Sweet and Sassy

Sweet and Sass!!! That's what these two are made of! :)




I love this picture of Lorelei...it pretty much sums her up! She likes to have fun and is FULL of SASS!!! She's my very own Eloise...except, unfortunately, she does not get to live in the Plaza! ;)

What a sweetie pie. Drew is such a rule follower. He likes to know exactly what he's supposed to do, or how to play, or what is expected of him. This quality is going to make him a great man, just like his daddy. I'm glad Lorelei and Brannen have him as a big brother. I'm sure the two of them will stress him to the limit, but he'll be a great role model and advisary! :)

Branny Boo!!

I can't believe my baby is 9 months old!!! He is the sweetest thing! All my babies have been sweet, happy babies...but there is just something about him. He is so content just to "BE". He acts like it is the best thing in the world just to be noticed. Here are some pictures from his six month shoot.

He is now crawling, babbling, shaking his head no-no, and pulling up. He also had surgery this month. He was a trooper to say the least!! :)

Drew's last day of 3's and Brannen's Baptism

Brannen was baptised in May. I didn't get any pictures of the gown on my camera! boo!!! But here he is at lunch afterwards in the outfit that Chad wore at his baptism. :)


Faraway Grandma and all her babies :)



Drew "graduated from the 3's at FUMC!!! I can't believe he's that old! He will going to pre-k next year. I know he will absolutely LOVE it!! I think he is one of those that is born for school.

Father Daughter Dance :o)

Last night Chad and Lorelei went to the Father/Daughter Dance. I think they had a lot of fun. We went to FHCC to take pictures first...then they headed to the dance. After the dance was over they went to dinner at the country club with several other fathers and daughters. What a sweet memory for Chad and Lorelei....and mommy :)

Brannen Prosser

Welcome to the world David Brannen Prosser!!

Brannen entered the world at 3:58 on February 9, 2011. He weighed 9lbs 0oz and was 21.5 inches long. I was very ready to meet this sweet baby. We didn't find out what we were having so that made it even more exciting! :) I was determined not to get an epidural which made induction not a possibility unless I really had to. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle the contractions that come along with pitocin without an epidural. At 39 weeks I was still 2cm dilated...Dr. Hiller decided to help things along by stripping my membranes. I expected to go into labor that night. The next morning I woke up and realized I was NOT in labor. I was so disappointed. I sulked most of the morning at school...until right before lunch my water broke!!! My principal panicked. I think he was afraid I was going to drop the baby in my classroom. ;) My friend, Amy, drove me to the hospital to meet Chad and then she stayed with us during labor and sort of acted as my doula...helping me through contractions etc...

At 3:15 I started having contractions that were super painful and didn't ease off. At this point I turned to Chad and said that if it was going to go on like this for much longer I would have to have an epidural. Literally not two seconds later I announced, as I turned over and threw off the covers, that I HAD TO PUSH!!!! Dr. Hiller rushed in along with the nurses...I pushed three times and Brannen was HERE!!!

I wasn't crying in this picture. My face and eyes are so red from the intensity of the contractions and from pushing. I meant serious business!! :)



He has the signature McClain mouth...
In three years when someone asks me if this is Brannen or Lorelei I will have to look at the date to tell.


Family of 5!!! Whoa!



My sweet girl meeting Brannen for the first time. Drew wasn't interested in pictures. He was promised that he'd get to go to Susu's house and he was ready to go!



Sweet baby Brannen. He has been so sweet! He is so laid back and easy. What a sweet addition to our family :)

38 weeks

In the next 14 days we will meet this little one!! :)

Snow!!!!! :)

It snowed this morning in Statesboro! You can't really tell from the pictures, but it was actually really coming down for a while. BIG snowflakes that you could catch on your tongue. He are some pictures from this morning.

This is my pregnant snow picture. Too bad you aren't able to see the snow very well...it just looks like a bad pregnant picture


Drew and Lorelei in the snow...


Drew and Kennedy trying to catch the snowflakes on their tongues.
