It's a boy!

Well we had our Dr appointment on 10/22. We decided to go ahead and find out what it is. I had a feeling ever since I was pregnant that the baby was a boy. Amanda and Brian found out the week before that they were having a little boy. Amanda and I were having alot of opposite issues. She is carrying low. My baby bump looks higher. She wants sweets like pumpkin Cheesecake. I can't eat sweets at all or I'll get sick. So little things started to make me think well if Amanda's is a boy then maybe our is a girl? The suspense started to bug me and I was a little jealous that they knew and I didn't. So I begged Chris to let me find out. Sure enough it was a boy. Its amazing how different pregnancy is sometimes for each of us. So the Chinese baby calendar is right again. 2 March baby boys. Unless the Drs have one of ours wrong. Only time will tell!

The little guy is perfect. According to the weight measurement he is almost 12 oz. So he is a little big for his age by about 4 days.

In the pictures, we have a close up of his feet. All ten toes present. We also have proof of the boy. We also have his first profile shot with his arm resting behind his head, his thumb is sticking out and some say he's already an Aggie displaying a Gig'em. Other believe its a hang 10 and we just can't quite see the pinkie finger.

The Baby's Room

We have started working on the baby's room. The curtains are hung and the Crib and Changer are in. Thanks to Jason for helping Chris set up the crib. The furniture turned out to be very beautiful. It's starting to look like a baby lives here.

Chris wouldn't let me paint the walls so I made him do a polka - dot art project to put on the wall. The next thing that he is going to do is create some letters to spell out the baby's name above the crib. We are getting really close to having a complete nursery.

The Braden Bunch!

Welcome to our family Blog! The Braden Bunch. I know we aren't quite a bunch yet but getting close. In march we will become three. Well Nine if you count our fuzzy family, who I'm sure will show up in the Blog quite often. We have 2 Boxers, Tyson and Riley, and 4 horses, Roany, CC, Apache and Buddy. I hope to be able to keep up as much as possible on the blog so our family and friends that don't get to see us very often get to keep up with the goings on in Hondo Texas. We'll include everything from back yard organizing, family trips to most importantly baby updates! Love you all and hope you visit often!

More then one baby bump

Well most of you know already that there is more then one baby being born in March. Our best friends Amanda and Brian are having a baby too. I'm due March 15 and she due March 22. This was not planned and was a surprise to both of us. We were so excited to be able to share this together. We are both having boys as well so that adds to the fun to be able to watch our two little bouncing baby boys grow up together. This picture was actually taken on on Oct. 10, 2008. Amanda was 16 weeks and 5 days along and I was 17 weeks and 5 days. Our goal is to have our picture almost at the half way point and then another very close to the end to compare our baby bumps!

Back Yard Project

Chris has been working so hard on his BBQ Pavilion. He really wants to get it done so we can have a Super Bowl party at the house. The roof is on and the counters are getting close. He still needs to put on the rock and call out the guy to make the counter tops. Then hope and pray that all the grills ad drawers and such fit in the holes that are cut. More to come!
