I'm really terrible at sitting down to do this, but I really do have a desire to write down what's going on in our lives. I really want to start writing so that I can remember all those milestones that I've never written down before. Bryson inspired me to start tonight with a really sweet milestone.<br /></span><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">Tonight when I tucked Bryson into bed, we said our prayers, I told him I loved him and he told me he loved me for the FIRST time unsolicited!! I don't know how many times I've told him "say I love you" and he would just copy me. But tonight he said it himself. It really made my heart happy! </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">He really is getting to be such a big boy, and he's super active. His new thing this week is walking Tink. We've gone out for the past 3 nights and he loves it. He just walks/runs and laughs. It makes Hannah Claire laugh to see him walking Tink. I feel a little sorry for Tink because she gets jerked around a lot! It kind of makes me like Tink again because she's bringing so much joy to Bryson.</span></div><br /><p align="center"><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyxlQ0bxhch_-7FkH3N7Kj69rEWCkQ8eypeG3s7rrKkbPVtOJwwYyrAXl3WF9cVQ3jGxfyKQSHgsmQBvipZmQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p><div><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span></div><p align="center"><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Hannah Claire is also getting so big. She will be 10 months old in a couple of days. She is crawling everywhere. She's also already pulling up on stuff. I think she will be walking soon. She just had her 9 month check up and hasn't gained a lot of weight. The doctor told me to supplement 2 bottles of formula a day and to give her formula with meals. She's been sleeping so well since she's been getting the extra calories. She actually slept for 12 hours last night for the first time! Hopefully she will continue to sleep well. But of course she's running a fever today, so we may be up all night tonight. </span></p><p align="center"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxmmnntj6UijRqKFD5b7zkmEuwOw1Vc72Nqq7206UOsb6x_EZz32ggbm_7XymEAo0_MVPV9azqFzLII50IpvA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p><p><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Not only are our kids growing and changing, but a lot seems to be going on in mine and Marshall's life. Marshall is trying to finish up the last of his tests so that he can walk in May. He has to take one more test to finish! We are both excited for him to be down and to finally have that degree that he has worked so hard for. On my end, I am planing on going back to work in the fall. I have officially updated my resume and plan to attend a teacher employment fair in April. I have mixed feelings about going back. I truly feel that if it is God's will then He will provide a job and if not then the door will be closed. So we will see. </span></p><p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Also, we have recently bought a house!! Our closing date is May 5. We cannot wait to be out of our little town home. We have WAY out grown this tiny place. I guess it's a little bitter sweet. We have lived here for 6 years. This is where our family started and doubled in size. I will be sad to close this chapter of our lives, but can't wait to have the space that we really need. Here is a photo of our new place.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 190px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587078564201150738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQTC73gSGBka7QXkCOuuWczCpdbQ-q4AsNKuldIgI08Hki0I34be7xurE9z_Xn-4p0EZmUZXsJcPH_pmWaDIcXINBNYJurAuR5KOzkrZDYDjshurkDtPfg_p_Y6oWy8P5lgCc0o8cn2RA/s320/new+house.jpg" /></span></p><br /><p></p>The McCall Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01270083392983105289noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839477978901267061.post-41467009277558925412010-04-02T07:33:00.000-07:002010-04-02T07:47:46.257-07:00Bryson WalkingI didn't think this day would ever get here... Bryson is officially walking!!! Bryson now weighs 25 pounds and I weigh...well, lets just say I'm getting huge and I am having a lot of trouble carrying this big boy around. I may be the only mother in America who wanted their child to walk, but I couldn't wait. He is getting more and more brave every day and is now walking from room to room. He is so proud of himself and sometimes starts clapping after walking longer stretches. I have noticed that walking brings many bruises. Yesterday he walked right into the corner of a wall. He now has a big bruise on his forehead. Hopefully people won't think anything about my beat up child! I'm posting a video of him walking yesterday. It's not the best video because every time I try to get him in film, he either falls or starts crawling. But it's still cute and proof that he is finally walking!!<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxcnp0A3xpEiyfN09t26aVNWjg0ur3naE9Cf49rLvWvQT9SbfZgE0tP0b-1GBXVnO22IafUR4KO8I-Nno5yrw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>The McCall Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01270083392983105289noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839477978901267061.post-41386028804963501292010-03-20T07:50:00.000-07:002010-03-20T08:11:29.650-07:00A Day at the Park and Mustache MarchYesterday was one of the first beautiful days of Spring and the McCall's went to Falls Park to enjoy the weather. We let Bryson out of the stroller to walk and play in the grass. He immediately spotted a little girl about his age and started heading toward her. Of course she had food, so I think that was what he was really after. So, what is Mustache March and what does it have to do with a day in the park, you ask? Here's the story: A guy that Marshall works with came up with the brilliant idea of growing mustaches for the month of March. Marshall claims that this is a real thing that men do in March, but I have never noticed an abundance of mustached men in March. So on March 1 Marshall began growing a mustache. I have hated it from the beginning. Yesterday was March 18 and his mustache had fully grown in. I have to admit that I was a little embarrassed to be seen in public with him. Going back to our day in the park...I think he scared off the little girls parents that we met with his mustache! Needless to say Marshall shaved his mustache this morning, thank goodness! I didn't think I could make it 11 more days with a mustache man.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450733370159504338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGxWt__KM8T3tCYXp9wy783YCR4fHN9dXWthrVjldPjcEElDB50m7s75yA3vXFGAIstj5vAi8EC77bevBPDyWvVrLs3I7_WNLTVEA0SNQ4Kdk_5YvnwCDNdhVQ86-dhh5n2amtFc97ndc/s320/MARCH+2010+013.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450732843673767506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjodyf7NKPN5EK4OSUhoEDDTokRHaqv-9CdBhe3P2OSgNAx7FPTdeiXHzbKgWIR58_JWKN6UpDnb_Md0SN8u3Nzqxo-Bttc-OBidnD9Sg4Igu2494jyfK50qeqDsQQc3hgaaF7lF6Qm8dE/s320/MARCH+2010+010.JPG" /><br /><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450729804539241762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBDUWlLzxzpYKP_OT2HFwcP8SXRtj460MF-ggAwIm6-eliqT-4jrYR00G66yVIZuw595k9dO1xOQtKgZTCGrZyjhgecx-_l7r7PHFWYOgCnz3SYkJrtbj3yVVJfad_0AANHv8jZVnhVCw/s320/MARCH+2010+009.JPG" />The McCall Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01270083392983105289noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839477978901267061.post-59938157880040053612010-03-18T17:48:00.000-07:002010-03-19T07:57:09.149-07:00<div>So the last time I posted something on my blog was 7 months ago! I guess I haven't had a lot of interesting news to share. But now Bryson is 1 year old and really is doing and growing so much! He amazes me everyday with how he is changing and showing me how smart he is. He is starting to walk and becoming more brave with every step he takes. He is also starting to communicate (without saying anything) so well. He really understands things I tell him and ask him. I couldn't find his pacifier in his crib and I asked him "Bryson, where is your pacifier"? He pointed behind his crib, and sure enough there it was. Maybe I'm easily amazed by the things he says and does, but I'm loving every minute. Here are a few recent pics and videos of our little guy.</div><br /><br /><div></div>Bryson's First Birthday<br /><div><a href="http://localhost:53990/458346d780d89394a87c41fdf09a6941/image/91004e4e1545b056.jpg"></a></div><p><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxdZELfwRbbuxE1sWYYEZlNxtouC1vQPntVDMFgpStSfEpy1-oFyIyS-zvU9IBJEcJBTg4yXUS4yHDeeaFw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>Bryson walking</p><p></p><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9WL2wqaNvM35lXP2Ob1x396CN9cb4lVscJDOzI5WBo1WfDXLwhvtCk689heJMOxzmgfce05d8bGscINATvoGleALpesM56uQ8Rz_-PuxxCmOTa31Qh5N_JGGv2goKuUlVSG6386COC1M/s1600-h/MARCH+2010+098.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450357709982130450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9WL2wqaNvM35lXP2Ob1x396CN9cb4lVscJDOzI5WBo1WfDXLwhvtCk689heJMOxzmgfce05d8bGscINATvoGleALpesM56uQ8Rz_-PuxxCmOTa31Qh5N_JGGv2goKuUlVSG6386COC1M/s320/MARCH+2010+098.JPG" /></a></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Bryson playing at the mall.</p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmu7pCUAgP5rhvoCEG2fP5vCPt3DZcLIL5u3pJsGpknZs5qekooX4KjSkhUbYGbie2YInMup2ZkSTqrcA1PCva29xALkRfj5_jQB7vLiSM09SL7OIHI41Qo3PHInbHa_YC0fK977GnGq0/s1600-h/MARCH+2010+010.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450358662027936770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmu7pCUAgP5rhvoCEG2fP5vCPt3DZcLIL5u3pJsGpknZs5qekooX4KjSkhUbYGbie2YInMup2ZkSTqrcA1PCva29xALkRfj5_jQB7vLiSM09SL7OIHI41Qo3PHInbHa_YC0fK977GnGq0/s320/MARCH+2010+010.JPG" /></a></p>The McCall Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01270083392983105289noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839477978901267061.post-46473221983105337302009-08-03T19:20:00.000-07:002009-08-03T19:54:43.623-07:00Road Trip<div align="center">The week before last Bryson and I took a rode trip to Charleston with Allison and Emerson.

