Here is a link to website that has pictures of Zeke. A lady from a MOMS group meeting that I am apart of wanted to build her baby and children part of her business. She gave us a free session and it went amazing. This is just a sneak peak. She is sending us a CD with all the pictures on it and I can post them then. He is smiling like crazy now and gaining weight!
I love him more and more each day.

4 weeks
So technically Zeke doesn't turn 4 weeks old until tomorrow but I know if I don't blog today it won't happen until he's one month old! He is getting so big. Chris and I were looking at pictures of him when he was only 1 week old and he was so tiny! He still is pretty tiny but he's getting chunky. I'm happy that he is getting all the food he is needing and gaining weight...but I want him to stay little forever already:)
One of my friends let us borrow her Miracle Blanket this Tuesday. It's supposed to help you baby sleep longer. The longest time that Zeke has slept in a row at night was 2-3 hours!! The last week it was almost every hour! I was a wee bit tired if you know what I mean. Well we tried it Tuesday night for the first time and he slept for 5 hours straight!!! Fed once and then slept for another 3 hours! It was amazing:) That thing really works.I am so happy she let us borrow it. It's not really a blanket more like a swaddle thing. It hold the baby's arms down so when their reflexes go when they sleep it doesn't wake them up. It's amazing! I would recommend this to any mom out there who has a baby that does not sleep very well at night.
Chris and I took some nakie pictures of him last night. It was so funny...I think he really liked being naked.
Well I guess I should get in the shower while he is sleeping:) Have a great day!

Hope everyone is doing great!

He is Here!
Ezekiel Christopher Bryant was born August 1st at 9:27am. He was born in water at The Fruitful Vine Birth Center. 7 pounds 11 ounces 20 and a half inches long.
He is so beautiful. Perfect in every way.
My labor went so smooth and fast. I went into labor at 3:00 in the morning and he was born at 9:27. That is stinking fast labor! I went all natural and it was amazing. I can not describe the feeling of it. Chris and I feel so blessed to have this little man.
Here are a few pictures I know I will post many many more soon.
Our first Family photo! This was right after he was born!
The first time Chris held his son.

39 weeks
Our estimated due date for Ezekiel is in 4 days people!!! We are so excited!!! can you tell? haha
Today was my last day at work. It was a bittersweet day. I am glad that I get to stay home and wait for our son to come. Get the home prepared...although our bags are already packed and ready to go! I prayed that Zeke would hold off until I finish work and he is obeying me:) I think that means he is going to be a good listener..or maybe it just means he is going got be like his mom and late for EVERYTHING!!! haha who knows...I guess we will see in a few days.
I am ready for him to come physically. My body it really hurting and sleep is just not happening. I know this is just part of it and I'm thankful that it has just started being this way the past month.
Chris and I are so excited about becoming parents. It still does not feel real yet. We have had showers and have his room all set up but that's just stuff until he's here.
I keep thinking about the day he is going to come. I wonder what my labor story will be. I know it will be amazing to Chris and I no matter how he enters the world. We get to meet our son!!! I am really excited about birth. My body is going to do something that God created it to do. A human being..that I grew..with the help of Chris;)...is going to come out of me. Craziness I tell ya. I know it is not meant to be pleasurable but Holy cow, All of my hard work will pay off by getting to hold my son for the first time.
The first 24 hours are going to be so special for Chris and I. We are going to be the only ones holding him (plus our midwife who has to check him and make sure he is doing good). What a bonding period in his life and ours as well. Then the fist week of Little Zeke's life only his Grandparents and Great Grandparents(How cool is that he will have great grandparents)and immediate family will be holding him. We want to be able to bond with our son a lot the first week. Crystal Clean has given Chris a whole week off of work once Ezekiel is here which is such a blessing! I want Chris to soak up as much time with him as possible.
I hope soon I get to post that I am in labor or that Ezekiel has arrived:) I hope all of you are doing well and will blog to you soon!

38 Weeks
I know I am a little late this week but we have a little under two weeks left before my due date! We are so stinkin excited and can not wait to meet our little man. Time still is going by very fast.
::UPDATES::
1. Tomorrow starts my last week of work. I am very sad to be leave Crystal Clean. They have been so very good to me and Chris. Training has been an adventure for me. I have never trained anyone before. Jennifer is super nice and I think she will do great for Crystal Clean. Just not as good as me, right!?! ha
2. We finally finished Ezekiel's room. All clothes are washed and put away. What a wonderful feeling that is I tell ya. Now his room is just waiting on him like his mom and dad. I love just sitting on the couch in there looking at all his stuff. He has so much stuff. Chris said last night when we were sitting in there, " do you remember what this room used to look like?" It was our junk room pretty much. We live in an apartment so storage is how you say...limited! We have none at all so all of our extra stuff was in there. We cleaned that joker out gave away lots of stuff and even sold some to people to make dinner at the city rescue mission downtown Jacksonville. We didn't need half of that junk. It was crazy! Now the room looks completely different. We are so blessed to have all of this stuff for him. When you have your first kid your really have nothing so you kinda start to freak out. We have had 3 amazing showers and people give us stuff. We are so so so very thankful for all of it!!
3. Our bags are packed ready to go to the birthing center when the time is right. I am going to try and labor as much as I can at home. I will have Chris here, of course, Kim Reeves my Doula, and Jen and Brittny. I don't think I will have my Mom come until I am at the center but who knows. We will call our midwife to update her on where I am and how my contractions are. We live 10-15 minutes away from then center so I am not worried about it. I know Chris could probably get us there in 5!!ha ha
4. I think I am ready for him to come. Physically YES!! I would love for him to come right now! As for work and stuff I would like him to wait until next weekend to start anything. For a couple reasons: 1) I would like to finish out work. A feeling of finishing out my duties with them. Knowing that my training was complete and I did everything I possibly could do. 2) Chris work during the week so I would like it to be on a weekend so he would have to rush home. Plus Jamie and Jim will have to finish his route for the day/week. I know it will all work out though. Zeke is going to come when he feels like it!
38 weeks!!
5. Nesting is no joke. I have been cleaning our apartment like a crazy woman. I have been craving cleaning products. There is a floor cleaner that is called Fabuloso. Its amazingly cheap and works great. Plus it smells even better. I have been mopping out floors once a day. no joke. I just need to smell that stuff! If I could drink it and know that nothing would happen to me or the baby I so would!! Well I went to the store this past Wednesday and I always go down the cleaning Isle to smell everything. I saw that Fabuloso has a multi-cleaner. I was soo excited!! I bought it and started cleaning as soon as I got home! I bought it Wednesday and today is Sunday. The bottle is half way gone!! Crazy good stuff people!
Well I think that is it for now. Just playing the waiting game. Got to go clean!!!
Bye:)
