He is here!!!!

Well, the baby is here he weighed 8 lbs and 1 oz and is 20 inches long. A little smaller than Brandon but also two weeks earlier. We still haven't picked a name. We are leaning towards Edwin James, or Edwin McCormick. We still aren't sure. Brandon likes to tickle him so far. The baby has tons of hair. I think we are going to have to give him a cut when we get home. He is a good baby, rarely cries and so far has slept a lot. He looks a lot like Brandon except for the hair color. Hope everyone had a great turkey day.

Okay so I am a little more ready today than I was a couple of days ago, we got all the baby stuff out and put up or put away in cupboards. Brandon has been such a big help. He thinks he needs to try everything before we let the new baby use it. We have gone through pacifiers, bottles, car seats, blankets, clothes and whatever else he thinks he needs to do. Also here is the final baby bump photo. We are all ready for the hospital. We are pre-registered, have all the blood work done, and the bags are mostly packed. I still have a few things that need to be put in it, but they are going to have to wait until right before we leave. Tawni had her baby yesterday. Kambree Michelle. She is such a doll. Congrats to her. Hope everyone is doing well.

Only a few days and still not ready

Well the new baby should be here by 11:00 on Friday morning. As long as all goes well. I have been trying to get things ready for him and Brandon. My cousin Tawni, my cousin Josh's wife and I are all due on the same day. How ironic huh? But Tawni is going in on Tuesday, and Josh's wife and I will be going in on Friday. Along with getting ready for Thanksgiving and family things have been a little hectic this week. I am going to teach nursery tomorrow and then probably have to retire from my job for a while, even though this is not an official calling, Brandon will not go by himself. My friend Janessa made some really cute Thank you cards for her baby so I copied her and made some. As you can see I am not as talented as she is but if you would like the pattern her blog is the one at the right called "Delightfully Domestic." Anyways Brandon has been keeping busy with all the water in the yard. I just put in a full load of his clothes that were covered in mud and still soaked. I am not sure how a little boy can go through so many clothes but I guess boys will be boys. He loves his rain boots and wears them every chance he gets, even if he is only going to play in the bathtub.
Just wanted to keep everyone updated and tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving before I forget. Take care and be safe.

This and That

Well it seems like time has flown up until this point. I have 20 days until the new baby is here. Excited and still feeling like there is so much to do. But I am not really sure where to start. We still haven't thought of the perfect name, I hope it comes when we see the little guy. Dwight has been hunting a lot this month trying to fill his tags, and Brandon has gone with him a couple of times. He just can't get enough of his dad. I go for the ride, but man it gets bumpy sometimes. Brandon went to the doctor today. He had a rough night last night. The doc said that he has a severe ear infection and he had to get a shot. He wasn't very happy. He also has a high pain tolerance because we really had no idea he had the infection.
It snowed two nights ago and today it has been misty and cold. I think winter is here to stay. We have been busy with all of the fall work as well. The cows are coming home today, can't say that I am super psyched. It means more chores. Oh well, it keeps everyone busy and happy?
We went up the other night and got our Christmas tree. The snow was started to get kind of deep where we wanted to get it so, it is all ready for us to put into the house. Well that's about all the excitement here.
