Welcome Loralei

Within weeks of our wedding, Roman and I got the biggest surprise of our lives. We were expecting a honeymoon baby! We weren't quite sure what to feel, it was so sudden and unexpected, we were thrilled and terrified all at the same time! As the days passed our feelings turned completely to excitement and we started preparing for our new arrival...

Our first ultrasound at 8 weeks


Gender ultrasound on Christmas Eve 2008
It's a Girl!


22 Week 3D ultrasound



36 Week 3D ultrasound

She has Roman's nose!


The room is all ready to bring her home!


Final ultrasound at the doctor's office


Roman and i took one last date night before Lori's arrival



And one day before her due date, at 330am on May 12 I went in to labor. 14 1/2 hours later at 5:50pm, Loralei Noelle arrived...








Welcome to the world little Loralei.
