Name Update

We've decided to go with Bennett Lincoln Andreasen. It was one we liked early on, but wavered on because we didn't want him to be called Ben (not that Ben is a bad name, we just like Bennett). So Bennett it is! The cutest Bennett ever if you ask me.

It's a BOY!!!

Baby Andreasen was born at 5:50pm on the 25th! He's 8lb 11oz, 21in long. He looks a lot more like Mom than Dad. He's got lots of dark hair, Asian eyes, the cutest cheeks, and awesome Asian sideburns. We still have yet to determine the name!

He came out screaming!

Proud Dad

So cute! We are excited for this new adventure in our lives. Both mom and baby are doing great!!

Baby Update

So it's been awhile since my last post, so I'm going to try to get through everything that's happened.

The baby is doing well. I'm due in 20 days! I can't believe it's almost here. I feel pretty good. Mostly just tired. I do have to say if there is anything that is going to to make the next couple of weeks go by slow it's the visit to the doctors every week. Nothing like going in and them telling you that you really haven't progressed much. Ugh.

Also the doctor told me if I go full term to expect an 8lb baby. Probably not 9lbs but definitely not 6lbs. YAY! I've been slightly worried that it's going to come out HUGE. Like 13lbs. I can do 8lbs.

Here's a recent belly picture. I'm definitely feeling big.

On another note, we had the missionaries over for dinner. We made sushi, which is always a good time! This time we tried desert sushi for our desert. Think they turned out pretty cute. I didn't get any pictures of the real stuff. Oh well.

Crib

We finally bought a crib last week. Unfortunately it doesn't come assembled. We built it the other night and I think we did a pretty good job. I should probably have more confidence than that, but I've never built a crib before. I am pretty good at reading instructions though. And on the plus side there were no extra parts!

It looks good right?!

Mobile

I've been working on the mobile for the baby's room. I think I have it finished. We just haven't hung it up yet. It turned out pretty cute and only cost two dollars to make! Here's some pics of the process.

 I started with this. The lamp shade is what cost 2 dollars. The Origami paper I already had in two different sizes.

 I folded a bunch of paper cranes

 Then I cut out the metal ring to the lamp shade. This was much easier than trying to build something to hold all the cranes.

Then I used embroidery floss (heavier than string) and needle to thread it through the middle of the cranes and tied it to the ring.

I don't have a full picture of them tied to the ring. I'm planning on wrapping the ring with ribbon to hide all the knots and then hang it above the crib. I'll post some pics when it's finally installed.

Baby Shower

A few girls from my ward threw me a baby shower last week. It was lots of fun and everything turned out really cute. Thanks to all who came and for all the wonderful presents. I feel a little more prepared to have this baby. And a special thanks to Arielle and Melissa, you are the best.

The baby's room is going to be red and panda, so it was a panda/Asian theme shower. I love the red and black poof balls hanging from the ceiling. Can you believe she (Melissa) made them! She even let me keep them so I can put them in the baby's room!! All the food was delicious and everything was so cute. Thanks again

Late Valentines Day

I just found this picture of our Valentines Day dinner. Every year Lincoln makes some sort of Lamb. This year it was a lamb curry. It was super good
