He's here!

 Welcome to the world Bennett Shepherd Scott!

Our sweet Valentine was born Tuesday, February 14th at 1:04pm
8 pounds, 9 ounces, 21 inches long

We are home now, enjoying this special time as a new family of four and praising God for our many blessings.

Come out come out whenever you are!

So it's February 13th and guess what? I'm still pregnant! Baby boy made a miraculous flip at the last minute and bought us a bit more time for him to come naturally and on his own. However, it's been a week and no such luck! It looks like we may have a Valentines Day baby after all. :-) Tomorrow we are headed in for our re-scheduled c-section, and I can't be more excited to meet my funny little Valentine.

This morning, my last as a mother of one, I took Evan out for a special mommy-son breakfast at Chic-fil-et. I'm so thankful for this unexpected and extra time I get to spend with my first little boy!

This is my last official day with "the belly." Of course, who knows my water could break before I finish this blog and we may see him even sooner!  In any case, I am filled with gratitude for this new life and can't wait to meet this new baby boy, whichever day and however way God has perfectly planned for that to be. :-)

I spy January

Here are some snapshots of our January, courtesy of the Iphone. There's just something special about finding these captured memories in your cell phone bank-these are the slices of life too precious to wait for the real camera. And for one reason or another, whether they make you laugh or give a sentimental sigh of "awww,"you're so glad you had your phone with you to freeze that moment. :-) Will I ever print these photos out? Probably not. Is the quality the best? Nope. But am I gonna blog them to ooo and aaaaa over for all time? You betcha!

Yes, that's our dog making himself comfortable in the infant carseat...
