Well, I went to the doctor last Friday and finally got some news! My doctor has scheduled an induction date for me--I am to report to the hospital at 7:00 PM on February 11th--then bright and early Thursday morning, they will give me the meds and we'll be good to go! That is, of course, if I last that long! My mom and her friends think that Hadlee will join us around February 4th or 5th, so we'll see what happens!
Dave and I went to tour the birthing center at Innovis on Saturday night. That was nice. We were able to see the delivery rooms, the nursery, the NICU, the operating room--where the C-sections are done, we met some of the nurses, and were able to ask lots of questions.
Dave and I are also scheduled to do a quick crash course (the weekend version) of lamaze and childbirth this weekend. I'm sure that will be an experience!
Hadlee's room is ready for her and I think we are all ready to go. Now it's just a matter of her deciding when she wants to join the rest of the world! We can't wait to meet her--hopefully she's a cute baby and not an ugly one! :) (just kidding, of course she'll be cute--a combination of Dave and I--how couldn't she be?!)
hope you're all having a great January! I'll post next time something happens!

Nothing new...
Hi All~
Well, I come with no real 'news'. I had a Dr. appointment today and everything looks good. Heartbeat was good and she's still head down.
The exciting news is that my Dr. told me next week we will talk about dates for induction. So, hopefully next Friday we will have a really good estimate of when Hadlee will be born!
My belly buddy--a woman I met online who was due a week after me--had her baby this week. Owen Glenn was born at 34.5 weeks--and was a whopping 8 lbs. 5 ounces. He is doing pretty good, but is being fed through a tube and is receiving oxygen. Please keep Amber and Owen in your thoughts and prayers.
Other than that, we are just waiting for Hadlee to come. Getting a little impatient but definitely want to keep her cooking as long as we can!
Mom and dad are coming this weekend to help us work on the basement. We are hoping to get some doors and trim hung. Probably won't get too much more work done before Hadlee gets here, so better work as much as we can now!
Hope all is well with all of you! I'll let you know what happens at my appointment next week! Should be one of the first exciting ones! :)

Baby's getting big!
Hi All! :)
Well, to answer the question that was asked in the one of the last comments, yes, I made that quilt for Hadlee. I am going to make her another one with the same fabrics, which I'll post when it's finished.
For all of you who won't quit bugging me about a picture of my belly--it's not a cute little belly like Jayme had--pretty much look like I had too many french fries and donuts! LOL but here you go! Now you can quit ragging on me! This is at right around 33 1/2 weeks, I think.
What else is new? I'm back at work, which, after a week off is rather difficult! By the end of the eight hour day I feel like I could just go to bed and sleep all night. HOWEVER, that's not happening either! I can't get comfortable at night and usually get less than 4-5 hours a night. So tired!! Oh well, at least there is only a little over month left, just preparing myself to not get any sleep once she gets here, I guess!
Nothing else new to report, I have a dr appointment on Friday, so we'll see if we get any news there.....talk to you later! Let me know if there is anything you want to know--want to make sure I appease my 'fans'! lol...just kidding!
Have a great rest of the week!

Hadlee's Room
OK--Pictures of Hadlee's Room! :) I've had a few people ask what Hadlee's room will look like and what colors we are decorating in...well....what else other than pink and brown? Here are some pic's....must say, I'm a little jealous that her closet is more organized than mine! :(....
Hope you like it! :) Let me know what else you want to know, girls! I'm running out of topics real fast!
Have a great evening--I hear there is a new episode of Desparate Housewive's on tonight...
Hadlee has a middle name! FINALLY!
Hey All!
Hadlee now has a middle name! Her full name will be Hadlee Allisabeth Nygaard.
And--since I know that I will get questions on how we came up with that name, I'll fill you in before you have a chance to ask. LOL--
As most of you know, Dave had 2 sisters that passed away, as well as his mom. They were Carol Elizabeth (mom), Kate Allison (sister), and Margaret Elizabeth (sister). So, we wanted to try to combine them somehow, and we came up with Allisabeth. Hopefully you all don't think her name is too odd.....we really like it and love how it has meaning to both of our families.
We did a lot of work on Hadlee's room this weekend, and I am planning on taking pictures this afternoon and posting them.
Have a great Sunday--and here's to a great work week!

Happy New Year!
Hey All!
Happy New Year! What a year 2009 is going to be!
What's new here, not a whole lot. I've been trying to get a lot done while I'm on vacation from work. Yesterday I washed a whole bunch of baby clothes! Working on getting them all put away and getting Hadlee's room organized. I just want to get a closet organizer in place so I have a place to put everything!
I've had a couple questions about how we came up with the name Hadlee. Well, we'd been looking through lots and lots and lots of books--and came across Hadley. It means "fields of Heather". Well--we wanted a name that we could associate with both of our families. As most of you know, my middle name is Lee, as is my mother's maiden name--so we changed the ley to lee. Makes her name a little more personal and has a little additional meaning for us. We are avidly working on a middle name, sure to be just as creative, you can bet on it! LOL I'll keep you posted, as we're hoping to make that decision in the next few days!
Lucy is doing well--with all of our discussions of middle names, Dave has decided that Lucy now needs one, too! SO, he has decided that since my childhood dog's name was Elvis, Lucy's middle name will be Priscilla. LOL! OK--so officially, our dog's full name is Lucy Priscilla Nygaard. She's behaving a lot better than she did when we first got her. Dont' get me wrong, she still jumps to greet all our visitors and guards our house by barking at every car/truck/person that goes by the front of the house. But, she has definatly calmed down a little bit--I think she's looking forward to having a new face to lick!
We met with a potential day care provider yesterday. She was really nice. She is a younger lady who cares for 2 kids in her home. She has 3 kids of her own, a 6 year old, 2 year old, and a 9 month old. She also cares for another baby--a 6 month old baby named Finley. She lives in Osgood, so it's conveniently located on my way to work. I think she seemed really nice, so we'll have some more decisions to make coming up soon! She also has a dog, a boxer--the calmest dog I've ever seen--nothing compared to Lucy! I think that's kind of nice actually--Hadlee is going to be around Lucy all the time, so it would be good for her to be around another dog all day.
I suppose, that's about it for now. I hope you all start your 2009's off wonderfully! I wish you all great happiness and health.
Update soon!
