Welcome to the World
Aaron Michael Hess was born on October 22. He weighted in at a whopping 8 lbs. and was 22 inches long. Brandon was only 6 lbs. and 7 oz. Aaron is so long that we had to use one receiving blanket to cover his body and another to cover his toes that kept poking out. Having said that he is still tinier than you can imagine. He loves to snuggle (my fault)- I can barely put him down, he has lots and lots of black hair, and he has the cutest little dimple on his shoulder. We are so excited to have him in our home. So far everyone is just mesmerized. Even Brandon wakes up and the first thing he wants is to hold the baby. Happy Birthday Aaron!
Brandons Present
Brandon spent the day with his Grandma Hess and they went to the ice cream shop. While there he decided he wanted to buy Baby Aaron some candy. Grandma talked him into a blanket instead. He was very proud to give his brother the gift. Now every time he needs to be changed Brandon finds the blanket to lay him on.

Pumpkin Belly
Here I am at the end of my pregnancy. I have gained 39 pounds and I feel like I am going to die. I can hardly roll off the bed at night. Fortunately there is an end in sight. Only one week left. As you can see my belly is larger than my HUGE pumpkin.
Day Farms Pumpkin Patch
We went with our friends to Day Farms to pick a pumpkin. Brandon found his own pumpkin and was sure that it was the one he wanted. We all got HUGE pumpkins so we are going to have a great time carving them.

Zoo Babies
Can you tell what we were thinking about? Look at all of the new babies at the zoo. In an effort to start my labor we decided to spend the day walking at the zoo and it almost worked. I woke up this morning with terrible contractions. I really thought I was in labor. I couldn't eat, shower, or even sit in the bath. Chris got Brandon up and dressed just in time for the contractions to slow down. I was shocked- how do they just stop!!! I never felt contractions with Brandon so this is new for me. Hopefully next time they will be real.

Cake Man
I thought this was so funny. Brandon and I made a chocolate cake and he was so excited to lick the spoon and bowl. I took off his clothes to save them and it is a good thing I did. Here he is trying to clean himself off with a clorox wipe. Notice his backwards undies too. I CANNOT get him to wear them the right way. He wants the picture on the front. He has been accident free for two days now so I guess I can't complain. Just in time for new baby!

Waiting for a Fish
Chris decided it would be fun to catch our dinner at the fish farm in North Ogden. Brandon was having a great time feeding the fish when we finally hooked one. His reaction was not only hilarious but very unexpected. Need I remind any of you that this child is fearless. Make sure to watch them in order!
