The story of Nathaniel..

This is my only sister's first child. And what a BRAVE women she is! Her and her husband had been trying to get pregnant for a few years now. And believe me, what a rough road to travel. I couldn't imagine going through the things she did, the test, the minor surgeries..everything! They wanted a baby SO bad... 

I'll never forget, last February, I had just gotten out of a play and got the greatest phone call, SHE WAS PREGNANT! I was so happy and SO ready for alll the pictures I would be taking of them and this little bundle of joy!

And of COURSE she was glowing!!!!!!

:)  

You never really realize how fast 9 months goes by until someone close to you is pregnant! And I am sure it went even faster for her!

24 Weeks:

STILL glowing <3 <3 <3

I was SO excited to find out the sex of the little jelly bean.. I made sure I told them I would NOT be at work that day because I had to be with my sister to find out! I had been waiting for this moment since the 'call' 

:)

My sister knew it was a boy... me and James were guessing girl...

...a BOY!

Happy, Happy, Happy! 

Then came November. His due date was November 28..  I was HOPING he would come a few days earlier on MY birthday, November 23... But he did NOT want to come that early.

So we did one last maternity session.

:)

Big Belly! (she really is gonna kill me..)

On came December and he STILL did NOT want to come out! 

So off to the hospital to be induced!

And the time went sooooo sloooowww, with no progress :(

(She might kill me for posting these.. )

& We waited and texted all the family and friends!

:)

.....and waited

Let me tell you something. Giving birth is NOT easy. I don't have any kids.. but the people that do, know exactly what I am talking about.. Watching my sister go through all of that seriously made me consider NOT ever, EVER having kids either... but she did it. She pulled through after everything from the beginning of trying to get preggo to the hours on hours of labor.. I just hope when I decide to have children I will be at least HALF the mother she has been since day 1, caring for her child and being such a strong women.

:)

Little Nathaniel still didn't want to come out.... So finally on Decemeber 13th she had a C-section and out came the CUTEST baby I have ever ever seen! :)

And these are the first set of so so so so so so so many photos of this little guy...
