Look at Katie's eyes!! =P

Baker & Katie are both enthralled with the new baby. =) Baker got to hold Caed, so now every time Katie sees him she thinks she should be able to too =)

:: Look!! Pictures :D ::

I truly am sorry that it has taken nearly 4 weeks to get pictures up...but my time is truly not my own anymore :) And that's okay :) I absolutely LOVE being Caed's Mama =) Even through the night feedings :P

Enjoy! =)

Caed Michael Thomas Brown

came into this world :)

A whopping 8lbs, 14 oz., 21 in. long.

We are still adjusting, and learning together,

but we are sooooo happy for this little miracle

that God has blessed us with. :)

Pictures are coming soon. I promise!

For now, my son is waiting for his bath and supper.

And I am happy and ready for bed =P

:: A Pinterest Recipe ::

Easy Taco Melt

These are sooo easy and so good :) We had them tonight for supper, and Hubby really liked them! I had cooked chicken in the fridge, so I used it instead of hamburger. So yummy!

Give them a try!

:: Slight Rambling ::

I hope you had a great Christmas! :) We did! It was great being in church for Jesus' birthday :) Now we are looking forward to Baby Boy coming!!!! And this Mama is soooo ready :D

I apologize for the lack of posts. Not only have things been busy with the holidays, I just haven't been feeling like blogging :/ My belly is making it hard to type on the laptop, and I haven't felt the greatest.

BUT the end is in sight :) We are 37 weeks, and according to the doctor today, progress is being made! Very good news to this swollen, in-pain, oxygen-deprived, first-time Mama :) PLUS the sonographer assured us it is for sure a boy :) Memee was a bit of a "doubting thomas" in technology :P We did play a bit of a trick on her and tell her it was a girl today, but she knows her daughter waaaay too well. =D It didn't help that Hubby was laughing hysterically in the background. :P

We finally got around to touring the other hospital today. We were very impressed with the nurse's knowledge, and she was really sweet. Now we just have to decide between "smaller" hospital and huge hospital. :D

My work in the church office is as caught up as I can have it at the moment. My bag is almost all packed, and his is all packed. The car seat is in the car. Minus cleaning the bathroom, my house is as ready as it will ever be. Little projects I had for Hubby are done. Memee and Aunt Emmy are on call. I am ready to be able to breathe again. Hubby is anxious to have the L&D over with. 

Most of all we are ready to hold our little man!

Happy 2012!!



:: Happy Birthday to My Man ::

Tomorrow is My Man's 31st B-day :) I'm doing this post today because tomorrow is packed, and I wanted to make sure to get it in :)

I am sooooo thankful that God gave him to me. To be my leader, my best friend, my confidant, the one I serve Him with, the one I laugh with, the one I cry with, the one I have fun with...for the rest of my life. He is everything God knew I needed in a Husband...and so much more. I know I have said it on here before, and I will continue to do so because it's so true. God's will in a mate is more than worth waiting for! Yes, even 10+ years!

He absolutely can't wait for Baby Boy to get here :) 

I love you, Babe!

Happy Birthday!! I look forward to celebrating many more with you!
