Look at this face, isn't he wonderful

Alexander Has Arrived

Baby Alexander arrived February 19th 2008 at 2:18pm after 16.5 hours of labor. He weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces and measured 20.5 inches long. Yes, he is a big boy.

And you can tell his daddy is proud of him.

Wayne, Peta and the Belly

Briz and Shiria came over to help us take some maternity photos. Just in time too because Alex could be here any day now. Here are two of my favorite photos.

The Room

Daddy Wayne did an amazing job putting the room together as Mommy Peta envisioned it. As you may have guessed, we have decided to name him Alexander. All the room needs now is the glider and the baby.

The Baby Shower 2

Thank you to Abbi, Julie and Laura for organizing a baby shower for me at work. They really surprised me. It was a fun time and I heard all about what to expect after the baby is born.

The Baby Shower 1

Debra hosted a baby shower for me which was great. A few friends came by to celebrate with me. We had a great time playing games and eating all of the good food that Debra prepared. Hopefully soon she will share all those recipes. Mommy to be is hungry.



Suzanne made a special contribution to the shower also. Her diaper cake was the centerpiece at the occasion. It is so pretty...I don't know if I want to take it apart.

The Anticipation

Can you see him? I can never really see anything in these ultrasound images and then at this appointment I saw him. I was so excited to see his little face. It is so amazing. I can't wait to hold him.

Bun in the Oven

Did I mention the Honeymoon was fabulous? Wayne and I will soon have an addition to the family. We are so thrilled about the expected arrival of our baby boy.

The Honeymoon

Wayne and I went to Barbados for our Honeymoon. We spent a few nights at the Crane where we relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful beach. Then we moved over to the Hilton and enjoyed the nightlife as well as the beach prior to Nneka and Imo's wedding. Barbados is definately a place that we will visit again.

Our Wedding Day

Wayne and I had a beautiful wedding. We were so happy to celebrate this special occasion with our close family and friends. The weather was just a bit cold, but the rain held off so we were able to get married outside as we orginally planned. Then the party moved indoors. Everyone danced and had a wonderful time.
