welcome friends!

Welcome everyone!  Jamie and I have decided to combine our efforts to bring you the most up to date photos and tidbits from our life; we figure if we both have a go at it we may actually stay somewhat up to date.  Demand for pictures of our cutie is high and free time is low right now, so we will try our best…

We are so happy for you to be here, thanks for visiting- be sure to come back soon!!

one week ago today

One week ago today my life changed; my son was born.  James Vickers Perreault Jr, or Jay as we call him, entered this world and nothing has been the same since.  Jamie and I have spent the first week of his life just drinking him in and sharing him with anyone that is willing to cuddle, hug or just listen about how perfect we think he is.  Enjoy the pictures and I will try to post again soon…

the newest Perreault

The following post was originally on a temporary site that I set up for the sole purpose of recapping Jay’s birth to friends and family; so I have moved it here as its new home.

Everyone,

1/26/2010
10:00am: Kristen sends me a text at work saying that she had a talk with our son and he agreed to come on the 27th if I agreed to start my baby-leave on the 27th
10:30pm: Kristen and I go to sleep early because she’s tired… not knowing that the little guy was listening earlier

1/27/2010
1:57am Kristen woke up and her water broke
2:50am We load up all our bags and head to the hospital
2:53am We walk into the emergency room entrance
2:58am We are upstairs settling into our labor room; we got the only labor room with a lie-flat chair/bed for me
4:00am Kristen receives an epidural and we both lie back to sleep
8:00am Kristen didn’t sleep much and I got about an hour of interrupted sleep
11:15am We took a few pictures of Kristen and me in the labor room


12:00pm Kristen is almost fully dilated
2:00pm Kristen is still almost fully dilated
3:39pm James (Jay) Vickers Perreault Jr. Arrives!
Kristen and I decided to name him after my grandpa, James Vickers, whom I am also named after.




5:30pm We are taken to our new room where we will stay for the next 2 days (approximately)
8:00pm After seeing multiple nurses (a common theme throughout the day) we invited the Grandparents to visit







11:00pm The grandparents left a while ago and I’m writing this in the hospital. I hope it finds everyone happy and healthy, just like we are
