he's here!!!

Ok, so I thought it would be easy to blog when the baby came and I had things to write about....who was I kidding?!?!....it's enough work just to survive the day!...so the updates are:

Our precious little boy - Charles Huckleberry "Huck" Brantly was born June 13, 2009 at 6:00 pm after 18 hours of labor...we chose the name Charles after my stepfather who died just 4 days before Huck was born.

We are so enjoying introducing Huck to the world...he is so curious about EVERYTHING...he loves a crowd and praise and worship music...he hates lying down or riding in the carseat and would prefer to be either standing up or riding facing out in a carrier...he is taken with blonds and little girls and is already pretty good at flirting with them :o)...we are trying to be good parents and teach him important things - like how to do laudry...
how to make friends...
how to be musical...


and how to say "War Eagle!!!"...
Huck rolled over for the first time today - Sid and I cheered, of course, but he seemed to think it was no big deal. I had alot of trouble with gallstones during prenancy so I had my gallbladder removed this week - which was a very simple procedure and one I was very glad to have done. Sid has spent the week working on building an airplane that he designed. In fact, even as I type this, he is downstairs determined to finish it and go to work early tomorrow to test it's flying capabilities. (I'll try to post video when I get some). We are getting used to functioning on little sleep as our little guy is not sleeping well yet. (He is currently in his swing fighting falling asleep despite the fact that he is warm and full.) I, myself, am welcoming the idea of going to sleep as I hope to get up and go to the gym in the morning because with breastfeeding and the pregnancy weight lingering on my hips, my wearable wardrobe has gotten very small and with football season right around the corner, I really need to be able to comfortably fit into my Auburn clothes so I can proudly display my Auburn spirit in UK country. :o)
