thebarksdalecrew: Happy moments...

Brad and I talked a lot about who we would choose to be Heinz's god parents throughout my pregnancy. To be honest, it was a hard decision. There are so many people in our lives who we would love (and still hope) will be a huge part of his life... Especially when it comes to helping him know The Lord and helping him to be a good person! We came to a decision! Maddie (our niece who is a freshman in high school) will be his god mother and Brian (Brad's brother) will be his god father. We are so excited for Heinz -- he has such an amazing family and wonderful friends in his life already. Maddie and Jamie (one of my bffs from college) were our first out of town guests in our new house! They came to meet Heinz when he was one week old! :-) loved their visit -- so good for the heart and soul to be surrounded by the people you love and who love you!

Our first night sleeping at home was not perfect by any means.... Snuggle nest to the rescue! I suggest this to anyone and everyone. Heinz loves his snuggle nest --- I think his awesome bassinet/pak n play that our sweet nephew Charlie let us use (thank you big brother Ben and Teresa) just felt a little too big and too empty for him. The nest is great -- and portable which is awesome! :-)

At 3 weeks old.. Heinz had his first road trip! We went to Mimi and JoeJoe's! We went to a baby shower for Ginna and baby Tate and we went to a celebration for my sweet friend Lauren and her family of 3 (the Lucas family)! Heinz was a good little nursing boy and everyone he met loved him! I loved having some of our high school group get to meet him! :-) He also got to meet Dottie, nick, and all the kids! Such a fun weekend of travel with my family of 3 and Maggie and Johnny! Traveling as a mama for the first time!
