As most of you have heard our precious daughter made her debut yesterday at 10:03am. She weighed in at 7lbs.13oz. and 20inches long. Labor ended up not going totally as planned as they realized that Brooke had a fever and an infection, which resulted in the uterus being infected and Teagan's heart rate increasing. After emergency C-section Teagan was taken and eventually placed into Special Care Nursery where she has received many tests in hopes of figuring out what type of infection she is battling. Brooke's fever and infection have gone away and Teagan continues to improve with more information coming tomorrow on the infection and respiratory issues. The results will determine how long she needs to stay in Special Care...anywhere from a few more days to 10 days. Please continue to pray for our beautiful little Teagers (or Daddy's other nickname for her: Teaggy Bear) and for us as we are possibly facing going home on Monday without her. We will share more of the delivery story and post more updates as we find out more information. We are so grateful to God for blessing us with her and to all of you for your love, support, and prayers!

The Nursery
Tim and I enjoyed making our spare room into the "home" of our soon-to-be bundle of joy! We painted a dresser that we've had for awhile as well as an end table and a bookshelf that we bought at a thrift store. I painted some canvases for wall hangings and Tim and I made her a wall hanging with the verse we dedicated to her (and also had in our wedding!): Ephesians 3:17-20
before...
after!
Baby Shower Blessings!
Tim and I feel so blessed by the outpouring of love and support showered on us over the last couple of months with all of the incredible celebrations thrown in honor of our little one soon to be here! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! We don't take your generosity lightly and can't wait for our baby girl to meet all of you! Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures from all of the showers but here are a few:
Our CABLE group (from church).
Lifelong friends!
Sisterly love!
Generational love! Mom, Me/Baby, Oma!
The Grandma's-to-be!
Tim's mom surprised us with a gift containing baby booties that his Great Grandma "A" had made when Tim was a baby, Tim's baptism sweater, the Snoopy dishes that Tim used when little and Tim's baby blankie (new trim was added)! 
Whatta Man....
Tim worked hard on finishing a room in our basement so that his office and the spare bed could be moved down there in preparation for the nursery upstairs. I am so proud of him and so impressed by his talents! The room turned out fantastic and we are in the process of putting things in place! 
The finished product! 
Tim and our "Big Baby" Bailey!

Tim has been loving his new "side job" as a Park Township volunteer firefighter! He's been out on a couple of calls and comes back grinning from ear to ear...especially when he talks about riding in the fire trucks. :)
Myles' 1st Birthday!
Our nephew, Myles, celebrated his 1st birthday on November 22nd. Here are some pics from the celebration!
