Thought we'd add some new content to this site. So here are some pictures from the weekend of Tanner's baptism and JTs eagle court of honor. Savanna, loved having her grandma and grandpa "sleep over". We also had a great time watching the Superbowl with the Parrys. Hope everyone is doing well.
Merry Christmas everyone! We wish we could have seen you all but things worked out better for us this way. We were able to finally get to Aberdeen on Christmas Day at about 4:30. We were excited to tell everyone our good news but there weren't many there. So......we'll see who actually reads this blog. We are expecting a baby in July and are very excited! Just wanted to share our excitement with you! love you all! Lisa and Paul
With 2 weeks to go, the doctor told us that the baby could come at anytime, so we started getting things ready. The house got cleaned room by room, things got put into storage and taken to the DI, baby clothes were brought out, we got a cradle, and thought alright, any time would be great! And we waited, counted contractions, went for long walks and waited some more. With one week to go, the doctor was kinda surprised we were there, but still said we could go at any time. So we went for more long walks, ate spicy food, counted more contractions, and waited some more! On his due date, we went to the doctor again, and he was really surprised we were there. He said he expected us to call during Thanksgiving dinner, and he even stayed in town so he would be here, but the baby was stubborn and decided to wait. Luckily the doctor took pitty on me and decided to get us in and induce us the day after we were due. So we went home and made a few more preperations and got ready. On Wednesday morning at 8:30 a we got a phone call from the hospital asking if we could be there by 9 to get started. So we rushed to get ready, got Lil’ Beastie taken care of and went to the hospital, only to wait some more! The couple that was scheduled after us went into labor on their own that morning so, since we werent in labor we got to wait. About 10:15 we got settled into our room, and after a couple rounds of musical nurses, we got things started. 6 hours later, Lil’ Man made his appearance! He was born at 4:29 PM weighing in at 8 lbs 13 oz and measuring 22 in long. He was wide awake and wanted to eat first thing. We are really glad he is finally here. He has been a great baby so far. He eats really well, sleeps well, and even stays awake for more than 5 minutes at a time. Lil’ Beastie was not really sure what to think about him at first, but now she loves to give him kisses, and snuggle him. She even likes to pretend to nurse her new doll “Happy Baby” while mom nurses Lil’ Man. She is going to make a great older sister.
