The First Month



The first month was full of lots of adjustments and getting used to having a little one to care for so I was not good about blogging. So, here are some shots of Marshall's first month. 

Meghan and Marlee came to visit the day we came home. 



He loves his thumb already at 4 days old

Big Cousins Addie and Mattie are great helpers (especially changing diapers) ha.


Zest loves his brother and is very protective of him.


Sidney is great with Marshall. She got him to sleep all by herself.


Our Gobble outfit that Mrs. Meghan made! 

What a face but the outfit is SO cute!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Pondering his first month

Marshall LOVES his daddy!

Marshall loves his Meager too

He loves his Papa too...they have lots of good talks about their future of playing together.

Happy Boy!

Marshall and Anna Kate were featured on the billboards in Decatur as a Parkway add. 


Marshall and Papaw love each other too!

Going Home

We got to bring our new little bundle of joy home on November 4th. We were so excited to be home as a family of 3 for the first time. 

Marshall was not happy about showing off his outfit Meager bought him to go home in.

First time in the carseat...it swallowed him whole.

So sweet!


Anna Kate

Our Niece Anna Kate was born on the same day as Marshall. She was born at 3:33pm and weighed 7lbs 9oz. We took Marshall down the hall to meet Anna Kate the day after they were born. They decided to nap together in Anna Kate's bed :) We hope that they along with cousin Sam who was born on October 20th are going to be great friends. The Reynolds' family multiplied quickly! We went from 10 to 13 in a matter of days.

One Week 'til Baby Marshall's Arrival...

At our 36 week appointment a couple weeks ago we had an ultrasound and found out that Marshall was 7 lbs 4 oz and breech. Because he was already a big boy the doctor had little hope that he would turn so she scheduled us for a C-section on Tuesday, November 1st! We are super excited. We have been back twice and he is still breech. We go back one more time on the 31st just to make sure he hasn't turned before she performs the surgery. We can't wait to meet our baby boy!!!

Getting ready for Baby Marshall has been a busy and exciting time. We have been overwhelmed by all the gifts we have received for him. He is going to be one spoiled baby boy. We have had showers given by Mark's family, our church young mother's group, my work, Mark's work, and our church. We are blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.

Gifts from my shower at Banks-Caddell





The yummy cake and cute decorations




All the gifts from our shower at Hartselle Church of Christ








We didn't get pictures from Mark's shower at UAH but we got 2 Pack 'N Plays and lots of other goodies from that shower. Stay tuned for more news on Baby Marshall's arrival!
