Catching up!

So here I go! I've recently been inspired to start a blog now that I am a mommy - I only hope I can keep up with it! I thought I'd just start by catching everyone up on our happenings the last couple of months...
55 days ago I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby boy! My life is forever changed-for the better and he brings me so much indescribable joy. Even on a day like today when I feel as if I've been hit by a semi, I can smile because he is in my life. God has blessed us! Kaden Joel Legg was born November 16, 2010 at 8:25pm and weighed 7.0 lbs and 19 3/4'' long. I was actually surprised he wasn't smaller considering the many comments throughout my pregnancy about my tiny belly. I thought it was plenty big enough, thank you very much :). My mom arrived at the hospital just 3 hours after he was born and stayed with us for 3 weeks. It was amazing to have her there while I adjusted to mommyhood and to experience the first 3 weeks of Kaden's life. She really bonded to him in that time and can't wait to come back in February. And April. I think she will soon get tired of the many trips and just decide to stay - we can only hope!  Here are a few of Kaden's first pictures in the hospital.

The next big event we had was moving into our very own condo. We love it here and can really see ourselves staying for a good long time, which is the point, I suppose. It is a bit smaller than our last place so we have had to downsize a little bit, but we don't mind because we had a lot of things we didn't need. I am excited for the memories we will make here with our munchkin and to watch him grow. I think baby's 2nd Christmas may have a few more memories than his first though, as he slept through present opening and 2 dinners this year. Now maybe I should take down that tree...
