Roan Cole Heichelbech

Sorry for the delay. We had a tot with bronchitis. Tired couple of weeks. All well now.

Our little bean arrived on 3/14/12, 7lbs 4oz and 20 1/2 inches long. He made quite the entrance. Water broke at midnight, hospital by 1:20, born at 3:04 a.m. My Doctor barely made it out of a surgery and into my delivery room. It was crazy! Took us several hours to name him. We had a couple of choices and we ended up with Roan (Ro-an) because his skin was so red for so long. He had red cheeks for hours and when he cried his little legs turned red. Roan means 'little red one' so we felt like it suited him well.

He's a good little boy and his sister LOVES him! She still calls her brother bean and also little buddy. :) So cute! Some pics Klint and I took this past weekend...

and Rory Elizabeth stole the show of course...

Total show off! Loving life and this awesome weather!

       cheers

Happy Happy

Happy Halloween! Rory says, "I'm a Princess Indian!!" She is so excited to trick or treat with her friends tonight!

Also, Happy Baby Reveal to us! Klint's birthday was Friday so I decided to surprise him with a cake last minute. More so because I ran out of time to make the pumpkin pie I had promised him AND because I just couldn't wait till Xmas to find out the sex of this baby. Also, I thought it'd be nice to do this surprise with just the three of us on Klint's special day. (Thx for the idea LLL; totally ripped it off!) He sent me a text that morning asking me, "Do you think it's a girl?" So I got the itch and just ran to Rene's Bakery and asked if they'd do a baby/birthday cake for us! They were so kind, took my enveloped ultrasound pic and made me a quick little sweet cake (this is why I love them and their croissants SO SO much).

Klint and I were both really nervous, anxious, whatever you want to call it. ;) Rory just wanted to eat cake! We all made our guesses and this is how it turned out:

Rory thinks baby's in her belly, ha! Needless to say, we were a little shocked. I think we were both thinking the other way around would be easier on us, but we can take this on! Rory still may not totally get it, but she definitely enjoyed the cake...

My husband loves having his sweet little girl, but I think he'll be a very proud pops to a boy! We're excited!

Should make things interesting. Now to plan a room that characterizes both boy and girl stuff! Oh, and to collect on all things boy.

Babe News

Think I convinced husband to find out Bean's sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited! We may wait till xmas though. And we may not tell anyone either. hehe  You'll have to pay us a visit if you want to know! Wonder if Rory can keep a secret? (p.s. Bean is what Rory calls baby).

Now to figure out the elements of the surprise. Xmas box full of baby pink or blue for Rory to open??? Photograph some fun with balloons and such to share with all?? Cake/dessert fun...I LOVE what Chassity did over at Look Linger Love. Sweet idea!!! Or, we could have some fortune cookies made for xmas fun! Or Hershey Kisses and share with all if we decide to spill the news. Cupcake party! SO many neat ideas. I can't wait!

Enveloping it this month. Wow, time is flying fast. Hoping & praying for a perfect ultra sound! I have no trouble waiting till December and still a little time to plan. I waited 9 months for Rory girl. We were pleasnantly surprised to have a girl!! :)

Cool ideas below... I love the gender reveal party with a tally game! How fun! Craving station, gender buttons, name suggestions. Or have guests wear a pink or blue shirt to guess the sex.

CUTE

Then a reveal...

BLUE!!!



PINK!!!

I don't know, if we share the news this could be a good excuse to have a party! :)

   cheers





Cat is outta the bag!

Secret exposed! Let's see how many of my friends and family actually read this silly blog.  I just can't wait any longer. Have to spill it! Cute attempt of sharing news at several videos below. Good enough. Not the best display from iPhone, but you'll get the message....(may have to adjust volume a bit)

Rory's bday party. As you can hear, Nana was quite surprised.

Rory seems to think it's a girl! If only I can convince my husband to find out the sex...I'm longing to "plan" this time around. I may just have to find out myself, but how on earth do I keep that a secret?  ;) We are very excited. Now we just have to figure out where we are going to put the lil' bean when it arrives in March. Uh oh, our bungalow may need some more work.
