Dane loving his big brother Beau, what a sweet smile!

Dane likes to look out the windows in our living room.

Headed to the hospital for a checkup, everything was good!

Not too happy about being on this table, it is cold!

Big brother made it all better!

Beau is a big help with Dane.

And Hunter is too.

Bringing Home Baby

A recap of our first week with Baby Dane...

June 25, 2012
40 Weeks

Before my doctor appointment

Jay and I went to my doctor appointment at 9:45 am on Monday. She decided to induce me and broke my water at 12:20 pm. And then we waited for things to progress.

Dane Michael Jolliff was born at 8:47 pm.

^"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14

Big brothers, Hunter and Beau, are excited to see Dane again on Tuesday morning!

Dane - You are loved by so many!

We were able to put Dane's footprint near Hunter's on the wall. Hunter's is on the right and Dane's is on the left.

Beau helped push Dane in his crib.

Baby Dane is here!

Jay and I welcomed our sweet little boy Dane Michael Jolliff on Monday, June 25, 2012 at 8:47 pm. He is perfect! He weighed 8 lb., 1 oz. and was 20 in long. His big brothers are totally in love and so are we. God is so awesome and we give him thanks and praise for our newest blessing!

Daddy and his boys! This is my favorite picture!

Future doctors?

Mommy with all her boys! Love these fellas!

39 weeks and counting...

I am almost 40 weeks and this little one seems to be in no hurry! This is the first baby we have had to wait this long for, so it has been a challenging week for us. We are patiently waiting for our new baby to make an appearance. And we know that God has a plan and everything will work out accordingly!

At my appointment this week, I had dilated a litte more, but am still not ready. I have an appointment on Monday to see where things are and perhaps we will be that much closer to meeting our precious little miracle! We are SO excited!

We will keep everyone updated via phone/text/emails next week! Stay tuned!
