Checking in...

So it has been a while since I have posted... but I have a good reason! My little guy has been taking up all of my time! Not to mention I am back at work for a few weeks decorating all of my clients beautiful homes for Christmas. I promise to post pictures soon! I want to share an amazing blog that I visit almost daily. The TomKat Studio http://tomkatstudio.blogspot.com/. they are giving away an awesome machine that will come in handy for parties and crafts. My sister is having Taylor's 1st birthday party this weekend and she just told me the other day that I need to start planning soon... especially if I want to make everything on my own (which I do)! How cool would it be if I won... or maybe one of you! Here is a like the the Silhouette http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/whatcanitdo.aspx?mid=HDStts00lkn459490833m87908muoi

Check back in soon and see if I won! I will be posting new pics of Jackson soon too! One more week of decorating and life will be back to normal! Happy blogging everyone!!!!

My 1st Photo Shoot

On July 24th we took Jackson's newborn photos. He was just 9 days old and this was actually his due date. An old friend of mine came in town from Austin to take the pictures and what a trooper she was... She is expecting her 3rd baby! I'm so grateful that she was able to come to Houston to capture these precious moments of our beautiful son. Please stop by her website to see all of the beautiful pictures she creates and maybe she can make beautiful memories for your family! http://www.purewonderphotography.com/

Here are a few of my favorites-

And this one is my favorite!!!!

He's here!

Well he has been here! Jackson is 3 weeks old today... my how the time flies by! Jackson Luke was born July 15th at 5:16 pm and weighed in at 8lbs 8.5oz and was 20.5"L. He is such a blessing and Jason and I couldn't love him more! I also found that my relationship with Jason has changed... for the better! I never thought I could love him more. Then when our son was born my love grew even stronger for him. I can't even explain it! We created this beautiful boy together and he has brought so much love into our home and our hearts! Here are a few pictures of his arrival.

Leaving as 2... coming home as 3!

I am going to work on my blogging... its hard to find the time with a newborn! Check back soon!!!

Welcome!

At the request of my sister in law, I decided to start a blog, so welcome! I will be posting a lot of little Jackson who is due to arrive this Thursday the 15th! My actual due date is the 24th of July but my platelets have been low my entire pregnancy that she doesn't want to risk them dropping to a dangerous level. I've been dilated for a few weeks now at 1 1/2cm and I am 80% effaced already! We go into the hospital Thursday morning at 5:30 to start the labor process.

My doctor thinks the baby might be around 8.5 lbs! I was in shock when she told me. I feel so small compared to many of my friends who have had babies recently but I guess I am just all belly! Jason and I are so excited and can't wait! I think I have been one the most laid back expecting mom ever! Hopefully it won't come and bite me in the butt!!! Below are a few pictures of my growing (soon to be shrinking) belly.
