Master Drake at home...

Here is Drake after nursing. He just tuckers himself right out after eating- it's such hard work! Here I am just loving my sweet little boy. He's growing so fast, it's so not fair! He needs to stay little forever!
We weren't joking when we said he had tons of red hair- just like his daddy! Nick decided to spike it all up after his bath and then we couldn't get it to lay back down for a day! Too cute!

And here is our sweet little angel sleeping in his daddy's arms. He sure loves his daddy...he has the magic touch!

Hello Mr. Drake!!

Here is Daddy changing Drake's diaper. What a man- goes to work and then comes home to change diapers! Here is Grandma (aka: GG) with Drake.
And here is Mommy with Drake. This photo was during his first week home, and during my first week of sleeplessness... but it's so worth it!

And here are Mike and Lori with Drake. What happy grandparents!

And here is Master Drake sleeping like a king. He is so darn adorable when he sleeps...he acts just like a little man...arms up and everything!

Having my baby boy...

Here I am holding my baby for the first time. What a wonderful miraculous feeling! I'm a Mama! Here is Drake's first photo. Daddy took this of him right when he came out.
Here are Nick and I while I was in labor. He was so wonderful through the whole thing- such a good hubby! I couldn't ask for a better husband.

Here we are before I got my epidural- trying to hold it off on the birthing ball. I'm not a big fan of contractions, but they got us quite the prize at the end! We love being parents!

Welcome To The World Drake Nicholas Thompson!!

Drake Nicholas Thompson was born on Sunday, June 14th at 9:44 pm. He was 7 lbs. 14 oz, 21.5 inches long and had over an inch of red hair!! He is so beautiful and such a wonderful baby! Nick and I are doing well and the delivery was great (gotta love epidurals!). Drake is a week and a day old now and is such a sweet baby. It's amazing how a baby changes your world, Nick and I will never be the same...I can't believe we ever lived without this sweet little spirit. I will post some pictures soon!
XOXO happy mama,
Mandy
