It's a Grady

We welcomed our little boy Grady Pearson to the world yesterday May 29, at 5:18 pm! He weighed 7 lbs, 11 oz and is 20 inches long - biggest surprise of all, he has a head of DARK hair, which we are not used to for our babies! But Mommy is thrilled - he looks a little more like me than our other two did. :-) We had a long day of waiting with an epidural that never quite worked completely, especially at the end with really strong contractions. But it was all worth it with two pushes in about five minutes and he was here! We have had such a sweet time with him already, and Skyla and Brody got to visit last night with our families, which was SUCH a precious time. I'll post more pictures later but here are a few:

Celebration for Baby

Wow, it has been awhile since I posted on here... I have to say I have become a little manic with my lists of things to do before the baby arrives - next week! Kind of crazy that I can say that now. Kevin has been amazing with crossing things off "the list" and understanding why it's important to me to have some of the little projects finished on the house before our third little one joins the family. Needless to say, blogging has not been as high on the priority list as, say, crucial tasks like cleaning out the sock drawers or reorganizing the filing system in the office. :-)

Anyways, the girls in our small group planned a little baby shower/celebration for me, which I completely didn't expect, and it was such a special time. We went out to dinner at PF Changs and they showered me with some gifts and really yummy cupcakes. It was fun to hang out and tell baby stories and just be excited together about the baby. I ripped these pictures off of my friend Jess' blog since I didn't take any of my own. :-) Thanks, ladies!
