An Angel Among Us

Little Isaac Brimley

I haven't had the privilege of holding Isaac, a privilege many haven't had, but we have been fortunate enough to see his handsome face via CarePages.com. We've received updates on his health ever since he was born a few months ago. He is now fighting the great fight of his life. He only has one operating lung, which is filling with liquid. There are many other complications that are making his recovery extremely difficult. Jessica and Paul (my cousins) are such wonderful, hopeful and loving parents. All of us care so deeply for them and their little family- we have all been praying daily for our little Isaac. We continue to hope for a miracle, and pray for the peace only our Savior, Jesus Christ can bring us. Any prayers on his behalf will be greatly appreciated.

Breech Boy

This picture was obviously taken before the birth of Devan, but it's probably the only decent picture of me pregnant...the rest of the pictures have one common, unsightly theme: spandex.

So our son, "He who shall not be named" before we get to the hospital and my husband simply HAS to make a decision, has decided to remain breech. At this point, I'm not sure I want him to try turning. OUCH. But I can't help but be grateful for how wonderful it is to be kicked in the bladder, I already have a hard enough time with that, after 2 kids. I think I have peed my pants at most sporting events I go to...but that is hardly my fault if the refs need a little scolding, but I digress.

This post is really about how I'll more than likely be bringing my first son into this world via c-section. So keep us in your prayers, heaven forbid I contract MRSA (did you see that Dr. Phil episode??? AHHH- just kidding). I'm convinced it can't be worse than Pitocin. For all men who are still reading this post, I apologize. I should have warned you beforehand.

APRIL 22, 2008

Aaron and I welcomed two new handsome nephews on the SAME DAY!

Just two hours apart

ASHER WILLIAM DAVIS
(Around 11 am)

Asher is too far away, but we look forward to seeing him at my little brothers wedding. My mother says he is absolutely adorable (as you can see in the picture)- with cute little dimples. Lady Killa!


DEVAN ARCHIE BARNES
(around 9)


I was actually there for Devan's birth- Saw him come out and everything..and had the privilege of taking all of those first moment pictures! He was such a peaceful baby, after he cried all the amniotic fluid out! AND SO MUCH HAIR!!! Skinny and long :) The nurse said, "He looks like a baller...do you guys know what a baller is?" HA HA, do Jamaal and Evelina know what a baller is? hmmmm...probably not!
