Miriam Ashley Heinen
Born 4:20 pm, November 18, 2009
7 lbs, 12 oz, 19 inches long

Mommy had to have a c-section, but is recovering well. Miriam is healthy, very alert, and absolutely perfect.

Many, many more pictures to come, but I need to get back to the hospital!



Ready, Set, . . .

Miri should be here any day, now. Erin looks about ready to pop (pictures later this evening), and her room is ready to go. We have also assembled the cradle in our room and have car seats buckled and ready.

Getting Ready

We are going to try having the room ready by this weekend. I'm building some shelves to get my stuff out of the way, we put the bedding on the crib, and we'll hang lots of wall stuff later.

Gifts and a trip

Erin's shower was last weekend, and we got so many awesome presents. Miriam's bath, room, and clothing needs are now 'met.' By met, I of course mean that she has more stuff than Mom and Dad combined. I've almost boxed up or cleared enough books out of the apartment to make room for her toys/books.

It's difficult to single out any specific presents, but these two outfits were especially cute. Once we finish getting her room in order, we'll post more (and better) pictures. The butterfly lights are going to be awesome.



















Erin and I went on our last vacation as non-parents this weekend. We stayed at Amelia Island Plantation and had a wonderful time on the beach, eating wonderful meals, and watching this amazing sunrise.




Also, leave a comment to sign up for Miri's birth pool (look at the calendar on the right to see what times are taken).

Getting Closer

Erin is due next month. Thanks to friends and family, we have so many things that there's barely room. Speaking of, Erin's tummy is starting to run out of room as well.

I found this shirt and thought Erin really needed it. It's been a big hit at her work and the restaurant we went to Friday.
















Here I am trying to put Miri's stroller together. I'm sure I'll have many more "Some Assembly Required" jobs for her.

DSC_3956 We have Miri's crib assembled thanks to Steve and Shannon. My guess is that she will have more clothes than me by 1 month before she is born. For more pictures, visit www.flickr.com/dheinen




This is DSC_3953 Erin at 24 weeks.

We can feel the baby kick, which is one of the most exciting events to date (for me, anyway)
