Garrett Jeffrey Lant

We finally decided on the name yesterday morning. We love it and we think it will fit him really well. Here are a TON more pictures for you all to enjoy. We are so glad to finally be home. The pediatrician on call yesterday was extra cautious and wanted him to be at least 48 hours old before we went home. Then we had to wait around for him to go to the bathroom after his circumcision. We gave him 3 bottles, they gave him a bath in the nursery and finally they put ice on his feet and we were able to go home last night at 10:30. It was a long evening just waiting around. We started to get nervous because I was going to be released at midnight and then we weren't sure what would happen.

He has the longest toes!

There are so many cute ones of Lucy holding Garrett. She just loves him and loves to hold him. She is going to be a great big sister!

JJ and his kids!

Thanks Willford Family for our special delivery! They sent Lucy a "I am A Big Sister" bracelet and a bear and balloon. Lucy spend alot of time pretending the bear was her baby yesterday. It was fun to have a special delivery come to my room.

Garrett with his pretty blue eyes open. He is a really alert baby, but also loves to sleep!

He is loving all the room he has to stretch out his long arms and legs. I am pretty sure he has been wanting to do this for a while now.

Our family JJ feeding him a bottle---we were hoping this would help him use the bathroom sooner.

I think this is a really cute picture of Lucy and Garrett
Finally ready to go home!

We survived our first night at home. Garrett is a great sleeper and I hope he stays that way. He only gets up to eat and then goes back to sleep. Hopefully things will stay that way around here.

Baby Lant

We got to the Hospital yesterday morning at 5 AM and then had to wait until about 6:30 to get a room. We were having our baby on a very busy day. So by time they started everything it was about 7 AM. Baby boy arrived at 7:04 PM and weighed 9 pounds even and is 21 3/4 inches long. He is a cute and big little boy and we are so glad he is here and healthy.

39 Weeks

Here we are at 39 Weeks. They are going to induce me on Tuesday morning. We are scheduled to go in at 5 AM! JJ asked me if that was to early for me and I told him to go have a baby I would go at ANY time. We are very excited to meet our little baby and I really can't believe the time is here. I am not sure I remember what a newborn baby is like and I am sure it will take some adjusting. I don't think Lucy has a clue how much her life is going to change but she is very excited. Tomorrow we hope to get some relaxing in and also get the last final things all ready for his arrival. We will keep you posted!

Happy 5 Year Anniversary

Well June 4th is our actual wedding anniversary but we figured we better celebrate a little early. So I thought I might as well do the anniversary post to go along with it. I can't believe 5 years have already gone by. But then again we have done alot and experienced alot in the past 5 years.

For our 1 year anniversary we headed to Estes Park. We attended a wedding for JJ's sister Tracy on our exact anniversary in Ft. Collins, CO. We decided to stay up in Estes Park while there for the wedding. It snowed/rained most of the time but we were able to do some fun things.

Our 2nd wedding anniversary was spent in Las Vegas attending JJ's brothers wedding. We celebrated a little early by going out to eat. ( we must have a popular wedding anniversary)

Here we are in Vegas watching the fountains

Our 3rd wedding anniversary we went to eat at P.F.Changs, where we had our first date.
Last year we got a massage and then went out to eat at Olive Garden.
Today we celebrated our anniversary by boarding the Memphis Riverboat Island Queen for a 90 Minutes sightseeing tour. It was alot of fun! We learned alot about the Memphis City.

Here we are on the boat with the Memphis City behind us.

Going under the I-55 bridge

We would recommend this to anyone, we thought it was alot of fun. It was so nice to get out together and enjoy each others company. Thank you a million times to Eric and Kiley for watching Lucy for us so we could go out. Maybe in another 5 years we will go on another cruise, maybe somewhere a little more like the Bahamas! Can't wait to spend another 5 years with you JJ!
