It's a Boy!

There's a new baby boy in the neighborhood!! Brayden Robert Conrad was born Tuesday May 8th after making his parents Liz and Kyle wait 1 week longer than his expected arrival ;) Little booger! What a cutie though! He was born at 6:21 am at 8lbs 7 oz! He looks a lot like his Dad, just with more hair ;) he he! His mom was such a trooper while in labor for 26.5 hours to FINALLY deliver him! Although being tired the whole family is doing VERY well and welcomed their new baby boy home on Thursday May 10th! Here are some pictures we've gotten of the little guy! Congratulations Conrad Family!! You've got a beautiful baby boy!!

Our First Anniversary

Today is our First Anniversary....I can't believe how quick it went by! Dan was so sweet, he brought me a bagel with cream cheese this morning (I've been craving them bad ;) I got my first card from him today, that took FIVE YEARS! ;) However, it was worth the wait.... I Loved IT!! Then he took me to get flowers for the house. He said he was going to buy me a vase of flowers but he wanted them to last longer than a week....so we bought flowers for all over outside! I LOVE THEM!! By the time we got home we were hungry so we went and had a small lunch and by the time we got back I was BEAT! So I laid down for 2 HOURS, ;) funny how I can sleep that long these days, while Dan planted all my flowers! He's such a GREAT HUSBAND :) For dinner we're going to the Quarry Steak House.... Where we had our wedding reception. We still can't believe it's been a year already!! Man time flies when you're having fun!! :) This time next year....we probably won't be doing all this, considering we'll have an infant! How much more exciting is that!! :)

Baby's First Picture :)

We had our first ultra sound on Tuesday! It was amazing!! We got to see the baby and hear it's heart beat! It was a great feeling to actually see what was making me feel so crappy ;) It made me feel a lot better anyway! The babies heart rate is 143bpm...which some people say is a girl...but I've still got those who say it's a boy!? So we'll be guessing for a while! We're planning to wait to find out, so it's going to be a long 7 months of guessing :) It's fun though! We couldn't believe the detail of this ultrasound! It was amazing you could see this much so early! The doctor said the baby is doing great and looks very healthy! They scheduled me for another ultra sound next month and I'll be 16 weeks by then....so I bet we'll see a lot bigger of a baby by then!! We're very excited!!
When we got the ultra sound done, the lady doing the ultra sound put all the pictures onto a cd for us, so we could easily email them. Dan was sooo excited to show everyone, he took the cd to Rite Aid and got 22 copies!! It was cute ;) He walks around telling everyone this is his baby ;) It's just soo exciting for both of us!
I'm feeling much better, but it definitely comes and goes! Just when I think it's over, I feel yucky again! So I try to be quiet saying I feel good?! You never know when it'll be back! I've never known tired till now! WOW!! I could easily fall asleep sitting up, I'm just BEAT! With working at Peckham, doing Pampered Chef and trying to finish up school along with every day life....I can't sleep ENOUGH! I never have energy...and I just can't wait for the next trimester to get some back!!
