giraffes and then some!

when erik & i first started dating he asked me to go with him to the zoo. i couldn't go with him b/c nebraska was hosting texas that year and no way could i miss that game. yes, i'm a good husker GO BIG RED! :) an inside joke started and we planned to help marty the giraffe escape from the omaha zoo [marty even sent erik a package on his bday of items to help with the mission]. the joke continued and when erik asked me to be his wife he gave me a stuffed giraffe.

so...with our beautiful daughter arriving in just a few short months...we are forcing her to like giraffe stuff. :) we just got our car seat & stroller in. [thanks g & j for the wonderful car seat!!] orange is my favorite color & it just happens to have giraffes on it. couldn't be more perfect.




here is the most adorable outfit i just bought this weekend. i'm thinking she will probably come home in this. i loved this outfit so much i registered for it in two other sizes! i refuse to let her grow out of it! :)

so the fun stuff is arriving! my wonderful friend janelle & her husband brian have been incredibely generous in letting us borrow some stuff from them. they have loaded us up on baby girl clothes & even a rocker/glider for the nursery. thank you jensens!!!

we are anxiously awaiting our trip home to nebraska for a week. we can't wait for the hustad/lovelace/miller weekend at mahoney. each family has certainly grown & will continue to do so! i'm sure b/w all the ladies we will have thousands of pictures! :)
