Mommy loves her little girl!

First family photo!

I have Daddy wrapped around my finger already!

A little background on how Ellsey finally came to meet us:

We were scheduled to be induced Monday morning, the 11th, but since 8 other women went into labor that day, we got bumped to Tuesday.

That put Ellsey at 11 days past due and I honestly think she would have stayed put forever - it was a very long slow day of delivery and she needed a few nudges of help, but it was so worth it to meet our sweet little girl!

New family vehicle!

Ready to head off to the hospital!

Due Date?

So our due date has come and gone and Baby Boersma seems comfy where it is.  Friday was really hard to get through since we've waited for that date for 9 months now and the baby's not here!  We are trying to be patient as we know the baby will come when it's ready and that's what's best for him/her, but we are so anxious to meet our little one!


We did have what we hope will have been our last prenatal doctor appointment this week - take a look:

We have found ourselves with some extra time here before the baby arrives so we've continued reading up our baby's first days/weeks, soothing techniques, etc.  And of course, we had to put some things into practice:

Successful diaper change!

Nic has swaddling down!

We are ready!
