quote of the month

I really like this quote. Although it's not directly tied to the baby, I think its a nice reminder that we are all humble and learn everyday, especially as Brian and I begin our journey as new parents.

Nursery Accents

We are still in the works on finishing up the nursery. Once the room is done, I'll place some more pictures up. But for now, here's a sneak peak of a few items which have found a home in the baby's room. Click here to view!

shower time

How much fun was the baby shower... Christine and Julie really put together a great afternoon. And yes there were games, lots of them, and all were enjoyed. We were even graded, like in school days. Many won, wahoo! Thanks to all my friends and family for spending the afternoon showering baby with lots of goodies. I love the diaper tote, highchair, car seat, vintage baby dishes, adorable outfits, and all the other lil' odds and ends.

As always, more pictures capturing the whole day can be found by clicking here. Enjoy!

what comes out must come home

Over the weekend Brian put in the car seat. This completes a major "must do" before baby is born. We now can bring our lil' one home snuggled safely into the backseat of the Honda. The car seat was a shower gift from Mom Hansen, Lynn, and Lori. Thanks so much, we love it! It works side by side with the Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico Stroller


Picking the right stroller for us was a bit of a challenge...they were either too big, too small, too something. This one sold us with its one-hand collapse features, and it fit into the truck of my civic. Plus i liked the colors.

Documented the whole "put car seat in" with a few more photos, check um out in our transport gallery by clicking here.

Very much looking forward to Saturday. Christine and Julie are all over it and I can't thank them enough. I hear we have games to look forward to...Should I be nervous?

first threads

The baby clothes, toys, supplies, and must haves are now coming in as we begin to plan for the arrival of our lil' one. How cute is this sprout onesie? The UGGS, which you can't go wrong with in Calgary, are from my Aunt Kyle,cousin Ann, and almost a Jansen (engaged to my cousin John) Jessica.
