Max Maylan Geddes



He has arrived via C section due to the fact that he was breech, (well actually transverse) and they tried to turn him but couldn't...on May 30 at 2:35am. A little unexpected but we sure are happy he is here! He is sooo precious and we can't get enough of him! He weighed 6lbs. 6oz. and was 20 inches long. Here are a few pics, there are more to come!
Daddy and Max
Our amazing Doctor, Margit
Me and Max
Grandma May and Max. This picture is like a mini Todd!
One of my favorite pictures... this is what he looks like with his dark blue eyes open!
More pictures to come...we love you baby Max!!

Getting ready for our Baby Boy!!

So, once again, it has taken me forever to blog again! I am 37 weeks pregnant and getting ready to pop! (well, at least it feels that way!) I have had a really busy past month. In the middle of April my mom and sisters put on a baby shower for me in Jackson. It was sooooo cute as you will see from the pictures. They spoiled me and my new little guy to death and as you can see below he has enough clothes now to last him a life time! This first picture is of everything, so cute!
They even had a candy bar with all kinds of different candies. They also had our baby pictures set out which was really fun!
...and the diaper cake. My favorite! It even had a husky on the top!
The cupcakes were amazing, well except the black frosting ones! But hey, they were black and white and cute as could be!
Thanks so much for doing this shower for me! It was so fun to get to see everyone I grew up with and have them be a part of this fun new adventure in my life! It turned out fabulous!

Next, I've just been so busy with work because I'm trying to get my hair clients all in before June! Todd has been very busy as well as he is working on his lesson plans so that he can start instructing next month. He has about 70 lesson plans to do so that is what he does every day for all hours of the day and night. I'm so excited that Whirlibirds (the school that he has been at learning to fly helicopters for the last year) has hired Todd, we feel sooo blessed! And he will start working probably right after the baby gets here! I'm so proud of you sweetie!

My mom also came down for a quick visit to get her hair done and hang out with Todd and I for the last time before we have another addition to our family! It was fun to have her here. We did a little last minute shopping to get the baby stuff all ready! And I think we did it. Finally, I feel somewhat organized and ready (well, I'm not so sure about the "ready" part). Anyway, right now we are waiting to see if our little guy is going to flip around before delivery since he is sitting breach right now. We really hope he turns otherwise I will be delivering on the 3rd of June(Just 2 weeks!!!) and it may come to a C section if the doctors don't get him to turn. So we are just hoping and praying that he just turns on his own!

So during all this, I got a call to do a little photo shoot for a store called "Little Cherry Blossoms". It is a little kids store and so cute! They wanted a pregnant lady for their advertisement that they will have on the front of the Hometown Values Magazine (it's a magazine that goes out to everyone in the Ogden area). I believe it comes out in July. So anyway, here are some pics from the shoot. The very first one is the one the owner of the store wanted on the cover. It was a lot of fun, I just showed up down there and they dressed me, gave me props, and took some fun pics! It is still weird to me how big I look and can't wait to get back to normal!! I'm just over 35 weeks in these pictures.

This one was one of my favorites... it was quite interesting shooting in the middle of a street with cars passing by both directions!







Well, I think I covered most everything. I'm still able to go hiking with my puppies and husband which is fun, but wow, it's getting harder every time! Next post will hopefully have pictures of my new little guy on here! We are looking forward to a very tough, but very exciting new chapter in our lives!

Baby Belly Pictures!!

So my sister's old roommate, Jenny Rossi, moved up here from Texas and she does great photography! So we were so excited to have her do some maternity pic's for us...well I guess I should say "I" was excited. Todd is never too thrilled to be taking pictures, however, he sure makes the picture look cute!
I was glad I was able to get some taken just to remember the experience of this all! However, it isn't so fun to be getting pictures taken of yourself when you feel enormous!!...but she did an awesome job and they turned out really cute. I was 33 weeks and growing in these pictures :) Thanks sooooo much Rossi!!
Anyway, if you want to check out the work she's done, go to jenniferrossiphotography.blogspot.com. She lives in Salt Lake City but is very willing to travel up here to the Ogden area.
