Brooks 2011

Brooks 2011 in summary:

Here are some pictures of me pregnant before Brooks arrived

15 weeks....

At 17 weeks we went and got an ultrasound to find out if the new baby was a boy or a girl. We went to First Glimpse in Baton Rouge. We were 3 days away from Christmas so we decided to get the ultrasound tech to seal the sex reveal in an envelope and we would all open it on Christmas morning! Those of you who know me know how impatient I am so that was the three longest days EVER!!! When we opened it this is what we saw.....


22 weeks!                                                                    23 weeks and Cade is 10 months old!


25 weeks!                                                                     26 weeks!

28 weeks!                                                                             35 weeks!

Brooks was our little surprise!! I never in my wildest dreams would have thought I would have two kids this close together but what a blessing it has been. I can't imagine life any other way!!!
Brooks birth was a scheduled c-section (because I had a c-section for Cade it was the safest option) for the morning of the 24th. We arrived at 5:30 a.m. and we checked in, got the epidural and at 8:25 a.m. Brooks made his arrival into this world!! He weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces and he was 21 inches long. Enjoy the pics from this amazing day!!
