.
But I thought it was cute nonetheless!

Harper stays close by Andrew...it's real cute.

Each time one of us kids was born

my dad brought a dozen flowers plus one yelllow to the hospital.

So, by the time Val arrived she had a dozen red roses

and three yellow ones. Well, as you will see the

tradition continued with their first Grandbaby.

I love this tradition and think it's the sweetest idea

ever! Thank you for sharing this lovely tradition with

my new family!

I had to say goodbye to parents today, it was REAL

hard. They have been a wonderful support to

Mike, Andrew and me and I wish they never had

to leave. Thank you for all you did and do for us.

We love you very much!

Bringing Home Baby

Napping on Grandma Londa.He LOVES his daddy so much and his daddy

takes amazing care of him. He is very helpful

and I couldn't have asked for a better partner

to share this journey with.

I love how he's resting on his arm, SO much love
for this little guy!!!!!

Hi mommy. I'm kind of waking up right now.

Grandma Patti and Drew admiring each other.

Proud Grandparents!!

Where's my mommy I'm ready to eat!

I don't know if any of you have seen the

YouTube segment where the little girl is standing

on the bathroom sink looking in the mirror and she's

declaring all the things she loves. Well I feel that way about

Andrew! I was holding him and thinking in my head; I LOVE YOUR

EARS, I LOVE YOUR MOUTH, I LOVE YOUR HAIR,

I LOVE YOUR CRY, I LOVE YOUR HANDS, I LOVE YOUR

LIPS, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, etc etc etc.

You get it!

9 02 10, get it! Andrew is born on 90210!!

Aunt Kendra pointed out that Andrew was

born on 9-0-2-1-0! Here is our precious boy.

He weighs 6 lbs, 10oz and is 20 inches long.
Everything looks great and he is very sleepy today,

but eating great! Which by the way...ouch!

We're all a little sleepy today.

Our little chicken!

Baby Mine!

What a few days we have had. I had contractions

all day yesterday but the patterns started around 3:45pm.

Mike and I got home from work around 5pm and Mike really

started charting the contractions. By 3:30am I was on all fours

telling Mike it was TIME TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL! Right I was.

When I got there I was 4cm dialated and 90% efface! Contractions were

extreme and my epideral came around 6 1/2 dialation. I had about 2 hours

of relief and unfortunatly the epideral wore off by pushing time. But pushing

wasn't so bad cause I could actually use the contraction instead of cursing it!

The whole process was realitively quick. I started pushing around 8:30am

and he joined the world at 10:02 am today! He's wonderful and we have

been so blessed! True love...

39 Weeks and a father's wish come true

Well, this picture speaks for itself. I had my

39 week appointment today and I am almost

3cm dialated and I'm 70% efface. Doc says

I just need 1 more cm to go and some contractions

to boot and we'll be good to go. However, there

have been NO sign of contractions SOOO, we wait.I'm sure you are all aware of Mike's wish to name our

little boy DrewBledsoe (that being a first name) Yasenak.

Well, one of Drew's Uncles was wanting to make that wish

come true for Mike. You'll see what I mean...Go Cougs!

Thank you Uncle Jamie! Let's hope he's a Coug! Don't worry

his birth certificate will read Andrew Manning Yasenak.

Too cute!
