Baby Avett!!!

So, we had a very eventful day yesterday; baby Avett came Sunday afternoon the 29th of April and man were we ready! At 9lbs. 1oz., Avett was the talk of the maternity ward with all of his cute hair and happy demeanor, and we couldn't be more happy about it, he is not one for crying, just makes himself known through little grunts which more often then anything just make us laugh! here are some pictures of our little boy:

He likes to keep his hands up by his face. Every ultrasound picture we have of him, has a little pudgy hand by his pudgy face. He likes to be swaddled so that his hands can be near his face. He also likes to be swaddled with enough room to stretch his legs completely straight. We can see that he enjoys having more room these days. 

 

One of the first times I could sit up in bed and hold our little man. I love all that hair!!

Baby Shower!

 My mom, Mother-in-Law, and Kendra Wilkensen through me a baby shower, and it was fantastic! Kendra was soo kind in hosting it at her house and she created a fun jungle theme for Baby T, with some awesome food too!

 Some of my friends that were in attendance, it was so fun to just spend time with our Valley Center friends because we have been gone for so long and even since we have been back we come and go, we definitely missed them!

 An awesome 'jungle friends' cake.

 My Mother-in-Law made this super cool blanket for Avett to put his toys on and cuddle to. My Mom knitted some sweaters and onzies that are to die for, I will try to find a picture and post it.

This Bump is Outrageous

Today is my baby shower, and I am so excited to see all my wonderful friends and family. We get to eat yummy food, hang out, and catch up on all the happenings of our lives. I am grateful for all the people who care so much for me. I feel really blessed these days. 

We finally picked a name!!! Baby Turner is going to be Avett O'Quenn Turner when he enters this world (a-vet oh-que-win). It took a great deal of deliberation to come to this name, but we feel it was worth it. Hopefully he comes soon because we so look forward to meeting him.

Jordan cut his hair :(

 trying so hard not to cry minutes before he cut his hair... (at least it wasn't the beard)

but he is still handsome!

Fun at Balboa

 Art, done the San Diego way..

After going to Balboa we went down to Coronado and the Hotel Del and the beach, Ellie waded in the water (because sometimes pregnant feet get swollen) and it felt amazing. We also took an hour nap on the beach. It was lovely until tourists kicked sand on us. They don't always understand the dynamics of walking downwind from where people lay on the beach. We did get a little sun though, which is always wonderful.
