Katelyn Brooke

The moment we've all been waiting for finally arrived. Katelyn Brooke Marley made her debut on November 15 at 12:55 p.m. She was on the larger side, Weighing in at 8 pounds and 14 ounces. My labor began Friday morning and continued to progress throughout the day. I called J.C. and he came home from work early to drive me to the hospital. Contractions strengthen through the night, but by morning still no baby. Around noon, Dr. Benson decided that Katelyn would need to be delivered by cesarean. 45 minutes later, we had a beautiful baby girl. It was the greatest birthday gift anyone could ask for.

Grandma's New Album


Photo album
Originally uploaded by mmp52



While Baby M and I were visiting Grandma yesterday she received a special package in the mail. A photo album that holds 600 photos!!! My guess is that she will have the album full by the baby's 2nd birthday. The album is huge and would hurt it you dropped it on your foot.

3 days to go

Wow the last few weeks have really flown by. I meant to post these pictures before now, but I have been having Internet troubles. My due date is fast approaching. I get more excited everyday, ready to meet this little person. I'm still feeling pretty good. I have little aches and pains here and there but nothing consistent. Baby M is still pretty active. I try to tell him/her that he/she would have more room if it would come out. But I guess we'll meet him or her when its ready.

J.C. had a little accident at work a couple of weeks ago. He basically got his finger pulled into the drill he was using at work. We spent a day at the hospital getting the nail reattached and a pin put in the end. It made for a long day. He is doing much better and will get the stitches out next week. The pin will come out in 12 weeks.

Halloween 2008




I had a great time creating my Halloween costume this year. I couldn't pass up my first opportunity to make a costume for Baby M too. We won $2.00 at the Lion Club's costume contest. It was a great night.

Our annual Halloween party was a great hit as well. This year Franki and Fowler got to join in on the fun. Hope everyone had a great time!!
