So Blessed...

Every day I wake up to the most beautiful baby boy. He's a lot of hard work, but also the most rewarding. Sometimes it doesn't feel like the 3am feedings will ever end, but when I see his perfect blue eyes and gummy smile the next day I know its all worth it. Everyone warned us how hard this was going to be, only being married for 5 months and then having a baby. Its only been 2 weeks, but the best two weeks of my life. I can't imagine it being any different. I think having Paxson has actually enabled me to love David even more. I don't know if its just the emotional stage I'm in, but sometimes I just cry happy tears because of how blessed I feel to have David and Paxson in my life. I couldn't ask for anything more.

















David and I are also very blessed to have such great families. Grandma and Grandpa Raymer haven't missed too many days since Paxson has been born! He's also been able to meet most of his aunts and uncles. We've spent a lot of time with Uncle Jake, Aunt Melissa, and Cam since they've been closer to home. Aunt Jen and Evan are here until the end of July so we're excited to hang out with them! Paxson got to meet Uncle Brad and Aunt Christen the other day so that was nice to finally get to spend some time with them! He'll get to meet the rest of them and his Grandma and Grandpa O'Malley in just a few weeks
when we head out to North Carolina!!


Here are some pics from the past 2 weeks...

Paxson David O'Malley

On Saturday, June 7, 2008 David and I were blessed with a beautiful healthy baby boy! He weighed 7lbs and was 18 3/4 inches long. He couldn't be any more perfect! Though we know there are many sleepless nights ahead of us (just had one last night!), we are so excited to be parents. I never want to put him down! I told David to let me know if I'm being a baby hog. I just can't get enough of him! Thank you to everyone who came and saw us in the hospital! Here are some pics of our little miracle, Paxson David....













i have some more good pics but they are ginormous and take forever to upload so maybe i'll do that another day....

still prego...

well i am officially overdue. i'm thinking about charging rent! david and i are very anxious for baby o'malley to be born. we even walked up to the high school the other night and played basketball, funnel ball (which i'm pretty sure we made up), and the states game (this involved us walking from state to state on the painted map and me naming each state....david was surprised by how un-geographically smart i was). social studies never was my best subject. i declared yesterday my first day of maternity leave! sitting behind a desk for 8 hours just wasn't going to speed anything up, so we went to champaign and walked around all day! then today we cleaned like crazy people for a good 5 hours. still no signs of labor! we have a stubborn little guy. but as everyone says, he'll come when he is ready. ready or not he'll be here by wednesday. i have an appt to be induced that day if nothing happens before then. i'm praying he comes naturally though. please pray for us to remain patient, for a safe delivery and healthy baby boy!
