Enjoying the view...

Man how time flies. I know it has been forever since I posted last. Lots has been going on. Kai has been growing like a weed. It is so amazing being his mother. He is so much fun and such a good baby.


We had a great Christmas. We were in Amarillo for 10 days. Everyone got to see him and spend plenty of time holding him!! We had 5 generation pictures taken with my side of the family. He has a great great grandmother who is 93 years old. It was great getting to see family and friends and spend some quality time with our nephew Miles, who is just adorable and getting so big.
Now we are just trying to figure this mommy, son thing out. I'm trying to figure out how to be a stay at home mom and get stuff done. Kai really likes to fall asleep with me holding him (I know I'm spoiling him) so I usually don't do much. But Josh is such a good hubby and daddy he understands. And I must say this is the best job I have ever had!!!

Here are some pics for your enjoyment!











My friend Beth is so awesome. She is going to take pics of Kai every month for his first year. She does a fabulous job. You should really check out her website. Here are some pics from his first photo shoot.

4 long years...

If you look at the ticker over on the right you will see that it has been exactly 4 years since josh and I started TTC. It was a long and hard 4 years but it was worth every moment and worth every tear. I am stronger, my marriage is better and my dream has come true. To those of you still on the journey I tell you to not give up. Fight the hard fight, it will be so worth it when you get to the end.

2 wks

I can't believe my boy is already two weeks old. Where does the time go? We are doing well. Still figuring each other out. He is such a good baby. Only a littly fussy at night. He sleeps great which is a blessing from God!!! It still feels a little surreal to me that this is my life now. I could just sit here and stare at him all day long. He is pretty freaking adorable!!!


Here are some pics for your enjoyment.
He was not a happy little guy on Thanksgiving. This is the best pic we could get.

Here are a few from his first bath.

And this is my absolute favorite. He is so cute in this pic. This was after his bath and he found his thumb!!

Kai's story...

He is asleep for the moment so I'm gonna try to give you some details.


They broke my water at 9 and had the pitocin started by 9:30. It didn't take long for the contractions to get strong and hard and close together. At 11:30 the nurse checked me and I was a 5-6. Shortly after this I asked for some demerol. She had to call the dr and get the ok. It felt like that took forever. I got the demerol around 12:10. About 15 minutes later I was feeling the need to push. Another nurse checked and said I was complete and they called the dr. While we were waiting for the dr the whole room would yell at me everytime I tried to push. Dr. got there and I pushed for 30 minutes and Kai entered the world at 12:59 pm.


He weighed 9lbs 6oz and was 20.5" long.


He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I can't believe that he is mine and I get to keep him. I feel like I have to pinch myself all the time to make sure this isn't a dream.


It was a long and hard road to get here, but it was so worth it. He truly is a miracle. And we are truly blessed to be his parents.

November 17th

Well it looks like Kai's birthday will be 11/17. Unless he decides to come on his own before that. On monday I will be 10 days overdue and we are gonna induce.

I really wanted to avoid an induction, but it would have to happen on thursday, but Monday works out better. My mom will be coming into town on Sunday afternoon. I am praying that he will come on his own late sunday or early monday.

I'll keep you posted!!
