Michael Paxton

He's here! We have a beautiful baby boy! He was born on July 16th at 7:20 am. He weighed 6lbs 10 ozs and was 20 1/2 inches! He is a great baby! Anna Claire loves him. She is a great big sister. Here are a few pictures!

New Paxton Pictures!

Well, we are well over half way to meeting our little boy!!! We got a glimpse at what he will look like on Friday. I say he favors Anna Claire a little. So far, I am doing great! I did my sugar test and that came back good and I took my Rhogam shot since I am weird and have a negative blood type. My blood pressure is maintaining very well. We hope to have a full term chunky baby this time! Thanks for all the prayers! We can't wait to meet him!

Almost Spring Time!

Paxton!

Michael, Anna Claire, and I are sooo excited about our new family member that is coming SOON! We found out last Thursday that we are having a little BOY! We sorta feel like our family is complete. We have our little girl and our little boy. Although I would LOVE to have three kids! We are going one step at a time though :) Anna Claire was able to come with us to the doctor. I was excited to take her and introduce her to everyone that helped take care of me and her when she was where her brother is now. I kinda got emotional when she met Dr. Kimmel because I know that she was the one who got AC here safe and sound and took wonderful care of me! She is one reason why I am not in the least bit worried about having this baby. I know that He will be as healthy as his sister was. The check up went WONDERFUL! The baby looks great! He has all of his organs and they are all working. I always feel better when I hear that he has working parts :) Dr. Kimmel said I was doing great. I didn't gain any weight last month so I was glad because I have not been eating good at all. Pizza calls my name all the time! My blood pressure was good and believe it or not I am not swelling yet! I started swelling really early last time!

After the appointment, of course Michael and I HAD to start shopping for boy clothes. I can tell you that I was a little disappointed. The selection for boy clothes is bare compared to girls. So the first stores we went in, I ended up buying Anna Claire some clothes. FINALLY at Babies R Us and JcPenny we started finding some cute stuff for him. Needless to say, he has a durn good start on clothes!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers! We want so badly to be able to leave together as a family this time! Love you all!

It's been a while!

I know, I know... I am a horrible person for not posting in almost THREE months! All three of us has been REALLY busy after the holidays. As most of you already know, we are having another baby at the end of July. That has obviously been the focus of out attention since we found out. We are excited and nervous. I think I am the only one nervous though. Anna Claire will only be 20 months when this baby arrives. We will have TWO babies on our hands. I am praying for extra strength and patience. Anna Claire is in to EVERYTHING. she is walking and talking and very strong willed. Michael and I are amazed at what all she has accomplished in the past few months. She is eating with a fork (sort of), and has developed a love for tv. I know I shouldn't let her watch very much, but it is a life saver when I need to wash clothes or cook.

Michael has been working hard lately. He got moved to the midnight shift with the Sheriff Department. I hate it. I am selfish and want him at home to sleep with Anna Claire and I. BUT I know that is the price you pay for working in the job that he has. He has taken on a detail at First Pres in Jackson on Sunday mornings, working security in the parking lot. That extra money is covering our new baby bill! We are thankful that God put that in our lap. Then, he is working at Raymond PD part time. He only works here like 4 days a month, but its nice to know that we have a little extra coming in to help with things like new tires for the Jeep, Anna Claire some fun things that ordinarily we couldn't buy for her. God has blessed us and we are THANKFUL!

Here are some pictures from the past few months to keep you up to date! Enjoy!

That time of year!

We are getting sooo excited about Christmas.... well.... I am! Michael and I have almost finished shopping. I even put Jasper's stocking goodies in his stocking. We are on a roll! Its coming and going to quickly though. Here are some pictures to document Anna Claire's 1st really fun Christmas!! Last year, she was tiny so it was kinda like she was the present. This year, its going to be great!!!!

Birthday Party!

We had her 1st birthday party Sunday! It was a blast! Thanks to all my family and friends that came out! It was a BEAUTIFUL day! We are so blessed to have so many people that cares about our precious baby girl! Hope you all enjoy the pictures!
