Brady's First Month.......

Wow, two kids....I never thought it would be as hard and as fun as it has been. What a whirlwind of emotions this last month has brought. We love our little boy and what joy he has brought into our home. Here are some pictures of his first month of life. Mallory loves him and won't leave him alone. We can't get enough of him and love having a baby in our home again. He's growing up so fast, if only time would slow down......

Mallory's Pre-School Graduation

Well, she did it! My daughters first graduation! Here are pictures from Mallory's pre-school graduation. They put on a cute program singing songs about all the colors. She loved school and is so smart! If only pre-school had summer school.......

Brady Timothy Pead!!!

Our little miracle baby is here, happy & healthy! It's such a blessing in our family and we are so thankful. He was born May 13 at 1:49pm. He weighed in at 7lb 14 oz and was 20 inches long. He has quite a bit of light red/strawberry blonde hair and looks just like Mallory's baby's pictures.

I started having contractions Tuesday night when I got in bed and they went all night. I was so out of it that I had no idea how far apart they were, I just knew I was in pain. When Tim got up for work, he said "you better start timing them". At that point they were every 12 minutes and then they kepy getting closer and closer. I went in to the hospital 2 hours later to get monitored and I was at a 6 and 95%. They said, "you are not going anywhere, he is coming fast." So, I got the epideral (heaven!!) and a couple hours later he came out after 3 pushes. Everything went fast and smooth and there were no complications at all.

He is very healthy and we couldn't be more relieved. Brady & I are both doing great and I feel amazing. No complaints at all. Mallory can't get enough of him and won't set him down or let anyone else hold him (we make her share though). She thinks she can carry him around and do everything we do with him, YIKES! I can't take my eyes off of her when he is in the room. Check him out for yourself. Our new little family!

Easter & Pregnancy Update.....

We had a great Easter! We had all of the Nuckles side over for a family Easter party and unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. So, as you can see, the kids had to go on their egg hunt in the pouring rain. They had fun and it will be one to remember! These are all 10 Nuckles grandkids. Mallory was spoiled by the Easter bunny. She got a game, movie, books, bubbles, a bunny and a few treats. Tim & I were both spoiled too. You can't miss the 8+ month pregnancy photo! I am getting so big and my face is ready to pop. I am down to 3 1/2 weeks if I go full term, so it's getting close. We are all completely ready and are so excited for Brady's LONG awaited arrival!!

Bigger & Bigger......Closer & Closer!

One month later and doubled in size...Yikes!

Mal is always wanting to feel him kick.

Mallory loves to give Brady kisses!


Well, I know every post lately has been about the baby or the pregnancy, but that is what is comsuming our life right now. So, here is another "belly" shot one month later. Mallory loves rubbing, kissing and talking to baby Brady, so I had to get a picture of her and my belly too. She is getting very excited and keeps asking when he's coming out. The other day she said "mom, he's been in there a long time."



Things are still going well and I am feeling good. He is a very active little guy that loves to stretch all the time. I feel like my belly is going to pop because he pushes so hard constantly. I am now 32 weeks, so another 7 weeks will get me to full term. We are feeling so blessed to have made it this far. I go to the Dr. on Tuesday for another check-up. I pray all continues to go well....Stay tuned!
