2 month update!

Well it has been a few weeks since I have posted something...it is just so hard to get on here now a days. Brayden is doing fantastic!! He is up to 10lbs, 7oz and 22 inches. His personality is really starting to show...he loves the outdoors we sit on the front porch a lot! His smile really lights up his face and he loves to just talk to you. His eyes are a deep shade of blue and I just loving looking into them day after day. We can tell that he is going to be a very active little boy, his little legs are always moving. He is starting to sleep thru the night without waking up for a feeding, now we just have to get him to lay in his crib. Here are few pics that we captured this month..hope you enjoy them.

July Ending...

Well July is now ending, but so many other things have been happening! Brayden is now 6 weeks old...I can't believe it!! He was up to 9lbs and 1 oz at his baby well check, he loves to eat!! He got to meet his other great grandparents on there 50th wedding anniversary last weekend and he also had a new friend born into the world this week..Miss Marian Elizabeth. Here are a few of the pictures from the past couple of weeks..hope you enjoy!!

Brayden's Newborn Photoshoot

We had the honor again to have Beth Ann come back into our home to shoot Brayden's newborn photos and she did such a wonderful job. He was a little fussy in the beginning, but after another ounce of milk he settled down. We had so much with these shots and hope to have her do them again when he is 3 months!! Here are just a few of the shots, we hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we do! :)

Fouth of July Weekend

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!! We spent our first 4th of July with Brayden at the lake house for a week and had a wonderful time! He saw his first fireworks & went on his first boat ride..but of course slept right through them. He also got his feet wet in the lake with daddy. Brayden also met one of his great grandmothers..and she couldn't get enough of him. She wanted to take him home with her! It was really great to see her spend time with him!! Brayden is her 13th great grandchild, and me being the youngest of her grandchildren it was just a wonderful moment!! Here are some photos from the week, we hope you enjoy them!! :)

Welcome William Brayden Bryant

Well I can't believe that Brayden is finally here!! Our son is the most precious little angel and we couldn't be more in love! He is a very healthy eater, sleeping during the night he is getting better at. He only cries when it comes to having his diaper changed...he has a very healthy set of lungs that we are sure of!
Bradley has been amazing!! I couldn't ask for a better husband and father! He is very involved he changes most of Brayden's diapers and doesn't mind giving me a break if I need one!

I won't go into the heavy details of Brayden's birth..only to say that I did experience the pain with out an epidural, but for only a couple of hours and then I had to give in! Dr. Keene came in and broke my water around 12pm on Tuesday and by 3pm I sure did need something. I was in active labor for almost 15 hours and pushed for 3 of those hours. He finally made his appearance at 2:41am on Wednesday,June 16th. Brad and I have so much enjoyed being parents to this wonderful and happy baby and we can't wait for what's to come!! :)

39 Weeks

Well we have made it to 39 weeks and this will be the last photo that we post as me preggers!! We had our weekly appointment on Friday and everything thing looks great, Brayden was up in size to 6lbs 11oz! She speeded up my dialation process a little and we then we discussed if he wasn't here over the weekend then we would go into the hospital on Tuesday morning for induction!! YAY!!!! We have been so ready for the day to get here and with all the other crazy things that have been going on..we consider it such a blessing!

Brad and I cannot believe that by the end of this week we will be holding our precious son!! We can't wait to meet you William Brayden!! :)

38 Weeks

Wow!! Brad and I cannot believe that Brayden will here only in 11 days! The time has really flown by these last few weeks. We had another Dr's appt on Friday and learned that I am 90% effaced and 1 cm dialated!! So we are hoping when we head back there this week that I am more....praying really hard!! Now all I have to do is the last minute things done..like finishing packing my hospital bag, the car seat is in and ready to go and I am just praying I haven't forgotten anything.

My family did have one special blessing over the holiday weekend...my new baby cousin was brought into the world on May 31st!! She was 7 weeks early, but I just figure she wanted and very Grand Entrance!! Chloe Jane was 3lbs and 13ozs and 17 inches long and is doing wonderfully!! Now all of the family is just waiting on me and Brayden!! We will be sure to let you know if Brayden decides to grace us with his presence any earlier! :)
