One, Two...

Two Months Old!  My little love bug button duck…

Happy Happy Happy

Gid the Kid

We got a video monitor for our nursery that is wireless and connects to our IPad.  I REALLY love it.  Gideon always sleeps/naps in his crib and sometimes (okay all of the time) I just want to peek in there.  This way I can spy on him as much as I want and from wherever I want.  I also have night vision (i've always wanted night vision), I can hear/talk to him, I can pan the entire room (to see if Robby is spying on him), I can take video's & pictures.  It's basically awesome and i'm addicted to watching my baby sleep (okay he might cry a little too).

Here is me spying on him.  This is his first time napping outside of his swaddle.  He's a FREE man and his loving his awesome sleep sack from baby Dane!  I'm not sure he's ready to be out of his swaddle yet because he is SO squirmy… time will tell.

Okay five minutes later - here he is awake.  Gideon, I'M WATCHING YOU!… Muhahahaha.

Also, we got a flower bath thing for our kitchen sink.  I'm in love with it's cuteness.  We have a small kitchen sink to it works perfect for us.   The Balgaard kids were all bathed in the kitchen sink (minus the fancy cozy flower - we probably bonked our heads a few times).   Isn't it CUTE?!

Walking with a bear and a wolf

It's been so nice out lately that we have been able to take our little bear out for a walk.  We put him in his bear suit, sling him under a coat and off we go.  Kenai  our little wolf dog loves it too!  Finally temperatures above zero!!!

 I had to take a picture of this mail box.  They had to shovel out their mail box.  ha!

Anchor Point Friends!

The girls at church put on a baby shower for Gideon.  It seriously could not have been any cuter!!  We had coffee and dessert, my friend Anna did a devotional and led us in prayer and then we colored these cute little pictures to make an alphabet book for Giddy.  So sweet!  It was really fun and such a lovely group of ladies.

Update.

We have A LOT of snow.

AND this boy is 6 weeks old on Thursday!!

Our sweet baby BOY!

When Robby said "its a boy!" I had to check to make sure.  I was so sure it was going to be a girl that I was a little in shock.  I'm totally loving having a baby boy… he's feisty yet sweet and his chubby cheeks are getting chubbier every day.

Overall everything went great with the delivery.  Gideon was pinching a nerve in my back causing me to be in SO MUCH pain that I got induced on my due date.  I was scared to death to get an epidural… but I ended up getting one to help me sleep before delivery and it was the best decision I could have made.  It was amazing and I don't think I could have a baby without one now.. haha.

Our life has changed quite a bit now that Gideon is here.  It's been fun, challenging, exhausting… and every time I look at him my heart melts.  It's such an unbelievable feeling and an unexplainable love.

We've been so blessed by all of our friends in Duluth.  We have had meals dropped off almost every night for three weeks…. I haven't had to cook.  It's been such a blessing because the last thing you want to do with a new baby is cook.  Also, we've had friends shovel our driveway, run errands for us and the list go's on.  Seriously, such a blessing!

Here is a fun little glimpse at all of the fun visitors we had at the hospital!  It seems like so long ago already!

And here is a glimpse at all of our Skype visitors…

 The Headricks!

We also have had a ton of visitors to our home…

Fun With the Frey's

My little love boy!!
