Belly Alert!


It has come to our attention that the "belly shot" is very important to those of you who live far away, so for all of you, here I am today! Only one month to go.

Nursery Update!

Well, the nursery has been an ongoing source of joy/stress for Nathan and I. For those of you who cannot just swing by, here is the latest...

This is Brody's crib and his pal the giraffe. Dale (Clare, Jane & Sydney's grandmother) tells me all giraffes are named Stanley, so meet Stanley!

Here is the changing table and his yet-to-be named Monkey.

Here is the bookshelf. Brody is going to be a reader, like his mom!

Finally, here is the infamous rocking chair. After MONTHS (literally four months) of agony, the rocker is in place and covered in the correct fabric. I am so happy with the way it turned out.
Many of you have had questions about the animals on the walls. The giraffe and monkey are vintage wallpaper that have been laser cut into animal shapes. I love the way grandma's ugly old floral wallpaper makes really cute spots for a modern, hip giraffe! Nathan and I had a "fun" evening with wallpaper glue and a brush getting these critters on the walls. Hopefully one day Brody will appreciate the effort...or at least you guys will like it!

There are just a few finishing touches left...some pictures that need to be framed and hung, etc. and then we will be all finished. Thanks to everyone who gave us advice throughout this process!

Introduction to Brody

Welcome to our blog, focused on the life of Brody Reece Jennings. This is the perfect opportunity for us to keep all of our friends and family afar up-to-date on the latest happenings with Brody.

Megan is now in her 35th week, which means if Brody arrives on time...only five weeks to go. Brody's heartbeat at last check was a healthy 150 beats per minute. Our next appointment is 12/27.

Brody's already got a wardrobe bigger than most thanks to showers in both Michigan and Texas. Some pictures from the Michigan shower are below. Also, don't forget to vote in the poll by New Year's Day.
