Our Newest Addition!!!

Jani Sue was born on Saturday, October 31st at 6:13 am. She was 8 lbs, 13 oz, and 21 inches long. She has a head full of dark hair and is a great little baby!! Here's a teaser photo...I'll post more later!

Eviction Notice

Okay LP...your time is up. You need to decide to make your appearance. There are too many people just waiting for your arrival and I am running out of room at the inn. What do we need to do to convince you that it's time?? Diamonds? New clothes? A promise that I will always think about yes instead of saying no when you ask for something? You got it...now come out!! :)

Cue the Jeopardy Theme Song...

Doug and I are patiently waiting. No...we have not had the baby. No...we do not know when she's coming. We both hear this song constantly in our head. Doug was also saying today that everything he has read in his baby books has proven to be true. All the questions, comments, and stares we get when we're out. We haven't reached our due date yet so we're not going too crazy. I think it's bothering everyone else more than it's bothering us!! But we know she will come eventually....until then....do do do do do do dooooooo! (it's really hard to write out that song!!!)

Tailgating Panther Style

This weekend was UNI's Homecoming. While the football game didn't quite end up the way we had hoped (it was pathetic to say the least) we had a great time tailgating!! Doug and I really wanted to be able to do it right because it was the last tailgate we would be having without carting a child along!! Though we were missing a few friends, a lot of us came out to brave the cold and enjoy some yummy chili, courtesy of my dad, and other yummy snacks!! Doug and I are actually excited to bring LP tailgating in the future....though Mom says she'll just stay home with her because it could be too cold :) Here are a few pictures to document our fun!

Did you swallow a pumpkin??

I sure look like it!!! Doug and I wanted some pics with a pumpkin because LP will be born so close to Halloween (or hopefully not too close!!). Here are a few of our pics...

The countdown is on...

We are past full term. We are days away from having our baby! Our days as just us are numbered in the teens! Can you believe that? Now we wait.....and wonder when this baby is going to make her entrance into the world. To keep you entertained while we wait...here are a few of our belly pics that weren't on the blog :)

Shopping Online...

is deadly when you have a baby on the way. Everything is so cute!! When Doug and I were walking through the mall the other day, he switched from my right side to my left. I questioned him (confused because he usually does this if we're out walking, to get between me and the road so he'd get hit first if a car came at us!!) and he told me that his baby book told him to do it at the mall so that I wouldn't be tempted to walk into the stores!! Well, I'll show him...he can't get between me and my laptop :). Here is my latest purchase...


These are stickers I purchased from Etsy that you put on a onesie as you take pictures throughout the first 12 months. There is one for every month and I am just in love with them!!! The seller is pickysticky and she has some pretty cool stuff. If you haven't shopped on etsy.com, I highly recommend it!!!

And It's Done!!!! (almost)

With very little left to finish, here is the nursery...
