Treyson's First Days

Well as most of you know we welcomed our little Treyson into the world on December 2. I know it's almost a month later and I'm barely updating our blog, but it has been a super busy month! After 24+ hours of labor Treyson came in weighing 6 lbs 13 oz and was 20 in long. It was a very LONG 24 hours, but totally worth it.

The whole room was full of smiles once Treyson was here and Philip was one proud daddy! 

My mom likes to tell the story about how she was holding Treyson and Philip walked by and said something and Treyson started looking everywhere for Philip. He instantly recognized his voice and knew exactly who he was. 

Our very first family picture. Such a special moment that Philip and I will never forget. It's amazing how instant your love is for someone you barely met. We both sit here and wonder what we did before Treyson because we can't imagine our life without him now. He's amazing.

Our cute little Treyson! Man we are so in love already!!

 There is no way that I thought I could love Philip more than I already did, but after seeing how great of a dad he is just makes me love him that much more. Treyson really has the best dad ever. Philip has been amazing with him.

 Unfortunately because I was in labor so long I spiked a fever and Treyson had a fever when he was born because of it. This made him have to go into the TLC Nursery and the next morning Treyson's pediatrician sent him to the NICU because of some other health problems.

 Although it was hard for us to see Treyson in the NICU, we knew this was what was best for him and we visited him as often as we could. It was so sad to see how many machines he was hooked up to and very hard to hold your baby when he's wrapped up in so many cords, but Treyson is a fighter and only had to spend a couple of days in there. He's our little champ! 

Like I said in the last post Treyson had some CRAZY bruises. I felt so bad for him. You can see how bad they are in some of these pics. 

Poor Guy!

Treyson's first bath in the NICU

 Our cute little guy was such a trooper through all the pokes, IVS, and everything else he went through.

 So glad our time in the NICU wasn't that long and he only had to spend a couple days in there. It was pretty hard checking out of the hospital and not being able to take him home with us. Just glad we only had one short night without him there, like I said we couldn't imagine life without him anymore. Treyson is such a blessing to us!

Update: Treyson Isaac Gray

This will be short and sweet. We welcomed our little boy into this world last night and we are already so in love!!

6 lb 13 oz and 20 in

He has some crazy bruises, but is a total cutie. Very thankful to have our little boy here!!

Treyson's Nursery

We finally were able to get Treyson's room pretty much done. We still have a couple things to add, but I wanted to get some of the pictures on here before he decides to come. 

His nursery was a complete project. Our house is painted HORRIBLY! We had to do lots of sanding to get rid of bad texture and pretty much start over. Once the sanding was done it was a lot easier to do, but sanding took FOREVER!!

We wanted to paint it so that if we decide to move you wouldn't walk in and be blown away with nursery colors. I feel like this room could easily serve as a regular bedroom for someone else if we decided to sell our house. 

All of our puppies and Trouble have been super curious about this bedroom. Especially Kimber. She just couldn't pass up a photo opportunity. We definitely have more to add to this wall eventually.

It's crazy to think that here within the next week or so I'll be able to hold Treyson in here. I can't wait for him to be here. I see lots of nights rockin' my little boy in that chair. 

 A few weeks ago we had a baby shower at our church and they had some of the cutest decorations including these signs welcoming Treyson and the cute flower vase. We have definitely been spoiled by everyone and appreciate all the help.

 My sister Sam and her boyfriend Chris helped us put up the chair rail on the walls and I think it was the perfect touch!

 I made Treyson's name with a sport's theme. It's hard to tell in the picture, but we have some football, soccer, baseball, basketball, and of course we had to throw in our love for our utes! 

Look at the proud daddy!

 We're going to take the onesie with Treyson's name to the hospital so all of his guests can sign it and he'll always have it to remember!

 These are part of the decorations that were made for our shower at church. Are they not adorable?

Now all we need is a little boy to arrive and fill this nursery. (o: 

35 weeks!

 

I can't believe that we've finally made it to 35 weeks! That means in 5 weeks or less we get to meet our little Treyson (maybe 6, but hopefully not). We haven't been able to get very many good face pictures since our 20 week appointment, but luckily he was very active at our last visit according to our doctor and we were able to get this snapshot! Philip thinks he has my nose. I'm still not convinced. Regardless he is already so stinkin' cute how can you not love him? 

That big blob to the right of the picture is his foot. He has GIANT feet. This I definitely know he gets from my side of the family due to all my nieces and nephews with their giant feet. We bought him a cute pair of Utah booties that we're hoping fit him for his trip home from the hospital.

He is already weighing in at about 6 lbs. It's crazy to think he's that big already. As always the doctor told us he is developing great. Great heart, very active, very flexible, practicing his breathing, and very healthy! 

His nursery is almost done and hopefully I'll have some pictures up soon. So far it looks great! Philip and I are definitely trying to finish up our "To Do" list so that we are more than ready for when he decides to make his entrance. 

Philip is convinced we will be welcoming him around Thanksgiving.. I'm convinced that if he's anything like his dad I will be waiting a week past my due date before he decides to come. Either way in 6 weeks or less we will have our Treyson Isaac here and we absolutely can't wait!

Showered With Love

 A couple weeks ago my family had a baby shower for me! It was a blast and we were very spoiled! We loved all the cute outfits and gifts! Thanks to all of our family and friends that came and spoiled us! It really means a lot. Look how cute this present is wrapped! I love the wrapping paper and cute dump truck on top!

Opening presents. Treyson was very spoiled with lots of cute clothes, Utah gear, RSL gear, and many other toys and odds and ends.

 Look how cute this diaper cake is? Love it!

Thanks again everyone!

Random Pics

Okay so I don't really have a spot to post these pics so it will just be one blog of random pics.

 

My cute pups!

Happy Halloween! Love Cujo Kimber

(Don't mind my crazy swollen feet)

 

On one of my sleepless nights when I finally decided to go back to bed I walked in to these two passed out. Of course Bentley woke up and was rather annoyed that I disturbed his sleep, but I was still able to snap this cute pic!

Go Utes! It feels like football season just started, but we only have one more home game left. It was a great win today!
