God is good.

Beckam Clay Morrow was born a couple of hours ago.  He weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces, and he is perfect.  He was born in Colorado, so I don't know when I'll get to meet this little angel, but for now, I'm hoping for tons of pictures to be sent my way.  

We love you, Beckam, and we are so glad you are here safe and healthy.  I can't wait to hold and kiss you.

I have to admit, this made me really ready (more so than ever) for my little guy to be here. 

Hometown bound

I am headed to Odessa tomorrow for a baby shower in my baby boy's honor.  I am really excited to see family and friends.  I get to see some friends on Saturday that I haven't seen in a really long time.  This makes me extremely excited.  I can't express how grateful I am for the hard work the hostesses have put into this and how grateful I am for these ladies taking time out of their day to attend.  

My sweet aunt (who is a hostess) has been in the hospital for the past few days, and I'm still not sure when she gets to come home.  This lady is the most creative and talented party planner I know.  She is also very prepared.  She went into the hospital on Tuesday but insisted that we still have the baby shower at her house because everything was already set up.....on Tuesday.  The shower is Saturday.  I wish I had 10 percent of her creativity and preparedness (not sure if that's a word).  I hope you feel better soon, Binky.

This just arrived

Courtesy of my brother and SIL, we officially have a diaper bag, and I LOVE it.  It is perfect for both Mommy and Daddy to carry.  I tried it on earlier to see what I looked like as a mommy.  I can't wait for it to be overflowing with bottles, clothes, diapers, toys, etc. 
Thanks, Brandon, Jalyn, Britton, and Beckam. 

Side note: Beckam was not quite ready to make his appearance yet, so it looks like he will be here next week. 

Any day now....

.....this sweet boy is going to get a brother.  I can't explain how happy Britton has made my family in the last three years, and we are so excited to have another little boy in the family.  Without going into too much detail, it is possible my SIL could have the baby at some point today or tomorrow.  If not, she is scheduled to be induced next week.

Beckam, we can't wait to meet you.  

I won't let go.

I heard this song a few days ago, and there were an infinite number of tears shed (not that surprising if you know how emotional I am).  There are so many responsibilities that come with being a mother.  Protection is very high on my list.  Even though I can't see his face or know what color his eyes are or know his personality yet, when I think about him having a tummy ache, falling down,  getting his feelings hurt, getting his heart broken, etc., it already hurts my heart.  It's crazy the emotions you can already have for your child before you even meet them. 

Happy Birthday, Baby Daddy

In 29 years, you have gone from that cotton-top cutie to a great man, husband, puppy daddy, and soon-to-be baby daddy.  You make me proud every day.  I can't believe we met when we were 21 (when we had it all figured out) and now we are entering the last year in our 20s.  I couldn't imagine my life without you, and if our son turns out to be anything like you, I will be one proud mama.

It is actually 3:19 a.m. on February 26th.  Bryan's birthday was yesterday, the 25th.  I had the busiest day ever and am just now getting around to this.....at 3:19 a.m.  I loathe waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep.  Practicing for motherhood, I guess.  Thank goodness for my blog.  There is nothing on television at 3:19 a.m.  We are at 26 weeks.  Only 14 more to go!!!

Step One

Baby Boy's room is officially painted. I wasn't allowed to paint, so Bryan took on the task all by himself.  I have to say, he did a pretty good job.  I am very happy with it.  We are getting new carpet for the three rooms on Saturday, which I am very excited about.  I am not excited about preparing the rooms for carpet to be put in. 

Thanks to his Gigi (my mom) and Bryan's mom (grandma name TBD), he has furniture, but it's still in boxes.  We wanted to wait until the room was painted and carpet was put in until Bryan takes on that task....all by himself. :) His bedding has been ordered, but it is being made, so it won't be here for a while.  I can't wait to see the put-together product.  For now, all you get is a painted wall.  Very exciting.
