Inside Out

Today is "Inside Out Day"! Brody has now been outside my body longer than he was inside me! Nine months ago today our little boy came into this world. I can still see the moment they laid him on my stomach as clear as the day it happened. I can still see the tears in Mike's eyes and feel the soft skin of that little tiny arm as he reached out to me. I loved him so much in that very first touch...I never knew how much more I would love him just 9 months later! Brody really is a joy to be around. He always has a smile on his face and words on the tip of his tongue (I think he's going to be a talker like his mommy ;) It is the sweetest sound on earth when you hear your son call you by name and crawl towards you with such excitement at the idea of being held in your arms! Mike and I have been so blessed to spend the last 9 months getting to know all about our son...and we look forward to the many months and years to come!

Here's a picture of me the day before Brody went from Inside to Out (39 weeks 3 days pregnant):This is a picture the Sunday after he was born. He would've been 6 days old.This is Brody's very first football picture at 6 days old:Here is today's attempt at a football picture! lol. I think that Mike is going to have to help me! Brody thought it was a game. "Let's see how fast I can crawl away from where Mommy puts me on the couch before she can take a picture!" This is what most of my pictures looked like! lol Still gotta love him :)
