Becoming Parents

Three years ago today Ryan and I brought Turner home from the hospital! It was the scariest thing ever. Ryan drove sooo slow and I cried the whole way home. I swear the first ride home takes FOREVER and I saw Turner's whole future in front of my face. I sat in the back with him and talked to him through the tears. Ryan was gripping the wheel so tight I thought we were going to have to pry his fingers from the wheel. When we got home we started the challenge of being parents all alone. Thankfully family brought us food for the first week, but we really did get it together pretty quickly!

I will never forget one funny time though. We had just brought him home and he was sleeping. So we did the logical thing and laid him in the crib. Ryan went to lay down for a couple minutes and I was using the bathroom. The monitor was up all the way (new parents... ) right next to Ryan's head. Turner started crying and I could hear him from his room and echoing in the monitor and it NEVER woke Ryan up! It was sooo loud! So as quickly as I could (being that it takes 20 minutes in the bathroom) I got the baby and went in to tell Ryan things were going to change quickly! I was even calling for Ryan to get the baby. Needless to say he is very good about getting the screaming children now and learned quickly that being a parent means your deep sleeping days are interrupted! Here are some cute photos of the first few weeks with Turner!!

First time holding him!

Sooo cute!

Three Years

Wow!! My baby is 3 years old today! I found out through a friend that you can turn your blogs into a book so I have come up with something I think is going to be really neat. I am going to show everyone a little bit at a time the last three years that Ryan and I have been parents! I am working on going through photos now and then a few at a time I will up load them and everyone can help reminisce with me! Watch out for it all to begin in the next few days!!

Before I do that though I wanted to show everyone a few photos of us celebrating his big day so far! Today we celebrated with presents first, then getting ready and bowling, then to Grammy and Pop's to play in the hose and cake and more presents! Here are a couple cute shots of them today! His party with his friends is next week!
