Little Raymond and I are still doing well. One of his favorite things to do while he's awake is hang out in his vibrating, classical music playing bouncy chair.
Would you take a look at those soft little cheeks? I hope all my babies are so blessed with such kissable faces. Goodness.
Monday or Tuesday last week Ramond John had his first bath. So far he definitely hates them... but what can you do?
This is one of my favorite faces he makes--with his little puckered lips. They, by the way, are also pretty kissable!
Despite hating his bath, he sure is happy once he's nice and clean. Here's a half smile for you.
Don't you wish you were here right now so you could hug and kiss and love this sweet bundle?
And here is his (almost put together) nursery. The crib and ABC wall hangings and bookshelf: So far I still am not so sure about the mobile I had planned on making. If you look close, you can see the little flock are pecking away atop the bookshelf... someday the might take flight, we'll see.
A couple in our last ward gave us an old glider. It was, however, cushion-less. Conveniently we had two big bed pillows someone had given us for our wedding that were still not being used. I made up some log cabin quit style pillow cases and love my good-as-new glider. You don't want to know how many hours I have already dozed in this chair in the middle of the night...
And lastly, here is the Christiansen family changing table. Mark, my father-in-law made this when their first was on his way. Every one of their kids has been changed atop this dresser... and if you look close, little Raymond John is awaiting his turn.
And for good measure, what would a post of pictures be without a good ole phone picture? Both mom and son love the boppy. Isn't he a cutie?
ps. A few of you have indicated you want more info about my labor... feel free to call or email me (carlyjane35@gmail.com).

Carly, you are one lucky mama. He's preciuos. Nothing is better than newborns! Enjoy every single second of it. Enjoy those late night rockings, they're gone before you know it!
He is sooooooo sweet Carly! I wish I could be there to cuddle him. There is something so calming about holding a newborn. Your nursery is so cute. Everything is so adorable! The banner, abc wall hangings, birds, and log cabin pillows. I really like the changing table. I love the ideas of drawers below instead of open shelving.
Well, this grandma thinks he is better than french toast! Which is pretty great! He is so adorablly sweet. The nursery looks great. The pillows turned out awesome, I absolutely love them. Can't wait to see everybody again. July can't come soon enough! Thanks for your thoughts with our recent tragedies. Its amazing that even through difficult times like these, I have learned some valuable life lessons.
