Jake Thatcher

Photos taken by Sarah Pace for us... except a few at the bottom....

This wasn't one of Sarah's... it's just a cute one!

Here's a little note to Sarah for doing the pictures!!!

Look at my two cute boys! They were both very tired after a night of candy and trick-or-treaters!

This is Jake and his cousin Nash. They are 5 weeks apart and going to be the best of friends!

Me and my little Giraffe! He is sooo Cute!

Jake was so tired and really not into Halloween at all but we sure enjoyed dressing him up! Next year will be better!

Jake was blessed October 11 and I am just now getting to the pictures! It was an awesome day for us. We have been anxiously waiting for this day for awhile. We had a lot of family come and support us and Steven gave a beautiful blessing! He looked very handsome in hi outfit!

This is so neat to see all the men that will be and are great examples to Jake! I am so proud that they all hold the priesthood, especially my sweet husband! He is such an amazing father and I am so glad that he chose me! I am so blessed!

Fun @ the Palmers

This is one of the best videos we have of Jake! Kami will stick out her tongue at him and he will copy her. It is really cute.

We love this kid!

Here are a few more pictures of Jake!

Leslie was asked to watch Jake for 10 minutes. He started to make noises so she freaked out and tried to pick him up. She was afraid to break him! So after about 2 minutes of trying, she managed to flop him onto her chest in this position. She was so worried that she just sat like this until help got there! She is so funny! And she'll eventually make a GREAT mom!

He fell asleep like this!

The priests in our ward came over for mutual and they love Jake!

This video is of our dog, Max. He is such a wuss! Every time we start the lawn mower or weed-eater, he runs for his life! Even when he first sees them, he hides. It makes us laugh every time so we thought we'd share!

Jake is so cute when he sleeps. He makes these noises when he breathes. He does it sometimes when he is just tire too! We love this little guy!!!

First walk to the post office!

Jake's sunday outfit! He looked so handsome!

My sister-in-law Tonya got him to smile for the first time! What the heck he hasn't done that for me yet!!!!!! : )

Jake Thatcher Palmer

Jake is here!! We are so excited to have this guy home with us! What a miracle it is to have theses sweet babies come to earth the way they do! He was born August 17 at 12:17 pm. After 19 hours of labor and 1 1/2 hours of pushing he finally came and he was perfect! He was sunny side up but because of great nurses and a fabulous doctor they were able to get him to come correctly with no problems. (not the best picture of me but who really looks good after delivery)

Grandpa Reynolds AKA: Big Daddy D!

Jake weighed 8lbs 9oz and was 21 3/4 inches long! He is going to be very tall like his dad! He has very long feet and big hands which Steven is so excited for because he just knows he is going to be a great basketball player!!! He is just adorable and he is so good too. We can't really tell who he looks like but at first I thought he looked just like Steven but he keeps changing so much that I just don't know anymore. We think that he looks like his big sister in his lips and chin which is fun to see.

This has been such a neat experience for Steven and I. We are so grateful for the Plan that our Heavenly Father has for us. We are so grateful that we are an eternal family!! We are blessed to have a sweet daughter that we get to raise in the next life and then to have a handsome son we get to raise here in this life!!!! I feel such overwhelming gratitude towards my Heavenly Father for trusting us with his children.

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!!!

Tomorrow is the day this little guy will get here! I am scheduled to be induced Sunday at 3:00 pm. We are very excited and nervous but we are sure everything will be great! We will post pictures as soon as we can.

Steven and I are getting very anxious and excited for our little guy to get here! We have about 2 1/2 weeks left and finally we got our crib. Now he can come and we will be ready. Steven was so cute putting it together and it really was so fun to actually be putting a crib together for our baby!
I am feeling pretty good. I am dilated to a 1 1/2 and I am 50% effaced so we are making some progress!! I have another appointment Monday and hopefully I will be even farther along.

This isn't the best picture of the crib but it will do for now. We still aren't sure on a name but hopefully when we see him we will know what his name will be!
