Updated Pics of the Boy

What up! Well Jack is now 7 weeks old and he is growing like a weed!! Things are going so rad, He is starting to laugh and smile and coo, and get all excited at certain things like blinking stars that play classical music... Thanks Baby Einstein!! Laura is doing really good, she's enjoying her time off work and spending it with Jack. We are going to Marco Island Florida this Saturday for a week and we are super stoked!! We'll put more pics up when we get back. Holla!! p.s. the D'Backs better beat the Red Sox tonight and the Suns better not trade Leandro Barbosa for a higher draft pick tomorrow!!!

5 Weeks!

Well it's been five weeks since Jack has joined our family and its been so incredible! He's smiling, sleeping, looking around at his surroundings and enjoying his time and us.... so we think! It's crazy how much he has grown in these last few weeks... This is such an awesome experience! Enjoy the pics!

Sleeping with Mom

Oooooooooooh Baby!

So I am finally to a point where I can actually do something besides hold Jack! It has been a crazy 3 weeks since he has been here...I can't believe it's been 3 weeks already. Being mom has been amazing, crazy, tiring, and a whole bunch of other things. I love him to death. I never knew that you could love something so much. The whole thing except for being pregnant the last month was a breeze. My labor went so smooth and really fast. I lucked out. I mean I went on a walk for a mile before I realized that I should get to the hospital, and 3 hours later, there he was in all his glory. He has grown an inch and a half, and gained about 2 pounds, he's a hungry boy! Anyway here are some new pics! We had a mini photo shoot, hahaha! Thanks to everyone for all of their help!

More Pics!

Hey Friends and Fam... here are some more pics of Jack. This week has been awesome! Jack is doing awesome and Laura is trying to get as much sleep as possible. Jack is sleeping really good at night, which is awesome. He and dad have already been able to watch two D-Back's games together! Good times!

Our Little Jack has Arrived!!!

Aaron here... Laura is a little down and out right now because The countdown is over!! Thursday May 1st, 2008 at 1:01am our little boy Jack joined our family! He is so adorable! He was 6lbs, 12 ounces and 19in. long. It was such an amazing experience! Laura started contracting around 9pm Wednesday night, the doc called to see how she was feeling and she told him about the contractions, he said we should go to the hospital, but she wanted to make sure they were real so we went on a walk and then they started coming two minutes apart! We went down to the hospital and they said she was ready to go! We got to the hospital at 10pm, and three hours later our baby boy was born. He is soooo awesome, handsome, adorable, and all of those all at the same time! Laura is feeling pretty good, but just getting her rest. She did such an amazing job, and she was up and at em the next day walking around and feeling good. It was so sureal seeing Jack enter this world. They put him on Laura's stomach and he stopped crying and was wided eyed looking all around. He is so amazing and cute! It was such an awesome experience for me being able to hold him after the nurses did all there tests and warmed him up. Words can not describe the joy. I love just holding him and looking at his face... I stayed up all night with him the first night holding him and looking at him in awe while laura got her sleep. Here are some pics of Jack and Mom, and our little family. Thank you everyone for your love and support. Laura will jump on here after she feels rested and share more. Here is our baby boy, Jack Douglas Elder

Is This Baby Ever Coming Out!!!!!

Ok I seriously am dying here. It's getting so bloody hot and I'm starting to sweat like a pig, I can't take it anymore! I need tips on how to make this baby come! I have been walking miles...seriously miles, and nothing. I'm not brave enough to do the whole castor oil thing either, I have only heard horror stories. So anyway if you have any hot tips I want them, I'm willing to try just about anything.

Bye Bye Ashlee...

Well this weekend was super exciting. My little sis got her mission call a while back and is taking off soon. We had her farewell this weekend and it was amazing! She sang "A poor way faring man of grief" sp? and it was so angelic!! We had all the fam in town and that was super fun in itself. Ashlee has been called to serve in the Everrett Washington mission, it's really sweet cuz that's actually where she was born, and my dad was a bishop there for 5 years! What are the freekin odds?! Laura is doing fantastic and we are both ready for baby Jack to make his appearance! We are sooo excited! Well, we love you so much Ashlee, we are so proud of you! You will do great! We can't wait to see you again in a year and a half! Here are a few pics of Jack's sick room, and our weekend pics...
