His little face is so precious! He's got dark hair and beautiful skin! Mommy has got him all taken care of and he is being so great!

Check out photos on Flickr of our little bundle of joy! One of the favs is the photo to the left of the copy.

    3 Weeks!!

    Friday, February 5th, 2010

    I can hardly believe that our little Con man is three weeks old today!! It has been a great 3 weeks and has gone by SO fast!! He is growing like a weed! He was already up to ten pounds as of this past Wednesday. Connor is a really good baby. Sunday night he even slept 6 and a half hours straight. He of course hasn’t done that again, but I am hoping that that was a sign that he will be a good sleeper eventually. Last night was a little rough as he was up for several hours for no reason in the middle of the night. If he wasn’t so stinkin cute, I might have been upset.  :)

    The girls have gotten into a good routine of getting up and getting out of the house with Daddy in the morning to go to day care. It has been a little weird to be home without them here, but they really need the routine and would be so bored here at home. I have been enjoying my time alone with my little guy! He is so sweet and cuddly! I think he is a momma’s boy already! We only stayed home all day Tuesday, but have done some running around the rest of the week. I am not one to stay in the house.

    Wednesday night we had the Raders family over for a visit which was really fun! we can’t wait for the arrival of their little girl. Yesterday, Connor and I went over to Grandma’s house for a visit with Auntie Marsha, Savannah, Landon, Nana, Papa, and Grandma. We had a great lunch and enjoyed our visit. Happy Birthday to Auntie Marsha! Today, Connor and I had lunch with Grandma, Jill, and Jakey as well as did a little bit of shopping. Connor isn’t as great of a shopper as the girls are.

    This weekend we are busy with getting our taxes done and haircuts for Ella and I tomorrow, and a small get together here for the Superbowl on Sunday. Should be a great time. I am rooting for the Saints as I am a Drew Brees fan from my days at Purdue. I am sure we will have many  more pictures to post after the weekend.

    I can’t believe I only have 3 more weeks at home. It is going to go so fast!!

    Sunday!

    Monday, January 18th, 2010

    We just wanted to make a quick video post from Sunday! We had a great day with little man. He didn’t get bugged at all today and was able to sleep. A lot of family and friends came out today and it was good to see everyone.

    Grandma Debbie and Grandma Marsha did the kid swap in the hospital parking lot. The girls were sleeping and it was good to see them for a few minutes. Ella convinced Grandma Debbie her coat was reversible and its so not. Ha ha. We were able to iChat with the girls again today. Beth and I even talked to John and Jill for a little bit.

    As for Connor, he did have a good day but his eyes are a little swollen. You can’t see it in the professional photos that were taken at the hospital but in my photos you can. The dr said it could be a reaction from the ointment they put on his eyes after he was born. Hopefully, he will wake up tomorrow and they will be better. As I was writing this, Mommy’s milk came in and he wasn’t ready for it while nursing a minute ago. First spit up event!

    Connor’s Birthday!

    Friday, January 15th, 2010

    Connor Lee Saip arrived today at 12:46pm. He is 8lbs 4 oz and 20 inches long. We are so blessed to have him here with us now! Thank you to everyone for their help today and this weekend. We are grateful for everyone’s help with Ella and Kiley! It’s strange not having the girls with us this weekend but it’s what we have to do so we will make the best of it.

    Beth and baby are doing great right now and he is nursing at the moment. He has also been sleeping in his crib as opposed to on Mommy or me. We want him to be able to sleep in his crib so that we don’t have him in bed with us unless it’s necessary. We learned from Kiley Bug!

    It was great to see everyone who made it out today and look forward to seeing more people this weekend! Check out the posted pics here for a glimpse of Connor Lee Saip!

    Monday Morning Commute

    Monday, November 16th, 2009

    Hope everyone had a great weekend! I spent Friday night working late. Thanks again guys for sticking it out an getting everything up to speed (you know who you are)!

    Saturday, I spent the day up in Madison with Fletch. The Badgers worked Michigan. It was a great game to be at. Beth and the girls did some shopping and cleaned out Ella’s room to prepare for the furniture move on Sunday. I was home by 7pm from Madison and we finished getting the house ready.

    On Sunday, we moved out Ella’s furniture with the help of Eric and Donnie! Afterwards, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. Love that place! We watched football, Grandma Debbie stopped by, went grocery shopping and called it a night.

    The Colts played a great game to beat the Patriots. Hopefully, the Bears will bounce back and be able to compete with the Eagles next weekend.

    This week is going to be a quick week hopefully! We will be picking up the bedding we ordered, ordering a twin matress and having the furniture delivered on Saturday. We will be having family over on Sunday so I’m sure we will be prepping for that as well. A little pre-thanksgiving celebration if you will :)

    Check back soon for more updates!

    Only 3 more months!

    Friday, October 16th, 2009

    Matt and I had a great time in New York last weekend!!! It was not exactly a relaxing vacation, but it was nice to get away for a few days just the two of us! I think it will be a while before we get to do that again. Thanks again to everyone that helped with all of our kids to make that possible!!! We got to walk around Times Square, see Mary Poppins on Broadway, go to the Giants game, hang out in the West Village for a fancy dinner, walk through Central Park, see the Columbus Day parade, and walk up and down 5th ave/Park ave among many other things while we were there for 3 short days. All I know is that we came home way more exhausted than we were when we left. And everything in New York is really expensive!!! I don’t think I could live there, but it was so much fun to visit!!!

    This weekend we have another busy couple of days planned. Tomorrow morning I am going out with Allison and all of her bridesmaids for lunch and dress shopping…should be tons of fun! Matt is hanging out with the girls and Grandma Debbie. We are then going to have a full house with Grayce and Gretchen joining us for the evening so that Derrik and Mary can enjoy a night out for their anniversary. The girls will love it! Sunday we are headed to Goebberts Pumpkin farm with family and friends for some fall festivities! The girls love the pumpkin farm! Ella starts dance class again on monday. Busy busy busy!!!

    Only 3 more months until we have this little baby boy! This pregnancy is going so quickly. I am still feeling pretty good. Just starting to get a little more tired and sore by the end of the day. Really not too much to complain about, although, Matt might tell you that I do complain all of the time :) . The holidays are fast approaching so it will be January before we know it!
