Baby Up Date!!!!

We had our Dr.s appointment today and he said that nothing has changed since our  last visit so continue your bed rest .  That was good news for me. Yahoooooo... I'm a little bored of the bed rest.  The nice sisters from my ward are taking good care of Joshua and me.. Thank you ward sisters . The Dr. said the baby weights around 4 and half pounds and we got to hear his heart beat today for like 10 minutes it sounded strong. Are first goal was to make it to 34 weeks which were almost there on Friday. Now are second goal is to make 36 weeks. So please keep us in your prayers.

Happy 2nd Birthday Joshua

Look at my Big Boy. Who would have ever thought he would make it to be two years old today and turn into a little stinker at the same time.

Here is a look back at Joshua's first birthday which we thought was a miracle and blessing that he reached this mile stone in his life and ours. Look how chubby he was.
Here is Joshua Jeffrey Brand about an hour after he was born March 19th ,2007 @ 1:29 at 25 weeks weighing in at 1lb. 8 oz.

We are so greatful to everyone who helped support us and kept us in your prayers.

We love you Joshua with all our heart Happy 2nd Birthday!!

What's New With Joshua Brand !

I just wanted to catch everyone up on Joshua . He Is about to turn 2 years old on March 19th. I never thought that day would come after how he started his life here on earth. Joshua loves to say the word NOOOOOOO to everything even when he wants something. It's cute because it's just not no it is always NOOOOOOOOOOO. He says a handful of words these days. Apple , No. Mommy,Car, Sissy, Cheese, Strawberry, bye, up,down, more, plane, bubbles, all done and daddy some times. He usually calls him mommy. Joshua love to eat just about anything. These are some of his favorites right now. Cheese and apples and pickles and salt & vinegar chips crazy kid. He is climbing anything and everything he can .He is all boy.

My Little Tom Cruise...

February Fun Times!!!!

Well here I am at 26 weeks just one week past having Joshua. Now I am 29 weeks and big if you ask me who never got to be this size ever with Joshua. This little guy is just moving like crazy that is a big difference from Joshua who had little room to move ,so I'm guessing i will be having another climber on my hand like his big brother.Mommy & Joshua Keline & Jake Kempton and JoshuaJake Kempton & Joshua Brand done decorating there Valentine's Day Cookies. The sprinkles were the big hit on the cookies on the floor all over the table. Good times.What a fun idea I had for to two year olds to decorate cookies. I think Joshua can do anything because hes a big boy. I'm just crazy some times!!!!

Fun Times In January !!

First cousin sleep over in January. Hannah and Joshy got to have 2 days of nothing but fun .I think Joshy had more fun picking on Hannah with his famous hug take down move he has.

This is Joshua being band from his room now that he can climb his changing table and book shelve. We are working on taking everything out so he can play in his room.

This was dinner with his buddy Adam from the NICU. Joshua thought he was a jumping on toy. Adam may never come back to play again (j/k ). Joshua and Adam are one day apart and will be 2 in march . That is so hard to believe. Our little Miracles.
