Baby Liam // Photo Preview

I had the honor of taking pictures of baby Liam at just 4 days old! This little guy is nothing but cute. As my momma would say, he's "pure sugar."

 

Baby Camden

For the last three years, I've been blessed by the most beautiful friend. Candace and Evan are going to be some really amazing parents. Isn't she the most gorgeous pregnant lady you've ever seen?

Sneak Peak - Baby Beau

I couldn't help but give you a sneak peak. This bundle of love is too precious! Welcome to the world Beau! :)

For all you mommas out there, have any of you ever had a kid that spit up buckets? I don't mean a few wet burps either, I mean...BUCKETS. Jonathan and I stopped calling it "burping him" and we now call it "spitting him" because it's gotten so bad. It's usually around 3oz of liquid. Poor little guy hates it coming up just as much as I hate watching it. Yes, he's on Prilosec for acid reflux, and I think it helps him feel better. Unfortunately, it doesn't really help the spitting in the slightest. :) I'm okay with having a kid that is wet all of the time and constantly wearing a bib. There are bigger problems in life. He's healthy and mostly feels pretty good I think. It's not affecting his growth, so I'm okay with it. The only time it's hard to handle is when I'm tired, he feels miserable, I'm completely wet, he's completely wet, and he's screaming because he's still hungry. Now that, that is hard. I don't know why you never hear about stories like this before you have kids. I mean, I guess people don't want to be debbie downers and tell you about all of their problems if your child is going to be just fine. I get that. But I mean, NEVER had I heard about this until Truett. The doctor says he is perfectly fine as long as he's growing and not showing signs that he's in too much pain, so we are thankful for our very chill child, considering how he's probably feeling. What a trooper!

On the flip side, I'm thankful that Truett is a great sleeper. We bath, feed, and spit him around 10 or 11 and put him down, usually with his eyes wide open, and we don't hear his voice again until 6 or 7 am. I'm not sure how we got so lucky there, but that's okay with me. On days when I think, man this spitting is a lot to handle, I realize that I guess that's why God allows me to get good sleep. It really is a give and take. He's growing...and he's happy. Thank you Lord for your many many MANY blessings. We sure don't deserve them all, but you keep sending them down one after the other. If I thanked you every day of my life, I would never come close to catching up.

Sometimes I get kinda cranky after I have to give Truett a bath at 2am, and then rock him for 4 hours and he still won't go to sleep. But then I think, in a couple of years when he doesn't want to be held anymore and he says, "I can do it myself, mom." I bet I'd give my left hand to rock him for 4 hours in the middle of the night, which is why I enjoy each and every minute with Little T, regardless of what time it is.

Truett

He's here. 9 lbs. 3 oz. and 21 3/4 inches long. Our life will never be the same again...in a great way. Welcome little man. Thanks to Hillary for being there on our special day to take some pics. These aren't all of them, by any means, but you get the picture. :)

Oh my heart...

I asked God to give Jonathan and I exactly what we needed, and we got a boy. I feel like I just won the lottery. :) I really can't wait to meet him, and see what color his eyes are, and if he's good at baseball, and learn what his favorite color is.

I think we know a name, but we'll announce it soon once we're sure. :) Thanks for all the congratulations! We feel very loved. Welcome little baby boy!

Pink & Blue...or Yellow? That is the question.

So we're supposed to find out the gender of our baby on July 6th, but let me tell ya, I'm having second thoughts. Now I kind of think it'd be a sweet surprise. Maybe all the clothes we get will end up being yellow, green, purple, and white. And...maybe that's okay.

Wow. This baby is cute. I promise I'm done for a while after this, but I just HAD to post a few more pictures that I took. McKennon melts my heart. It's just that simple.

and those little features....

Obsessed

I'm obsessed with taking McKennon's picture. Why is that? I just can't stop. I'm a proud proud aunt, that's for sure. What a cutie!

Baby Shower!

My sister's baby shower was too cute. Lets start with the beautiful mom.

She's too gorgeous to be pregnant!

They are decorating in jungle and love monkeys, hence the cute theme you might notice :)

The girlies

This is her "it's too cute" face

My mom made this adorable diaper cake!

We had monkey, elephant, zebra, and giraffe cookies! They were all so precious.

Ha! And how do you love my creativity? Monkey cupcakes :)

What a wonderful day!
