On July 18th, our baby, Parker James Galovan was born...
We hadn't found out what we were having, so imagine our amazement when the dr. held him up and said, "It's a boy!" We were both shocked but so happy that he was finally here, happy and healthy! The girls came to visit when he was just a few hours old. It was love at first sight!
Here we are going home from the hospital... a day later. We figured I could get more rest being at home in bed than in the noisy maternity ward.
Everyone loves holding sweet Parker boy...
For the first few days, all he did was sleep. He is such a sweet baby, with big blue eyes and a huge dimple in his chin. And we think his hair is getting lighter and lighter - hopefully he'll be a blondie like his daddy.
Parker's favorite person is definitely me - and not just because I feed him. When nobody else can get him to stop crying, I just have to hold him and he's happy.
Playing with his daddy - they've already watched lots of sportscenter and baseball games, gone on walks and swam together in the pool.
Annie is so good with him and wants to help so much. She forgets to be soft sometimes but for the most part is so sweet and loves being a big sister...
After 5 long days of daddy staying home from work to help me and the kids, Grampa and Grama G. were able to come visit. They entertained the girls, held the baby long into the night and took great care of all of us.
All of our babies have loved this position on Grama.
After they left, Grama Laura came to visit for 9 days. She had made this gorgeous quilt for Parker boy. It should be in a magazine - thanks, Grama!
She cooked and cleaned and swam with the girls everyday. We love our gramas and grampas!
Gracie's favorite way to hold "the boy".
One of his first baths - he wasn't sure at first but now he likes them. He really doesn't like getting his diaper changed, though and cries every time.
Two of our favorite friends, Adrienne and Charlene, hosted baby showers for me and Parker. So many people have been so sweet - serving us and helping us and being happy for our new addition.
We feel so blessed to have this sweet boy in our home!!!