It was such a sweet ceremony. Matt (the pastor that married us) did the dedication. At the end all of our friends and family gathered around us to pray for our family. It was so amazing to be able to stand before God and our loved ones and dedicate to raise our son in a Godly home, where he will know how much we love God and God loves him! He was so quiet the entire time...until Matt started praying :)<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365921998539382834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimJqCzRkheAgvfbwnHD6R932OkzPOTAIZVM_CpqaJeH4RfhtyZKsJbLwngCrlMg_L9ySXP3aacxAyYWj30E56HPLfAbcw7N9LfF3Cf9WAc3D556qssaWLVRzZ6d5DO_9zRW2CXAtHJyGg/s320/025.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">Our family with Nana, Poppy, and cousin Haley (Marshall's parents and his sister's baby).<br /></div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365922018915018002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkuGCn69m_VVAM9oJly7F6GnCAuWc9uNKu3hIx9uc9HvJUzjNDp1DJV65NlZ6At5I3G9xu16bGDiIVCFvTS3BPEpqzTLRjSqBdX2famRShONqPERrWM3ZZzK1AZG5O4-UdIGX6qZDDIQ0/s320/026.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">Bryson with Poppa, Mimi, and Uncle Matt (my parents and brother).</div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365922010590930802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFZ2R7wDEk8yieVBO3sgrjt3VMHhx78Xo_DpBVp1CHZfdSGAnqnoUXqUPEU7Xx-Rpw-dWzVeDNsNZJuaVNLEAkYvSmzmxKUh3IiUEeeHlEEnJhOqHtCIXMkupT2YxqqbiaYAs0kkZlGjQ/s320/016.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"> After the dedication we had a get together at my parents house.

