We have a hole!

After five long months we finally have a hole to call our own. Not much to look at but we sure are glad to have some progress. Springtime or bust we hope to be moved in!

And for some random Halloween entertainment, pictures of some cute kids dressed up and out and about for some festivities.

First weeks home...

Never has such a short amount of time seemed like such a long amount of time.
We sure do love having little Beck in our family.

Welcome Baby Beck!

Our sweet baby boy, Beck Andrew Pedersen, has joined our family!
He came to us at 2:28 p.m. on Monday, October 12, 2009 weighing in at 6 lbs. 11 oz and measuring 20 inches. Fortunately my labor was only three hours, and I was able to do it all naturally again.
We are so excited to have him home finally...it was a long two days in the hospital for the girls as they couldn't see him, but our first day home (Wednesday) was full of excitement for them. They can't get enough of him.
Welcome little dude!

Counting down...

Whose belly is this anyway?

Any day we should be meeting our little boy...
Boy, are we excited!

Fall Beginnings...

Here are my cute girls enjoying the last part of summer/beginning of fall. Lily's preschool pic is over a month late, but she is so grown-up and loves to learn. Zoe, having to do everything her big sister does, got her picture taken too. She was (and is) so sad when Lily is dropped off two mornings a week at Miss Jenn's preschool. She definitely wants to be where Lily is, and it's so nice to see them grow together. It sure is nice to have them entertain each other, and they are so looking forward to being big sisters.

to nest or not to nest...

So I'm waiting for some 'nesting' instincts to kick in...anytime now--please? I have so much to sort through and organize in anticipation for baby boy, but do I have any motivation? not so much. I remember a distinct burst of energy before having Zoe so perhaps he is simply not close to making an appearance despite the fact that my body is telling me otherwise.

And I have to say that I am more than disappointed that my girls can't come see me and baby in the hospital when the time comes. That's right...some article in the paper today mentioned six hospitals that wont' be allowing children under 14 and those that are sick to be in the maternity ward at all (darn swine flu). Major bummer...my girls have been anticipating this almost as much as me, so I am SOOO sad they can't join in the newness until I bring him home. (hmmm...maybe I'll have Andrew put them in a large suitcase and wheel them in undetected)

In other news: we have changed the location of our lot due to the ludicrous delay that was our old contract. We got such a great offer to move to Syracuse on a bigger and better lot in a nicer area and didn't feel it right to turn it down. So yes we have to start over technically, but we should still be starting to dig before the time in which our old subdivision will have come to. Eternal delay is what this feels like...right now we're hoping to be moved in in February sometime. And we wait....some more.
