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

All the emotions

By
Moving of course brings up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. As I declutter and go through all of our stuff I get distracted with the memories that items bring up. I've had moments of sadness and feeling like time flies far too quickly. But of all the feelings, the most overwhelming one has been joyful gratitude. All my reflections on these years here in Austin, and most especially this last year have made me realize how far I've come in my life. This year I have achieved just about all I could ever hope for in life. I've come to love life with all it's ups and downs. I've learned how to roll with the punches and keep my chin up when things get tough. I've truly learned to put myself at the top of the priority list. I have more of myself to give than ever before. I've learned how to give and receive friendship. I've come to love and accept myself as I am. I know I am stronger than ever (and not just my muscles, but truly I think I am physically at my...

Going private, send your e-mail to keep reading!!

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...