He doesn't seem to mind her though.</p><p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzgEZiSN_AMnTIJeI7gO990kRCtTOkR7zv_1-olocLxu8JgQ8JeVizarIq0cbwRz52_by80BCtXMvTKscl1PA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>The McCall Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01270083392983105289noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839477978901267061.post-21186323226174418592009-06-27T17:11:00.000-07:002009-06-28T18:31:37.209-07:00Marshall's Day Off<div><div><div>Today was Marshall's first Saturday off (that we've spent at home) in awhile. We had a great family day! I feel like lately it's been just <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Bryson</span> and me, or Marshall and me, not the three of us together. So, it was great to finally spend the day as a family. When we all got up we went to the Saturday Market in downtown <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Greenville</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bryson</span> really enjoyed being carried by his Daddy!</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352554873565591570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdg-2ohEsftI0H79Q33VOHMwUAHgg_lsLw8tlXYWedJt8Dfs9G9r0a9DuYxgt9DzgD6AsUmcFFV12kIHzbCrbCp44LitNBh4bIFmiag9EsfegAuUkOQKwCHLVloQ8OmGvsdZXSaW05Edg/s320/025.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>Later that afternoon we went to have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Bryson's</span> 3 month pictures made (at almost 4 months). We got some really cute pictures! Marshall got him to smile a few times. After his photo shoot he was all tuckered out. He fell asleep before we left. He is so sweet! We really had a great day together as a family.</div></div></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352167704769882434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETOEOvTX5G0yyGLLLZlnapHMgrYT324IHobZYwkeuNQP6los0eZCcXGas1vPPzgnJbC5CRJGfeDdpAgNJUASbGOqSfFqTdTDPr_Gx93beWLJflz2vmDECiiJtZOsyPd8F9G4JEuAUGWk/s320/026.JPG" border="0" /></p>The McCall Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01270083392983105289noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839477978901267061.post-2494791720327013742009-06-23T11:28:00.000-07:002009-06-23T11:39:00.224-07:00Marshall's First Father's Day<div align="center"> This past Sunday was Marshall's first Father's Day. We had a great day just being together. Bryson and I got Marshall a Wii for Father's Day. He totally deserved it! He is such an amazing Dad! This is a picture of Marshall and Bryson playing Wii together. Well, I was thinking it would be a fun bonding time for them one day.<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkAkpbxZYOnP5KkHg1SWy6IunjOxYSoWimm8F1I3OlkVzXV89yTACxkl2xaWQketh3kEOv62jluvAqNvtqcgYpdvhXeaCTuqi2ruIY9HEbBU5HQbzyy5JvIdNsATXh-JD7J4C9W-U7Cgk/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350592449600049954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkAkpbxZYOnP5KkHg1SWy6IunjOxYSoWimm8F1I3OlkVzXV89yTACxkl2xaWQketh3kEOv62jluvAqNvtqcgYpdvhXeaCTuqi2ruIY9HEbBU5HQbzyy5JvIdNsATXh-JD7J4C9W-U7Cgk/s320/004.JPG" border="0" /></a> That evening we went to Stax to celebrate Father's Day with Marshall's dad. Stax's is Roy's favorite restaurant. We had a great time. This is a picture of 3 generations of McCalls. This picture was taken before Bryson had a melt down.

