Our little Christmas present

Cohen Maddox Jonas was born on December 22, 2010 at 3:50 pm. He was 8 lbs 3 oz and 20 3/4 inches. He is an absolute blessing, and we are so in love with him. Although it is hard to spend Christmas away from our families in Minnesota, this guy is a great reason as to why we can't be there this year. Merry Christmas everyone! We love you and miss you!

Love,
Dan, Katie and Cohen

Baby Jonas: Arriving Tomorrow! :)

I can't believe that our baby boy will be arriving tomorrow! We are so excited and thankful. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We will update as soon as possible.

Love,
Katie and Dan

Lakers/Wizards and Heat/Wizards Games

Life just doesn't slow down...even when you're 39 weeks pregnant! It's true! Well, it is for me anyway. I do get tired easily and need to take several breaks. I sit wherever possible and crash on the couch when I get home, but I can't pass up a Lakers game ....

 The jersey still fits!

Thank you Andrew Gerding for this picture. Haha...I had to post it.

Dan was able to go to the Heat/Wizards game with his cousins, Patrick and Andy. Here are some pictures...

I guess if this guy ate this entire cheeseburger, everyone at the game could go to a burger place and get a free burger. They guy ate the whole thing! Haha...blah!

That's all for now!

Love,

10 Days to go...

Really? Our little guy will arrive in 10 days or less! It is a little hard to believe that we are finally there. I am so ready! Well, I think so anyway. I'm ready to meet him and see what he looks like, and  I'm ready to hold in my arms instead of my belly. :) Overall, I am still feeling pretty good. I  feel a bit achy,  and my hands and feet are swollen. I get tired very easily and don't feel like doing anything when I get home from work, but I guess that is all normal!

I made no progress at my appointment last week. It was somewhat disappointing, but as long as he is doing well in there I won't kick him out! He definitely gets his patience from his Dad and not me. Hopefully we'll find out something interesting at our appointment on Tuesday. I'm also hoping that we will know what time they scheduled me to be induced on the 22nd. They said last week that it was too early to schedule it with the hospital.

On Friday, our work had a baby shower for us. It was very nice and thoughtful. We had cake and ice cream and some people got us gifts. We got a lot of nice clothes, some gift cards and a few other miscellaneous items. It was fun, but I just don't really like being the center of attention. Blah. Plus, it was suppose to be a surprise, but someone spilled the beans a little before. So I had to act surprise, which is not something I am good at. Anyway, I am thankful for those who took the time out of their day to celebrate with us.  It means a lot to us.

Let's see..what else is going on here. Not much really. Just taking things one day at a time. The goal now is to keep this little guy in until Wednesday.  With the Monday night football games and the Lakers game Tuesday night and am not allowed to have him until Wednesday. I'll try my best, but I make no promises! :)

Not the best picture, but this is what I usually look like on a lazy football Sunday! I'm in no mood to try to impress anyone! And I got a haircut. It was intended to be longer than this, but the woman just kept chopping it off. It will be easier with the baby comes, but my hair was the longest I've ever had it. Oh well, it's a nice change of pace.

Hope you all are doing well! For those in Minnesota...hope you had a nice weekend with the snow! :)

Love,
Katie

Baby Shower...Vikings Game...

Thanksgiving weekend was a busy one! I think I was quite the trooper (staying up past 9!), but I was absolutely exhausted. Thanksgiving dinner was great. We had so much food! I tried to get a little bit of everything without stuffing myself, but that was easier said than done! Dan's family arrived here on Thanksgiving. Their plane was delayed, but we still had plenty of food for them when they got to the house.


On Saturday, Dan's cousin Christina hosted a baby shower for us. She did an amazing job, and it was a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures...

Cute cake and Delicious!

The whole group! Thanks to all of those who helped out with the shower. Dan and I really appreciate it!

On Sunday, we went to the Vikings/Redskins football game. We got there early to tailgate with his cousins, which was a lot of fun. We don't really get to just hang out much so it was a good time. I was happy that I could still somewhat fit into my Vikings jersey. :)

The tailgating group...

Andy Gerding..."Let's take a funny one!" I have never known him to want to take a picture, so the fact that he said that was pretty hilarious!

We watched the game from a suite. A little different  from what we're used to but still fun. The food in there was great...especially the ham. Haha. I have a thing for carved ham if you weren't aware! Here are a few pictures from the Suite...

Touchdown!! Adrian Peterson!

Thank you to Dan's family for coming to visit and to everyone who made this a great weekend!

By the way, Baby Jonas is still cozy in my belly. Only 3 weeks to go though!

Love,

Katie
