Welcome Zachary!

My good friend, Jen, and I. We are both so happy to be going through this wonderful time in our lives together. Congratulations, Jen. Anson and I are so happy for you and Ken =)

Zachary William Waybright arrived Friday, April 20th at 5:20 p.m., weighing 7 lbs 9.3 ounces and measuring 20.75" long. Look at all that hair!

Updated Nursery Pics

Here are some updated photos of the nursery. It really came together nicely. We are sooo proud of our work. =)

I had an ultrasound on Thursday because I've been measuring big. I was at 34 weeks this week. However, at the ultrasound, the technician measured me closer to 36 weeks. She said the baby already weighs 6.6 lbs. AH! I knew I was going to have a big baby! I go to the doctor's this Friday to find out if my due date needs moved up. The technician said my due date is estimated to be May 15.

Today we attended our first childbirth class at Akron General. We learned a lot about labor and delievery. We saw graphic videos of a few births that really just freaked me out. I'm a wimp! But, all the videos showed women who had natural births...why in the world would anyone put themselves through that is beyond Anson & I. Next week we go back and we're looking forward to the tour of the Maternity floor.

It's hard to see, but notice the precious little baton laying on top of this shelf. Given to her by my good friend and former majorette advisor, Jen Waybright. I love this special gift and can't wait to teach baby how to twirl!

We bought the shelves Friday night. Anson stained them and hung them in time for our company to see on Saturday. Grandma C. is making us curtains and a table drape for the stand where the TV is. We placed a blanket on the stand until we receive them.
Last night while we were showing Jill & Josh the nursery, Jill looked in the crib and said "There's a cat in there!" Peeve had claimed the crib as his new bed. It was really funny! And, Slater is usually seen lounging in the rocker.

Anson now has to share his closet. (Sorry Babe!) I love all the cute clothes we got at the shower last weekend. I'm just afraid she'll outgrow them faster than she can wear them all. Especially if she's a 9 pound baby!

A perfect night for a bonfire!

Last night Anson & I threw a little party & bonfire. It was a beautiful night and a great way to kick off the summer. We wanted to see everyone because I could go into labor any day now. And once baby Cross is here, we will be very busy!

Uncle Jeremy was very interested in our stroller...how it works, how it folds down, and especially how to steer it. We thought he might try to take it home!
Anson's twin cousin, Maryelllen =)

We got so many cute outfits. Our baby will be the best dressed little girl in the world =)

Snowy, lazy Easter Sunday

I think Uncle Jamie was trying to make Sampson an Easter Bunny!

Too much Bacardi = passed out puppy!

Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Jen love their new nephew.

Anson and I were both amazed by my mom's courage to hold, hug and love the puppy. She usually doesn't like dogs, but how could anyone not love that face??

Too much food = passed out, snoring Jeremy!

Uncle Jamie also loves his nephew!

Even when he bites on his fingers...

Daddy and precious puppy. Too much excitement for the little guy.


I didn't get any photos of Grandpa and puppy, but Grandpa also loves Sampson!

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone has a nice Easter. Tonight we are going to the Hartville Kitchen with Jeremy, Jen, Grandma and Uncle Larry. Then tomorrow we are going to my mom's for some Ham! Jeremy and Jen are also coming for Easter dinner. What is everyone else up to? Have a safe and happy one!

Bath Time

He was pretty dirty and smelly when we picked him up. The breeder said she was going to bath him but since we were taking him out in the cold, she didn't think it was a good idea. So, he got a bath as soon as we got home. He must've been really thristy cuz he drank a lot of the bath water!

Love those droopy eyes!

Meet the newest Cross...Sampson!

Hi everyone! Today was an exciting day. We welcomed a new addition to our family. His name is Sampson and he captured our hearts at first sight. He's a very precious and tired little guy. He doesn't do much but lay around and sleep.
