Week One

Well, we survived the first week. Actually he's been so good. He only cries when his diaper is off... in between peeing and pooing while his diaper is off! A friend of mine suggested keeping the cover off the changing pad and using receiving blankets and that's exactly what I'm doing. Our little boy is beautiful as can be, as you can see by the pics.

From the New Mommy

Liam is now four days old and I have loved every minute of it. This has been such an amazing gift God has given me. All of my life I've wanted to be a mom and now it's here. It seems almost unbelievable. I was just telling Sean this morning how this is the hardest yet easiest thing I've ever done. To have such healthy beautiful boys is more than I could ever ask for and yet somehow I have the best gift on earth. Not only that but to realize how wonderful my husband has been just adds the cherry on top. Sean is such an attentive father and he is so hands on. Without him this experience wouldn't be as wonderful as it has been. I can't imagine it any other way.

Introducing... LIAM AUSTIN HENSLEY !!!

Born at 3:07am on June 9th, 2008, We are overjoyed to welcome our new baby boy... Liam Austin Hensley. He was born a very healthy 8lbs. 7oz. and 20 inches in length. He is absolutely perfect in every way. We are very blessed to receive the overwhelming love and support from family and friends during our two day stay in Tacoma General Hospital. We literally had 60+ visitors in two days including a very dear family friend Ann Whitaker all the way from California to see little Liam's arrival. Today is our first full day at home and we are so excited for the years of memories we are about to receive.

To be continued....

Love you all,

Sean, Leslie, Austin & Liam

Week 39

So the end is finally here. I had my week 39 appointment and if the baby doesn't come on his own this weekend, I'll be induced on Tuesday morning. I can't believe the time is here! It doesn't seem possible that in a few short days, I'm going to meet my son and see his little face. We're so excited and ready. Austin wanted to go shopping today and pick up a few little items for his brother so we did that. Otherwise, we're just hanging around waiting. :) I guess that's what you're supposed to do. Hopefully our next post will be with pictures of our new addition to our family. We can't wait to show him off!
Love,
Sean, Leslie and Austin

Update...

So we had our weight estimate today and they think he's about 8lbs 4oz! He's a big boy and hopefully ready to join us anyday. :) We may be having an induction this week so we'll keep you posted. Unfortunately we don't have any new ultrasound pics to share. Babies are so big at this point you can't see a whole lot. In other news, Austin is Star of the Week at school next week! He's really excited. He also has a baseball banquet, field trip and recorder recital so he's nice and busy.
