Jaxon is finally here!

Now for the post we've all been waiting for...Jaxon Nicholas Cysewski FINALLY came December 19th at 3:04 PM. After 13 hours of labor and no progress, the doctor called for a C-section so he had a cone-head but he looks great now. He weighed in at 6 lbs 12 oz, and measured 20 1/2 inches long. He is the sweetest little guy, and he brings so much joy to everyone around him. All the nurses at the hospital fell in love with him and they all went goo-goo over him! He's the perfect little boy, and we just love him! Here are some pics, more will come soon!

So, he had a little conehead...ok a big one...but its gone now and he looks amazing. I was so drugged up by the time I saw him that I didn't even notice his conehead!

Yeah, he really is that small!


Nick loves his little boy!



This was the first time I actually held Jaxon.
I had to wait over an hour to hold him!


That first day was exhausting! 13 hours of labor
and then a C-Section...Good thing he's worth it!


He's so snuggly!


This was on our way out of the hospital. He looked
so little in his carseat! The nurses just loved it!

Baby Shower!!!

Well, it took me forever but here are some baby shower pics from that wonderful day back on November 22nd. We had so much fun, lots of people came and we are so grateful to everyone who came. Well, here are some pics!


My mom made Jaxon's first cake:)




She also made chocolate suckers with Winnie the Pooh molds. Not only were they adorable but they were so good! Mmmmmm....



So much good food! I'm getting hungry just looking at these...



This was one of the cutest gifts I had ever seen, so clever too!
Baby essentials in a wreath...I love it!



Lots and lots of gifts!!!


All that gift unwrapping really wiped me out!

Well there you have it, this was such a fun day and we appreciate everyone's help. We really are grateful for everyone's help and to everyone who came. Just an update, Jaxon's due date is in 2 days so we're hoping he'll be here very soon. I'll post pictures of him as soon as he's born!

Never done...

Thinking about household chores can be a very depressing thing, but thinking about how often these chores need attention is a little more depressing. We've come up with a list of things that are never done. No need to wonder what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life!

1-Laundry! Even the clothes on your body will need washing...(thank you Michelle)
2-Dishes-They may be done for a moment, but a meal is always around the corner..
3-Paying bills-Even if you are out of debt, there are still bills to pay every month. Cell phone, insurance, whatever else people pay on a monthly basis...
4-Making the bed-it's just going to get messy again as soon as you make it...grrrrr
5-Grocery shopping-you may be done with a week or two, but without fail, as soon as you get home you realize something you forgot and you have to go back...
6-Pregnancy-Enough said
7-Fixing the car-In our case anyway, as soon as we fix one thing, something else breaks
8-Haircuts-Unless you are bald (Brandon), you don't have to worry about it. But, your hair is always growing....
9-Eating- You may feel full for a while but sooner or later you have to eat again, unless you are survivorman...
10-Cleaning the house-In our case anyway, there's always something to clean...

So looking at this list, I realize that there is no reason for me to be bored! There's so much to do all the time! There are also other things that need to be done each and every day that don't involve housework, where too much is never a bad thing. Here's another list-

1-Repentance
2-Forgiveness
3-Loving others
4-Serving others
5-Scripture study
6-Learning about anything and everything
7-Praying
8-Laughing
9-Spending time with family
10-Making great memories with those you love

So, some things aren't so bad even though we will never reach the end. Wow, this is a pretty random post...I better get to work!
