I'm all about NOSTALGIA today!

As I type this 2 hours from now, a year ago... i started getting contractions (the real thing!) in preparation to deliver my first baby. (5-1-1. 5 minutes apart, 1 min long, for 1 hour. See, i still remember something from our birthing class, Amber!) Nixon James Wakayama wanted out, and he finally got his way February 24th, 2007 @ 12:36pm. If you haven't had a baby yet, I highly recommend it! (With an epidural, of course!) :) My labor and the delivery of NJ was the most amazing miracle I have ever experienced yet on this earth! I thank God everyday for allowing us women to grow a baby in us and deliver such new life. The bond I have with my son is unlike any other. It's so beautiful and moving of an experience! I wish I could do it all over again... and again... and again! The following pics show a little of how special this day was/is.





Here he is today.
A year later.
Our pride n' joy.
God's gift to us.

Isn't he adorable?
xoxo.
Happy Birthday, Baby Boy!

Happy Happy Birthday Nix!

We were thinking of you three all day yesterday (Sunday for us), wondering how you were celebrating. We'd love to see some photos of the festivities.

On this side of the globe...while we were in CM we found out what Baby #2 is going to be - I just couldn't help myself.

Think pink! :)
