My Favorites (so far)

This child is photographed everyday. I mean I just can't get enough. You wouldn't either with a face like this.

Cousin Time

These are some of my favorite pics.



I can only imagine the trouble that these boys are girls are going to get into as Aubrey grows, and is the youngest cousin to be blamed....rightfully so!



Some of my favorite quotes from the cousins meeting Aubrey are:
"What can he do?"
"Can he walk?"
"Does he wake up?"
"I am going to go home practice holding my Rapunzel doll"

He's here!!!! I know it has taken me some time to get to this blog, and I am currently writing it one handed. We are so overwhelmed with our new jobs as parents that sometimes looking at him is the most important thing that I can do at any one second and writing this blog..... well.....just doesn't rank anymore. It is nothing short of amazing that our little boy is here.




Some of you were in on trying to guess his name and we are so excited that we can use it now. Aubrey is named after two of his great grandfather's. Both of these men were very influential in our lives, and both known as PaPa to each of us. Both are our dad's dad, and when we found out that it was a boy there was no other name that fit him better. The moment that the ultrasound showed that it was a boy he has been Aubrey to us.

Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2033

1-1-11

I think that today's date is very thought provoking, so hang in there with me. Number one initiates a couple of thoughts. But the first being Our Heavenly Father. Second being this child I carry. Third being Davy and I as a couple.

Today starts a new year one filled with promise and hope. I have to say that last year also started with promise and hope...and probably every other year when we sit back and think about it. At the beginning of 2010 we knew that the year would be an amazing one for us because we were going to get to try to have a baby. Just being able to try for a child was a miracle, something that we had accepted as a non-possibility was now coming true. And when we got pregnant so quickly, what a blessing that was. We were beyond the moon excited, but that excitement soon turned to extreme heartache when I miscarried. Reliving that time makes me take pause and see what an amazing, loving, comforting, all knowing, and powerful God that we have. During that time I could feel it, but also was so comforted by that. The relationship that grew out of that is something that I am thankful for 2010 about. It prepared me, and continues to prepare me for what is ahead. I know that it makes me even more thankful for this child that will be here in a matter of days. No matter what is ahead for him my love is only a fraction of the love that our God has for each and everyone of us. This child is His child, and the comfort that gives me makes the ups and downs of this pregnancy seem like nothing. Lastly the double ones (11) makes me think of my marriage. Two singular beings that together finish off the equation made with the first two ones. Not only has my relationship grown with God, but has overwhelmed me with my husband. This year could have torn us apart but with God at the front, and the blessing of this child it has really solidified us. I can't wait to see what is ahead, and no matter what it may be my ones are going to be the things that get me through. Much love and hope to you all. Happy New Year!!!

Boy O Boy- 36 weeks

So I know I am late getting this up, but it was more about getting the courage to post this one because this baby is GROWING and taking prisoners!!!! If there was a question about if I am pregnant, well now there isn't. I am bigger everyday, but still so in love with it all. I have gone from anxious to ready pretty quickly. We can't wait to meet this little guy, and introduce him to all of you. But for now this is his portrait, via me.



Our bags are packed, the nursery is done. Now the waiting begins. I will work right up until Christmas, and then be off until March. I am excited about having some time off to spend with family before baby boy gets here, but I can't wait to reveal his name, and his face to all of you.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we were able to break in my sister's new home, and celebrate in her beautiful kitchen with lots of family favorites, and to much of them. Can you tell that I ate to much, and can't breath??



I think that my mom is laughing at me, because she knows that it will only get worse before it gets better. This little guy reminds me when I eat to much, because then I can't breath. Only have I had one day where he dropped a little lower and reminded me that I have to go the bathroom every 5 minutes. So either way the inconveniences are worth it. I am thankful for them, because without this baby I wouldn't have those discomforts, and they make me thankful for him! I think that it is easy to be thankful for the "easy" things in life, and that is why we aren't thankful day after day, or even forget to be thankful. We are all guilty of it, but this past week I spent my quiet time searching through the scripture for those passages of thanks. They are all through out the bible being thankful for the easy things and for the hard, but it is being thankful for the hard when Satan can whisper in your ear. I know you don't want to be thankful for the loss of a loved one, or a difficult situation, but you can be thankful that the Lord is by your side to help you through the situation, and will help you fight away Satan. You don't have to be thankful that you are diagnosed with Cancer, but you can be thankful that your strength to fight it comes from the Lord. It is hard in the midst of the struggle, but when you come out on the other side you can really look back and see the path that God had laid out, and how it all came together.

I am thankful that my father in law is so good with his hands, and turned the beautiful wood into a masterpiece that is now our nursery. Pictures to come.

Thankful that our family is growing.
