Evan is growing like a weed!

We can't believe how fast Evan is growing and changing! He is getting cuter and cuter every day! We think he is definitely over 9 pounds by now and outgrowing his newborn clothes already! Here are some pics from the picture people and some that I have taken over the last couple of days.

Just a little update!

Our 1st Christmas with Evan was wonderful! He was such a good boy with all the traveling and wants to thank everyone for all the presents! He can't wait to play with all the toys real soon. Here are some pics of Evan and all the family.

Merry Christmas to all!

So Evan went for his 2 week checkup today and he is now at 8 lbs 13 ounces and 21 1/4 inches. I can't believe how much he's changed already and he's growing so fast. I know we should just get used to that because it will only continue for many years to come. We are so looking forward to our 1st Christmas with him and our family. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and each family is as blessed as we are this Christmas. Here are some pics of our little man posing for his 1st Christmas card. Enjoy!

The Best Christmas Present Ever!

Just wanted to stop and update everyone on our family. Evan is such a good baby, Jimmy and I are so lucky. For the most part we've just been hanging out at home and getting adjusted to having a little one around. Thanks to everyone for the calls and visits. We are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. Evan has lots of people to spoil him and I think its starting to work already. Here are some pics from the last couple of days. Mommy can't put down the camera! He seems to change everyday and I don't want to miss a single thing! Enjoy and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Bringing home Evan!

After 5 long days in the hospital, we are finally at home with our new son. Everything is going well so far and he is being such an angel. Just an update on Evan, he now weighs 7lbs 14 ounces and doing very good. His first night home was not so great but last night he only woke me and daddy up twice. So we can't complain, seems like we have a sweet angel! Here are some more pics that we've taken over the last few days! I will update more now that I have a little more time and energy. Thanks again to everyone for their thoughtfulness and prayers.

Welcome to the world Evan John Hicklin!

After much anticipation, we finally have our baby boy. Evan John Hicklin was born on Dec 2nd at 12:40am and weighed 7 lbs 10 ounces and was 21 inches. He had a rough little start but is doing much better now. Mommy and Daddy were so happy to finally meet him along with all of our family. Thanks to all our family and friends for their prayers and support during the long labor process. We could not be more blessed! Here are some pics of Evan's arrival:

Still no baby Evan!

Well, we're still waiting! I went back to the doc on Tuesday and still had no changes besides my cervix being a little thinner. They put me through a series of tests because my BP was slightly high and there was a trace of protein in my urine. So far the tests turned out ok but I'm still waiting to hear back from my 24 hour urine test. I'm sure I'll get the results at my appointment on Monday. So needless to say Thanksgiving was pretty boring around here. We couldn't go far because of the baby and the test so we just hung out and relaxed around the house. We were able to enjoy a Thanksgiving lunch at Cracker Barrell with my parents and Aunt Carly and I was sure hoping that turkey would get Evan moving but no such luck. So Daddy and I have been resting during this holiday weekend and praying for our son to come soon. Everyone says to enjoy the rest while you can but personally I'm sick of resting and being bored. We've decorated for Christmas already and I'm all out of projects, so whenever he is ready will be fine with me. I go back to the doctor tomorrow and hope they give me good news. Everyone keep praying for us and we'll update soon.
