Baby Nolan

May 1, 2019 by Keri 12 Comments

Nolan Louis made his appearance into this world on February 8 at 11:07 pm. He was 8 pounds .6 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. Our lives changed in that moment and we couldn’t be happier.

My due date was Sunday the 10th and the day before Nolan arrived I had a doctor’s appointment. The word induction was thrown out there for the 17th if he didn’t come on his own. For some reason that terrified me and I went home and cried for the rest of the day while doing “labor induction” exercises on my balance ball.

The next morning I woke up at 6:30am, water broke at 6:45, and we were on our way to the hospital by 7:30. Labor and delivery was fairly uneventful and by late that night we were holding our sweet baby boy.

Last year around this time we were going through the IVF process and wondering if we’d actually get to this point. It’s crazy how fast time goes.

Everyone told me it would all be worth it and they were right. I’d go through it all again for this sweet baby without even thinking twice.

It’s an interesting thing, meeting your baby that you carried around for 9 months. We stare at him a lot in disbelief that he was the tiny human that was responsible for all of those wonderful belly kicks.

We’ve since learned he’s pretty chill (still loves kicking those legs though), loves the simple things (like laying on the floor vs. any fancy baby equipment), and LOVES to eat (duh, he’s my kid).

I’m already nostalgic for his early newborn days where he’d fall asleep with his head tucked under my chin. I could just stare into his eyes all day long and my heart just bursts when he smiles at me.

I had all the intentions to share Nolan’s arrival on the blog much earlier, but I had some content planned ahead that I figured we’d get up first. Now that he will be 12 weeks this Friday (and I’m out of content!) I’m ready to “get back to work”. I use that term loosely because I’m not entirely sure how that’s going to look, but for now my goal is to share a new recipe per week.

For now I just had to pop on and share baby Nolan with you. We are all doing well and hopefully I’ll be back next week with a brand new recipe!

    Oh Keri, my heart is bursting with joy for you! Nolan Louis is absolutely precious, and your journey to meet him is so inspiring. After following your IVF story last year, seeing these photos of your perfect baby boy fills me with happy tears. That moment when you wrote ‘we stare at him in disbelief’ – what a perfect description of that magical newborn awe!

    His chill personality (with those signature kicks!) sounds delightful. I completely understand wanting to savor those chin-tucked snuggles – they disappear far too quickly. My little one also preferred the floor to fancy equipment – turns out babies are the best minimalists!

    Wishing you all the happiness as you navigate this new chapter. Don’t worry about ‘getting back to work’ – these early months are so fleeting. One recipe a week sounds like the perfect, gentle return. Congratulations again on your beautiful miracle! ๐Ÿ’™ #IVFsuccess #NewbornJoy

    They actually listen to player feedback and improve. I had a suggestion about the mobile layout, and the support team at https://777-krundi.in/ took it seriously. It feels like a platform that cares about the user experience rather than just making a quick profit. Being part of a responsive community makes the betting experience much more enjoyable and personalized for long-term users.

    For those who canโ€™t decide between slots and bingo, there is only one place to go. Foxy is the undisputed home of Slingo in Britain. Players should head to Foxy Casino to discover this exciting mash-up that is taking the UK by storm. With exclusive titles and massive prize pools, it offers the best of both worlds. It is time to mix it up and win today.

    For me, online casinos in United Kingdom are simply the best choice I could have made. I choose BassWin and I can say that I will never change my mind about this choice. It is at this casino that I have found what brings me real pleasure, and I definitely don’t intend to stop playing.
