What’s in a name…

September 8, 2010

After much thought and consideration, Robert and I decided to name our baby boy Maxwell Banks Brown, as you know.  Maxwell is both my grandfather’s name as well as my father’s middle name.  I’ve always loved it and was so glad that Robert liked it too.  It means so much to me to that this baby has a piece of my dad in his name.  We considered several other names but none of them seemed right.  He’s definitely a Maxwell!

Banks is Robert’s middle name as well as his Great Grandmother’s maiden name.  We love having a part of his family in the baby’s name as well.  I remember how much I loved Robert’s full name (Robert Banks Brown) when I first met him.  I’ve always thought it is such a classic, great name and I’m glad that we have a similar name for our son.

Here is Maxwell Banks with Stephen Maxwell and Robert Banks.  Such a good looking bunch!

Can’t wait for Maxwell to meet his Great Granddaddy, Max!  Here’s a picture of him with Maxwell’s cousin, Delaney, a few month ago.

And here’s another cute one from last week with Dad.

Also, yesterday was my first day home alone with the baby and look what I figured out how to use!

Look Ma!  No hands!

In case you were wondering, Robert did come home for lunch and took the picture.  I’m not talented enough to be photog and subject  by myself without a mirror!

Would love to hear from you! 9 Comments

We are family…

September 7, 2010

Maxwell had some fun visitors this past weekend.  GJ and Daddo were still here to hang out and Lou Lou, Grandaddy and Aunt Messy stopped by for a visit.

Maxwell loved meeting his Aunt Messy for the first time.

and hanging out with GJ and Daddo.

He also got to Skype with his Uncle Keath, Aunt Jen and Cousin Delaney.  He can’t wait to meet the rest of his family soon!

Roll Tide!

September 6, 2010

Happy one week Maxwell!

Maxwell had a doctor’s appointment on Friday of last week and got a good report.  He weighed 7 lbs even but the doctor feels confident he’ll be back up to his birth weight and beyond in no time.

As I’m sure many of you know, there was a little football game this past Saturday…

While we were in the hospital, Robert made a trip to the gift shop to make sure Maxwell had the appropriate attire for his first Alabama game!  Roll Tide!

He couldn’t wait to put on his outfit and watch the game…can’t you just see the excitement in his face?!  🙂

Robert quickly taught him to say ROOOOOOL TIDE!!

We were all ready for the big game!

Thank goodness it was a victory for the Tide over San Jose State!

The Big Day

September 2, 2010

Robert and I got up to head to a doctor appointment on Monday morning, August 30 – one day past my due date.  However, when my water broke at 7:15 am, we knew we would be heading to the hospital instead of the doctor!  Here’s how the MOST EXCITING DAY of our lives all went down…

Ready to head to the hospital and have a baby!

Had to stop and get some breakfast first because there would be no more food for me all day!

After also stopping at Starbucks for Robert, going back to the house to double check that we locked the front door (we did), we finally arrived at the hospital and I got all hooked up to all kinds of monitors and IV’s and got to wear several lovely bracelets…

By 9:00 am, I was definitely in labor.  The epidural came late morning and that’s when things were nice…

The next several hours I just rested until it was “Go” time at 5:15.  Maxwell was born at 5:48 so he didn’t take too long to make his entrance.  It was just such a great day and we were so excited to meet our baby boy!!

Just a few minutes old…

All of his stats…

Proud Dad!!  Notice the time on the clock.  Maxwell is only 20 minutes old!

Very proud mom!

Adorable Maxwell Banks Brown!

Happy family of three…

Robert’s parents, Lou Lou and Granddaddy were there to see him right after he was born.

And my parents, GJ and Daddo, made it to the hospital just about an hour later after the fastest drive from Florida they’ve ever made!

A day we will never forget!
