Our BIG HAPPY Boy!!!


Well it has been almost 3 weeks and we are still surviving! This has been such a fun and tiring experience! Auklin is not even 3 weeks and he is already so big and strong so we wanted to just share with you some of the excitement!!! He is all big smiles and sometimes even giggles, his giggles have no sound really but the huge smile is there and he rocks his head back and forth like he is laughing! It is so fun to watch!
As said before he just loves his daddy! He loves to give him kisses and loves just cuddling with dad! They are so much fun to watch. They are going to be the best of buds!




Last but not least we have this video! He is for sure his daddy's son! So eager to be so big, Kasey already has him standing and encouraging him to walk! ;) hehehe he will be playing basketball before we know it! (sorry its so dark!)

PICTURES!!!






Auklin has been so fun to have and play with! Kasey is so sweet with him- it is going to be so hard for all of us when he goes back to work. He has been such a great help! I dont know what I would do without him! They have such a close relationship already! I love to just watch Auklin look up into Kaseys eyes and be so content. I just love my boys!!!

The Day has Come



Well you may be surprised I am posting so soon! But I can not sleep and the Auklin's heart is getting tested so I have to keep my mind on something... We started at 7:30 am and progressed pretty well until about 2 pm when I got stuck at a 5 and 6 hours later still no progression, so C Section I went! It was scary and nervous but it was such a blessing we did- he ended up having the cord wrapped around his neck twice and around his body too- the surgery went great and he looks just like Kasey! : ) He weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz and is 21 inches long. He is just so cute and so far so good! This has been such a great experience and we are so happy he is finally here to love and adore!

Whats in a name!

Well this will be the last post I will put on as a wife, I am a soon to be mom! ahhh- next time I write we will actually be parents and have a baby to hold! 3 days and counting, I really cant even believe it! This past month has dragged by but the last couple days have flown- Kasey and I are trying to get as much time together in as possible! We are a bit nervous and a little scared but so so excited! We are getting down to the wire with finishing finals and making sure we have everything ready for our little boy! We have been struggling for a while now with a name and we wanted name him something special to us that has meaning and that was unique all in one. I think we found just that! Auklin Reed Craven- is the name! Kasey went to Auckland New Zealand on his mission and we just kinda formed his name out of that. The middle name comes from Kasey Reed Craven. We know it is very different and will take getting used to for a lot of people but we really love it and since hearing it more and more it feels more and more fitting. We are very excited to start this new journey- we will try to keep you updated asap! Thanks everyone for everything! I have the best family and friends EVER! We love you all!
