Recent happenings

Beckham weighed in at his two week check-up at a whole pound over his birth weight!!! Yippee!!! It makes all the pain and fatigue of nursing worth it.

Here is a picture of Beckham during his first bath at home. Isn't he beautiful?!


We met friends at the park this week. Most kids played in spray waterfalls but, our little Sophia was not interested in getting wet or dirty.


Jamie and Maddie came over for a few days to help out. Three babies under the age of two was complete chaos but, it was so good to have another adult interact with while living through the chaos.


Here is a picture of Sophia having fun with her "Wo-Wo". I am SO jealous of his tan!

Reality has started!!!!

I have managed to find a few minutes while Sophia is playing independently and Beckham is sleeping to make a post. I cannot believe I have TWO babies!! Aaron was able to take a full week off work and unfortunately that luxury is over. Yesterday was my first day alone and thanks to good friends and a wonderful brother it went better than expected.


Beckham's demeanor so far, is absolutely pleasant. I can count on one hand how many times he has actually cried. He is sleeping like a champ at night. Allowing me to (sometimes) get a good six hour stretch. :) I guess he knows how badly his mom needs her sleep. Although Sophia was not Beckhams biggest fan at first she has turned into quite the lover, helper and care giver to Beckham.


I have exceeded Sophia's independent play time frame so...I must go.

Who doesn't like to hide in a closet?

and on the second day...

Well, we know fame fades quickly and the fan club is probably shrinking with each hour of inactivity on the blog, but for those select few who're still interested here are a few pictures of Day Two:

BECKHAM AARON BOYCE
May 15, 2009
7 lbs 9 oz. 19" long

Mom and baby are doing great. Both are now recovering in the hospital room. Thanks to Dr. Daum, the staff at Mansfield Methodist and all of Beckham's aunts, uncles and grandparents who came to join the festivities or called to wish a speedy delivery. Here's a few more pictures:

And yes, for all of you who are wondering, Beckham has alreay pee'd on Dad during his first diaper change! :)

The BIG day!!!

Tomorrow is the day we go from a family of three to a family of four!!! I am scheduled to report to the hospital at 7 a.m. to begin the induction process. I am anxiously excited. As much as I want to feel complete serenity about the upcoming events there is something about having to push another human out my body that does not allow me to be exactly worry free but, all in all... I am ready!

I can't help but think of how different tomorrow and everyday after that will be for our family. I hope I am ready for this enormous change.

Baby Boy Boyce: I hope I love you. I hope I enjoy you. I hope you are healthy. I hope I can meet your needs. I hope you come out easily. :) I really hope you are healthy. I hope we can decide on a name for you. I hope to be a good mom to you. I hope you will always know of the unconditional love that your mom and dad have for you.
See you soon!!!
