Beckham's Birth Announcement

I just completed Beckham's birth announcement and I couldn't wait to share.  I did it on Shutterfly and it is adorable.  Shutterfly is the only place I will get pictures from and you can make awesome photo books and gifts on there as well.  I highly recommend this site.  Check it out here:  http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=2AYsWrly1bsWIN

Update and More Pictures

It has been a week since we brought Beckham home and what a week it has been.  We are still getting adjusted to life with a newborn again, but Justin and I wouldn't trade it for the world.  We have truly been blessed with two amazing, beautiful children.  This past week we have been to the doctor for Beckham's two day check-up, celebrated Halloween (and yes, Makenna did get way too much candy), and had Beckham's newborn and family pictures taken.  We can't wait to see how the pictures turn out.  Here are a few pictures from this past week.

Hello, My Name Is...

Beckham Glen Coffer

I weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21 1/2 inches long.  I have a little bruising on my face due to a fast delivery, but other than that I am doing great.  I enjoyed meeting family and friends today and look forward to meeting more tomorrow.  I especially enjoyed meeting my big sister, Makenna and I can't wait to play with her.  Mommy says she will post more pictures tomorrow.  Good night.

Love,

Beckham

Update

It is 10:40 and I have been in my room for about 5 hours.  They have broken my water, my epidural is working wonderfully and my excellent nurse predicts that Mr. Beckham should be here sometime in the early afternoon.

A Day of Lasts

--Today is the last day we are a family of three.

--Today is the last day before we meet our precious son.

--Today is the last day I am a mother of one, Justin is a father of one and Makenna is an only child.  She understands that tomorrow she will become a big sister and it is so neat to see the excitement in her face.

--Today is the last day of not having to change diapers, get up for late night feedings, etc.  Not so much looking forward to all that, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Are we nervous?  Yes.  Are we excited?  Of, course.  Are we blessed?  Definitely, beyond measure.

We will try to keep everyone posted tomorrow via this blog, texting, Facebook, etc.  We will post pictures on here so make sure to check the blog often.  Also, please pray everything goes smoothly for both Beckham and myself.  Hopefully at this time tomorrow I will be holding my son.

Still Waiting...

This child is stubborn like his sister and just doesn't seem to want to be born.  I think even Makenna is getting tired of waiting because yesterday morning she asked, "Mommy, when are you going to go to the hospital so Beckham can be borned."  I have a feeling I will go into labor tomorrow night (the night before I am supposed to be induced) just like I did with Makenna.  Regardless of what happens, we do know that we will have a son in approximately 48 hours, if not before.  We can't wait to meet him!

Happy Due Date, Beckham

Today is Beckham's official due date, but the way things appear right now he will be late just like his sister.  But as we all know anything can happen.  I have my last doctor's appointment this afternoon and there is something inside of me hoping he tells me just to go check in at the hospital. :)  I know that is wishful thinking on my part, but I just want to have Beckham here.  We will keep you posted!

Our New Toy

Justin and I decided to invest in something that would make it easier for us to take videos of the kids.  We have a video camera, but it is a pain to transfer the tapes to DVD, etc. so honestly we don't enjoy using it.  So, meet our new friend...

I have used the Flip camera at school so I had mentioned to Justin a while back that it would be something we might think about getting.  I finally broke down last week and ordered it using my Cashback Bonus Rewards from my Discover card.  I am so thankful it arrived before Beckham. 

Here is the first video we recorded after we got the Flip in the mail.  Enjoy!

The Beginning of Another Week

I will be glad to begin this week and put last week behind me.  It was a very stressful week, but I do have to say that Grandma's visitation and service were both very nice although I know the whole time she was just shaking her head up in heaven that people took time to come celebrate her life.

Yesterday morning Justin and I took a tour of St. John's Hospital where Beckham will be born.  Makenna was born at Cox South, so this will be an entirely different experience for us all.  It is amazing the differences between the two hospitals!  We learned a lot about policies and procedures, took a tour, etc. and we both got excited for the little guy's arrival.  Speaking of which, Beckham will be born on Monday, October 25th at the latest, which is two weeks from tomorrow.  YIKES!
