Our baby girl was born on October 12, 2009 at 9:06 am. Mom and baby are both doing well and dad is really excited to have her here!! She weighed in at 7 pounds 0 ounces and was 20.25 inches long. We will share more pics later.
Here are a few pictures of a small tornado that touched down less than one mile from our house. Pretty scary but luckily it didn't touch down in development, but pretty darn close!
We lost power for a little while after funnel cloud was noticed but it was afternoon so didn't need to scramble for flashlights, candles, and lanterns!!
I just thought that I would share our exciting news. We don't blog very often because I am lazy at this kind of thing, but one post every 3 months isn't bad, right? Anyway, Andrea and I are expecting our first baby!!! We are due in late October and will find out gender in early June. I will try to keep you posted but it will probably be in 3 more months. Andrea is excited for the first trimester to be over as the nausea was not fun for her! She is starting to feel the baby move now and so I can't wait until I can feel it too!
