Baby Pics!

I see you!

Baby needs a shower

The little guy came out and got a scrub down for his first picture. Some of his facial features are a little pronounced as they are a bit swollen.


He was alert right away and was looking all over the place. He was really interested by all the blue hygienic barriers in the OR.


We have decided to name him Seth Cardon White.

Labor and Delivery

Desirae started labor on Saturday Night at about 10:30. There were no warnings, her water just broke. She was good to go!


Jon was prepared, but got a little flustered when we had to go to the hospital right away instead of quietly laboring at home for a couple of hours. Yes, this really happened, his shirt is on backwards.


We checked in and they stuck Desi on an epidural right away. She labored until about 2:30 pm on Sunday when she finally got to start pushing.


Jon got to spend the night on this awesome chair/bed. It didn't really succeed at either roll. It is almost a Transformer the way it turns back into a chair.


Desirae pushed like a pro for two hours and then had a C-section after having a minor complication coupled with the fact that that baby just wasn't planning on coming out. Hurray for anesthesia!

Flipflops for Sunday School

Desirae has been suffering through the last part of her pregnancy like a champion. Recently she has had lots of swelling no longer fits into her shoes so well.

Nesting Accomplished!

Desirae and her mom made the entire nursery from scratch. It was a big project that included the crib linens and skirt, window coverings, matching basket liners, and even a matching lamp shade. Jon refinished an older dresser as well and was very impressed with himself. The excellent job from the women was already expected.

The most of the room was done in apple green and dark brown.



Notice the cute matching liners in the baskets.



The window covering rolls up and ties at the bottom. Its covering a huge window that is in the baby room.


The crib skirt was done in the stripped material to match the window.


This is the dresser that Jon worked on, and the awesome lamp shade that Denece made.


The drawers were previously brown. We refinished them in red and then antiqued them with a dark brown. They were the same dressers that Desirae's parents used when she was a baby.


You can a see a hint of the antiquing through the glare. It is the first time Jon has refinished furniture and he had a ball doing it.

Pregnancy Party

Desirae had her baby shower and lots of friends and family came. Her mom organized the event and had lots of good help. It had a bubble theme and lots of fun decorations to match. Desirae was looking as cute as ever.

To fully appreciate the full effect of the front belly we took a shot from behind.

The cups on the right were folded and pinned up like diapers.

No woman hosted social gathering is complete without something sweet dipped in chocolate

You can see the bubbles theme coming out here. The table was also covered in little tiny plastic bubbles.

Jessie, Amy, and Desirae lined up for a multi-belly photo shoot. Reportedly it was quite a crowd pleaser.

Annie drove out clear from St. George to come to the shower. It was totally fun to see her. In this shot her and Desi compare bellies. Annie had the advantage of not having hers filled to the brim with water and baby; its easier on the back.
