Jack Wyatt Durrant!!!

Baby Jack has finally arrived! He was born on May 22nd at 1:59am. He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 20 inches long. He is so cute and we just love him! I can't imagine life without this little guy. He is a complete angel. He sleeps and sleeps and sleeps. I'm sure that will change once he is a little older :) But for now we will take advantage of it.

April showers....I wish!!

It's snowing outside and since my feet are so bloody swollen, I am wearing flip flops. Brilliant. Spring better get her quickly before I go insane.

On a lighter note, Jay graduates this week! Although, he doesn't want to walk and we aren't attending any of it, I thought l would tell him Congratulations!! You did a great job, babe! Now let's get the heck out of this place! :)

Last weekend was my baby shower in Colorado. It was wonderful! I was glad to be able to see all of my sisters, my mom and my friends. Plus, we got a lot of really cool stuff :) Now I feel a little more prepared to have this baby. Although, how ready can you really get when your life is about to change forever? :)

Jack is apparently in a hurry to get here. We almost didn't get to go to CO as I was in the hospital with close contractions a week before. Luckily though, he has managed to stay in for a little longer and our Dr. gave us the ok to go. We have made it to the 34 week mark which was the Dr.'s goal. Hopefully we can make it another 2 or 3 weeks! So, if you don't hear from us...that is why :)

Jay is so excited for Jack to get here so they can go on a hike and go to Lake Powell. I had to explain to Jay that we are having a baby, not a 5 year old. I am so lucky to have a husband that loves kids and is so excited to be a dad. I can't wait to see the two of them together. They are going to be best buddies :)

I've been tagged!

Jami tagged me and it probably took more work for her to tell me how to get this into our blog than filling it out in the first place. She will probably think twice next time :)

The Durrant family's battle wounds

I thought I would dedicate this post to our very recent injuries. Since we hardly ever have them, I thought I would brag and show off our pain with pride :)

Here are some of Jay's.......

Church ball has been rough on Jay this year. Here is his black eye!

Another church ball injury. Fat lip!

Here are some of mine.....



Pregnancy induced swollen ankles and feet. Notice where my socks were. Ha!


Needle bruises from pregnancy blood draws.

Jay decided that he wanted a celebrity collage, too. The first picture of him that I put in gave me only female matches...Katherine Heigl and Drew Barrymore were the top matches. I decided to give it another go....luckily he does look like a boy after all :)

It's a BOY!!!

Well, we FINALLY found out what flavor of kid we are having. We are sooooo excited to be having a boy!! I am pretty sure Jay already has the forms to sign him up for basketball in 2013. Unfortunately I can't work my computer and I can't get pictures of him on here, so you will just have to use your imagination. He is very cute and very small....and probably bald. That should give you enough to work with :) All looked well on the ultrasound and we couldn't be more thrilled! Baby Jack is scheduled to arrive on June 2nd.
