He's here!!!

Our sweet baby boy arrived at 4:08 am this morning!
The short version (long version to come soon!): my water broke at 12:30 am, I wasn't really feeling anything more than Braxton-Hicks contractions then, but we found someone to come sleep over with Lila, left for the birth center about 2 am, and he arrived just after 4.
He's so very sweet and a very calm. We're loving every minute with him! We're super tired since we didn't really sleep last night, but we're all doing great. We'll post more about everything and more pics soon!!


P.S. In true Darren & Adria style, we haven't named him yet! He was 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 21" long  and he has a little bit of brown hair :o)

So I didn't think that you would know it was me in the comment from "Winsome Whit". Who knows how old that account is. Anyway, the little guys is so sweet and I can't stop smiling. :) Congrats, again!

He's so cute! And Lila looks like she loves being a big sister! I will call you sometime again this week, since we were both having phone issues. I hope you name him soon!
Love,
Clarissa

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...

The long version & his name

By
I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...
