Halloween

We all dressed up for Halloween this year, but I have to admit that Hayden is by far the cutest! He also was such a good little boy as we "trick-or-treated" to Grandma & Grandpa Nebekers' house and to a friend's house.

Reading with Daddy

This is one of my favorite pictures. Daddy is reading a book to Hayden and they both seem to be enjoying it.

Hayden's Baby Blessing

We had Hayden's baby blessing October 11. It was so special to take him to church for the first time and have Daddy give him a blessing. Some of my family was able to come along with Grandpa Dupuis from Georgia. Hayden's outfit that he wore was Chris' when he was a baby so that was really special too. He looked so cute and was even a very good baby all the way through the meeting. I was so proud of him!

He's finally here!!!

Hayden Joseph Dupuis was born Monday, September 14th at 5:17 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and was 20 inches long. He gave us a slight scare at first when it took a minute or two and several nurses to get him to start breathing, but as soon as that happened, he was interested in everything. Chris said that as they were cleaning him off, Hayden was looking in all directions at his new world. He also was immediately ready to eat because they had starved the both of us all day. Colored ice does not do the trick. And thanks to all the heartburn during the pregnancy, he has a head full of hair. He is a cute little guy and I think will be just as handsome as his daddy. Here are some other fun pictures of our Hayden:

The Deadline is Set

I had my final doctor's appointment today. I am getting very close. We set the deadline for Monday, September 14th if he hasn't shown up before then. So by Monday night or early Tuesday morning, we'll be holding our little son. Yay! I can't believe that we are about to be parents!
