7 pounds 11 ounces


20 1/2 inches


We are so blessed by this gift from God!


Love,

Andrew & Whitney Mayer



Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory!  

~Ephesians 3:20~


soon after he was born

We chose his name because we like the names, Andrew is his daddy's 

first name, and we loved the meaning of the names together. Evan Andrew

means: "God is gracious and gives us strength".

SOOOO far behind in blogging....

Ok so I am sooo far behind....the past 10 1/2 weeks have been so busy, wonderful, exciting, challenging, new, and full of good memories! Now to start catching up. Thanks for bearing with me! :)

Had a bunch of braxton hix starting around 9:33 this morning before church and had them one right after another at church! had them through lunch and then I took a 20 minute nap and they died down quite a bit. Feeling crampy like before/the first couple days of a period. Hoping this is the early stages of labor! Trying not to get my hopes up too much, but I really hope this is it! :) Andy seems to be pretty sure this is it though. :)

What I miss: sleeping through the night/sleeping lying down. I also miss things like being able to cuddle up close to Andy or giving him a closer hug...baby bump gets in the way ;)
