Welcome to the world Preston James!

7 lbs 4 oz

We were scheduled to go to the hospital Wednesday morning for an induction, but Preston thought otherwise! I went into labor at about 10:30 Tuesday night, although I didn't really realize that I was in labor. I thought it was just a really bad back-ache. :-) We got to the hospital around midnight and Preston arrived a few hours later! I wish I could have captured the look on Dustin's face when we saw that it was a boy!

We're all doing great (if you don't count the sleep deprivation). We went back to the hospital yesterday for a check-up and Preston was already up to 7 lbs 8 1/2 oz! The nurses were quite impressed with him.

All ready to cheer for our team ... now the team just needs to give us something to cheer about!

Cousin Allie and Preston
She sure seems to like her new cousin!

Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful gifts and well wishes!

It's About That Time ...

We're checking into the hospital tomorrow morning!
I'm so excited and anxious and nervous ... I don't know the last time I felt this many emotions at once! I'll update just as soon as I can!

The Nursery is Complete!

My mom finished the letters for the baby's room and came over today to hang them up. Grandma and Grandpa Hovey came over too ... Grandma helped me and mom while Grandpa hung out and enjoyed some coffee. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how it turned out and I'm so excited! It's exactly what I envisioned for the baby! Mom also picked out one of her favorite photos from our session at McCrory Gardens and had it framed for us. Now we just need the baby ...




I'm so fortunate to have such a talented mother. I cannot thank you enough mom ... I love you!
