Disneyland 2008

So we just got back from Disneyland with my family and it was such a blast. It was so great to see my entire family and have them all meet Owen. As you can see, he has grown a ton and has started smiling ton. Here are a few pictures of him from the past month or so.

The scrunch-smile face. I love it.

He loved Disneyland and was obviously very tired in that picture. He was actually really good and let us all enjoy being with him and getting to go on rides. He got to ride Pirates of the Carribbean, the Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted House (which is my favorite), and a couple of he little kids rides. He had a great time.

Grandpa finally got to meet his little grandson and what a cute sight. And little Emerson and Owen look so cute with eachother. They are going to be great friends I can already tell. I love how close in age they are together.

Thanks mom and dad for the great trip and we can't wait to see you on Christmas. We love you so much.

New pictures of Owen

Well, I found a few minutes (only when Shawn was home) to post some new pictures. Owen is doing well, I am extremely tired but other than that, we are doing great. He is growing and is a sweet little boy.

After bath time, which he loves.

Shawn luckily caught this little smile.
Shadow loves to be wherever Owen is.
He always has his hands by his face.

Check out those lips!
Thanks for this outfit Erica. Owen loves it.

Say hi to Shawn Owen Bird!!!

Well after 36 hours of labor we finally got to meet little Shawn Owen Bird. The labor was long and painful but oh so worth it after seeing the beautiful little baby boy. We are all doing well and Owen is being just a great little baby. He can't wait to meet everyone that he hasn't already. I am so thankful that my mom and sisters were able to make it and my mom has been a lifesaver staying with us these past couple of days. I couldn't thank her enough for helping us get used to this parenting thing.

I just couldn't resist this one, isn't that adorable.

If you can't see it, he weighed 7lbs 4oz.
Awwwww
Doing what he does best.
One of the only times he has been awake lately.

This was on the way to the hospital.

Update overdue!

So it has been a while but I honestly don't have much to report. I am just anxiously waiting the arrival of little Owen due on the 20th. This last month has to be the hardest just being uncomfortable and impatient to meet the little guy. I am so excited and I can't wait. We get to take our first family vacation also to Disneyland in October. My mom called and said they decided last minute to take the trip and the entire family will be there so we have to go. We are very excited and can't wait to go. Other than that, this pregnancy has been great. No bumps along the way ... so far anyway. So my next post will probably involve pictures of the new addition to the Bird family.

I got to go home for the 4th of July and a baby shower that my awesome sister Erica threw me. It was a lot of fun to see everyone there.

Shadow trying out Owens new crib. I think he liked it.

Ok, ok, ok. The long awaited post.

Well, I have been hounded from my lovely sisters to post new pictures so they can see prego Lindsie since we don't get to see eachother. So here you two go. The pregnancy has been going great, I feel really good and honestly have no complaints. 12 more weeks to go! I can't believe how fast the time has gone.

Getting bigger ...
and bigger ...
and this was yesterday.

Another awesome thing that happened was that I graduated!! Yeah finally. I graduated with my Bachelors in Accounting and it feels great. The timing could not have been better either. So since I am not bogged down with homework all the time, I have been able to try and get Owen's room ready. We have been moving the rooms around and it has actually been quite fun. It is just nice to be able to do what I want with my time instead of always having to do homework.

Well, I am looking forward to seeing everyone in July.

Prego!!

Here is what I look like now. I am 4 1/2 months now and we found out that we are having a BOY!!! We are really excited about it. I have some ultrasound pictures that I will try and get on here this weekend. He is definately a boy and his name will be Owen. He looks great and there are no problems to speak of right now which was very relieving. If you haven't e-mailed me yet, please do with your address so Erica can send you a baby shower invitation. I can't wait for that, it will be a lot of fun to see everyone.

Baby Shower

Hi everyone. I know I haven't posted in a long time but things have been really crazy. To make it short, my company is struggling pretty bad so I am most likely changing jobs, we have a broken pipe that we have to fix, I am still in school (although I will be graduating in April :)), and the list goes on and on. Why does everything bad always happen at once is what I want to know.

Anyways, I am going to be coming to good old Arizona on the 4th of July weekend because my sister is throwing me a baby shower. If you could all e-mail me your addresses so I can give them to her that would be awesome. My e-mail is ylindsie@hotmail.com. I can't wait to see everyone then.

Oh yeah, we find out what we are having tomorrow so I will be posting then to let everyone know.

Shawn's interpretation of the baby.

So this is Shawn's art interpretation of the baby. After our first appointment he was inspired to draw this picture. We are so excited for this new little addition to the family and can't wait for all the new changes. I have just barely started to show a little and it is fun. I am about 12 or 13 weeks now and am feeling pretty good.
We are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks to Cabo and we are so excited about it. It is a short 3 day trip but it will be so worth it. I am getting my legs and bikini area waxed for it and I have never done it before but I figure I should so I don't have to worry about shaving the whole time. I am a little nervous about it so if any of you have done it before and can give me some advice, that would be great.
