3 months old

Nathan is now 3 months old. I can't believe how fast time as gone. Some of you know that I started taking pictures of Nathan with a little stuffed monkey when he first came home and continue every month to see how much he has grown. Here they are.

Baby Blessing

We had Nathan's blessing over the 4th of July. It was very touching. I know it was a hard time for many of us with remembering Nate's passing and grieving for the recent loss of Uncle Todd. There were many tears, but the spirit was very strong. We are grateful for our family and friends that were able to attend and thank you for your help.


We feel so blessed to be the parents of this special little boy. He has a very sweet spirit and looking into his eyes you can see that he is a very special child of our Heavenly Father.




Here are some pictures from his blessing.

This is the outfit that Nathan wore. His grandfather Steve Domine was baptized in it as an infant. His great-great grandmother Justine Gerber made the shall and the afghan that he is sleeping on.

Fathers Day

Neal had a nice first fathers day. Nathan slept really good so we were all able to get some good rest. I got some cute pictures of dad and baby together. They had a nice service at church and the men got treats during priesthood that the relife society sister brought.

As I reflected on the influence of the men in our lives I was very grateful for my husband and the wonderful father he is. As well as the other dads and grandfathers in our lives. Thank you all for the love and support you give to us. We love you!

Memorial Day

Over memorial day weekend we took our first out of town trip with Nathan. He did pretty good in the car and slept most of the way. It was quite an experience to pack for a new born and load the car up with all of his things, our things and two dogs for a 7 hour trip. Here are some pictures we took at the Haymore ranch.

Week 6

Nathan is now 6 weeks old. He is getting big! He has gained 2 lbs and grown 1 inch since birth. We even got a couple nights of 6 hours sleep. I can't believe the time has gone by so fast!

Nathan is here!

Our little boy made is way into the world early Tuesday morning April 13, 2010.

Introducing Nathan Daniel Haymore, weighing in at just shy of 9 lbs...

8 lbs 15 oz 20 1/2 inches long born at 12:39 am.



We checked in to the hospital at 7:30 sunday night April 11 to be induced. They gave me a medication called Cervadil to help me dialate, I had some contractions through out the night.

Monday morning April 12 they started the pitocin. By about 3 pm that afternoon the nurse checked and I was about 3 centemeters dialated, they increased the pitocin and broke my water. The contractions got worse and I asked for the epidural. I wont get into details but it didn't go as smoothly as we would have liked. By 10 pm that night I had only progressed to a 4 and I was in a lot of pain because my epidural hadn't been placed incorrectly. Over the next hour or so they replaced my epidural and called the Dr. I was at the max pitocin I could have and wasn't progressing so he felt it was best to just do a c-section. So our little man was born at 12:39 Tuesday morning via c-section. He did great through out the entire process, he was never in distress and tolerated the labor well he was just too big to fit. But he is perfect.

We spent the next few days in the hospital where mom got very little sleep. We came home Friday morning April 16th.

He wasn't real pleased with the carseat but once we got going he slept the whole time.

We love being home with him. We are all finally getting some rest and enjoying each other.

Baby Update

Well we only have a few weeks left before our little boy arrives. We are both super excited and can't wait to meet him. At my last ultrasound on Tuesday they estimated that baby Nathan is 6 lbs 14 oz and everything looks good. My Dr said that with my Gestational Diabetes he wont let me go past my due date. So if I haven't delivered by 39 weeks he will induce me sometime that week. So we'll see what happens.


It's hard to believe that its almost April already and the baby will be here soon. We only have a few more items on the 'to do list' and we are pretty much done! My awesome husband finished the nursery yesterday. It turned out really cute!

We also had a baby shower up in Utah with our friends and family. I don't have all of the pictures yet but here are a few. Enough to see how big I was then and some of the cute gifts we received.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us in preparing for our new arrival. We are very grateful for your generosity.

In other news we were recently released from our calling at church as Nursery Leaders. We really enjoyed our time in the Nursery. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun with the kids.
