Congratulations Oliver & Amanda!

We had a wonderful time at their wedding! Great venue, food, and people. We loved being included in their special day and look forward to stories about their honeymoon in France.


Smooches.


Amanda's fabulous dress and shoes!

Sleep Deprivation

We are excited we can finally look at and play with our Bean. It is hard getting used to the lack of sleep and new lifestyle, but it is worth it. Bean looking cute below...

Harper Clementine Nixon

Happy Birthday Harper! Our Bean was born February 28, 2009 at 3:50am, weighing in at 6lbs 13oz and 19.5 inches long. The labor and delivery was about 3 hours, which seems to be good, but is excessively painful to dilate in that short period of time and leave no time for the coveted epidural. I cannot complain though because we were rewarded with a beautiful healthy girl.

Nope, She's Not Here Yet

Still waiting to meet our Bean. Don't worry, we will let everyone know when she is here and we will post pictures too. Even if she looks like an alien. Her due date is March 8th, so not much time left. I feel big and heavy, like it could be any day now, but the days come and go with no change. So we wait...


39 weeks


T and his croquembouche at Karen's Oscar Party. He was happy to bake again. We can't wait until I can start eating sweets again!

The Sweet Feeling of Freedom

Tomorrow I begin my 38th week and end my bed rest - YIPEEEEEEEEE! It now seems like Bean is all snuggled up and in no rush to meet everyone. Jeez, she's already a pill, but we love her. She is taking up a lot of space and her favorite past time seems to be doing leg squats on my ribs - ouch. Not very fun for me, but she is strong and active.


Enjoying the beautiful weather before the rain starts again. It was fantastic being outside in the sun and air. Ahhhh.

Bed Rest...

Is definitely not fun. I will be so happy to be outside, moving, and shaking once our Bean is born. Plus, all of the yummy food I will get to eat! Jamba, cereal, honey, pancakes, cookies - oh my.

I always knew I had an amazing and wonderful husband, but T has surpassed all of my expectations. He is the best husband and friend a girl could have. All of our friends and family have been great, but my Mom, Kimmy, and Claudia have shown such caring and thoughtfulness. I hope I can be as supportive and selfless for them when they need it (or in general). Ultimately, I am a lucky girl.

I'm in my 36th week - yipee!

Bean's Baby Shower

We had a wonderful time seeing everyone, eating, drinking, and talking. Bean walked away with really wonderful things. T and I are happy that she is so loved. We don't have a picture of everyone that came, but we know you were there!
