Hospital Pictures and Newborn Moments to Remember

These were taken at the hospital right after Trey was born and when he was just a day old.
















Wasn't Trey the most beautiful newborn you've ever seen?  I mean, seriously.  He is beautiful.  I finally got around to getting pictures from the hospital from family.  I'm so glad my sister took these pictures.  The ones we got on our camera were so blurry and let's face it, I was kind of a train wreck physically those first few days, so I wasn't concerned with getting pictures of Trey with everyone.  Thanks Car!

Also, I wanted to jot down some memories from Trey's first few weeks before I forget.  These are really simple and silly, but they're special to me.  

  • The second night we stayed in the hospital, Trey kept coughing up amniotic fluid.  He did this once while the nurse was taking his vitals so she held him up and turned him to the side so he could expel it easier.  As she did this, he turned his head to face her and gave her the biggest dirty look ever.  We all looked at each other and just busted out laughing.  CLEARLY, he did not like what she was doing to him.  I'll never forget that face.  So funny. 


  • Trey was pretty small, so his newborn clothes were huge on him for the first few weeks. (Especially his pants).  We were constantly commenting on the fact that his pants went up to his chest and that he looked like a little old man.  We were having a rather difficult evening with him, (Oh the joys of colic).... nothing we were doing seemed to soothe him and I was starting to lose it.  Dave started rocking him and said "What is it?  Do you need bigger pants?  Is that the problem?"  :)  We just laughed and laughed.  It was seriously the best thing ever.  MUCH needed comic relief.  And that's why I love Dave so much.  He was able to take an awful situation and turn it into a cherished memory.

  • Again, we were having a rough night with Trey (it's almost like EVERY night was hard),  ;) and we couldn't get him to stop crying.  For some unknown reason, Dave started singing Young by Hollywood Undead, and Trey LOVED it.  Seriously.  He would calm right down while Dave was singing and then get all upset when he stopped.  Dave had a lot of fun singing that song over and over again that night.  ;)  Whatever works, right? 

  • We would also often sing our own rendition of Justin Bieber's "baby" song, changing the chorus to "Treyby, Treyby, Treyby, OHHH..."  Can you tell we were sleep deprived!?  Anything for a laugh. :)

  • We call Trey "baby" more than anything else, but his nicknames include: Treyby baby, Trey Bae, Treybsters, Little bug, Little Foot, Snuggle Muffin, Pumpkin, Snorts, and Snorts McGee  :)
