2 Weeks Old

We went to Fotofly in Draper to get some newborn pictures of Mabel and I am really happy with how they turned out. Still can't believe this is our LITTLE baby!

The first pose they wanted to do was on this white couch with her laying on her stomach (new precious 2 week old face right where who knows how many butts have sat?) and I couldn't help but ask about the germs...HELLO, new mom here! The photographer said they wipe the couch down to sanitize it but she was probably just saying that.

Bowl of Baby

My two favorites:

Green Sling

Daddy's Arm

You can't beat $79 and the copyright release to all the prints.
Plus we had them print several 8x10s for only $3 each!

a few outtakes:

too squashed

baby got back?

Sprained Ankle

Yesterday after scoring an amazing goal (it was even with his left foot!) and then assisting in making the second goal my soccer star sprained his right ankle. When I saw him go down on the field my stomach turned in a knot, and then when he didn't get right up I felt ill. He told me after that he heard a popping sound and just felt searing pain in his ankle. Two of his teammates helped him off the field since he couldn't walk or put any weight on it. We sat him in a chair and peeled off his socks and shin guards to have a look. It was already really swollen! I took him home and we got him all set up with the R.I.C.E. system.
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate
It's only been just over 24 hrs but the swelling has already started to go down, he can put weight on it, and it is looking much better. We are going to monitor it the next few days to get a feel for whether we need to go get xrays or not. Nate thinks it's just a bad sprain and nothing is broken. I hope so because baby could come any day now and I need my birth partner to be able to fully assist me!
