eleanor allyn lane



we are pleased to announce our daughter eleanor allyn (pronouced allen) lane is here. she arrived on thursday, 15.april.2010 at 7:07pm. eleanor was three weeks early, but healthy weighing 6 pounds 8 ozs.
eleanor was not scheduled to be here until 9.may, but needed to make her debut and we are so happy she did. i had to have a c-section, which was unplanned, but we are all doing well. my parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nieces were able to make it up from arkansas to see the newest member of the parks family. my mother in law, brother and sister in law, and two nieces in kansas were there for the birth as well. it was nice to have a lot of family for the big day.
my mom has been a HUGE help, she was able to drop everything to stay and help me. the csection limited me on my movement and i really needed my mom's help. she has cooked, cleaned, and taken the night shifts a couple of times. i love my mother for helping me as much as she has.
robby and i both are adjusting to early nights, diaper changing, burping, and just staring at our little girl, we think she is pretty cute.
thanks to all of our friends and family who have stopped by, we have enjoyed the time in which you all have taken out of your days to visit miss eleanor.
we are looking forward to fun days and nights watching our little girl grow.

4 weeks to go




What a long time coming! Robby and I have four weeks left until we get to see our little girl. We are both excited and nervous, but as ready as we can be.
The house is all done, including the baby's room. We had lots of help putting together all the items little girl lane is going to need.
I thought the first trimester potty breaks were bad...boy was I wrong. Liquids have been cut off at 6pm now days, just to try and allow me a chance to have a good nights sleep.
All of the grandparents have been great and very helpful. Robby and I want to thank them each for all the items they have gotten for baby girl lane. I am excited for all the items, especially my baby jogger. I think that is going to only make me a stronger runner and baby girl a happy baby with exposure to fitness.
I have to work on my flair on this site according to my blog consultant, amy. so stay tuned as I work on my flair. Until then here are photos of the baby's room.
