Yes, He's actually here!!!

Greyson Andrew Taylor arrived at 8:56 on Thursday, July 26th.

He weighed in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces.....and he measured 19 inches in the hospital...and 21 inches two days later at the doctor's office. (exact science that baby measuring...hmmm..curious)

He's doing GREAT! Really...it's such a blessing to have a HEALTHY baby!!! He's eating, sleeping, pooping, and making goofy baby faces like a champ! Brooks thinks he's very "darling and tender" (and then he asked me what tender meant) Reagan loves him and wants to help ALL the time! We're super blessed!

The night before..the night before

It's the night before the night before my scheduled C-Section to deliver this third and final Taylor baby. Of course I can't sleep! (when IS the last time I slept more than four hours in a row?) yes...Geoff's been snoring since like, 10! (no bitterness there) Anyways...sometimes I feel soo anxious to have this baby I could just burst!
Tomorrow's my birthday...and then babyday! What a danged exciting time. Pictures will follow....eventually, I swear.

Questions I get asked on a daily basis....

Mom.......?

Which is sharper....plastic...or the road??
Who's faster....a putt putt car....or a monster truck??
(I had to go with the mosnster truck....but then I got a "why"?)

Reagan wants to know when she can have a dog and a turle.....and also a camper!?

When's the baby going to be here?
When's grandma and grandpa going to be here?
Is that grandma on the phone?

11 More Days til Baby

So...
We've bought a tons of diapers....washed all the baby clothes....folded them, put them away....made up the crib (with the adorable quilt from Land of Nod..thanks mom!)......set out the monitor........stocked up on wipes, pacifiers, .....car seats ready......what else? Well....Brooks is worried that we haven't gotten any formula yet. (yes, I plan to breast feed). Any suggestions??? I tried to remind him about the dairy farm we visited with his kindergarten class last year :)

P.S. He made it all the way around the block today withOUT his training wheels...or Geoff holding on to him. Go Brooks!
