Caden Wallace is here!!

The best and most memorable day of my life...December 15, 2009! At 2:33PM, our sweet little angel was born weighing 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 3/4 inches long. Words cannot describe the overwhelming love and emotions that I felt when he was placed in my arms and it is a feeling that I will never forget!

We stayed in the hospital until Thursday and are now settled in at home with our little bundle of joy. This is the best Christmas gift ever and such a blessing from God! Caden seems to like to sleep a little more during the day than he does at night, but every sleepless minute is so worth it when you catch those little smiles at 3AM. He absolutely melts my heart and I can't stop staring at him! He looks like he is getting ready to wake up and let mommy know that he is hungry so I better run, but will post more later.

Thank you so much for all of your love and support throughout the past 9 months...we look forward to you all meeting Caden and are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends. We have experienced the true meaning of Christmas this year...

New to this and have no clue what I'm doing...

So, obviously I am not sure what I am really doing on this page at this point, but wanted to go ahead and get this blog started since it seems like the popular avenue for mommies to take other than just Facebook! The countdown is about to come to an end as we check into the hospital on Monday morning at 11AM so start the induction process! I cannot believe that soon we will get to meet our little bundle of joy and gift from Heaven that we have waited for for what seems like an eternity! Words cannot express how excited I am to hold him and see what he looks like and experience the greatest gift in the world!

I am having a lot of trouble sleeping with all the aches and pains of being 9 months pregnant, but I think this is God's way of preparing me for many sleepless nights ahead so it is all worth it. We have been so blessed to have a mostly healthy pregnancy course other than my mild pre-eclampsia which I have had to have extra monitoring for each week. I haven't minded a bit since each time I hear that little galloping heartbeat I fall in love even more!

The nesting is almost complete, all the Christmas gifts are wrapped and ready, and I cannot wait until next week! We can't wait for you all to meet our sweet little boy!!
