..And Baby Makes Three

Liam Aaron finally made his appearance after 17 long hours of labor.  Liam Aaron arrived on April 7, 2013 at 1:45 am in the morning via C-Section.  He was 8 lbs. 11 oz. and 21.5 inches long.  Craig and I waited very patiently for his arrival and we were both thrilled that he was such a healthy little man and we fell in love the moment we set eyes on him.

We have been home a week now and we couldn't be happier with our new bundle of joy.  We've definitely had to adjust to a whole NEW lifestyle but it's totally worth it.  Our life has changed drastically and we must say we are loving it.

Liam has already been to his first doctors appointment and he was GREAT!  Liam also has already been on his first road trip to Lake Gaston to see family--we must say it was interesting getting everything ready to go somewhere with a new baby but it was so nice to get away.

Ready to hit the roaddd.

Needless to say we are all doing great and enjoying our time as a new family of three.  Craig is back to work and I am adjusting to doing the mommy thing all by myself--so far so good!  We look forward to Craig getting off work each and every day and well...rest whenever we can!!!!  

Thanks for all the congrats and wonderful things you all have done for us! We cannot thank you enough for everything!!! Stay tuned for more updates on our growing little one!

Hello April!

Goodbye March...Hello April!  I cannot believe that we are already into April..with no baby!  A lot has happened in the past week and needless to say- Craig and I are still waiting for our little Liam to arrive! (I was not prepared to be large and in charge after 40 weeks....but we are still chugging along!)

I'll start with the BABY UPDATE:  We had a doctors appointment yesterday for 40 1/2 weeks and well..I have progressed but not enough to have put me into labor yet.  The doctor decided to go ahead and schedule an induction for Saturday morning--if he does not come before then.  Liam could still come on his own in the next few days but if not, Liam will be here by Saturday afternoon/evening!  We would love for him to come on his own but are also excited we have an end in sight and know we'll be meeting our little one in just a matter of days!  We are getting so excited!

We made it....and then some!

I made it to the end of time teaching this school year!  It was touch and go for a little while; wondering if I would make it to the end or not but Liam decided to hold on until I made it through the end of the nine weeks.  Friday was my last day at Green Run Elementary for the school year and Thursday was my last day with my kinderbabies;  it was a bittersweet feeling.  I sure will miss them but I know they are in good hands! Now it's time to get ready for little Liam and get ready to spend the next few months enjoying my little one!

Easter was wonderful and very laid back.  We were not sure whether or not we'd be in the hospital having a baby so we did very little planning for Easter this year.  The Easter Bunny did make a visit to our house and left Liam a basket but--Liam was not here to enjoy it!   I guess he'll enjoy all his goodies once he arrives!  We went to church and had lunch with my family.  After our delicious lunch made by my mom we came home, relaxed, and watched a movie on the couch!

The Easter Bunny Came!

Our Family!

And last but not least...we can finally share that my sister is having baby number two!  We are super excited for the arrival of another niece/nephew in October 2013!  Liam is going to have two amazing cousins and one very close in age!  It's going to be awesome watching them grow up together and become such good friends. Sooo...CONGRATS to Heather and Kyle!  We can't wait to find out if Baby Roemmich will be a boy or a girl! 

Big Belly and Little Belly!

Needless to say we have a VERY exciting 2013 and I cannot wait to share Liam with you all when he arrives in just a few days!

Happy April!
