Gavin's Life

 What a life a baby has.... I'm envious of all the sleep he gets. Pretty obsessed with this little person!









 Little G LOVES bath time! 



And he loves cousin time! These three cousins are 3 months apart, I'm so excited to watch then grow up together and be best buddies!
Gavin is clearly the smallest and youngest of the crew, he looks like a runt but he will catch up :)

Mother's Day

I had a happy and joyful first mother's day. I cannot be more grateful to this little man for making me a mom. I'm in love!

One Week Old



Here is a humble little newborn shoot I did with my little man. He is such a sweet little model and I can't get enough! Every tiny finger and toe, every roll, and every strand of hair on him is so perfect. I'm one blessed momma. I am falling madly in love with him more and more everyday!

Gavin Scott Gardner 04.21.2012

 Scott and I became parents last weekend and life will never be the same. Saturday morning I woke up to a very uncomfortable feeling, contractions. I have had contractions before and they would stop so I thought that these were just false labor contractions as well. I sat them out for a few hours and they were not going away, they were getting stronger and more frequent. Without getting my hopes up I woke Scott up and we got ready to go to the hospital. I was terrified that these contractions were going to stop and that they would send us home. Thankfully, they told us that I was in fact in labor and that we were going to meet our son 5 days before his due date. They admitted me and got me some drugs (thankfully) and after 8 hours of labor we met our beautiful son Gavin. Best moment of our lives! Being a mom is more then I could have ever imagined and every painful moment of pregnancy seemed so much more then worth it the moment he was born. I've never loved anything the way I love my son, I feel so grateful. We feel so blessed and overwhelmed with love and joy, I feel like my heart might burst! My sister-in-law Becky took these pictures and did an AMAZING job capturing the moment, I can't thank her enough!