During the afternoon we play in Bryson's room.

So much has happened since he was born. He has grown so much. He now weighs 13 pounds! He smiles all the time and just started laughing last week. He thinks Marshall is very funny, but has not laughed at me yet. Mom must not be funny. He can also hold his head up so well. Marshall and I think that he might roll over soon. Last night he worked for a few minutes to roll over on his side in his crib. Bryson is such a good baby. We have been able to go several places with him. We went to the Biltmore with my grandparents and we've been to Charleston twice.

He has also been doing more Grand Openings with Chick-fil-A. He just returned from one in Gaffney. I have just packed up my classroom for the last time. I am officially no longer a teacher. It was definitely bittersweet to leave Skyland! It was sad to leave, but I am so excited to be home with Bryson. I will be starting work part-time with Marshall at Chick-fil-A over the next month. I think that covers all that is going on with us right now.

But I felt like we didn't have a lot to share with people. Now we do! Bryson Marshall McCall is here! He was born on March 3, 2009 at 1:56 a.m. through an unexpected C-section. He weighed 8 lbs. and 15 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. Everyone was suprised with how big he was! <div><div><div><br /><div><br />Everything about giving birth was different than what we had expected or prepared for! On Monday, March 2nd I thought that my water had broken around 8 am. Marshall and I headed for the hospital in the snow and icey roads!!! It took us a little longer to get there, but we finally made it there.

