New photos!

Just a few of the many, many pictures that I've taken. These didn't make the cut for his announcements. Speaking of announcements, they are done! Be on the look-out for yours!

Settling in...

So this is what it's like to have 3 kids?!? No really, as of now, going from 2 to 3 was ALOT easier than 1 to 2. I would have to say that it seems like Nolan has just slipped right in. Things have gone really well over the last week and it hasn't been to hard adjusting to having a newborn in the house again. Of course, this time I am not planning on going back to school and have projects and papers hanging over my head either.

I really love having a little baby around that lets me cuddle whenever I want! I wish they could stay little forever. Nolan is doing really well. He is eating great and even sleeping well at night (by well...I mean sleeping 3-4 hours at a time). Cameron and Gavin seem to be adjusting well and I am surprised at how little jealousy Cameron shows towards Nolan. ALTHOUGH...He does like to touch him and he is not gentle about it. I really have to watch him to make sure Nolan stays safe. The other day, he decided to take Nolan's blanket away while Nolan was in his swing. The problem was that Nolan was wrapped up in it and he almost pulled him out with it! Luckily, I moved fast enough.

Here are some pics of the little ones.
To all you out of towners...See what your missing??

My little monkeys

Maybe I'm partial, but I think we make beautiful children...

Blessings

I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. -Psalm 9:1-2

As I sit here, with a beautiful baby in my arms, I can't help but think about all the ways that he has brought joy into our family in just a few days. God has truly provided for us in this time and we are so thankful for his wonderful gift.

Labor was fairly easy (6:30ish am to 3:30 pm). My shortest!! In fact, when the doctor said that it wouldn't be much longer, I didn't really even believe him. Recovery has been good and it seems like getting back to real life may not be so hard! I can't believe that this 9 month journey is over and am encouraged by what the future holds for this new life.

Here are his stats:
Born @ 3:30 pm
Weight: 7 lbs 3 oz
Height: 20 inches
Full Name: drum roll please...........
NOLAN WILLIAM BROWN

Just a few minutes old...
Day 2

Normal grumpy face...like, "hello, its so bright in here!"All ready to go meet the world

Couldn't help but share this one...the hospital gives the siblings a little party to celebrate...they are not excited to see cake at all :)

Thanks for all the phone calls and visits. We feel so lucky to have so many friends and family who love us! -Jaime(& Nolan)
