Week One & Week Two

Well now that Braxton is two weeks old we are pros at being parents!! (If it were only that easy.) Luckily Grammy stayed for two weeks and helped us with everything... the long nights, the dirty diapers, and even some shopping trips. A lot happened during his first two weeks….

Our first day home we wanted Laci to get to know Braxton... we knew she would have a hard time sharing her mommy and daddy with her little brother... She had such a problem the vet diagnosed her with "Braxton Induced" stress. ( I am not even kidding, she was on meds and everything.)
During Braxton's first few days Gramps was here too and we got a great picture of Grammy, Gramps and Braxton... look at those chicken legs!
Of course during Grammy's two week stay she spent alot of time admiring her new grandson...



Laci was a little jealous of all the attentions Grammy was giving Braxton, can you tell?

Also during the first two weeks Braxton had his first bath.... lets just say it didn't go as smooth (or calm) as we thought it would. He HATED it.


And of course during his first two week were his first two Patriots games.... both of them were very very close games but Braxton brought them baby luck and so far the Pats are 2-0 since Braxton was born.


 
And our family Patriots picture!!

Also at the end of his second week we started Tummy Time so here is a video of Braxton showing off how strong he is.




Now here are just some other cute pictures of him. (At least I think they are cute!)

Welcome Braxton Sean McEwen

After 39 weeks and 4 days our "little man" has finally arrived on October 9, 2010 at 9:37pm. We finally decided on a name, so Braxton it is!! He was 7lbs. 6oz. and 20 inches long. Braxton was easy on me and came after 5.5 hours of labor.
Here are some of the first pictures of Braxton. . . .


Our first family picture!


We had many guests at the hospital, even Grammy and Gramps made the drive from North Carolina in time for the delivery.
