Our Little Princess!

Here are just a few pictures of Lenas first few days. Everytime I try to put pictures on here, Lena has different plans for me. I will try to get more on here later.


Daddy checking me out

I already have Daddy wrapped around my little finger


Going home. This is the gown my Papa Bear (granddad), Aunt Angela, and Mommy all wore home from the hospital.


My first car ride. Mommy and Daddy were so nervous.

Our Little Princess is Here!!!

Our little princess came to see us early!! She was born a week early, October 15! She weighed 7 lbs. and 4 oz. and was 20.25 inches long. She is perfect in every way and her daddy and I could not be more in love. Things have been a little crazy around here with a newborn so as soon as I can I will post some pictures of the gorgeous girl.

AU Tailgating shower

We had our last shower this weekend, it was a coed AU tailgating shower. We had some much fun and got some many good things. Here are a couple of pictures from it. I had to use someone elses camera for 1/2 the party since mine died, so I will post more later.


One of the games we played. The guys had to drink a beer from a baby bottle whoever got done first won. Lubin bit the tip of his nipple off so he won.


The beautiful wreath my best friend, Shannon, made for me to hang on our hospital door.


Sibling love! I think they are just as excited and ready as we are.

Two of the hostess (minus the men)

With the due date drawing near we decided we needed to get some maternity pictures. Leah (Angela's best friend) was nice enough to take them for us. They are really cute and we are very happy with the way they turned out. Look at my feet in some of them. I wasn't going to wear shoes since they are so big now and NOTHING fits (I was even trying on 11s and couldn't get them on my feet)but I forgot to take them off.


I think this one is my favorite



I still cannot believe how big she is!

We are ready!!

While I was taking a nap today, my wonderful husband finally finished the couple thing we had left in Lena's room. I'm so excited I get to post pictures and show it to everyone now. We do have a couple more thing to put up on her wall but those can be done later.







Can you believe we only have 3 1/2 weeks left!!! I'm so ready to see our little princess. She is so big now you can feel & see every move she makes. She should be about 6 1/2 lbs. now (if not bigger).

You know your from the South...

We started our child birthing classes last week. At the beginning, we had to go around the room and tell what our "partners" biggest concern was and what they were most excited about. Mine was that I will not have everything ready by the time she gets here (concern) and I can't wait to see her (most excited). Lubin is nervous to drive with her in the car (concern) and he can't wait to see her (most excited). There are only 11 couples in our class and remember these are all first time parents. 3 out of the 11 couples said the guy was worried that the baby would be born on the weekend and they would miss a football game. One said there due date was AU vs. UA weekend and he was afraid he would miss the game. Another said he had not missed a home game since '96 and did not want to break his streak. The other one was due Ole Miss game and he runs the audio at the stadium. I thought it was so funny. You can definitely tell we live in the South and that our lives revolve around college football. Lubin is just excited she is coming before hunting season and after fishing season.

We are trying to finish everything up. Her nursery is almost ready, just a few things left to do and then I will post pictures. She is getting so big and you can constantly feel her move. She has really run out of room. We start our weekly doctors appointments tomorrow and I'm very excited to hear what the doctor has to say. Hopefully I will have nursery pictures up for you soon!

New Belly Shot

I wanted to let everyone see how much Lena is growing. I feel like the only way you can really tell is to see my big belly. Angela took these pictures for me and laughed the whole time she was doing it cause she said my stomach is HUGE!! Just think we still have 6 more weeks to go.
