Our new addition:)

Baby Corver is here! and we have obviously, finally, agreed on a name! He was born at 5:07 am on the 6th at 7lbs 11oz, 23 inches... I think, I was given three different birth weights but we'll go with the one I heard first. I had a fantastic team of nurses, and my OB/GYN during labor, it was all around a great experience. I can't believe he is almost 2 weeks old! We are so excited to have him here, Corver has been such a good baby, I can't believe how fast I fell in love with him. Love at first sight is definatley more true than ever! Jason was able to skype off and on through labor and met him after he was born.
Funny story when I was a few days old my mom had set me on her bed and went to answer the phone, while she was gone I had managed to flip myself over and land on my pacifier. This topic came up on sunday after paying close attention to Corv's upper body strength and trying to guess which athlete he would be like. The following monday he was laying on his tummy on the couch, next to me. He decided that being on his tummy was not what he wanted, so he arched his back and flipped himself on his back. It was incredible. He is going to be one strong little bugger.
Jason loves hearing about Corv, they already look so much alike. I wish I had a photo of Jason as a baby, so I could do a side by side comparison on here. That will have to wait until the next post.
Jason seems to be enjoying the culture in Afghanistan. He has made some great friends over there, and was able to deploy with one of his best friends also which is nice.
We've been lucky to be able to email almost every night and skype a couple times a week.
I am so proud of my husband, he has been in the military for over 3 years now. He is such a great soldier, and supportive husband, and I know he'll be a fantastic Dad. He loves Corv so much already, and hasn't yet had the chance to meet him. I'm so thankful for his, and other armed force members. They make so many sacrifices, leaving family and friends. I haven't heard Jason complain, or talk about others in his unit complaining once. I know i'm doing an awful job of writing this, but I'd just like to pay a little tribute to those that are fighting or have fought for our country. I know I won't be able to walk past a soldier in uniform again without wanting/needing, to thank him/her.
We love you Jas, can't wait to have you home.
Here are some photos of the last couple of weeks excitement here at home, and in Afghan.
