My Three Men!

We are slowly introducing PoPo to Turner. PoPo is doing WONDERFULLY with everything except his barking. His barking style has changed and it's just more protective. It's not his fault he loves Turner!:) I still make time each day to spend with PoPo. Quicken is just a little mother hen watching over me and Turner. Gotta love her. We can't fit everyone on the couch. :)

Snuggle time in the morning

I love my three bald men! LOVE LOVE this picture!!

Another week has past. It really does fly by! He smiled at me this week AND he LOVES LOVES hearing me sing. :) Of course we all knew he would! Whenever he is getting fussy I sing 'You are My Sunshine' and he just sits and stares at me. We had the photoshoot this week for his newborn pics. 5 hours later... poor Brandy! She was so patient and got incredible shots I will cherish forever!! Thank you Brandy for being patient with my little man! We celebrated Uncle Aaron's birthday at Shugie's house. It was so fun to get him out for a bit! I can't wait until we can travel around--right now I just can't do much. He had slumber parties with his Aunt Nat and Aunt Litz along with Grandmama and Shugie. He loves spending time with everyone!



He looks so good in brown. First day he wore pants! :)
Applaude the small accomplishments.


Went to Shugie's house for Aaron's birthday. He slept the whole time...party animal!

Car ride home from the party. His hat slips up on him..he does so well in the car

Photo shoot. PoPo again is pathetic. He kept trying to sneak in the pictures while Brandy was shooting...he's not my star for pictures as much as he use to :)

Visitors! Turner loves having his friends over to play in his room. Hayden, Blake, and Jenny came over to hang out for awhile! Turner loved it! Grandmama played as well.


Ray meeting the little man!
Aunt Roni holding Turner. Turner loves his Aunt Roni!!

Turner and Friends

What fun it was to greet Turner to all our wonderful friends. Our family keeps saying what wonderful friends we have and we agree! We have so many wonderful people who make us smile each day! Thank you for all the kind wishes, cards, and checking in on us!

We had a party in Turner's room starting the moment we got there (1:45 am) and then throughout the day after his arrival-11:49. He will have to get use to going and being around lots of people because mommy and daddy love hanging out with each and everyone of them!

Marcy and Me! Less than a month and we will be switchings sides!

We have too much fun even in the Dr's office! :)

Turner is here!

I have about ten minutes and had to post some pics before it flies by. I will say time flies by each day and I love it all. Turner is wonderful! He cries when he needs to be fed, changed, or burped. He loves looking around and listening to everyone talk to him. Feeding is going wonderfully! I am so blessed for that. He is pretty much on clock work with things as of right now.

We are truly grateful for such wonderful family and friends. Addison and I know how lucky we are to have such good people surrounding us. Turner is so lucky as well! Because of everyone around us, it has made this week so smooth.

I am just posting a few pics. He was born on March 30, 2010 at 11:49 am. He weighs 6 lbs and 14 oz and is 21 inches long. We are wondering where this heigth is coming from! His legs and feet are SO long!!
Lydia did the most amazing thing and offered to be in the room while Turner arrived. I am truly grateful she did this because we got pictures and video that I will cherish forever. She stayed above:)! It was amazing! Thank you Aunt Lydia! Love you!

Here are some pics. I look rough around the edges but don't care and the only one we care to look at anyways is Turner! :)

More to come. Thank you for all the prayers and blessings. Our family is amazing and so glad Turner is here to be with all of them. Love you all soo much!

first time he was handed to me after all cleaned up

Proud Daddy seeing how much he weighed.

Dr. Birch and Nurse Melisa delivered. Did an amazing job.

He loves his gloves. That is his going home outfit. This was seconds after we got home. His outfit is soo fun! The cute pics of him coming home is on my iphone. Download later!

PROUD FAMILY:










I need all pictures from all my family's camera because I know they have many great ones!

Can't wait to start posting his journey. I am now off to feed and sleep! :)

Relaxation...and some waiting!

I had the most relaxing spring break and will cherish it forever because I know I will never have one like it! It was really weird waking up today and not getting ready for work. I have my appointment today so hopefully we will get some news on when we are going to meet Turner. I got to catch up with some great friends and their babies over the break and did some cleaning/organizing around the house.

This is Ms. Berkley, my friend Katey's sweet girl. She was so sweet and wanted to cuddle!

Mr. Blake! He is getting so big! He fired me from trying to give him a bottle, Mommy Jenny had to take over. I couldn't get him comfortable around the belly.


Me and Marcy! One last preggo picture before Turner arrives! I'm so excited Campbell and Turner will be a little over a month apart! So excited!

Decorated Turner's bathroom. I did it very quickly. All I did was buy a shower curtain, hung some towel holders, and bought a towel to match. :) I wanted something boyish but not babyish. I love the print and it matches our walls! It killed a few hours yesterday.

SpRiNg BrEaK 2010! Woo hoo!

Spring break is here! It may not be the craziest one like a trip to Panama or something :), but it's a great week! I am happy to say I don't have to go back to work until August, spending some quiet days with PoPo, Quicken, and Addison, relaxing watching tv and reading, and celebrating some wonderful birthdays this week-Natalie's 21st birthday on Thursday and Cameron's 29th birthday on Sunday. I won't be able to bar hop with Nat, but I'll make it up to her this summer when someone wants to babysit Turner! :) I told Marcy if Turner is not here by Sunday (Cam's birthday) I may do a keg stand at the baseball game to get him going! I am savoring everyday I wake up because I know it won't be this calm and quiet around here and I'm also savoring every kick and gurgle from Turner because I know he will be out soon! We can't wait. Here are a few pictures from our snow-in the past few days. It was great to have two days of being stuck and us spending time together. I cooked, cleaned, and just relaxed. I am still doing that today, but Addison had to go to work :) Our driveway is still slick so I may not be able to get out again today. Happy Spring Break!

PoPo getting those last minute one-on-one time before he is stuck on the floor FOREVER. Poor guy..


PoPo was talking with Turner on how he will be the best big brother and won't hurt him.....yeah... I love it because Turner is kicking this whole time and it doesn't phase PoPo.


Addison made a mini snowman for Turner since he wasn't here for the third big snow. Three big snows we could have been sledding and wasn't able to slide!
Took this so Turner can see what was going on the week before he was due! I SOO wanted to slide down in hopes it would motivate, but I resisted!


Addison and I keep talking about how excited Turner is going to be to look outside to our world of nature. Many times throughout the week during certain times of the year 6-8 deer stand in our front yard just hanging out. We have birds and squirrel that he will love to look out the window and gaze upon.


Just chilling on the couch together for those last quiet days. Addison was sweet and played FRIENDS scene it with me. We love just hanging out on the couch together. As you can see, PoPo on the recliner enjoying his alone time. He's pathetic.
