Newborn Photos!

We have a friend in our ward who is an amazing photographer! The day after I had Sawyer I called her and set a date for her to do his newborn photos! He was 6 days old when we took his pictures! I can not say enough great things about Amber! She had the cutest ideas for pictures and worked with Sawyer perfectly! Check her out!!! Here are just a few of our favorites! ( I can not post all of our favorites there would be WAY to many!!)










Adjusting...

What a busy busy 2 weeks we have had! We have had many visitors, and are gearing up for a few more! Chris' brother Steven and his wife Abby were here when I got out of the Hospital and were at our apt and welcomed us home.  Steven and Chris took our older boys swimming so I could relax and Abby kept me company. Then 2 days later Chris' mom Carol came for a week. We had so much fun and it was so nice to have her here to help me out!! We also got to take Carol Wedding dress shopping!!! Yes Carol is getting married to a wonderful guy who treats her great! They are getting married in October SO... Now that Sawyer is here we are in wedding mode!! She found a beautiful dress! It has been so much fun planning for her. We sure had a fun time with them all! 
We are now getting ready for 2 of my sisters coming into town to meet our new little guy! Danielle, Becca and Danielle's little boy Jaxson are coming tomorrow! So now I get to snuggle Sawyer and my newest nephew Jax! I feel so happy! I hope that Jax and Sawyer become best friends as they are only a few months apart! Then the next weekend Chris' Dad is coming into town! We don't get to see him very often because he lives in Texas so the boys are always excited to see him. Then a week or so later My older sister will be in town! We sure have a busy last couple of weeks of Summer! All the while Getting Duncan ready for 2nd grade and Beckham ready for his first year of preschool! Whew!! I am tired just looking at all of this!! 
It seems strange to me, but this time around things are so different with me more then anything else. I seem to have more anxiety, and I have really bad separation anxiety with Sawyer. I have a hard time with him not being in the same room with me. I don't know if this is normal or not. I remember having it with Duncan a little bit, but I chalked it up to him being sick at the hospital for the beginning of his little life. I didn't have it with Beckham, but now am having it with Sawyer. I am starting to adjust and get back to normal. 
Today is Pioneer day so we had a big stake breakfast and took the boys out to that and  they had all kinds of games for the boys to play! They had a blast! Here is to making through the rest of the Summer!



Sawyer has so much hair he is already rocking the fohawk!
Duncan Holding Sawyer! He loves to hold him and help me out! What am I going to do when he goes back to school??

I cant get enough of this little boy!

Sawyer Clarey Walker

Well this is my last night in the hospital and I figure I am probably not going to have as much time to document the birth story once I am home with all 3 boys!
First let me start out by saying that with both Duncan and Beckham I did not make it past week 37 so I guess I had kinda set myself up for, another early delivery, so when week 37 passed then week 38 I had gotten so down, I know it sounds crazy but eh it is what it is. So I went in for my last apt on Monday July 8 before my scheduled c-section scheduled on July 11th, now on and off I had contractions all week long. So when I went in for my apt on Monday morning things were going smooth and we finalized all the details for the C section on Thursday. I went home was finishing up some things around the house and grocery shopping. I was still contracting all day and I noticed they were coming a little more often and harder but nothing I couldn't handle. So after making dinner for the kids and putting them to bed I laid down and noticed the contractions were coming 6 min apart so I called my mom and she said well lets just make sure that I don't dilate to quick since I have C sections I cant dilate. So off to the Hospital we went and upon arrival we found that I had progressed but only a small amount however my contractions still were not slowing down so we talked to the Dr and he decided to just observe and see if they would subside. They hooked me up to an IV and about 5 min later they started coming faster and stronger, so they decided to go ahead with the Csection. About 30 min later little Sawyer Clarey Walker made his Debut on July 9th at 1:27 am Weighting in at 7 pounds 2 oz ( my biggest baby!) He is a dream already. He never cries, sleeps great and loves to snuggle! He really looks like Beckham only his hair is darker, longer, and has a bit more of it. Duncan loves him and cant get enough! Beckham is still getting used to him. We will continue to work on that! ;)
