I never questioned that I'd become a Mom, it was something I always knew I wanted to be and would be. What I did question was becoming an Aunt. The thought of being an Aunt seemed to be elusive for me. My brother, although we all he would be a great Dad, just didn't seem to be on the track for parenthood. That has all changed, and we couldn't be happier. JD and Kenna have made me an Aunt, and given my kids a cousin!
JaDaKenn Saxon Johnson was born January 30th, 10 weeks early of his April 9th due date, due to complications. He was 16 inches long and weighed 3 lbs 5 oz. He was rushed to the NICU right after being born, and he's still there, growing stronger every day. The doctors and nurses that helped deliver him joked that he came out "punching", and he's been fighting to get bigger and stronger every day. 
I feel such a stong connection to this little guy, and I haven't even been able to hold him yet. I can't wait to squeeze him and kiss up on him, but I know that will have to wait, so for now I'm happy to just sit, take in the sight of him, and watch him grow.
Oh, and Uncle Ronnie already loves him too, just look at his smile.
Grow Saxon, Grow!
***Update....as of today he weighs 3 lbs 15 & a half oz and is 17 3/4 inches***

Babies are such a gift. A gift that fills part of our lives that we didn't even know needed some growth. I remember you talking a bit about your brother and Kenna, i'm so glad they get this experience. An experience of their own, not to be taken away by anyone! Your brother is lucky to have a sister like you. I have a very close relationship to my brother so I can relate to your excitement.
Congratulations Aunt Brandy! You will be a perfect aunt :) What a sweet baby...he looks perfect! Congrats to little JD too...I can't imagine him being a grown up...but it looks like he did a good job with that sweet boy!
