First Days At Home

I am blessed enough to have a job that allowed me to take 15 weeks off of work and stay home with Brooks. So, I enjoyed every minute.  Here are a few pics from our first days at home.

Our First Car Ride

James Brooks Blackmon

James Brooks Blackmon made his debut on November 2, 2011 at 10:19 AM.

 He came bouncing into this world at 7 pounds 1 oz. and was 19.5 inches long.

He was sweet and precious and absolutely loved his big sister.

First picture with Mom & Dad...Ross is one proud PaPa!!

Here we are in the delivery room.  I can't feel the lower half of my body, but seeing him for the first time will stick with me forever!

Best Coach there is!! Couldn't have done it without him!
I just loved the scrubs the hospital gave Ross...so fitting!

Grammy & Grandpa volunteered to keep Cambree during the actual delivery at their house. It made me feel better to have her away and occupied and not worried about what was going on.  When she came into the hospital room she was a little frightened at first by all the stuff connected to me.  This is when she finally relaxed and came to see me.  Such a relief to this Mommy's heart! Big props to Grammy & Grandpa and Nana & Pop for taking care of our girl while we were in the hospital! It was greatly appreciated!!

First family photo. Blessed beyond measure!!

Here is my belly in all it's glory.  I still can't believe it was that big, but so worth it!!

The Week Before Brooks' Arrival

So, alot has happened since the last time I updated the blog...Biggest of which is that we had a precious baby Boy!! Here is a little bit of what we did right before he arrived.

The week before we had the baby we decided to do some fun things with Cambree since this was her last week as an only child...

We took her to our favorite pumpkin patch in Grapevine, she was soooo tired by the time we left, but she had a great time.  I look like I'm about to pop...


 Of course, we celebrated Halloween, Cambree was Cinderella, which should be no surprise to anyone.  We went trick or treating in our neighborhood.  Ross absolutely LOVES halloween, so I put on this "awesome" pregnancy costume.  Don't be jealous, I still have it and am more than willing to let anyone borrow it. And yes, this is 2 days before delivery.






The next day I had one final day to get ready for Brooks to make his arrival (Thank God for a scheduled C-section and a cooperative baby)!
So, Ross took Cambree and I to lunch and to get a pedicure.  He didn't get the pedicure, but he was our chauffeur.  It was a great day and exactly what I needed before the baby got here!
