Each day Van is growing and changing. He pulls so many different faces I can't seem to memorize all of them. One day he looks so much like dad and the next he looks like mom. We can't figure it out yet. He's been a light to our eyes even though we've lost quite a bit of sleep lately.
It's so exciting to place our little angel in a room I've been working on for the past several months. The babe and I have been camping out in here so Zeb can get his beauty rest for work. It's so sweet that he comes in around 3 am and says, "do you need any help?" and the then passes out in the bed for the next couple hours. Zeb mostly gets his daddy help in after work-he is excellent!
I have to brag a little and thank my creative mother for whipping up this beautiful crib quilt for Van's beach nursery while she was visiting me. I've decided to call it the sand dollar quilt because of the appliqued sand dollars. We picked out the fabric together (mostly batiks-my favorite!) and brainstormed on a design. None of the pieces are the same-I love it! I really don't like following patterns because I think it's quite boring. Somehow my mom knows how I think. Thanks a million mom!! I can't wait for the crib bumper.

Proud Parents!
Three days before my due date I slipped in a rain puddle on my back patio and fractured my right ankle. Thank goodness my mother arrived the next day, just in time for my induction. Van had a slight case of jaundice this past week. Luckily, I have been able to get more food in him and he's been more awake with dozens of prayers. I never expected to deliver with an aircast on my ankle and asking my family to carry Van up and down the stairs in my house. Along with my crutches, I have to do a lot of crawling and scooting to get around my house. What a challenging week it's been but I'm incredibly happy and grateful I get to raise this beautiful child!
