Eric and Jill

So Shauna came out at the end of August but didn't get to even meet her newest granddaugther til the middle of September. But not to worry we're looking forward to seeing her again in a few more weeks! Hopefully by then LaNea will be able to spend just a little more time awake then asleep.

So lately both Eric and I have been in full-blown parent mode. Its even there as we sleep. A couple nights ago Eric awoke and was terrified when he felt Lanie off to his side and couldn't figure out how she got there and worried that she would fall off. But when he reached out to grab her, all he felt was a handful of fur and a lot of meows.
Then last night, I set my alarm to wake me up to make sure I could feed her but I didn't fully wake up when it went off. A few minutes later I reached over to grab Lanie to get her ready to eat but I first felt a tail. Immediately I try to figure out where Bella was. I couldn't find her but it took me a little while as I tried to figure out how my daughter had grown a tail.
So needless to say we are either becoming somewhat confused over loss of sleep or our cat is set on making us crazy as fast as possible.

Eric had been dying to take LaNea for a walk around the park by our home. He even asked if he could as we drove home from the hospital. After what must have seemed like eternity, we finally took her a walk last night. Our little girl by the end of the walk...

The very happy daddy all ready to go!

So I know I have stolen the same pictures from both Shauna and April's but they did such a good job, I had to. April came up yesterday and brought some supplies to take pictures of our little girl. And while they shots all look perfect and it looks like she could have been sleeping for hours...she wasn't so April did a great job even with a very light-sleeper baby.

This will be one of the few pictures I'll have taken of me. April did such a great job at catching it at the perfect angle. She didn't even get my bad hair day in the shot!

If you didn't know better you might see this picture and think that Eric is posing for it but he gives LaNea so much attention always. He is even willing to stay up for hours at night as he patiently tries to put her on a schedule. He's such an amazing dad already.

This will hopefully be my last tummy picture. She will be coming out sometime and hopefully sooner than later.

So this the final room that wasn't seen before. To give you a better idea of what was done...Shauna made the curtains (including the sheers). She also made the whole bedding set. The inside of the bedding is made with a minky dot material so its extra soft while the outside is covered in the same polka dot material as the curtains. Its now so fun to keep the door to the room open just to see it. Its so bright and colorful and makes the whole room feel complete.

So we had orginally bought a carseat that had a blue and brown print. It was cute but as we bought it online it was a little more "boyish" looking than we expected. So when Shauna got her but LaNea didn't we started working on some fun projects. The best part of this is that she created her own pattern to get it made and now we have an adorable carseat that will be perfect for our little girl. Now all we need is for her to get here!!!

So for all those who don't know, thought I'd mention that she didn't want to come just yet so we are now still waiting! Eric keeps reminding me that I shouldn't complain because its not like I've really even reached my due date but that's harder to do now than I thought it would be. I am very much ready for her to be here but apparently my body is not. But luckily for me, Shauna's here with lots of fun projects for us to do while we wait.
