Brody Patrick Hoke

I can't believe that my little guy is a week old and I'm just now posting his birth! HA! Better late than never, I guess.

Brody Patrick Hoke entered this world on April 21st at 3:55pm, weighing in at 8lb 14oz (WOW!) and 21 inches long. He's got mommy's strawberry blonde hair but looks like daddy other than that.

Motherhood has been quite an adjustment but I'm having fun learning the ropes. I just don't know who cries more...me or Brody (I'm pretty sure Rory would say me : )). Rory has been settling in nicely to the daddy role and is very, very sweet with Brody. He's even mastering the diaper changes!

Here are some pics....

Evelyn

Today I spent the afternoon with Tish and baby Evelyn. She is so cute! Evelyn, that is : ) But Tish looks great already too! I just had to dedicate a blog post to little Evie.

Wide Awake!


New mommy, Tish




Big yawn!

Unless he decides to come out on his own, Brody is going to be forced out this weekend! Rory and I are going to the hospital at 5pm on Sunday to be induced so we'll be meeting our little guy sometime on Monday probably!

Baby Brody is 39 weeks and counting.....

THE FINAL PRODUCT:


Now all we need is Brody! If nothing happens before, I'll probably be getting induced on the 21st or 22nd as my doc is going on vacation.
In other exciting news....Brody's future wife has entered the world! Little Miss Evelyn Mae Dehus was born on April 9th at 7:01pm. She weighed 7lbs 3oz and is absolutely ADORABLE! I'll try to post some pics of her soon.
Baby Brody Hoke is 38 weeks + 4 days and counting.....
