It's just too much fun...

So, I'm really meaning to post more BUT we're just having too much fun around these parts. Tobin has from day one been a master of facial expressions and with each passing day they just get better and better!

I am a tad partial to the face that also included his eyes crossed - can't wait to share these with him when he's older:) We will be back with real news/posts at some point in the future...but this at least counts for something fun to look at, right?

What a difference a week makes...

Or really since the last time I've blogged, it's been more than a week, but who's counting?!? The days over the last week or so have definitely blurred one into the other and while I can't wait to share details of things like the labor/delivery/and the days that followed...Ty and I are busy just loving on the guy and enjoying our new family of three-ness.

BUT I did (can't believe it really) manage to get a one week photo done to start our series of monthly growth photos...and I couldn't hold out on you all with the cuteness.

We will be back with more news soon!

Much love,
JuliAnna, Ty, and Tobin

On the day you were due...

I showed up to work - against the (possibly better?) judgement of others who said I should stay home.

Not only did I show up to work, but I prepped for my Board meeting (which will be this evening at 6 pm...so I still have some time to go and I'm all set!).

I took one last phone pic to commemorate the many times I've stood in front of this office mirror to admire/gasp/stand in shock and awe??? of my growing belly. (And really, can you be done now?)

And I sat and my desk and thought how lucky am I? I have really had such an awesome pregnancy and now I'm mere hours (I'm feeling optimistic, kid - work with me!) or at most a few days away from meeting you...and I am already so blessed.

So blessed by the times you've had dance parties with me - yes, you have greater odds of liking Beyonce than any other male child I know - what can I say...Love on Top has kind of been our song? You like da'beats, mon!  

So blessed by the many times you reassured me that this pregnancy was here to stay - and oh darn it, look I'm crying as I write this...but really it's like you KNEW when you needed to move or even - make me sick - to know that yes, yes - you were still there and you were healthy and growing.

So, thanks. Thank you my Little Dear, for keeping me such good company over these last 40 weeks. I really, really, really cannot wait to meet you.

With love,
Yer' mom
