Baby Brode!

I know I need to stay updated, but it sure has been crazy!

The days are ok, there are visitors here and there but Brode continues to sleep.

The nights... not so much. He for sure has days and nights mixed up. He insists on staying awake between diapers and feedings. Today is his first doctors appointment so we're going to ask lots of questions and see if there is any way we can make him more comfortable! He also had his first sponge bath from daddy and I last night, that was quite the experience.

Besides the extremely long nights he is as adorable as can be! He has a lot of his daddy in him!

Matt and I are doing well. Extremely tired, but hanging in there.

Everyone asks why there are pictures of everyone else and Brode and none of mommy and baby... so here is one even though its not the most attractive.


More pictures to come later! I need to get ahold of grandpas camera!

Come and Gone

Well my due date has come and gone. 4 days past and it's all still the same as 2 weeks ago. We decided today if nothing happens tomorrow or Thursday I'm going in Friday morning to get things started. That seems like a long time to wait (when I'm this bored), but yet so close knowing this weekend I'll have a son! She said Friday at dinner time we should have a little boy in our arms!

I'm nervous and scared beyond all belief but overly excited all at the same time!

We will be sure to get pictures up as soon as we get home and things settle down!

Waiting time!

14 days... 2 weeks... it seems so long, yet so close! It seems crazy that I could have a little boy any day! His room got the final finishing touches the past couple days so we're all ready to go! I don't have much else to write about so I'll just put a couple pictures up from random summer events and be on my way!

So all you LaCrosse girls that got the tour a couple weeks ago probably remember this room a mess (one of the longer stops on the tour), but its my new room now:

I dont know how much I like it yet, its a lot smaller than my old room, but I dont think Brode would have liked the nasty red walls, and I do terribly miss my big down comforter.... but it'll do!

This is my wonderful M that I made! Now that all of the baby stuff is done and my green frog didn't match the new room, I took on a junk drawer art project! The collage consists of random things throughout my life that wont serve any purpose now besides artwork above my bed... but Daddy still needs to hang it up for me! It was somewhat sad to make it knowing that everything is over and all those great memories are long gone... but lots of new ones to come!

Next room: Brode's!! I know you've all by dying to see it, along with come over and help organize it! I thought it was going to take forever to get all 3 rooms done, but it only took 3 days to have them all complete! We just need to get the rocking chair from the basement and we're all set for the little guy!....

There is even a bed for Matthew so I can get some sleep in my own room! Yay!

After all this cleaning and hard work my parents decided they'd reward themselves... so this just showed up at our house one day:

I had to find a picture online because it's NEVER home... they love it too much and drive it everywhere! Gotta love it though... no more mom mini-van!

Libby (right) got to visit her sister Annie a few times this summer, but they dont like each other, hence the extremely forced picture! They were great troopers though because Claire and I loved it!

Libby also had her 7th birthday. I wrapper her present... she found it and wouldnt give up on getting it early....

The only other summer happenings that have pictures are the baby shower and camping... but I am not able to get them on here... so thats about all ive got for now! We'll just have to wait until Brode to get another update and more pictures!

Have a great weekend!
