Meeting my cousins!

Don't ya just want to hug me?

Take me out to the ballgame!

Dane took in Daddy's baseball game this afternoon.

Daddy made a spectacular catch- me! (Check out Dane's slippers, too!)

The family.

Dane caught a great nap on Grandma's lap for most of the game!

We had a nice visit together this evening!

Grandpa and Grandma are here!!

Grandpa and Grandma flew in Thursday evening, so I went to meet them at the airport. ( I think they kinda like me!!)

Photo Albums

For anyone interested, I have added many recent pictures to our shutterfly albums. These can be accessed through the "photo albums" link on the left side of this page. Feel free to browse. By the way, I'm getting pretty good at typing with one hand as I hold Dane with the other!!
All snuggled up for a nap.

Hospital pictures

I just received a link to the website where Dane's first pictures from the hospital were posted. You can check them out at http://www.growingfamily.com/webnursery/babypage_view.asp?URLID=0P9Y1N6J9Y. It's amazing how quickly he has already changed!

Dane had his first appointment yesterday with his pediatrician. She feels that Dane is doing very well! He was back up to 7 lb. 9 0z. yesterday, and I'm sure that will continue to increase if his appetite is any indicator!

Home Life

Snuggling with my proud Daddy. I just love to cuddle with him!

Check out my fuzzy hair after a sponge bath last evening. (More visible if you click on the picture to enlarge it.)


We're all making the transition to home life together. Dane is doing well- he's a real little trooper. Dad and Mom are just trying to catch sleep here and there!

We're home!


We're all home and very happy this morning. Some updated pictures of Dane and his recent life events.
Still at the hospital- just hanging out with Daddy!
All bundled up to come home.
A welcome awaits-thank you!!
In my room, at last!

WELCOME DANE MIKKEL ANDERSON!!


Hi Everyone!

Dane Mikkel Anderson is here!! He was born on March 25th at 5:40 p.m. He is 7 lb. 11 oz. & he is 20 inches long. He is soooo cute & cuddly! I think this "parent thing" is going to be incredible!! I can't wait to take him to the baseball park, zoo, and the gym!! :) Maybe a little early for all of that, but still, this kid is awesome! Mommy is doing great as well! She is such a great mommy, and she couldn't be prouder of her beautiful bouncing baby boy!! (Dad is pretty proud, too!) :)

Stay "linked-up" to our site for more photos. We'll get them on the site as soon as we can.

Mommy & Dane Mikkel Anderson



Mommy and Dane smiling for a quick picture! Dane is very fun and cuddly to hold! I love it! When you listen to his breathing it is so soft and precious! :)

Baby Shower!


All of Mike's co-workers conspired to throw us a surprise baby shower today at his office. A big thanks to everyone for a fun time and great gifts! Hopefully Little Squirt will be here soon!


The crew

Loved the cake (both how it looked and how it tasted)!

T-shirts they had made for the proud parents!
Everyone pitched in to get us this awesome baby jogger- can't wait to use it!!

Has anybody seen my feet?

Still waiting...

Another view of the nursery after a few more finishing touches. Thanks to my dad and mom for the beautiful glider rocker! I think my nesting instincts really kicked in this weekend, as I found myself cleaning the whole house and rearranging the nursery again and again. Poor Mike got roped into fun tasks like wiping down every ceiling fan in our house (there are 6) and other things unsafe for a largely pregnant woman who wants everything done!

The poor guy finally gets a break from all his work, and Lizzi joins him!

GeezerJock Anyone?!


I received a great gift in the mail the other day! GEEZERJOCK magazine! I think someone is trying to tell me something!

Basically, the magazine features old guys who still run, play football, baseball, bowling, curling, drink coffee, Metamucil, use walkers, have tri-focals & use a commode! I guess it really DEPENDS if one wants to read on about the Croquet Masters!!

If anyone wants a FREE GEEZERJOCK subscription let me know! :)

And.......whoever signed me up, I thank you from the bottom of my worn out cleats!

36 weeks

Sometimes it's hard to believe that Baby is due in less than a month! Other times it feels like an eternity! We're all still hanging in there!

36 days and counting... but who's counting?!!

Here's the most recent picture of our beautiful little baby! We just love those cute little pouty lips!! It's getting harder and harder to get clear pictures as Baby's quarters are a little more crowded. D-day is approaching in 36 days... although I should probably add at least a week to that estimate based on family history! No signs yet that Baby will make an appearance very soon, though it would be fairly healthy at this point with a calculated weight of over 5 pounds.
