Bald Baby

We have reached one of the baby milestones....first haircut.

Baby Beck was born with hair, however, a few weeks ago he started going bald. Not like all over bald....but old man bald.....just lost his hair on top. Due to him looking a bit like a 70 yr old balding man we decided to cut it off so that it can all grow back the same length.



Josh buzzed it with his mini clippers & Beckett was a very good boy-and as always he is the cutest ever.

1 Month Old!

Baby B is 1 month old today! Nutso!

He is getting so big, I can't believe how much he has changed since he was born. Beckett is definitely an eater, he loves his food & has to have it as soon as he is hungry! He is getting big and starting to get chubbier cheeks :) He is also focusing a lot more with his eyes. He loves staring out the window & at our faces. I can't wait until he starts to smile...that'll be awesome. He smiles now, but he doesn't know he is smiling....so it doesn't count.

Here he is:

Newborn Pictures

We finally got our newborn pictures back today. They are a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e. Beckett is the best at taking pictures :)

New Job!

I am super excited to announce that I got offered a teaching job! I will be the new health teacher at Hillcrest Junior High in Murray.

I couldn't be happier to start my career & everything has been working out perfectly for us. This particular teaching job was part time and with Beckett being so little I really wanted part time, which is hard to find in the teaching world. To my luck I got an interview & then got offered the job. I'll start this August for the 2011-12 school year. Until then i'll be enjoying my mommy-Beckett time at home :)

Beckett so far...

Beckett is just over 3 weeks old now. I can't believe it, he really has changed so much. His looks change daily and he is growing so fast. At his two week appointment he had already almost put on a pound (8 lbs 11 oz)...he loves eating....just like his mom & dad :) He is also very strong- when we lay him on his tummy he has been able to move his head from one side to the other since he was just over a week old.

This weekend we went to Orangeville & it was Beckett's first time. We enjoyed our time relaxing, visiting the cemetary, and having a family BBQ.

Baby Beckett is here!

Beckett Todd Sharp

Born: May 6th, 2011

Weight: 7 lbs 12 oz

Height: 19 1/2"

Our baby is finally here! I was quite nervous/anxious for the labor experience before hand but it went much better than expected. I woke up around 12:30 a.m. on the 6th with some pain....woke Josh up & we started timing the contractions. We decided they were real contractions because they weren't letting up and getting closer together. We got to the hospital around 5 a.m. & by about 6 a.m. they had admitted me....and got the epidural. The contractions had gotten super bad by the time we were at the hospital so I was more than happy for the epidural to kick in. I'll say it now & i'll say it again-epidurals were sent from heaven.

So here I am, getting an epidural & the nurse gives me a rough estimate that I should be ready to start pushing around noon. Nope, she came in at 8:30, checked me, said I was ready & that they'd call the doctor in. It was then I started getting freaked out-it was happening! I pushed for 15 minutes & baby Beckett was born at 9:02 a.m.! It was surreal and awesome to see him for the first time. Labor was not what I expected...mostly because it happened so quickly & because that epidural was so fantastic :)

We all came home from the hospital on Sunday, the 8th. Ever since then its been a definite learning experience. You don't know what to expect being first time parents so everyday is a new day. We're loving it & trying to get enough sleep to survive the days!

The Latest

Life has been crazy lately! We moved a few weeks ago and have been getting settled ever since. We ended up moving to Sandy so that we can be closer to Josh's dental school. I really like the place so far....feels a lot more like home! We also were able to get the nursery set up, which is great. Here are a few pics of the new place...

Other than that....well i'm just 9 months pregs, no biggie :) Here is my final pregnancy pic (just over 36 weeks):

Lastly, i've had a few baby showers and they were fabulous! I got lots of great stuff for baby Beckett. My fab friends threw me one last month (blogged about that earlier), the Sharp family threw me one last week and then my side threw me one today. No pictures were taken at the Sharp shower but I did get a few from the other. It's crazy to think that the next time i'll be blogging is probably going to be after the baby is born. Nuts!!
