Getting him started early...

I could not resist when I saw this jersey online. I figured the baby needed some attire to watch the Bears beat up on the Packers again in 2008.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's

Jenn and I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Baby's Room is Complete

This week I finished painting the baby's room and I am ecstatic on how it turned out. It was my first attempt with putting up a chair rail, and I only had to make 1 extra trip to Menard's for more wood. It is definitely looking like a little boys room, and I think the colors will grow with him. I am sure you may be able to see where the color scheme is going...........

On the Downhill....

We are entering into the 3rd Trimester and the time is flying. Jenn is doing well and the baby is growing and growing and growing. I think he is going to be Husky just like dad. It will soon be time to visit the doctor every 2 weeks. We have signed up for 3 child birth classes, and I am most excited about the breastfeeding class. With all the different types of bottle nipples to choose from in the baby aisle at Target, I can't wait to see what this class has to offer.

I am convinced the baby will grow up to be an NFL kicker or an Ultimate Fighter because he has some powerful kicks and punches. It is surreal being able to put my hand on Jenn's belly and feel the baby move. Our animals are becoming more accustomed to the baby also. Throughout the night they rotate lying on Jenn's belly, and they seem to be mesmerized by all of the little movements.

The NAMING Debate

Jenn and I have started to think about baby boy names, and we each have a secret list going. We bought one of those baby name books that includes only oh.....60,000 or so. Being of German decent, I am partial to the names like: Blitzer, Adolphus and Kermit.

The middle name will definitely follow family tradition; the first born son having the fathers first name as the middle name. So, when trying to pick out a name we have to ensure that the initials don't lead to something inappropriate. The quote of the year comes from my Grandma Jean, "You can name the baby something that starts with a B, so its initials will be BM'S."

Time for the Holiday's

Well, it is mid-December and our lives are chuggin along. Jenn and I are continually busy at work and the holiday's are rapidly approaching. We do not plan on travelling for Christmas, rather the Smith's are coming to Coralville, and we are going to Cedar Rapids to celebrate with Jenn's parents. It will exciting to see all of our families and to relax a little.
