Finally we are back

OK, I know it has been a LONG while since I have updated our family blog. After several attempts to have our personal laptop fixed we finally figured out that the motherboard had crashed and also that it would cost just as much to be repaired as it would to purchase a new one. Now we have not been living completely computer free for the last several months, we have had Adrian's work computer. The problem with that is I can not download all of my pictures; so with new computer in hand I am all set. I do not know where to begin to catch y'all up on our lives for the last several months other then to say life has been pretty good around the Colquitt house. We are just truly amazed at how fast Aiden is growing and learning everyday. Everyone always tells you to enjoy every moment because they go by so fast. I do not think you understand how true that statement is until you are actually watching them fly by.

Here are some pictures from our summer and a few from the fall.




As you can see Aiden has grown and changed so much. He is a busy little man these days and is certainly keeping mom and dad on our toes. It has been such a wonderful blessing being parents and we are so thankful for all of the joy and laughter he has brought to our lives.Now that I have a computer again I will be sure to update more often so everyone else can see how fast our moments are passing by. We will keep enjoying them and sharing them with you.

Just a few favorite pics

Squeaky Clean!!!

Can you believe it?

For once the weather man actually got it right. It is snowing in Bama! Since this rarely happens we could not resist bundling up for a little fun with the neighbors. Aiden did not seem to mind the cold at all. After being outside for about 10 minutes he was fast asleep. We are now settled back in to our warm and cozy house, with a pot of chili brewing about to enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon watching movies.

Our Little Man

Aiden Hunter Colquitt arrived on January 5th at 2:53 pm. After two hours of pushing he was finally delivered via cesarean section. He weighed in at a whopping 8lb. 6 oz. and was 21 1/4 in. Much to our surprise he was a big boy. A few hours after he was born they admitted him to the NICU where he stayed for the next 10 days. He had a condition called "wet lungs" which is very common with babies born by c section. It was very traumatic for both mom and dad to have our baby boy taken away from us and to come home without him. We were finally able to bring Aiden home on January 13th. Since then we have been adjusting to our new life and have truly enjoyed every minute. He is a great baby and we feel so blessed to have him home and healthy.

We want to thank everyone for the countless prayers, visits, calls,and emails we have received. We are reminded often how lucky we are to have such great friends and family.

The 9 Month Journey

13 Weeks & 16 Weeks

20 Weeks & 27 Weeks

38 Weeks & Ready

What a journey it has been. After being sick for 17 weeks, I finally started feeling better. Even with the sickness, swollen feet, and a couple of other symptoms I truly have enjoyed this pregnancy. I am reminded with every movement he makes just how blessed I am to have this little miracle growing inside of me. It truly is a miraculous gift that God has given me. As most of you have heard by now, Adrian and I are going to St. Vincents on Sunday Jan. 4th to start the process of being induced. Aiden will hopefully make his grand entrance on Monday Jan. 5th ( hopefully sooner then later).

I just wanted to share a few pictures of how I have changed throughout " The 9 Month Journey"
