Alyssa Jo: Aunt Lyssa...

I am attempting to play catch up on my blog and apparently nothing substantial happened between April and June. That's ok because me becoming an aunt tops it all! That's right folks, Sawyer Clark Gunter made his debut into the world on June 15, 2010 at 11:10 PM weighing in at a whopping 8 pounds 9 ounces, making me one proud happy aunt! I have been looking forward to having nieces and nephews for a long time. I have always been jealous of my friends because they have like billions of the little rascals. Sawyer was definitely worth the wait though! While Jaclyn was in labor we all waited at their apartment to meet the little guy. We were getting pretty antsy when it had been well over an hour from the time Bryson told us she was going to start pushing. Like every 5 seconds my mom would ask us if we thought everything was ok. Thankfully, everything was just fine! I guess he was just a little apprehensive to come out and meet all of us crazy faces! I don't blame him really. After what seemed like hours and hours, my mom finally got a text from Bryson saying to come meet her new grandson! Eek! How exciting! We all jumped up from the couch and rushed out the door! I don't think I will ever forget that moment because my entire family was just so excited and it didn't seem real. I am so glad baby Sawyer is here and healthy! He is so stinkin cute and I know we will all have so much fun watching him grow up. I love you Sawyer!

P.S. I am only posting a few pictures because my camera broke, (one reason I feel I have been so slackerish in the blogging department) so my parents have all the pictures of him in the hospital and what not. But I am sure he will be on my blog frequently in posts to come!

This is the very first picture we got of him on our way to the hospital. Isn't he handsome? His little eye was bruised from the forceps. He had kind of a rough landing, the poor little guy.