It was so amazing! We are having a little boy (it is pretty obvious when you look at some of the pics). I didn't realize how many things they check for during the second ultrasound. They checked him out from head to toe, literally. They measured his head and abdomen. They checked his heart, his brain, his spin, his feet to see if he had clubbed feet, his face to see if he had a cleft palate, his fingers and toes to see if they were webbed. They also checked his kidneys, bladder, and the umbilical cord. They said that everything was normal and that he was a healthy baby! We still have no idea what we are going to name our little boy. When we do decide, we are going to keep it a secret. We thought we should surprise everyone with something!<br /><div><div><div><div><br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1qQJS7rbHyzuoFZ_Bm9n_dctJ55fNoSFcbS1oZwOFOYwER7XIjXUfb7-UGRziBYAeQEiaFJjTT7IGdyHAE8fqxmc3ZcVVmXs4jTXWSU3XR8b8CRg7X8xi0a5pHgXEW4fRM-HJXHmB35s/s1600-h/BABY_1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259387748576407442" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1qQJS7rbHyzuoFZ_Bm9n_dctJ55fNoSFcbS1oZwOFOYwER7XIjXUfb7-UGRziBYAeQEiaFJjTT7IGdyHAE8fqxmc3ZcVVmXs4jTXWSU3XR8b8CRg7X8xi0a5pHgXEW4fRM-HJXHmB35s/s320/BABY_1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><p align="left"></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>This is a profile view.

It was amazing. We heard the baby's heartbeat and actually saw the baby rollover to face us! They couldn't tell this soon if it was a boy or a girl. We will find out in 8 weeks when we go for the second ultrasound. They said the baby was healthy and had a healthy heartbeat. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off of me when I actually saw that there was really a baby and a heartbeat. Marshall was very excited, too. He actually teared up a little when he saw our baby! Here are the first pictures of our little baby!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238935983698161618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_UivLHnNlytmB9sAYu6MinWtdYq33hzL-Yrjw2O0B_cJi4c4S8nK6cYv6tsKmuPne47h-FgQQBGqipdLTKYRiH0LJCx008w8V8qMrP1tNfBRQ1oo6rYYUziBwJGt25WzbyuPXm6UaIgk/s320/baby+mccall+001.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFiEF34CuY5rWKK6pJ8Saq2g3xDc0YIwOdyGIOqNOz-uBnRD0tx3nNUH_90Xgb-OUi_8qdO4bFtXeMXFLLqAbcfKR3hCem2Ft0sWfBXxtNCSX6nlzRktXF3Hau1Z2f5oUGwzE04H4BXwE/s1600-h/baby+mccall+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238936323988786866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFiEF34CuY5rWKK6pJ8Saq2g3xDc0YIwOdyGIOqNOz-uBnRD0tx3nNUH_90Xgb-OUi_8qdO4bFtXeMXFLLqAbcfKR3hCem2Ft0sWfBXxtNCSX6nlzRktXF3Hau1Z2f5oUGwzE04H4BXwE/s320/baby+mccall+004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is a 4D image of the baby.

Right now I am in my 9th week. Everything seems to be going great so far. I'm feeling a little sick pretty much all of the time, but never actually getting sick. My first ultrasound will be August 25, which will be my 12th week. We can't believe how fast it's happening! The due date for Little McCall is March 7. Marshall and I feel that the timing couldn't be more perfect. I'll be almost finished with my first trimester by the time my kids come back to school (and hopefully finished with feeling nauseous all the time!). Then, I will only have to go back to work for about a month to finish up the school year after the baby comes! Marshall and I are so excited and can't wait to meet our little baby. Please be praying for us as we prepare to be parents (yikes!) and for our little growing baby over the next 7 months. Look for our next post after our ultrasound!</span>The McCall Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01270083392983105289noreply@blogger.com0
