Big Brother

I was so worried about how Austin was going to adjust to not being the center of attention in our house anymore. So far he has loved being a big brother. He loves to be my big helper. Whenever he wants to hold the baby he says, "help you, mamas, help you?" and runs to get the Boppy pillow. He is so cute when I am changing Kaleb's diaper. He runs to get his stool and comes in and holds the clean diaper for me. I realize that this is not likely to last forever. Austin may not think having a little brother is so cool when he has to start sharing his toys.

Our St. Patrick's Day Baby!

Our little boy is here. He arrived on March 17th weighing 9 pounds 2 ounces and 21 inches long. After much deliberation, we have finally decided on a name...Kaleb King (middle name has yet to be determined).

He was certainly anxious to get here. I went into the doctor for my weekly visit at 4:00 and by 5:45 we were the proud parents of another beautiful boy. Nobody was more shocked than me at how quickly he came. We are so happy and excited to have such precious and perfect addition to our family.

It's getting close!!!

We are weeks away from the arrival of our new baby. We are getting pretty excited and a little anxious. Everything has been pretty smooth sailing with this pregnancy...but I am definately ready to be done! I can't wait till I can see my feet, tie my own shoes, roll over in bed with minimal effort, but I am especially excited to run and play with Austin again. It's been a long winter for the two of us. Between the snowy cold weather and me not being very agile, we have not been very active lately. We are so ready for spring. I am excited to spend the whole summer outside with my two boys.

We tried so hard to get a good picture of Austin and me, but he refused to look at the camera. He is pretty fascinated with how large my belly has become. Whenever he sees my outie belly button he laughs and says, "mama's button funny."
