Little Santa Baby!

Does this outfit look familar? Heidi recently visited us and brought Brooklyn tons of clothes. This outfit included. I Believe there are pictures with Siven and Hailey in this same santa suit. Tried to get a better picture but Brooklyn was not having it. I don't think she likes hats to much. Happy holidays to all. More updates to come.

Bath time

Here is little Brooklyn after her bath. Her umbilical cord finally came off so now we are able to give her real baths. She has only had two real baths. First one she cried the whole time. Second bath she loved. We will see how the third goes.

Our Angel.......

Just a couple pictures of Brooklyn with her eyes open. She's absolutely amazing. So far. (Knock on wood!) She sleeps all the time. Thanks to mom and all my sisters advice I am starting to get the hang of nursing. We are loving every second with her. We are just so blessed. Words can't describe. There will be many more pictures posted!

Brooklyn Marie's arrival......

November 20, 2007 our little angel came into this world. 7 pounds 7 oz. 18.5 inches. We can not stop staring at her. She is so perfect.

Waiting......

This is a couple minutes before I was wheeled in to the operating room. It all happened so fast.

The last minutes of our 9 month miracle.

I'm Due Today!!!!!!

Hello all! Well the the closets are organized, the laundry done, refrigerator cleaned, carpets cleaned, tile mopped and then washed by hand (because mopping twice just wasn't enough!), bathrooms cleaned. Nothing else to do just wait for our baby. Well the wait is over. Had a Dr. appointment today in which we found out our little girl has turned and is in the breech position. So tomorrow at noon we will be having a scheduled C-Section. Still a little in shock but I know it will be for the better. I am glad I haven't had to go through any painful contractions or any pain what so ever. I feel really good except for a couple aches in pains from carrying all this extra weight around. As far as pregnancy has gone I have loved it.

Justin's Parents will be here tomorrow awaiting the arrival of their first grandchild. We are all very excited to meet her. Justin and I will have our phones on or you can also call the hospital. Don't think you will bug us by calling. We will be very happy to hear from anyone. I now have to be in the hospital 48 hours as long as everything goes routinely. So plenty of time for talking.

So tomorrow little Baby H will have her name (we hope)! Looking forward to hearing from everyone. We love you!

The before picture........

This isn't a very good picture of the room but its and idea of what color it was before. Here is also a picture of everything we had to take out of the room.

Think Pink!!!!

Here are pictures of our baby girls room. Justin and Kari worked really hard on it last Sunday. Justin painted it, only took 4 coats of paint. Kari helped tape off the stripes and I think Kari and Linda (Justin's mom) came up with the idea to use ribbon to make it perfect Stripes. Ted (one of Justin's dads) did the crown molding which isn't pictured and the chair rail. It came out so much better then we imagined. Now I can't wait to get her in it.

34 weeks

This is me after one whole week of bedrest! I have one more week left. Had a total of three weeks. I feel really good which makes it hard to stay laying down. Sleeping is tough though. Since I don't do anything during the day its hard to get to sleep and stay asleep.

30 Weeks

By popular demand my BELLY!!!! I had Justin take a quick picture. I did one for my sister's with the bare belly!!! ;) According to the ultrasound tech Baby H is almost head down. She is kinda diagonal. Her head is by my hip and her knees are resting underneath my ribs. Ouch!!!! Off to bed now. Will try and get more pictures up another time!

Baby Hanke

Now that we are officially starting our family I feel like we should have a blog! Yea!!! On Monday Justin, Mom (Dolly,Cathi), Kari and I went to Las Vegas to have a 4d ultrasound. It was so amazing seeing our baby. We had an hour long session. We got a DVD, and a CD with tons of pictures on it. In a lot of the pictures her hand was in front of her face or the umbilical cord was blocking part of her. One of the pictures her foot is on her forehead. She is very limber. We are so excited for her arrival. But patiently waiting. We just purchased the crib and a dresser/changing table (thanks Ted and Linda!). The room is painted. Only took four coats of paint to cover the orange walls. Now we just need to touch up a few things.

All in all I feel great. I am going to try and work up til my 36th week. If I succeed I will be able to be home with our baby ten or eleven weeks. Instead of the six weeks. So to me it will be worth all the back aches I am having.
