A Busy Two Weeks for a Little Guy

Grady has accomplished a lot in his first two weeks of life. Yesterday marked the big two-week mark, and we couldn't help but document all of his big achievements.

So far, he's mastered being adorable...

 He's learned that his super big Binky pacifier makes sleeping at night a lot more bearable at times for his moms and himself...

He's taken up swinging — and hiccuping — as his favorite daytime activites....

He's decided life is much better when being held, of course...

And, our big boy lost his umbilical stump (gross, we know) right on time. But, now, he's ready for a real bath.

Day 14 was a big one for Sir Grady. He has made his Mom and Mommy proud. 

 And his furry sister, Mojo, is quite fond of the little guy, too...

For those of you wondering, Clementine (the bad kitty) has remained a safe distance from Grady and is slowly accepting the fact that this squeaky addition is here to stay.

See You at the Polls

Grady took some time out of his busy schedule to accompany us up the street to cast a vote in the primary today.


Of course, the choices combined with the heat were a bit overwhelming for the little guy,


but, all in all, he decided it was worth a trip because he got a cool sticker of his own just like his moms.

Now I Lay Me...

Down to sleep...for now anyway.

A Star is Born

We have spent a lot of time the past 10 days doting over our little guy by taking pictures and videos documenting his every move. We're thoroughly convinced that he's quite possibly the cutest thing ever. 

No...make that definitely the cutest thing ever! 

Due Date

Today is the date we have had marked on our calendars since we started expecting our little bean in November. We were lucky to have him a week early and, boy, what a wonderful week it's been!

On Saturday, we took Grady home from the hospital in his enormous car seat, and he enjoyed the whole ride home...asleep...



And introduced him to life at home...


He's quite fond of life on the outside...





Needless to say, we have really fallen in love and have been enjoying our new little family...

Grady's First Day

We were so happy to finally welcome Grady Vaughn Foshee Fields into the world Thursday.

His grand entrance was much more fast and furious than expected. We went in "to get things started" at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, with an induction scheduled for 5:30 the next morning and expectations of the little guy arriving around 12 hours or so later.

Well, this 6 pound, 3 ounce bundle of joy arrived, instead, at 5:05 a.m. Thursday — much to the surprise of his moms and ALL of the medical staff.  Our doctor who arrived just moments before the kid crowned said that Lauchlin was in labor for a total of four and a half hours. So, after nine pushes,  we met our very sweet and beautiful son...

He spent his first day meeting family and charming everyone with his calm disposition.

Yep, he's a keeper. 

The Final Countdown

We're down to two full days of baby-prep, and so far, so good. Baby G now has a place to sleep...

A cool and safely installed ride for the trip home....

And a stylish mirror to boot...

This little guy, though showing no signs of wanting to come out on his own yet, will be in good shape when he does arrive Thursday. And, after seeing the below ultrasound, a profile pic of our then-estimated 7 pound, 5 ounce son, we are beyond ready to meet him.

Just look at those cute, little lips — just waiting for mommy kisses.
