It's That Time Again....

Is it just me, or do all Mommies like to compare baby pictures?  It is so fun!
Here are all three Gaymon munchkins at about the same age:

Margaret Olivia Gaymon
Check out all of that hair!  She was one gorgeous baby, and she is one gorgeous little girl. 

Oliver Scott Gaymon
He is so handsome!  He is our biggest baby and already very much a boy.

Kerri Grace Gaymon
She was our cute little peanut baby.  She is still pretty and petite!
Although he is changing everyday, I still see a lot of Matt and Maggie in our little guy.  And, ya'll, he is so sweet!  Seriously sweet. I'm a little obsessed. :)  Have a blessed day!

Thoughts of a 4 Week Old...

Oliver is four weeks old!!

Look at that cute little grin.  It makes me curious what he's thinking about.  Maybe, "I love my Mommy," or,"She is so beautiful?"
After the last four weeks, I'm pretty sure it is something more like this...


I sure am thankful for the last four wonderfully exhausting weeks with my little man!
Happy Thursday Ya'll!

It's Always Fun to Compare

Although these are slightly different ages, here's the line up of our baby pictures (from youngest to oldest):








What do you think?  I still think that Oliver favors Maggie a lot.  Although, he looks very much like a boy and she looks like a girl.  One thing that I am sure of, all three of my kiddos are adorable! =)

Valentine's Day

I've always loved Valentine's Day.  I know...cheesy, but true.  Now, my love of Valentine's Day has a whole new meaning.  At 8:30 am on Valentine's Day, my valentine and I welcomed our precious sweetheart baby into the World.  Just like with our girls, it was love at first sight!  
Happy Valentine's Day to Us, and Happy Birthday Oliver!

We are so thankful for our baby boy!!  It has been a journey, for sure.  But, the Lord has been with us through the journey, and has blessed us beyond what we could imagine!!  Thank you, Lord, for Oliver.

The Day Before Love

Today we celebrated (fake) Valentine's Day!  We had a great time, but I have to say that it felt surreal to me.  This was our last day as a family of four....crazy!  Here's what we were up to:

Goodies!!

It's funny how much my girls love dollar store items!  

Morning Fun!

Some of Daddy's Favorites


Kerri Grace was invited to a fun little Valentine Party.

Too cute!

32 Degrees with Daddy!

Creative Wrapping, Handsome Valentine

My Stella and Dot charms were discontinued, but Matt searched far and wide to find an "O" for Oliver.
He's too good to me!

Tomorrow morning is "go time," and while I am so excited, there are definite nerves mixed in.  I have had an "almost cold" with a little bit of congestion and a scratchy throat.  I'm sure it is nothing, but it makes me on edge.  Please pray with me that the Lord protects Oliver from getting sick.  Thanks!  Also, pray for a safe and smooth delivery at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.  I appreciate your prayers so much, friends.  I can't wait to post pictures of my little guy!!  
Happy Love Day to All!

Busy Waiting


The essentials are done....
Nursery ready - check!
Car Seat clean, installed, and checked out with Safe Kids - check!
Oliver's bag packed - check!
Mommy's bag packed - almost

There's still plenty to do this week, but it still seems like it is dragging by.  With my personality, the more time I have, the more I think of to do.  And, usually sometimes when I am not careful, the more I think of to worry about.

So....this is what I praying about and trying to choose to do.  I choose to praise God in advance for a healthy baby boy being born on Thursday.  I choose to put my energy towards Maggie's school projects, and both of the girls' Valentines.  I choose to plan an early family Valentine's Day outing on Wednesday.  I choose to get a pedicure today or tomorrow (only to help ease the worry, of course. =)).  I choose to take Kerri Grace to a special time with friends on Wednesday morning.  I choose to stay positive and be productive instead of paralyzed.  

  I can't wait to meet my sweet boy!
In my opinion, the pictures don't do it justice, but here are a few shots of my little man's room:

Donuts with Dad!

Our girls both had "Donuts for Dad" last week.  Matt was super dad, and he took the girls individually to their special "Donuts for Dad" morning.  I love him every day, all the time, but there are those times when it is just a tiny bit extra.  This past week was one of those times! I know that it's unusual to have a husband and daddy who is hand-on and involved with his family.  Matt is most definitely that for us!

Here are pictures of the girls heading off to enjoy some quality time with Daddy:
