Babies are such blessings...my debit card disagrees

So I thought since I'm having a boy, I would save a bunch of money on clothes and accessories that I would usually go crazy on for a little girl. WRONG! It's only 10:15am and my debit card has been abused used three times this morning on Etsy! But when you come across things like this adorable stitched hat, how can you not want to buy it? I can't wait to see little Caden with this bear hat on. Just 3 more months til my little guy arrives!!

Peyton Reese Johnson

On April 4th, our close friends, Gigi and Josh, welcomed a little baby girl into the world. Peyton Reese Johnson weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and is absolutely precious! They sure surprised a lot of people since most of us were convinced Gigi was having a little boy! Jana and I went to the hospital the next day to visit the new family of 3. Peyton is so tiny and so beautiful! She looks a lot like her Mama but also has some of her Daddy's features. It was so neat to see them as parents for the first time. Gigi and Peyton are both healthy and Gigi is recovering well. Gigi told us the story of Peyton's birth and I couldn't help but think..."oh man...I have to do this in 3 months!" So exciting...but a little scary at the same time!

Congratulations Gigi and Josh - We are so excited for your new addition. You guys are going to be amazing parents to little Peyton. We love you guys!

{Oh - & we look forward to Caden and Peyton having many play dates together}

Baby C has a name...

They say that "good things come to those who are patient". Well I don't know if I would use "patient" to describe myself over the past 6 months as we went through every baby name in the book (of 60,000 names I might add). To Andrew's defense, some of the names in that book were Nimrod, Sugar-Ray and Spyder. No offense to the author's of the Baby Name book - but seriously??? Spdyer Conners? Hey everyone, this is our precious baby boy - Spyder. Right..... So after narrowing it down, we finally decided on a name for our little guy! We went for a walk yesterday where Andrew decided to reveal his choice... His name is officially:

Caden James Conners

We also love CJ and Cade as nicknames for the little man. I am super excited that Andrew made this his first choice because it's the name I have been pulling for all along. I guess he just had to "sleep on it" for 6 months!! I'm so glad we can finally call Baby C by his name. We love him so much already and are counting down the days (102 to be exact) until he arrives!
