Home at Last!

I was so happy to be heading home with our little Zachary. Peyton just loves kissing her brother!

Peyton's a Big Sister!

Peyton was so thrilled to come and see us in the hospital. She loved holding her new baby brother!

Our little man arrived right on time, on his due date - September 27th! I went into labor at about 2:00 am, not really sure if I was in labor or not. I was induced with Peyton so I wasn't completely sure. After wavering whether or not to call Greg's mom in the morning I finally decided he should call her to watch Peyton at about 7:00. We went over to the hospital around 9:00, and sure enough I was in labor. But not so much that I went straight to the birthing suites. I wasn't progressing very quickly so we ended up having to walk for about 31/2 hours around the hospital. Luckily it was a nice day so Greg and I were at least able to be outside. Labor and delivery was completely empty that day so thankfully they didn't send me home to progress there. Things finally really started moving around 2pm (I know this because the Bronco game had just started :-)). At 8:50pm Zachary Malcolm arrived, weighing 6 pounds, 5 ounces and 19 inches long. I really thought he was going to be bigger than Peyton but he's just a little peanut!

Peyton's 1st Bronco Game - August 2009

I know, what a sad face!! Okay, so we decided to take Peyton to her first Bronco game, it was preseason so we decided to give it a try. We got her all dressed up in her Bronco cheerleading outfit (which she adores) and she was so excited to go. Well, it just happened to be the loudest preseason game I've ever been to since they were playing the Bears (all you Bears fans should send your thanks) and Jay Cutler was back in town. Peyton isn't a huge fan of noise and we didn't stay long - she's definitely not ready yet. We should have gotten a picture of us before the game started because this is how it all turned out - unfortunately I think we Bronco fans will be making this face many times this year...

August 2009

My first nap in my BIG GIRL bed. For about a week we just read books in it to get used to it but today was the big day - nap time!

Peek-a-boo!

This is my friend Lucas, he came to hang out with me and mommy so his mommy, Heidi, could go to a talk. His mommy and my mommy were once roommates in college. I did surprisingly well with a littler one at home playing with my stuff. I think this encourages mommy a little bit for when my baby brother arrives...
