Introducing Evan Lance Furlow

Ok, so needless to say I've totally slacked on my blog. I could say motherhood has gotten in the way, but it's also lots of other things too...facebook, sleep, being pregnant, whatever the excuse. :) It's been over a year since I've updated it and I'm totally bummed. I've missed out on documenting so many wonderful times with my family and friends (our family vacation, Disneyland with Monica and Annie...I could go on and on). So what better of a topic to come back to blogging as the introduction of my sweet little Evan.

First things first, thanks to my wonderful mom and amazing Gary for coming to help during this time!! We couldn't have done it without them. We were so thankful and blessed to have them help take care of Marley and us. And Claudia too for helping a few weeks later. What an awesome family we have!

So in the family pic below it's the morning of the c-section - right before we headed out the door. Marley got up early as usual and wished us well and then played with pee paw. Then you'll see a pic of me in the hospital hours before we met Evan! I walked into the hospital for my c-section and a few short hours later my sweet boy was born. Thank goodness the nurse finally decided to go get Adam or he would have missed this special moment! I think they were almost half way through the c-section before he came in! My doctor didn't care to wait for the other doctor assisting him either. He just pressed on through.



Evan Lance Furlow was born July 12, 2011 and weighed in at 6 lbs 12 oz.

Our first family pic being a family of 4!
Sweet big sis - already in love with him.
Wasn't too happy to get in that car seat for the ride home. But didn't make a peep after we headed out.

It was a wonderful experience...words cannot describe. I am so very blessed to have such sweet, amazing kids! And of course a wonderful, loving husband too. :)
