The LUCKiest people!

Even though Paxton made us wait and was born about 5 days late, he came on the perfect day!  March 17 which in our home will now be known as St. Paxton's Day :)  We are so LUCKY to have him! 

Saying our "See you laters" at the hospital.  I thought I would have been emotional this day and I was a little bit, but we were also very happy!  But now everytime I look at these hospital pictures with our sweet Birth Mother- Ciara, I get emotional.  She was so strong throughout this whole process, we are so so grateful for her!  Paxton has been such a blessing to us, he is such a sweet baby!

All ready to go home!  Notice his blanket matches his shirt- not planned.  Cindy (Ciara's Mom) bought  the cute outfit he is wearing and we brought the blanket and didn't realize that he matched until we were putting the blanket on him.

Grandma Moss (my mom) was so sweet to make a "Welcome Home" sign for Paxton.

Our cute little family

Great Grandma Moss bought Paxton his first St. Patrick's Day outfit... so cute!

Happy St. Paxton's Day!!

Yes, we are naming him Paxton!

Still trying to decide on a middle name.  Either...

Paxton Booker Sorenson (it's an african american name) OR

Paxton Steele Sorenson (Remi was named after 'Remington Steele' the TV show)

What's your vote??

Can't wait to fill all those frames with pictures!

Our nice comfy recliner rocking chair (I made Rem be in the picture :).   I'm sitting in it right now!  We will be getting A LOT of use out of this chair!

This picture is from when we were looking at houses to buy in 2005.  This is actually our bedroom before we bought the house.  Kind of boring so I posted 2 more pics...

This is when we first moved in and nothing to hang on the walls.

And this is now.  We have been working on re-doing our bedroom.  It's not quite done yet.  I'll have to post pictures once it's all done (this might be a while, since we have been working on the nursery).  And yes, Remi painted that flower on the wall (it's not quite done).  I am loving our bedroom, can't wait til it's all finished!

2 1/2 more weeks...

This is Ciara

She invited us to her doctors appointment today.  It was so fun to be able to sit and talk with her while we waited for the doctor.  As we were waiting, I got to feel the baby kick (thanks Ciara) that was really cool!  When the doctor came in he measured her tummy and we got to hear the heartbeat-that was amazing!  We can't wait to see this little guy.  The doctor said everything is perfect so we get to come back in one more week for her next appointment.  Only 2 1/2 weeks away, Ciara is getting very anxious for this baby to come out, so are we!

Ciara was so sweet to bring us a gift today, she framed the picture of the ultrasound-I love it.

Thanks for such a wonderful day Ciara, you're such an amazing person!!

We have had the nursery walls and crib done for a while, but we just added a changing table and Remi painted that design on the wall-he is AMAZING!  The fabric hanging over the crib is going to be made into a bed skirt.  I'm so excited to see it all come together.  More projects are in the making... so more pictures will come soon hopefully.

Baby Boy

Ciara sent us a picture of her baby over texting so it's not the greatest picture, but I LOVE it!  Isn't he cute?! 

5 weeks and 1 day until the due date!  I can't believe it!!  It's been so fun going shopping and getting registered!  Ciara had a doctors appointment today and the doctor said that everything looks perfect!
