He's definitely Ours

Who does Baby Bennett look like?

Everyone says he looks like me, but I think he looks a lot like Lincoln. Any thoughts?

More Baby Bennett

Not much has changed. Grandma and Grandpa Torman were here for a few weeks. It was fun to have them visit and it was especially nice to not have to worry about cleaning house.

Bennett is back to his birth weight and getting bigger and bigger. He wakes only once a night and is on a pretty good feeding schedule about every three hours. He is a really good baby and hardly fusses at all. I fear that by writing this things will change. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

The outfit that we brought Bennett home in. I bought this one and a really cute little girl one. I didn't really like this one but I was convinced it was a girl so I didn't worry about it. I think he still looks cute though!

Easter

We decided to take a drive to the Chicago Temple for Easter. Unfortunately the temple grounds were closed and this is the best shot we got.

Happy Birthday, Lincoln

I'm afraid the baby is going to overshadow Lincoln's birthday a bit. Lincoln turned 26 today, but most of this post is about Baby Bennett. Can you blame me? He's just so cute. We've loved having Bennett home. He's received lots of visitors and loves all the attention. He's definitely spoiled already. He's been great. Getting lots of sleep and not too fussy.

For Lincoln's birthday I got him a White Sox diaper bag. The baby is just a bonus!

How cute is that?

Last day at the hospital.

Baby Bennett knew that his Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Andreasen and Great Aunt Betty were coming to visit. He could not wait to come out and meet them.

Happy Birthday, Lincoln. We love you!

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?!
