A whole week old!

Well Layton is officially 1 week old today and so much has happened since the last post!  He was born on 4/14/11 at 9:29 pm.  He weighed 9 lbs 8 oz and was 20 3/4 in long!  We always thought we was big but never thought this big.


With that being said, we went in for an induction, but after sitting in the hospital all day it became clear the only way he was coming was by C-section.  Once that decision was made things went very fast and it all seems like a blur.  







The surgery went very smoothly and Brandon did an excellent job keeping me calm and giving me play by play. :)  I also had the best CRNA.  I was so lucky to have her there!

All I heard the whole time was the entire team talking about how big he was!  Finally, after 9 months of waiting, Brandon brought our Layton Samuel over for me to see him. :) :) :) Soon after this is when we found out exactly how big he was!  Still amazed about the whole thing!!

We made it to recovery and this was my first time holding him.  We had a few minutes alone with him before all the family came back and it was wonderful!  Something else wonderful was the ice chips!!!  It was a long day with no liquids...

Layton Samuel Daigle

So that's how he got here and I have hundreds of pictures since then so here are a few of my favorites from week 1 of life.

Our door decoration that my sister handmade for a baby shower.  I love it!

Layton's first bath... he seems to like it okay.... THIS time! :)

 So fresh and so clean, clean.

Layton with his sissy, Victoria.  She's going to be so good to him.  It's absolutely adorable how much she already loves him. :)

He also met his big brother Caleb.  Something about this picture totally melts my heart!

Pure sweetness!

 This was at about 36 hr of life.  The shirt says it all... his mommy definitely loves him!!!

 More sissy kisses :)

It's go home day!!!  Such a peaceful face.

Quick shot of the last time we'll be in this hospital room :)

Yay!  First road trip, but most importantly it's a trip home!

 Mommy's first bath time with Layton.  Not loving it so much anymore.  HaHa!  I'm blaming the cord stump which means no submerging into the water... "Mommy I'm cold!"

Look at that pouty face!
Love him to pieces.

 More of sissy and brother.  And this pretty much wraps up our week one!

Let's get this party started!

 Well it's week 40 of the pregnancy and I've definitely been procrastinating when it comes to starting the blog!  But, I'm excited about it and hope I can keep up with it.  The Nursery has been a slow process but Brandon has worked very hard to make it just like I wanted!  So, here are the pictures...

 So, if you haven't heard me complain about it, my glider will not be here on time!  It's my fault I didn't order it sooner, but 10-12 weeks.. GEEZ that's a long time to wait!  When it does show up it will go in the vacant corner.

My puppies haven't quite figured out what's going on, but they know something's up.  Brandon has been way more strict on where they can and can't go and the nursery is a day to day guessing game.  Today it's a go.

This picture on the right I worked very hard on.  I wanted a picture of Brandon and I in the nursery and this is one of my all time favorite pictures.  The second thing I needed was more color on the wall.  So, I decided to glue color coordinated mosaic tiles to a blank canvas and stick our picture in the middle.  It worked out better than I had hoped so I'm very happy with the outcome!

 The significance of this picture is the elephant.  Victoria got Layton a gift just from her and she was extremely excited to give it to me!  The elephant is from scentsy and it makes the room smell fabulous!  Also, she gave him two baby books that are in the shelves you can see in other pictures one being Goodnight Moon which was her very own baby book!  She's so sweet!  Layton will be blessed with a very loving big sissy!!!


Last but not least I needed to show a picture of the beautiful hardwood floors Brandon worked so hard on.  He's been such a trooper and I'm so proud of him!

Now we just need our little peanut to come on out!  We are beyond excited and very very anxious.  His due date is Tuesday, but incase he decides he wants to be like his momma and be late to everything we will be inducing on Thursday the 14th :)
