First Bath @ Home!

This is just a short clip of Lila after her first bath!  Grandma Carol had to leave this morning so we thought this little video might soften the blow for her a bit, plus allow everyone else to see her!  Enjoy!

(it might take youtube while to load it…it was being weird last night…just FYI)

Lila Comes Home!

Here is a quick little video of Lila in the hospital and when we brought her home!  I apologize in advance for the baby talk I do…Enjoy!

Photo Ops

Here are some photos from Lila’s first few days with us:

It’s a Girl!

Kristy and I are proud to announce the arrival of our beautiful baby girl:

Lila Caroline Vickerman

Mom and baby are doing great!  Mom and Dad are tired of course.  And so is Grandma Vickerman who is here being a huge help for us!  We just brought her home today and instead of sleeping I am up blogging.  In fact I am getting pretty good at typing with one hand and holding a baby in the other…

Obviously, I have decided to update the site a bit too!  The new look reflects Lila’s more feminine side!  You might also notice the new name at the top (but the html link is the same)  Also there is a new page entitled “Milestones” that will include important Milestones in Lila’s life (including a picture!)  And a page devoted to her name!  Enjoy!

Due Date comes and goes…still no baby!

Well – as of 5:30 pm on October 2nd, there is still no baby. However at the doctor office yesterday, our doctor said he would be surprised if we don’t have this baby over the weekend – so that is exciting. The baby is also much bigger than we originally thought. Based on the ultrasound they believe it is 8.2 lbs! Kristy is also 100% effaced, so it should be any time now! I took the liberty of taking pictures of her on the due date, so here you go – I really hope the next post is from the hospital!

Countdown to Baby’s Arrival!

Since we are so close, I have posted a countdown timer for everyone! The next major posts will probably be from the hospital!

Cradle Refurbishing & Picture of the Belly!

Okay  – Kristy and I are about to begin week 36, which means it is almost GO time.  Although Kristy has nested off and on for the past couple weeks, my nesting took the form of refurbishing the family heirloom cradle.  I wish I would have taken before pictures, but oh well.  The cradle was in need of some TLC, so I decided to take it on.

I had to sand down the paint and in doing so noticed at least two different colors it had been before (an almond shade and a salmon pink color).  We decided that to keep the tradition going in the family, we should paint it something that will be universal, so white it is!  I used almost an entire tube of wood filler due to the numerous nail and tack holes throughout the years.

I also decided to replace some of the hardware since the whole cradle is being upgraded – so new screws and cool little plastic caps to go over them so it blends in with the white of the wood.  And also new wheels.  These proved hard to find, but a great hardware store in Eugene, Jerry’s, had what I was looking for…

Since we got the camera out to take the cradle’s photo, we decided to get some pictures of Kristy in too, since a few people have requested pictures of her and the belly!  The other pictures include the wall stickers that go with the room theme, so we took some pictures of those too.  Kristy like the branch that looks like it is holding the diaper bag!  Enjoy!  Only 31 more days!  1 month!
