We are home and doing well!

Sadie is one week old today and we are doing well. She is a sweetie pie and we love having "sister" around. Enjoy the pictures!

Please notice that Abram is holding Sadie's hand. I think this is the SWEETEST thing in the world!

This is what Sadie came home from the hospital in. She looked too cute!

Abram meets Sadie at the hospital. His interest lasted about 2 minutes and then he wanted to run in the halls.

She's Here!

SADIE MARGARET SCARBROUGH

Born at 1:50pm on Monday, 6/8/09

7 lbs 12 oz and 20 1/2 in

All are doing well and we should be headed home tomorrow. We'll have more pictures posted later. Thank you for your prayers and love!

What we've been up to lately...

SIGHHHHHH...........This is how we all feel around here.

We've been busy around our house getting Abram into his big boy room and making necessary preparations for Sadie. I'm 38 1/2 weeks and have learned that even in the nesting phase of life, my procrastination runs rampant.

Daniel and I decided to do a lot of "home made" decorating for the two kids' rooms. The sewing and decorating was completed by yours truly, while Daniel built an awesome bookshelf for Abram. I did paint the bookshelf, but Daniel has moved and organized all of the furniture in both rooms.

Enjoy!

We have nothing on the walls yet, but we will post more pictures when everything is finished.

And here is what we have so far for Sadie's room...same applies with the walls. We'll post when it's finished.

(I'll change the picture to one of Sadie once she's born.)

In full disclosure, a sweet lady from church sewed this pillow for us...not me.

Anyway, we are getting much closer to meeting Sadie! My next appointment is in two days, and we'll learn about possibly inducing on Monday/Tuesday the following week. We'll let you know when our daughter arrives!

Ta Daahhhh...

Well here I am at 35 weeks and just now showing my face (and belly) to the world wide web. Does this get me out of the dog house with a certain friend????? My next appointment is 5/21 and I'll have an ultrasound to determine baby size and my first of many exams. I feel good but tired most days. I am definitely losing my range of motion by the second and Daniel often has to help push me out of bed in the middle of the night for potty runs. I've started swelling just a little and I'm probably on my 5th bottle of Tums, but hey...it's all worth it right? This weekend begins the major switch of rooms at our house. Abram will get a big boy bed and Sadie's room will have some pink added. As we accomplish these tasks, I'll post pictures. The picture below shows you one of Abram's favorite things in the world...the "bowl." Anytime we drive past water (ex: the Reservoir) he says, "Bowl!" I can't wait to get him in the pool this summer!

Maybe the next post will include some potentially embarrassing photo of Daniel. Until then, it's just Abram and me showing ourselves to you dear friends and family.

Greetings...

Happy (late) Easter from the Scarbroughs. We are in fact still alive and well...though incredibly busy these days. We've made it through another busy season with Daniel's work. WOO HOO! We are now in crunch mode before Sadie arrives. Yep, our daughter does have a name...Sadie Margaret Scarbrough. And she should arrive in about 2 months! This has been such a fast pregnancy, but we are very excited about meeting this little girl! Here is a picture from Easter of us. Notice how I managed not to get the belly in this shot! Soon I'll get a belly shot posted that is appropriate for the World Wide Web.

Fun at Grandpa and NeeNee's House

Abram and I are spending the week in Tupelo, and he LOVES to play outside at my parents' home. Our yard/play area is no where near the size and obviously contains far fewer "adventures" for him. Enjoy the pictures.

These three steps to Grandpa's workshop provide hours of fun for Abram.

My favorite picture...Abram's favorite swing and thumb.

Enjoying the "woods"

Abram pushes his toys around like this rather than riding them usually.

"Wide open spaces....."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL!!!!

Just wanted to wish my hubby a happy birthday today! These two boys make my life such a joy! Love you dad! See you Friday!

By the way...can I get a "GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Some pictures!

Abram loves to ride his 4-wheeler and push his mower...both in doors and out. He loves to go outside and we've had some nice weather that allows for this, even in Jan/Feb.

Abram is learning how to feed himself with a spoon. He's actually really doing well these days.

Daniel and I celebrated New Year's at the beach. This is us in the hotel at Perdido Beach.

OK, this time I mean it...

Our last post was dated sometime in November I believe, and the words used there were something to the tune of "I'm back." Well, obviously you now know to never trust anything you read from this blog...except what's typed below.

Shea (the pregnant one) and Abram (the wee one) are both napping, so I (the awake one) am following instructions from my wife, given to me just as she fell asleep still fully dressed from church, to update the blog.

Things contine to be crazy, but isn't that true for all families? I'm in the middle of my busy season, so I'm working a lot (hence, the name "busy season"). Abram is an active little 18 month old boy with the bumps and bruises to prove it. Shea's pregnancy is going well. She's 24 weeks now, and if you haven't heard, we found out in January that we are having a baby girl! Very exciting!

We'll see if, in the future, we can't blog a little more often than once every 3 months. Hope you are all well. Take care.

I'm back...

And I promise to be more regular about posting. To make a long story short, I haven't had access to a computer while Daniel has been studying/traveling...but that will be on hold during the holidays.

Anyway...greetings from our family of FOUR. That's right...baby #2 is on its way. Our due date is June 13th, which makes me 11 weeks today. I had a sonogram on Thursday and everything looks great. The little one was moving all around and has a great strong heart beat. Abram is going to be such a great big brother (we hope!) and can say "baby" when you bribe him with food. He's so fun these days...running everywhere, talking up a storm, and acting so silly at times.

(Don't be suprised if you receive a similar looking photo with a Christmas card!)

As Thanksgiving approaches...We recognize how thankful we are for our little family and how God continues to graciously bless us in so many ways. Most of all we are thankful that God loves us so much that He was willing to send Jesus and have Him take on our sins' penalty (death)...just to have a relationship with us. Happy Thanksgiving!
