Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Okay so my husband is the sweetest guy EVER! Well, I am sure that all you other ladies would disagree and give that title to your husband but just trust me...:) So, he let me sleep in, which is a HUGE treat with the new baby. Then, above is what I woke up to. He and Bostyn got this all ready for me. The theme if the day was of course... 3. He got me three of my favorite drinks (Chocolate Milk, Frappucino (I know I shouldnt be drinking it), and Smart water. Then there were 3 whit roses, and 3 breakfast pastries.... okay so maybe they were dessert but I ate them all for breakfast. He also made me the cutest card. We are really into movies... so the front of it is a movie cover. We got to hang out all day long and then that night we left the kids with my mom and sister and went to dinner at Red Rock downtown. Poor Brad, I cried the whole way there because I missed the kids so much and I really didnt want to do anything after but come home because I missed them so much. Thanks Arlee and Mom for keeping them. What would I do without you guys? Oh well, I guess Brad cant complain after our football anniversary last year he cant complain. Thanks Brad for 3 wonderful years. I really do love you more than you will ever know. We have an exciting year coming up and I am so glad that I get to spend every minute of it with you as my husband and best friend. Thanks for all you do for our family.

It's officially unofficial, and official again!

Okay so after long hours of deliberation, Brad and I decided to change the babies name. He just doesnt look like a Sawyer. We couldnt agree on anything that we both thought fit him. Brad is a movie fanatic so he decided that we could look on the back of DVDs in the hospital. We found one that we both like........ Fynnegan (Fynn) Ramsey McDaniel. We are so crazy about him and he completes our little family.... well at least for now!

Thanks to all the visitors!

Arlee did such a good job taking pictures of all of our visitors while we were in the hospital. This is only about half of the people... but I am still sorting through pictures. Thanks everyone for all of your support with our new baby boy. I am still resting up and all is well. I forgot how much work babies are, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I love being a mom and love my two little munchkins more than words can describe. Without them and Brad my life would definitely be incomplete! Thanks again for the visits at the hospital, and if you didnt make it... you will have to just come to the house and meet the cutest little baby in the world in person. :)

Welcome to the WORLD...LITTLE GUY!

Well, it's official! We hve finally named the newest member of the McDaniel family. Sawyer Fynnigan McDaniel (we will just call him Fynn) has been the sweetest little angel. He seriously doesnt cry, and basically just eats, poops, and sleeps. I thought that I was going to have such a hard time with a boy but I already love him so much and Brad just cant get enough of him. It is so nice to have all of his help. For those of you who have had a C-section you know how much help is required and Brad has been absolutely wonderful!

The details: I had been scheduled to have an election day baby (Nov 4th) due to his breech position for about 10 days. I was fine with it because I already knew what to expect and breech babies are just so perfect because they dont have to go through labor. Anyway, we got to the hospital, a little late because of the weather and I was of course emotional. The nurse comes in and is prepping me and hooks me up to the Ultra Sound Machine to check him. Just my luck, he had flipped around and was now head down. At this point, Brad and I had to make a decision, do we continue with the C-section, or do we leave and go into spontaneous labor. After about an hour of tears and talking through with both my mom and Brad we decided to go forward with the C-section. I am so glad that I did because my doctor would have let me go two more weeks and I would have had to go through labor when he already weighed 8lbs 7ozs. Then, after all of that they tell me that my mom cant come back because they only allow one person back, that led to another river of tears. I was sad she wasnt able to come back but she was right there when we got out of the surgery. Thanks Mom, Love ya!

Bostyn just loves him, and wants to constantly hold him when she is here. My mom and Arlee have been keeping her so I know she is in good hands. I got her the 2 newest Disney movies as a gift from the baby and she is convinced that they were in my tummy with the baby. She is going to be such a good big sister and helper. I can hardly wait to get home and see her in action. Thanks Ar for keeping her, I owe ya BIG time!

I have to share this story with everyone. For all of you who know Brad, know that he has a one-of-a-kind sense of humor especially in tense and uneasy situations. The name of the nurse who was prepping me for my surgery was Polly. I was sitting on the bed after she had left and Brad says, "Hey Danica, I have been fighting the urge all morning to ask our nurse if she wants a cracker." I, of course laughed all morning and the joke carried on through the whole day. Thanks to everyone who has called, messaged, sent stuff, etc.

For all of you who were worried about me loving a boy as much as I love Bostyn........ dont be. He is the apple in my other eye! :)

HE IS HERE!!!!!

Arlee Here - It's Official...BABY BOY McDANIEL arrived this morning! That's right, he still doesn't have a name, well as of 1:45 when I left the hospital! I think it will be decided on by this afternoon! One thing that has been decided is the first photos of the baby will not be sold to paparazzi for the next issue of People or US Weekly. LUCKY YOU!!!! :) You can find them here on the blog as soon as Danica has access to an air card (Maybe tonight when I go visit again). :) Danica is doing ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS and BBM(BABY BOY MCDaniel) is doing GREAT as well. Brad on the other hand is still trying to get used to the fact that he will be sleeping on the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE HOSPITAL bed for the next few nights. :) Although Brad does not think so right now, the baby looks EXACTLY like BRADLEY :) I took Bostyn up to see her new little brother...without...WELL ALMOST WITHOUT any hesitation, she was ready to take him home immediately! WHAT A CUTE FAMILY!!! CONGRATS MCDANIELS!!!! HE"S A KEEPER!!!

It's GO time!!!

Here I am in all my beautifulness the morning of. I didnt realize how swollen and huge I was until I look at these pics. Oh well, at least it all goes away and I get this cute little guy out of it!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

We had such a fun Halloween this year! As you can see my mom hosted a fun Halloween party, although much of our night was spent out gathering candy with the kiddies. I thought Bostyn looked so cute, and she would definitely agree. She and the mirror were best friends that night. She couldnt get over how cute she looked. We had Drew this year, which is always fun, he brings alot of holiday energy with him which makes things more exciting. We were also able to have my sisters kids here, so there was a full house. For all of you who know my mom, know she is always good for a laugh. When kids would come to the door, she had a bowl full of potatoes and onions. It was so funny to see kids reactions, and what they would choose. Brad decided last minute to dress up and went as a little kid. He said about half way through the night that he felt like a pervert and wanted to come change. I was kind of a poor sport and just drove the car because I was so huge! My grandpa dressed up as a woman to win a Halloween costume contest at work..... it worked and now he is 100.00 richer. Halloween was so much fun... I cant wait till next year so we can dress the little guy up.
