Happy Thanksgiving!!
Its a quiet day at our house today but we have so much to be thankful for this year - our two beautiful boys, our good health and of course are friends and family. We hope that you all had a nice and relaxing day as we did.
Here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving. It snowed here this morning so Kevin and Avery had a great time playing outside. We even broke out the sled for the first time this year!

Introducing Jacob Montgomery Blalock
Baby Jake and I had a restful stay in the hospital. We had a fabulous nurse, Flo, who hooked us up with a corner room with two big windows and a walk in shower. Having been through once before, I opted for an extra day in the hospital, put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door, and spent the extra day napping. This also gave Avery and extra day of TLC with Kevin's mom, Bebe, who thankfully has been staying with us for the last week.
Friday was our big coming home day and Bebe had plans to bring Avery to the hospital so we could make a big deal of the whole process. Avery woke up with a stomach bug and puked all over his bed. Kevin went home to check on him and after a few hours of cartoons and a couple of pieces of toast he thought maybe the little guy was okay. They packed up the car and got on the highway only to have Avery throw up all over the back of Kevin's car. Poor Kevin, this made his already stressful day even more stressful. So, I took another nap and Bebe came to get me a few hours later. Thankfully Avery was okay after he got up from his nap and we made it through our first day at home.
The weekend was relatively uneventful. We're not sleeping much at night but all in all the baby has been really good. We had a rough start with breast feeding in the hospital so we have been supplementing him with some formula. We go back to the doctor today so he can get weighed to make sure he is gaining weight. Avery has been great with the baby. He is very curious and so far has been really sweet and gentle with him. We have had a lot of support from Avery's daycare teachers as well as from Kevin's mom this past week. He has had so much extra attention the last few weeks I feel like the whole event has been very positive so far.
Here are a few more pics from the weekend. Thanks to everyone who has called, emailed and left us comments on the blog! It's great to hear from you!!

Happy Halloween!!

Avery making his big smile and me, ready to burst from being ssssooo pregnant. I thought there was a chance we could have a Halloween baby, but I was mistaken yet again!!
