Keegan had a busy first week meeting several of his family members. He can't wait to meet more of his extended family over the holidays. We are still looking forward to meeting his Grandmother (Jason's mom), his great grandparents (Jason's Grandparents), Aunt Amy, Uncle RW and his counsins, Tucker and Tanner.

Sneak Peek of Keegan's Photo Shoot

Jason's sister, Mandy, has been at the house taking pictures of Keegan. She is going to come back on Saturday to finish but I wanted to share two of our favorites. We are falling more and more in love with Keegan everyday. He is such a sweet baby! Our little pea in a pod.
We love this sweet face!

Keegan Scott's Arrival

Yesterday was our first full day at home with Keegan. We are having so much fun with him. I can't tell you how good it feels to be home and away from the hospital. The hospital staff was great but nothing beats home sweet home. Jason and I both agree that was one of the longest weeks, but well worth every second of it. We checked into the hospital at 5PM on Monday, October 5th. I was in the hospital bed and started on cervadil by 5:30PM. My water broke at 2:05AM, they quickly started me on potacin, and I had my epidural by 3 AM. Things progressed very slowly throughout the day on Tuesday. By 5:00PM on Tuesday, October 6th Dr. Bailey felt that a c-section would be the best way to get Keegan here. Jason and I agreed. We were so excited to meet Keegan after the long night and day. Jason was scrubbed in for the c-section by 5:30 PM. We were told that we would be meeting Keegan by 6PM. Our c-section was moved back twice because of emergency c-sections. At 9PM, I was wheeled into the surgery room, and Keegan was born at 9:09PM. During my labor, I had a fever that ranged from 99.5 to 101. They started me on antibiotics early Tuesday morning to help with the infection. After Keegan's delivery, they felt it would be best for me to stay on antibiotics until Friday morning. Poor Keegan also had to take antibiotics, and he had to stay on antibiotics until Sunday. It broke my heart every time I saw his little IV. Sunday at 12 he got his last antibiotic. We were literally waiting at the hospital room door to take him home.

Keegan is adorable and so sweet! It amazes me how you can love someone so fast with all of your heart. I could just stare at him all day. He cracks me up with all of the faces that he makes. I can't wait until we can capture all of them in pictures. Jason and I are looking forward to watching him grow. Although, I think it is going to break my heart each time I have to pack up a size of clothes that he has outgrown. We can't wait to watch his personality develop. We pray that Keegan will be a man of God.
We are so thankful to all of our family and friends that have supported us this week. We could not have done it without all of your help! Here are a few pictures from the hospital. I promise to post more soon.

Jason scrubbed in and ready for the c-section.

Keegan Scott's Room

We are excited to tell you that Keegan Scott's room is done with five weeks to spare. I started working on washing everything last weekend. My goal for this weekend is to finishing washing what we will need in the first few months. Here is a tour around his room.
We hope you like it because we love it!!

Keegan's dresser and changing table
The dresser and mirror were in Jason's room when he was growing up. We sanded it down, painted it brown, painted crackle over the brown, and finished it with a coat of blue paint.
"Play Like A Champion"
Jason wanted to put this quote over the door. We pray that Keegan will play like a champion in all that he does. Of course we hope that he loves sports and excels in them, but we also want him to approach life with an attitude of a champion. We hope this quote will always mean something special to Keegan.
Book Shelf, Toy Chest and Rocking Chair
This picture also gives you a good view of the paint and chair rail.
The toy chest was a great find at Canton.
The rocking chair has been in my father's family for a few generations. I am looking forward to rocking Keegan to sleep and reading him several books in the chair.

Here is an up close view of the shelf. This book shelf was in my dad's room when he was growing up. When my sister was little, he painted it pink and put it in her room. Jason and I painted it brown and added the blue crackle finish. All of the trophies are Jason's old trophies that he received playing soccer when he was growing up. Most of the soccer decorations were given to Jason from my sister and my mom over the past eight years.

The curtain and bouncer. I love how the curtain turned out.

Above the window, we have another great Canton purchase. The sign says, "Children are a gift from God. Psalm 127:3"

Table beside the crib
The table is another great Canton find. We painted it to match the dresser and shelf. Under the table is the start of our book collection. I hope that Keegan loves to read as much as I do.


Keegan's crib
I love how the bedding turned out. My mom did a wonderful job helping me pick out the fabrics and making the bedding. Thank you Gigi!!


"Every good and perfect gift comes from above." James 1:7
Here is an up close view of the scripture over the crib.

We used three different fabrics in the room. The fabrics are an ivory minky dot, brown polka dot, and khaki stripe. The bed skirt is the brown polka dot, the bumpers are khaki stripe on the outside and ivory minky dot on the inside. The quilt is brown polka dot on one side, ivory minky dot on the opposite side, and trimmed with the khaki stripe.

McKinney Baby Shower

Candace, Stephanie, Julie C, and Julie N threw us a wonderful baby shower in McKinney. I had so much fun! Several of my college friends, work friends and Jason's family got to come. I could not believe what a great turn out it was. We had wonderful food and the presents were amazing. We got several items that will be essential for us to be successful parents for Keegan, fun toys, adorable outfits, our stroller for the travel system, baby bouncer, diaper champ, and jogging stroller. I can't believe that we will be using all of these items soon. My goal for the week is to start washing blankets and clothes. The nursery is organized but we are waiting on one more thing before we take pictures. Here are some pictures from the shower.

Corsicana Baby Shower

We had a wonderful shower in Corsicana last weekend. Everything was perfect! I had so much fun spending time with my family and friends. Keegan is going to be so loved and spoiled. We had an amazing turn out at the shower, and we got so many wonderful presents. I can't wait to dress him in all of his adorable clothes, use the soft blankets and play with the toys. We also got several big items including the car seat, pack-n-play, bumbo, monitor and activity gym. I feel so much more prepared for his arrival now. Several people put together great baskets of all of the baby essentials like thermometers and medicine. My parents came down this past weekend to help us organize everything.Haley, Lindsay, Me, Jourdan and Brooke
Candace and Me
We started taking our birthing classes last week. We have already learned so much. I must say that I leave overwhelmed every time but I know the information will make me feel more prepared. I have started a to do list. I know poor Jason thinks I am crazy because the list is three pages long. We have been working hard to mark things off. The problem is that I keep adding to the list. We have a few more things to do in the nursery and it will be ready. I will post the final pictures in the next few weeks. I want to post the pictures when everything is done.
