Out For a Walk

I swear this kiddo is always pulling a funny face when I try to snap a photo! Anyhow, we have to say we have REALLY enjoyed the stroller my sister-in-law, Becky, is lending us. His first ride was at 10 days old (we walked to his doctor's appointment), and we've gone on walks most days since. Thanks Becky!

One Month Photos

My friend had a great idea to take pictures every month with a stuffed animal so you can tell how much Isaac changes. These are his one month photos.

Happy 30th, Boys (a birthday re-do)

So it was Lance's 30th birthday yesterday (yes, he's in his 30's now!). Isaac also happens to be about 30 days old. We had to do a birthday re-do, because Lance's actual birthday turned out to be a total bust. It started with Lance being sweet and offering to change Isaac's diaper in the morning, but Isaac ended up pooping mid-diaper change. Then, as Lance was going to get yet another clean diaper, the stream of urine started. I have yet to be both pooped and peed on in one diaper change...how unlucky! To top things off, Lance got a horrible migraine at work and luckily made it home in time to puke. He could barely handle a bowl of cereal for dinner, so we passed on his special dinner and birthday cake. We went to bed with Isaac around 9 pm because we were both exhausted.
Today, however, went much better. Isaac was a total angel. I was able to make Belgian waffles with buttermilk syrup for breakfast. Lance had a great day at work and didn't even have a 'hangover' from his migraine like usual, and we enjoyed salmon and king crab legs for dinner and a delicious Italian cream cake with coconut cream cheese frosting. I was hoping this was how Lance's actual birthDAY would go, but I'll take a successful re-do!

Will it Fit??

Lance's sister, Lisa, found Lance's blessing outfit, and we were hoping to bless Isaac in the same outfit. The only problem is that we aren't blessing Isaac for a full month. He gained 2 full lbs in the past 3 weeks, so I had to try it on today to see how it fit. I'm not sure if it will still fit in a month!! He looks so cute in it! I forgot to try on the little booties my aunt Arlene made! At least those will be sure to fit.

Escape Artist

No matter how well we wrap Isaac up in a blanket, he always manages to get something loose. Usually it is his hands, but this time he found another exit route.

Cute and Cuddly

Lance's aunt Diane sent Isaac the cutest little outfit from Pennsylvania. He was so irresistably cute and cuddly that neither of us could set him down all day!

So this is what we call fun now...

So Lance and I actually went on a date this weekend. We took the little guy to Cafe Rio where we enjoyed free dinner (thanks for the beta, Allison). Next we went to target and got a 1000 piece puzzle. Isaac did pretty well all night.


We also splurged and got a new Dyson vacuum. For some reason we have always wanted one and Target had them on sale, plus I was able to use my employee discount so I couldn't resist. Lance has already tried it out; hopefully it will make me enjoy cleaning more??

Due Date/Bath Time

Isaac had another sponge bath today. He really hates them...or at least hates being naked. If you can believe it, today is his due date. Instead I have a 16-day old baby, have changed over 100 diapers, have been peed on I don't know how many times and have even been pooped on once. Now I'm getting spit up on multiple times a day. It's still better than the alternative of still being pregnant right now. We're happy we got him when we did because he has brought us so much joy (not just messes)!

Ready For Church

Isaac and I had our first solo outing on Sunday because Lance had to work. Somehow we managed to make it to church after getting very little sleep the night before and it happened to have snowed a fair amount the night before so I had to clean off the car, etc. He looks as tired as I felt.

Dog Gone Cute

Hanging Out

So Isaac, Grandma, and Mommy have had a nice time just hanging out for the last few days. Unfortunately, Daddy had to go to Chicago and Nashville since leaving the hospital and is off to work today. I was lucky to catch Isaac awake for a change, so I thought I'd snap a few photos.

More Hospital Pictures

Isaac at the Hospital

My friend Katie was sweet and took some photos of Isaac at the hospital. The pictures turned out great (I guess I may be a little partial!)

Isaac Randall Lindberg

Isaac Randall Lindberg decided he couldn't wait any long and came 16 days early and was born Monday Feb 1st, 2010. He weighed in at 6 lbs 11.5 oz and was 20 inches long.


Both baby and mom are doing well after about 9 hours of labor. How come they think they need to come in the middle of the night?

To our surprise he has a pretty good little head of hair. It looks almost strawberry blonde.

Now this was a surprise...

I had a doctor's appointment this morning (I am just over 37 weeks).  I haven't had any real notable "symptoms" lately, so the doctor gave me the option of whether or not I wanted her to check my cervix.  She didn't feel it was really necessary at this point.  With Lance being out of town next week (he has two '24-hour' trips leaving Thursday night and Sunday night), I thought it would probably be a good idea just to see where we are at.  I'm not sure who was more surprised, me or the doctor.  She said she could feel the head down pretty low and that I was 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced and that I may not make it to my appointment next week.  Talk about a shocker.  She also said it might be 2 weeks before he's born, but I'm most likely not making it to my due date.  I wasn't sure if it was good news or bad news with Lance being in both Chicago and Nashville in that time frame...I'm still in shock.  I just hope he either comes really soon or waits for Lance to get done with his travels!!

It's FINISHED!

I finally finished the little baby afghan I designed for our new little one. I made it out of super soft bamboo yarn. I think it turned out really well! I guess we're going for the brainwashing method to get him to like our same hobbies ;)

What Happened??

All of a sudden I have burst at the seams!  This baby must be growing out of control (or at least I am!).  Lance took a picture of me last night to document the belly progress and I was shocked how much bigger I've gotten since Christmas.  Here's a visual of how much I've changed:

21 weeks

29 weeks

32 weeks

36 weeks

Yes, the basketball is for real...or that's what everyone says my belly looks like these days.  I didn't know it could be so perfectly round.  I can't believe he/we have another month or so of growing to do!  Where is it going to go??

Thank you Lindbergs!

Here it is...our baby boy's bed for the first 5 months. It was one of the group gifts from the Lindberg shower. We figure we can buy a real crib when we move to wherever we are moving in June! Thanks everyone!

The Lindberg Baby Shower

My sister-in-law, Lisa, hosted an awesome baby shower the day after Christmas while we were in Salt Lake City. It was great to catch up with the Lindberg family since we missed the Lindberg family Christmas party by a few short hours. Thanks to everyone for doing announcements, food, and for coming! I promised to post a picture of the group gift once I purchased it. I have the crib, but am still waiting to pick up the stroller. Thank you all so much!
