Okay everyone I have been slow on this because, I have been recovering from a C-section. I got home on Sunday March 29th, sadly Chris and I left without Devin. Yes I said (Devin) we had it spelled as Devon, people were not saying it right at the hospital though. So instead Chris and I decided we would fix it by putting an "I" instead. Anyhow he is so beautiful, or maybe I'm just bias :) This has been quite a crazy trip the past two weeks. Thankfully Chris and I have had wonderful family, and freinds including my boss. I have to thank him for working with me so well, and his sweet wife that has checked up on Chris and I as well. Thank you both so much you are good kind people. I couldn't work at a better place that has taken care of me so well. As for Devin he is out of his enclosed place which they call an (isolette). He is now in an open crib holding his own body temprature. We are so proud of him, although he had some minor set backs and needed oxygen :( poor little thing it looked so sad on him. He also had to have a feeding tube put back down him, which they now took back out ugghhh. I wish they would make up their minds it hurts the poor little guy. As for Chris and I we are just pluncking along at home without our bundle :( it has been really hard on me and got me really down. What I went to the hospital to do for over a week I left without. Giving birth then leaving your baby behind after all that hard work, emotions, being scared, nervous, happy, excited, blessed, relieved when he came out crying it takes it's tole on you. We couldn't love him more though, when we see Devin it all melts away for the moment I hold him and kiss his sweet face. I just want to get to the good part and post some new pics of him :) please check them out below and enjoy.....

Well I didn't think that little Devin would be celebrating his first Easter until next year, but hey we aren't complaining. I mean I'm pretty sure Chris and I are bias to our sweet baby boy, but you can't tell me little Dev doesn't look cute. Everyone has been saying for a while now that he is a spitting image of me, but I don't know I think he is starting to look like his daddy. I have to say that is okay with me his daddy is a handsome one :) So I will just give a short little update for you. Devin now weighs in as of tonight at 4lbs 7oz, oh my our little man is 1oz shy of being a 4 1/2 pounder. He has gained almost a pound and a half in just over two weeks. More good news too, Dev is getting weaned slowly off of his oxygen I can't wait he could possibly come home this week or as late as this next weekend coming up!!!! Chris and I cannot wait to get our baby boy home safe and sound with us. He has so many people to still meet, including dukey boy (our dog). Well baby boy your daddy and I love you sooo much and wish you a happy 1st Easter. You have made this the best Easter ever!!!! One last food for thought from the mommy. I have learned there is no greater gift in this world than creating a child, and seeing them for the first time. It is something I will cherish forever Chris and Devin are my world, and now that Devin is here I can't imagine my life without him. Everyone please enjoy Dev's latest pics :)
