I'm home; let the fun begin!

Paxton had great timing. He decided to make a mess everytime Dad held him or changed his diaper.

Paxton loves the daddy position

From the day he was born he found that binki and held onto it!

Paxton's first bath

One afternoon, Andrew took Paxton upstairs and was there for quite a while. When he came down I asked him what he was doing up there for so long and he said, "I was just playing with my son". Later, he showed me this picture! I thought it was adorable.

When Paxton came home a few days later he had jaundice pretty bad we had to go into the ER and they tried to give him an IV. After being poked at by nearly everybody including the ER nurses, the neo-natal nurses, and the PICU nurses in his hands, arms, and feet, it left a few bruises. They never were able to get the IV in. It was one of the saddest days as parents. Paxton was crying hysterically. He made it through with no lasting effects.

The new addition to the family PAXTON!


Paxton was born June 11, 2008 at 3:39 PM. After 15 hours of labor he finally arrived. He weighed 5 lbs. 12 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. The next day a lady came in and gave us the information sheet to fill so that she knew what to file as his name. We didn't know what we were going to name him yet. Of, course I always wanted him to be named Paxton every since about 4 months into my pregnancy but, dad wasn't too sure about the name. The day we were leaving the same lady who gave us the paperwork to fill out came back and we had been so caught up in the baby we didn't even talk about a different name so I won and Paxton Jay Hansen it was! (Of course I always knew I would win this one- Don't we always ladies?!)

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT..

I  AM FINALLY BLOGGING! I know many of you out there thought it would never happen but after your constant reminders to get this started I finally sat down and took the time to do it. I think I can officially say I was one of the few left to start blogging. The real question will be whether I can keep it up or not. Only time will tell.
