First Family Outing

This is the same girl who cried through two months of swim lessons and wouldn't get her face wet. She now has no fear of the water and wore her dad out having him throw her in the air over and over and over.

I was starting to get a little stir crazy being in the "bubble" with Marshall. So, on Saturday we took both kiddos and went to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Dripping Springs. It met Nathaniel's approval for germ exposure, so I got a little trip out and Makena got to swim, ride the jeep and play in her playhouse. She loves it over there and never wants to leave.

Brother & Sister Bonding Time

At the hospital Grandma & Grandpa drove in straight from New Mexico.

Proud Daddy, notice Anna in the background. :)

He's Here!

Marshall Stephen Hammond arrived on Thursday, August 6 at 6:13 PM.

He weighed in at 8 lbs. 5 oz. and is 21 inches long. His sister had him beat on weight by about 3 ounces. I was induced on Thursday and

everything went great. One of our friends had this lovely surprise in our front yard when we came home yesterday. Makena thought the stork was the greatest thing since she got her playscape in the yard.

Marshall or Ryan???

Okay, so tomorrow is the day we get to meet our new little guy, that is if he doesn't arrive tonight and the hospital is not too full for an induction. They (the doctors) have been telling me for the past two weeks that he should be here by my next appointment, yet he hasn't arrived! Without giving out too much personal information, labor should have already started by now with everything else that is going on.

Now we need to choose a name, which at this point, I am still clueless. Makena has been calling him Chuck or Bubba for awhile. She thinks it is hilarious. Our other two real contenders are Marshall Stephen or Ryan Michael. He may not have a name for a few days, that is sad, but I just can't decide.

We will keep you posted when he gets here!
