First family hike

We took advantage of a beautiful day yesterday and took Adrian up to outside of Boulder for his first hike. Leo threw out the option of a change of plans and taking Adrian to his first big 12 football game as we drove up in game day traffic (CU was playing Nebraska) but being the birthday girl I got to run the show;)

The three of us with a view of the Indian Peaks in the distance.

My boys taking in the views

Mimi and Papa in town

Adrian is getting to know 2 of his grandparents this week (aka Mimi and Papa). They are enjoying each other taking naps together, going on walks in the park, and just having a relaxing time:) Adrian even decided to bless Papa with a shower of pee this morning...That is when you know that you are in with the little man;)

This snow outfit makes me chuckle... I think he looks like Randy (Ralphie's little brother) from A Christmas Story because he cannot put his arms down... but he kept warm on the walk gosh darn it!

In the park on an afternoon walk...

We hope that everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow and safe travels!

End of paternity leave:(

After over a week off my better half sadly had to return to the workforce this morning... Adrian has been drinking his sadness away (with heavy milk consumption that is). I think that the boys got some pretty good bonding time in over the past week and I am so grateful for all of his help while I recovered from surgery and pregnancy hormones;)

The boys consoling each other after Adrian got circumcised...

On a walk at the nature center right by our house checking out the ducks....



Watching the OU game on Saturday...looks like Adrian can keep up good spirits even when the Sooners are down...he isn't a fair weathered fan!!

Adrian's first trip to the Doctor

Our little stud survived his first pediatrician office visit this afteroon and passed with flying colors. Just 5 days after arriving he is just 1 ounce short of his birth weight and, although we think he is well above average, his head and weight are sitting pretty in the 50th percentile ( I guess that he did not get his mother's head size:) )

Name Release

And the name is...


drum roll please....


Adrian Ernst Seibold

Our baby boy is here!!

...and yes...he really does not have a name yet but we will keep you updated. He was born yesterday (the dreaded Friday the 13th;) ) at 12:37 in the afternoon by Cesarean section after we had been at the hospital for 40 hours already.... so we were really ready to meet the little guy. He weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces and is 20 inches long...and is the best looking guy in the hospital but that is really neither here nor there.

Leo as the proud new dad with the little man in the OR right after delivery.

Right after I got back in the room from the OR getting to hold him for the first time.
Just the most handsome newborn I have ever seen...we cannot wait for everybody to meet him!!

The end is near... or the beginning... depending on how you look at it

Today Leo is busy doing a honey-do list around the house while I feel extremely lazy lying on the couch knitting. But the good news is that my days on bed rest are nearing an end.... and I am almost done with the cardigan that I am knitting for our guy as well (if I can try to find a sunny side to bed rest). That is right ladies and gents.... we are getting admitted to the hospital on Wednesday night for an induction....FiNaLLy!! So now that means that we have 4 days left to come up with a name for our little guy. Who would have thought that we would find a name so difficult... but I think that when we see him it will all become clear...Right?!? Now we are just hoping that he arrives on Thursday safe and sound so that he won't be born on Friday the 13th

And for LJ who has been bugging me for a pic of my large and in charge self...
