Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from Baby B & Me! We had the best time with our family all around! Best moment was when my four year old nephew Roper came up to me and asked "Is that my cousin in your tummy?" Then all night kept telling me how he was going to play with Brayden and teach him everything that he knows!

My sweet Momma got me some nummy bubbly juice since I couldn't enjoy a glass of wine this year at Thanksgiving!

Family Photos

 My Beautiful Family

 My Siblings and Nephews

 My Brother, Sister In-Law and Nephews

Papa, Grandma and the Boys

Its that time of year again, Christmas card photos! And of course as being the Professional Photographer of the family having someone take our pictures Is always out of the option. Tripod all set up, 24 weeks pregnant I run back and forth racing the timer!

Kicking!

Finally at 24 weeks I felt Brayden kick! I was so worried because everyone was saying that I should be feeling him and I wasn't! My parents were sitting there for the first time I saw my tummy move and I couldn't stop giggling for at least a half hour and I think I scared the little guy he didn't kick again for hours!

Crib & Dresser

The start of my HUGE project! Brayden's Great Grammie bought him a crib and dresser! Of course I picked the weekend my Dad was out of town to put everything together!

Almost four hours later the dresser and crib were set up and filled ready for Brayden! The dresser took me and my Mom about three hours and the crib maybe half hour! Such a long project but we have so many laughs and memories from this day preparing for my sweet baby!

More Pre-Blogging

 23 Weeks! Getting bigger and bigger! Thinking this lil boy is gunna be HUGE!

My Mom & I went out and took some pics this is one of my favorites! I love baseball and I hope to be watching my lil man on this field someday!

About 21 Weeks

Pre-Blogging Days

First picture of my sweet baby! This was also the day that I found out that he was a boy! I always wanted all boys so I was so excited when I found out! Didnt take me but hours to have the name picked out! Brayden was just a name that I found in a book and Lyle is a family middle name that I have always wanted to carry on in my family.

First belly photo at 19 weeks. Without any sickness, I had no idea that I was expecting! Everyone keeps telling me that Im lucky that I didnt find out untill I was pretty much half way done!
