Easton Kydon Bowen is Here!!!




Hopefully all of you are aware that Easton Kydon Bowen was born Wednesday, June 24th at 8:08pm weighing in at 8lbs 8oz and 21.5 inches long! He had a head of brownish/red hair that has progressively become darker every day! He has his daddy's beautiful skin color and is just perfect!! I ended up having to have a c-section after stopping at 9 1/2 cm for 4 hours....he just didn't want to come down any further! We just got to Keith and Sunni's house today where we'll stay for a few days while I recover and my mom and sister are here to help. He is such a good baby!! He only cries when there's something he needs and is super alert when he is awake!! Who knew that you could love someone so much from the moment you see them. Kydon and I are so thankful to God for His protection and provision throughout the pregnancy and for the birth of a healthy baby boy. We give Him all the praise and glory for this miracle and for all He's done for our family! Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we adjust to this new life!! Easton does have some jaundice but nothing to be alarmed over, we are just keeping an eye on it and making sure he gets plenty of sunlight during the day! He finally starting taking to breastfeeing yesterday and is doing very well now! Praise Jesus! It was very saddening and frustrating in the beginning so, I am so thankful that he finally latched on!! Kydon and I are tired, but unaware of it until we lay down!! haha...nothing really seems to be important other than Easton anymore! Its amazing how God changes you to be a parent when it happens! Well, I hope you all get to meet Easton soon! He is changing every day and I can only imagine what he will be like in a month!! Love you all and thank you for all of your support and prayers!!

Oh How We've Grown! :)













So, we started taking pics of me when we found out I was pregnant so we could see the progression of our growth throughout....the only thing I had to wear that I knew would grow with me at the time was my bathing suit so, it may seem a little scandalous, but I thought you might want to see just a couple of the pics to see how much I've grown throughout the pregnancy! Just for a small update, me and Easton are doing very well. I am definitely getting more and more uncomfortable as the days go on, but I still feel great for the most part AND I still have an innie!! :) We're only 3 weeks away today from his due date so, he will be here before we know it! Please keep us in your prayers as the days get closer and closer and be on the lookout for a call or text!!! You never know when he'll decide to make his grand entrance!!

The Apartment, Almost Done!






















Hello! Well, as you know, we "remodeled" our little apartment in the Baptist Collegiate Ministry House and it has come a VERY long way! Here are some before and after pics! Kydon and our friend JT did a TON of work and Keith and Sunni were priceless as well! Thanks to everyone for all of your help! We had many friends and family who contributed and we are so grateful! Now our little family has somewhere clean and pretty to live for a year! :)
