A whole new life...


Well, it is settling in a little more... life will never be the same. This isn't a bad thing, and we expected this to be the case, but it is now really settling in. We love our little Peter Allen. He is the best thing that ever happened to our little family, but things sure do change when you add a little one.


We are getting used to getting up a few times each night, taking turns changing diapers, and claening up spit-up. We are getting better at preventing Peter from peeing on us every time we change him. We are excited that his umbilical cord fell off this week and that he is gaining weight. We love his little gas smiles and all the grunting noises he makes. Who knew that such things would consume our thoughts all day every day.


David started his summer Chemistry class last week and started working summer school this week. He is a busy guy... I'm not sure how he does it. This means, however, that I am at home alone with this little baby who is not quite three weeks old! It was a little overwhelming at first but we are getting the hang of it.


We are learning a lot and love to watch Peter grow. We can't wait till he can give us real smiles and laugh and play!

He's Here!... Peter's Birthday

Peter Allen Reynders joined our family June 9th at 6:51 am. He came into this world at 7 pounds 14 ounces and 20 inches long. He is perfect in every way. We love him so much!

Still Waiting...

Here's a little sneak peak at our son's room. His name is not noodle, that's a little inside joke between David and I, but when we name him we plan to place his name in wooden blocks over his crib. We are getting more and more anxious for him to come. Our doctor had us thinking that he would be here by now, but we are still waiting. His due date is this coming Saturday, June 12th... but we are sure hoping he comes before then. We are anxious to meet our new son and start on our journey as parents.
