Grady's Here!!!

GRADY TAIT SLESK

We welcomed Grady into the world on Mother's Day, May 11, 2008. He was born at 5:30 P.M., weighs 7 pounds, and is 20 inches long. He is a beautiful healthy baby as you can see in the pictures. In the morning, Brittany felt it was time to go to the hospital, and after a few hours of contractions, Grady was born.

Many Thanks!!

As the due date for the baby gets closer, and I get more and more excited (and emotional) :) I can't help but think of how blessed I truly am. Even though pregnancy is hard at times, I can't help but think every day how big of a miracle it is, and how lucky I am to be able to have a baby and be a mom! I am so thankful for all the many, many other blessings that I have. I have been so blessed with the family and friends that have been placed in my life, all of you are so amazing, thank you so much for all of your love and your support! And I feel especially blessed to have such an amazing, loving and supporting husband. I don't know what I did to deserve him, but he is so incredible and I feel so lucky to have him as my companion. He will be the best dad ever, (sorry all you other dad's)! :) Anyway, I just felt like I needed to share my thoughts and thank yous with all of you! So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, and THANK YOU!

PuzZleS!!!!!

Eli has been really into puzzles lately and this is one we finished a couple weeks ago. It was 1500 pieces of fun! Eli chewed seeds the whole time we were working on it, and despite my protest kept all of the seeds. GROSS, but he promised once he got to 15 bottles he will throw them away. I think it's a boy thing!

The Nursery

Now we are really ready for our little guy to get here! Everything is ready and in it's place now comes the hard part, being patient and waiting for him to come. I've had so much fun decorating and trying to get my domestic side to emerge. It's coming slowly!

SOON, SOON, SOON

Hey Everyone!!! So we only have just over a month left, and are getting very anxious to get our little one here. I will put some more pictures on very soon (I promise)! We hope all is well!

Hinkley Challenge

Eli and I decided to do this challenge in honor of President Hinckley and read the Book of Mormon in 97 days. If anyone else would like to do this with us the website is www.hinckleychallenge.com. We loved President Hinckley and he will be greatly missed!

IT'S A BOY!!!

I have started to collect some things for the baby, I have so much fun even though it is really hard to find boy stuff. Everytime I get stuff for him though, it makes me that much more excited to get him here! I have tried to get him stuff that Eli will approve of, so far so good!
And here is an updated picture of my belly. It's amazing how it just keeps on growing!
