Finally Got Around To It...

I’ve been meaning to get this story written down for a long time…

Jeff and I were visiting Tara and Jason for Thanksgiving in November of 2007. I was pregnant with Noah at the time. I was sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of Cheerios. The Hayes' boys were sitting around the table eating breakfast with me. Taylan was sitting next to me intently watching me eat.

Taylan: Does your baby eat your food?

Amber: Yes.

Taylan: Let me see…

Amber: Well, you can’t see it, because the baby’s in my belly.

Taylan: Does Uncle Jeff have a baby in his belly?

Tayman: (Standing to his feet and placing his hands on his hips.)
No! Boys don’t lay no babies!!!

Elijah William Brown

On August 2, 2010, we welcomed baby boy #2 into the world! Elijah "Eli" William Brown was born at 3:46 p.m., was 20 3/4 inches, and weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz.

We've been home a week and a half and eveyone is settling in. Noah loves his new brother and showers him with hugs and kisses!

Baby Boy #2 Update

We went to the Dr. today, one day past Baby #2's due date. She checked everything out and said that the baby's heart rate is great, that I'm almost 3 cm dialated, and that she wouldn't be surprised if I went into labor this weekend! However, if I don't, we're scheduled to be induced on Wednesday, August 4th. We're so excited and ready to meet our new little one! So the waiting continues...

Noah's 2nd Birthday!!!

I'll just go ahead and say it, I can't believe he's 2!!! We celebrated Noah's 2nd birthday by having a pool party at Uncle Jason and Aunt Tara's house. Both sets of grandparents, Aunt Renee, Uncle Jason, Aunt Tara, and our friends Mark & Glistina, David & Shiloh were able to make it, along with Noah's buddies--"T-T's" (any one of Tara's boys), "Ika" (Isaac), Ryan, Ayden, and Kodah. Yep, all little boys! It was sooooo much fun!! We could hardly get the kids out of the pool to eat or do anything else. We're so thankful to Uncle Jason and Aunt Tara for sharing their home with us! :)

Happy 2nd Birthday, Noah!

Kicked back, letting Daddy feed him the Elmo cupcake.

He had lots of help opening presents!
