My Little Man....

Xavier a few hours old

Today is my son's 5th birthday.  I can't believe 5 years have already gone by. I was looking through old picture of his cute little face the afternoon he was born.  I remember thinking how far away 5 years felt. My nephew was 5 when my son was born. I couldn't imagine my little baby being that big.  Now, the time is here.  


Xavier was my first miracle baby.  After 7 years of infertility treatment, we finally conceived through IVF.  I will never forget the day I found out I was pregnant.  On January 11, 2005, I received a phone call from the RE's (reproductive endocrinology) office with the news.  Pregnant! My HcG levels were in the 400's.  It was definite, we were pregnant! I remember at the exact moment I was told a light snow began to fall on me.  I was at work, outside in the parking lot.  I didn't want to give anyone a clue to the answer until I told my husband. I wanted him to be the first person I told.  I called him immediately and when he answered I said, "Hi Daddy!" He was so happy and kept saying, "Really? Really?"

Here we are 5 years later and Xavier amazes me ever day.  He's a smart bright kid. He's currently obsessed with Star Wars and loves to play Star Wars Lego on his Play Station. He attends preschool twice a week and takes great care of his baby sister. I'm proud to call him my son.  Happy 5th Birthday My Prince! Mommy, Daddy and Addison love you!

Changing my look again!!!

I know, I know, changing again! I just can't find my look... You know, that look? The one that makes you say, "yup, that's me"! I think I am close to it. Maybe for this month anyway.  I just love designing a look. I like my Linky Spot page so, maybe I can make something out of this blog with that look. I can't seem to get the title right though.  I'm not liking the "said so" section. I think the pink and brown stripes are killing it for me! Let me know what you all think. Do you like the beginnings of my new look?? Let me know!


Also, if anyone knows how to put a changing photo frame in there.  Can you help a girl out? I'd like to have something like my bloggy friend Mindy has over at The Inquisitive Mom. I don't want it exactly. I'm just looking for maybe some code to get a changing picture background in a frame.  And seriously, I found the cutest frame to use!!!
