Happy Anniversary

I can't believe Adam and I have been married for 4 years! It has been great and I am so glad he's my husband. He is always so supportive of me and always puts others first. I just wanted to publicly say that I LOVE ADAM! I'm also putting a couple of pictures of us up... I wish I had more, but most of the ones I have of just the two of us are a older and are not saved on the computer. Oh well, enjoy the ones (especially the first one) that I did post.

Little Buddy

Samantha can't get enough of "buddy" as she likes to call Paul. Every time she holds him and he moves she keeps saying, "uh oh buddy" because she can't hold his head up completely. She also keeps asking where he is and is having a hard time understanding that he is always asleep, she wants to hold/play with him all the time. Here are some pictures we took this morning.

He's Here!

Baby Paul is finally here! It seems like I was pregnant forever, but he's here at last. He was born at 10:07 p.m. on Monday, May 12. 8 lbs 3 oz and 21" long. I can't believe he was a full pound bigger than Samantha (she was 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 1/2" long). Crazy. I know all anyone really cares about is seeing this little guy, so here you go.

Huge

Yes, I am officially the size of a house, not even a condo or reasonably sized townhome; I am a house. Just thought you all would like to know.

Hat?

Samantha wanted to help pick her outfit when she woke up from her nap today. Her new bathing suit was what she decided on; however, she absolutely refused to take off her dress. She was also a little confused about what to do with the shorts...as you can tell. Yes she did put them on her head all by herself with no coaching from me, and yes she did run around yelling "hat." She was very proud.

1 More Month!!

I just thought I would let everyone know how excited I am that I'm in the final days of this pregnancy. Since Adam and I will have to switch insurance my doctor will induce me sometime the week of the 12th (about a week before I'm due) assuming I don't go before that on my own. So I am officially within a month of having this little guy! I forgot how uncomfortable this last month gets so I'm glad I will get to go early, even if it's only slightly. I also thought I would post a picture even though it isn't my favorite...at least you can see how huge I'm getting and feel bad that I have all this extra belly to lug around. Other than that Adam only has 2 more tests and he's done with this semester. Yeah!! The end is in sight.

Family

Let me jus start off by saying we LOVE visitors. In the past couple weeks both Adam's and my parents made it out to visit. Samantha loved the attention and having new friends. I was having so much fun and was busy enough that I didn't even take any pictures. Oh well, I already have enough to scrapbook. I am SOO behind. It is my goal to get caught up with all my pictures of Samantha before the baby is born, but in order to do that I need to get in gear and get a whole bunch of pages done. I also have to decide how to divide up the pages for the future...anyone have any suggestions? My thought right now is to put them all in a family scrapbook that I'll keep, then I'll take a few of the most important pages to recreate for a scrapbook for Samantha (and eventually one for Paul). I could also do the reverse and make a scrapbook for Samantha with the majority of the pages and just keep the major ones for a family album....any thoughts, ideas...just quit now because it's going to be too much work?
