Hello.

I am here. All 7 pounds 11 ounces of me, plus 19 inches. Mommy thinks i'm a big boy, especially since that's bigger than both of my sisters and i am 3 weeks early! The whole delivery thing was a breeze for mommy, but I need alot of down time (aka eating and sleeping). Everyone thinks I have mommy's nose and am super handsome...especially my big sis Ava.

WELCOME to the world Malacai James!

Almost Ready...

...to bring a new little man into the world! One week from tomorrow I'll be holding a BOY (still hard for me to switch gender mode!) in my arms. We all can't wait. For those of you who didn't know-I'm being induced at 37 weeks for a mild pregnancy condition. SO excited we get to meet him a little earlier! This past weekend our girls were with G&G in Nebraska, so we had the whole weekend to ourselves to get things done. It feels so good to have Malacai's room mostly ready. Here's a little tour...

NO more pink! I went with red and blue...

Empty frames waiting to be filled...

Clothes hung...

Diaper stocked...

Decor hung...

Sock Monkeys tamed...

I LOVE walking into his room and seeing everything in place. So ready to meet him.

AND let's not forget about these two big sisters! They are so eager to meet their baby brother.  The transition from room to room for Marin has been a cinch (so far) and Ava is counting the days until she gets to be a second mommy. SO, what have my girls been up to this summer?

VBS....SWIMMING LESSONS...PIANO LESSONS...LIBRARY TIME...TBALL...PLAYING OUTSIDE...POOL TIME...and this was just THEIR activities in the month of June. What are we doing in July? Practically nothing besides Dr. appointments and hanging out in the air conditioning.  The girls have been troopers with this pregnancy. I think they are ready for their real mommy back... Hold on one more week girls...she's coming back ;o)

Sock Monkey.

Malacai's room is going to have a 'slight' monkey theme and recently i've come across some of the cutest sock monkeys! It makes the original look so boring! SO, which one is your favorite?
