Laila's Smile

Laila Luciana Brown

Hello All!

Just wanted to introduce you to our little angel! Laila Luciana Brown was born on September 10, 2008 at 8:21 am. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz at birth ( just like her dad did!) and was 20" long! We had a quick stay at the hospital and have been enjoying our first weekend at home. We can't get over how well she is adjusting to being here.....surprisingly enough since for a while it didn't seem like she wanted to come out:) She is really the sweetest baby we couldn't be more blessed. Here are some pics and we hope that she gets to meet all of you very soon!! Thank you to everyone for calling/coming to visit and for being here for us we all three very much appreciate it!

Almost there......

Just wanted to post hopefully what will be the last pregnancy pic taken of me......this is the final hurrah. Laila is due this sunday and it cannot come fast enough!! We cannot wait to meet her and see what she is like..... and i cannot wait to not be huge and swollen:)

Dad wanted in on the action too....he said in case Laila wanted to know what he looked like the week she was born.

Hopefully the next pics i post on here are of her! Hope everyone had a good labor day!

Laila's Room

We found this at Target for her room....we are hoping this is somthing she will always remember.

We also have started collecting birds for her:) Hope she is a fan!

First I had to sneak in this cute pic of Olan!!! he was chillin out lookin sexy that day:) too funny!

Laila's Room is finally done......aside from her crown molding that her dad and her godfather are suppose to do soon......although I am starting to wonder if she can go without....drilling into the walls of our house seems to bring a slew of bad words to mind:) Other than that......her room is ready to go and her closet is filled to the brim:) Now she just needs to hurry up and be born! I would include the pic i had to take of my swollen feet and lack of ankles but I don't want you all to lose your lunch!

Other news in our world.....we have a new niece.....Grace Caroline Chandler! We are looking forward to meeting her in November when we head down to VA!

New Pics

Just wanted to add a few new pics! Not much going on here in Westerville with the Browns.....just running the business and looking forward to a nice fourth of July weekend! Hope you all are doing well and hope everyone enjoys their holiday! We had a great visit with Frankie and Keith two weekends ago....they were nice enough to come all the way from VA to see us and to paint our house for us! Looks great! Almost like it was done by professionals:) Anyway we really appreciate their help and we finally said goodbye to the pink house.

Here are new pics of Olan Ross! He is getting so big we can hardly believe it! He is a little over 7 lbs now, about the same size his girlfriend Laila is predicted to be:) Guess we will see! Mom and Dad are doing well....Emily starts back to work next Tuesday so looks like next Monday will be my last outing with my godson and my girlfriend :(

New pic of me and Laila......29 weeks! This week is 30 weeks.....we are in the home stretch!! YAY! What you cannot see in this pic are my feet which are the size of Texas:)

Actually I have been taking water aerobics 3 times a week and that seems to be helping in that area.

Some pics of Laila's room.....this is our next house project. Finishing her room ( crown molding and baseboards, closet doors, and some miscellaneous projects). She was lucky enough to get a very cute painting from her Aunt Emily for her room and a really beautiful piece of artwork from Rob and Leigh Ann that will be perfect next to her crib!

Once its all done i will send out pics.

Also.....we are looking forward to celebrating Jason's 35th birthday July 14!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BIG 35! We are keeping it low key this year.....spending the day down in hocking hills and dinner....it will be a nice time for him hopefully! I saw something on Oprah yesterday where she was talking about Tom Hanks and they described him as the guy you always want to end up sitting with at an event.....b.c. he is a "man's man" but at the same time he can strike up a conversation and tell a story like a woman. Well rounded :) I thought that was a great way to describe my husband as well! Be sure to e mail or call him and wish him a happy 35th!
