The First Week

Here are a bunch of pictures from our first week with baby Colt! I can't explain how happy I am to have him. I thought it would be hard to love another kid this much but it wasn't even a question. Right from the first second I heard him cry I was in love. It makes me tear up just thinking about it. To put it plainly, I can't believe how overwhelmed I fell with love these days. Not just for him but for the girls too and especially Eric. He has been a dream husband doing absolutely everything and being so patient, happy, and understanding. And watching him adore Colt is a wonderful thing. So here are some pictures since we became a family of five. Not in order of course!

Rachel's new baby Crelli (?) that she now totes around and takes care of. She is interested in Colt's baby care where Livy is interested in his well being and always asking if he is ok.

Father and son. I think he definitely looks like daddy and Rachel.

Fun time at the mall with Aunt Hannah. My mom and Hannah stayed for a week to help us and the girls loved every second of it. And so did I! My dad only got to stay from Thursday to Tuesday. Sad, I wish it was longer but so happy he was here too.

Some Christmas crafts with Grandma.

Cookie time.

The little man. He is a great baby and so sweet.

Colt and Aunt Hannie.

Visiting me in the hospital.

Getting to know the new little guy.

Spoiled with lots of presents from Grandma and Grandpa to keep them busy all week.

Gifts from baby brother.

Sisterly love!

Grandpa Psillos and Colt just after he was born.

Daddy and his boy. Eric made a plan that if he weighed less than 8 lbs. I would name him and if he was more than 8 lbs. he would name him. Eric won!

Love this one! He's a great dad.

Rachel was so into him from the first time she saw him.

Aunt Cassie came to visit us a few days before he was born which was so much fun to get to hang out. We don't get to see each other that much but are still really close so it was so great and special that she got to be here. Thanks so much for all you help Cass!

Grandma Psillos and Colt in the recovery room.

Just after weighing in! 9 lbs. 2 oz. 21" long 7:21 a.m. 12/11/09

Colt Eric Williams

Thumb after only a few minutes of life!

Just before the c-section. 46 lbs. gained.

Colt with his Great Grandma Barbara. Grandma Barbara got lots of holding time in! Thanks for coming to see us "Grandma Gilgo" and for all of your help with the kids.

Four Generations. Four crying, red eyed generations. So sad to see them go.

Crazy group shot! We didn't really get a picture of the girls with him this week because they have been sick and on antibiotics so we have been trying to keep them away from him for a bit. Made for and interesting week of doctors appointments but luckily they were acting normal again after a day of meds.

Grandma's sidekick all week.

Grandma and Colt. Grandma didn't get too much time with him because the girls wanted her all the time.

Mom, I can't say thank you enough for being here this week and for all that you did for us. I don't know how we would have made it. Thank you so much for being such a great mom and Grandma and for all the love you give to all of us. We love you so much.

Just meeting our guy! So excited and over joyed!

Filled with love immediately.

On our way home. Got to leave a day early! Yea!

Grandpa Williams and his third grandson.

Mommy and Colt

Nice face right? Me and Cass. She spent the second night in the hospital with me. We had some good laughs with a big pee and poop incident. Much easier than last time right Cass! (She was with me for the first 2 1/2 months with the girls)

Over all things are going great. He is an awesome baby and eats and sleeps wonderfully. He has a little jaundice but it should clear up soon. We are all so happy he is here and the girls are doing great with him. Thanks so much for every ones help and prayers. We are doing better than I thought we would since all of our help left. Hope all is well with everyone!
