One month!! Time Flies..

Our sweet boy is now a month old. I'm shocked at how fast time is going by. I love him more and more every day and it makes me sad how fast time is going. He's getting bigger and bigger and we are finally starting to fit into all of his cute clothes! I LOVE putting him in a new outfit and gushing over how stinkin cute he is. He's gained 2 lbs so far- which brings us up to 8 lb 5 oz! (Thanks mimi for letting us come visit you at work to find out:) He's eating so much better now and that really puts me at ease.

Here's a couple pics of Mimi and Granna on his 1 month birthday....

I never understood the love a mommy & daddy have for their child until Kade was here. Makes me so thankful for our moms and dads. My mom has been a huge help to us- we really lucked out that she happens to be a pediatric nurse practitioner :) Another reason Kade is such a lucky guy. :) But it just makes me so happy to have my mom around to get excited with me and love on kade. Kade (and Shane & I) have so much love and suppport coming from Mimi, Maw-Maw, Granna, Paw-Paw, Gigi, Grampa, Nonnie, & Paw-Paw. Thanks so much to all of these very special people in his life.

Kade's little buddies- OH BOY!!!

Kade is one lucky little guy! The day he arrived into this world, he already had a team full of buddies that are all his age. :) Little guys to play with already!! This picture was taken at one of my showers- EVERYONE is preggo with little boys!! Crazy! (There's even one more, Ashley, not pictured because her little cutie was already born.) As a mommy, I feel so incredibly blessed to have all of these beautiful ladies to go through the pregnancy with and our journey as new mommies. I talked to these girls daily throughout my whole pregnancy, and I don't think I could have made it without them. An added bonus in the bunch was Camille- who just so happens to be a Labor and Delivery nurse at the hospital I delivered at.... She answered all my crazy questions and kept me sane!! Thank goodness for her!! And now, one by one, we are all becoming proud new moms. Just waiting on one more arrival now... We can't wait til baby Beckham gets here. :) Kade is so blessed to already have good friends. They're more than friends though. I like to think of them as our extended family- our cousins for Kade to grow up with. We're gonna have SO MUCH FUN!!

This pic taken just a few days before Camille and I pop!

Proud new mommies with our future OU graduates :)

Kade & Lawson- maybe college roomies like their mommies were???? :)

These 2.... only 7 weeks apart! They grow so fast!!! He's twice the size of Kade!!! So cute, but kinda makes me sad because I know how fast my sweet baby is gonna grow.

8-23-2009... Kade ishere!!

Kade is finally here!! At 6am on 8/23/09, my water broke!!! It wasn't a huge gush like I had feared so I wasn't positive it was the real deal... and neither was Shane. (We'd had a false alarm 3 days before:) haha) So, we headed up to the hospital and sure enough, Kade was on his way!!! So excited, we made all the phone calls and I was ready for a long day of labor. Things quickly changed, though, because as soon as they gave me the medicine to make me contract regularly, Kade's heart rate went WAY down. Things got pretty scary for us for a little while because this was just so unexpected. Dr. Hager decided that we'd have to do an emergency c-section to keep our baby safe...... So only 1 hour of labor for me, and I was wheeled into the OR and Kade was here at 12:08pm. He was 19 1/2 in. long, and 6 lb 4 oz. He is absolutely perfect and mommy and daddy are VERY VERY proud! It was by far the very best day of my life.
