7 weeks old

My little boy is almost 8 weeks old, I cannot believe how fast time is flying by! I love him so much more with each passing day, and when he smiles my heart melts:)

in my new pjs watching tv with daddy. Daddy thinks they are a little girly, but mommy thinks they are cute...you look so grown up in them!

First attempt at sleeping in your crib...the picture is very misleading, let's just say it's not your favorite place to sleep:)

Just a few pictures...

Trying to do some tummy time, but he wanted to take a nap instead:)

Getting so big and so cute!

5 weeks

This past Sunday we went to Church's to get Bradley's first Christmas tree! It was a little cold so we put him in a snowsuit and then I held him in the baby bjorn with a blanket overtop. He stayed warm but my hands sure didn't...I should remember to bring gloves next year:)

Our little boy is 1 month old already! Time really does go by fast:( He is starting to fill in, he now weighs in at 9lbs 4oz. He has slept through the night once, but usually gets up once or twice. Yesterday he smiled at me for the first time, it was the most precious thing! (He has smiled since the day he was born, but I think those were all reflexes) He is also starting to coo and grunt which we are very excited about, we can't wait until he is telling us stories and interacting with us more. Below are a couple pictures of Bradley at 1 month and Stella Oviatt at 4 months. Stella is the daughter of Jodi and Ted Oviatt and such a sweet girl! The last picture shows how much his cheeks are starting to fill out.

1 week old photo shoot

This past week we had a photo shoot with Tina Vink...Here are a couple of the pictures... if you would like to see the rest you can go to her website, tinavinkphotography.com and click on client proofs and then Bradley.

Welcome to the world Bradley

He is finally here! Bradley Bennett Nuiver arrived on Oct. 31 at 3:10pm. 7lbs 15 oz and 20 inches long. He is perfect and we couldn't be more in love. Here are a couple pictures of our son...enjoy!

Nursery

Here is the beautiful tree Jodi and I painted in his nursery. The crib is up, his clothes are in the closet and his room will soon be complete with a glider and changing table. Now we need the little guy to make his arrival:)

Here is the latest picture of my belly, I was 38 weeks on Wednesday...The countdown continues:) He is so big and my skin is so thin I can feel his body parts through my belly:) We are very excited to meet him!! As of my last doctors appointment, she is predicting he will either be on time or late...we shall see!!

38 weeks!

Practicing my photography skills with my niece...they are too cute not to share. Maybe I should open my own photography business, everyone else is doing it!!

Here are the pictures to go with the post below...

Here are the latest pictures of my every expanding belly...5 weeks to go and boy is his mommy ready to meet him:) It is getting very uncomfortable to sleep and I can't stand up for more than 10 minutes without my feet feeling like they are going to fall off. They are constantly swollen along with my hands:( I am hoping he decides to make his appearance in the next 3 weeks...He will probably be late but a girl can wish right!

Hailey's 1st Birthday

This past week we took a vacation...we rented a cottage with friends in Dowagiac, MI. We had a great time despite the weather and mosquito infestation:)

Our New House

Christopher and I are official home owners! There are a couple of improvements to be made but overall it's in pretty good shape.

So I am now 29 weeks along, and getting ready to have this baby. I love having the belly and feeling him move is one of my favorite things in the world, but it's starting to get uncomfortable to bend over:) Only 11 more weeks to go!
