January Showers help bring February Babies....

Today, 4 of J's closets friends (thanks Kelli, Sarah, Jo & G-ma Weber) threw a shower for Ms. WeeWeberette's impending arrival. The shower was just BEAUTIFUL. The food was wonderful. The friends and family were plenty (thanks to all of those who braved the weather and also the many who sent well-wishes) and the goodies were even more plentiful. Our little girl is gonna be the most stylish, loved little one this side of the Mississippi. We are truly touched to be blessed with so many fabulous people in our lives. Our little girl, too, is one very lucky lady! Please enjoy just a few of the many pictures from the day.

Now, we just sit back, try to relax and stockpile hours of sleep seeing as how we may not be seeing much of it in just a short time. The countdown has now begun: Less than one month 'till D-Day (Delivery Day). Just think, the next post will have pics of our new, happy family!

Love,
D & J

Friends, Festivities, Family & Fun

Happy New Year to all!!! Let's start by saying that we wish you nothing but a safe, happy and prosperous year in 2009. We know that we're looking forward to it (esp. a certain new beginning in February :-)

We also hope that you all survived the holidays. Ours were filled with Friends, Festivities, Family & Fun.

During the holiday season, we were blessed to receive a visit from Andi, Andrea & her husband, Mark. J & Dan have been great friends with Andi and Andrea since college, so it was great to have them back in Dayton and dine at the oh-so-UD-friendly Golden Nugget! There's nothing like catching up and sharing some laughs with good friends over greasy diner food! :-) We can't wait to get together (this time w/ Little Weberette) again soon.

Speaking of new additions, Dan and J were delighted to discover a new stocking hung by the chimney with care by Great Grandma, Grandma & Grandpa Weber when they arrived to celebrate on Christmas Eve. Our Little Angel's little stocking is just too cute, and we can't wait to fill it with goodies next Christmas. Thanks, Webers!

The holidays were capped off by a visit to Indianapolis. While there, J & D got to visit w/ J's best and oldest friend, Mindy, her husband, Tom, and their two new, wonderful twins.

We were also blessed to be able to visit with family in Indianapolis and Brazil, IN. J's aunt, Margie, was in from California and J's brother Matt, and his wife, Courtney, are now back from their travels abroad.

All in all, it was a good holiday season. Now, we are just gearing up for the home-stretch. The Baby Shower is in 10 short days (stay tuned for an update after that), and then ITS BABY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We love you all and hope you're doing well.

Happy New Year!
D & J

Seasons Greetings!

Happy Holidays, from the Webers! We wish you all nothing but good tidings and joy this holiday season. We're doing well here in Dayton. Baby classes are almost done (J & D can now swaddle w/ the best of 'em), the nursery is nearing completion (just a few final touches) and we're gearing up for the Baby Shower. We've included the picture that we sent out w/our Christmas Cards this year, as well as a very special pic of our Little One and the love we already feel for her. It's hard to believe that, in just a few short weeks, we'll be posting pictures of us HOLDING our Little Weberette! How exciting. Much love to all of you, J&D

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words....

Hello, All. We apologize for not updating our blog sooner. Things have been a bit wild and crazy around The Weber Inn. Much has happened since our last post. Too much to sum up in one entry. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so, without further adieu, we give you the nursery (still a bit to complete & sorry some are blurry)during and after as well as the new SUV we purchased so our little girl can travel home in style.

Happy Holidays, All.

Love,
D&J

Cider, Gliders, Godmothers & Football...Oh My

The past weeks have been very busy for Mommy & Daddy Weber. We have registered for all of the goodies that Our Little Angel will need when she arrives (Babies 'R Us & Target), bought her a nursery suite, celebrated our 3 year anniversary, visited a cider/pumpkin farm, put together her glider (thanks, Daddy), and had a visit from Little One's awesome Godmother, Cindy.

Dan's wonderful anniversary present to J was a glider for the nursery. It arrived last week, and Dan had it up that very night. J is looking forward to many late night and early morning feedings in her comfy new chair. Next up on the nursery front, moving the old office furniture out, picking up the new nursery furniture, and beginning to paint. Keep checking the website for updated nursery pics.

The beginning of October marked D & J's first visit to a cider/pumpkin farm south of town. Although the weather was unseasonably warm, the two had a relaxing day. Dan picked up some Cider to make his own version of J's favorite carbonated beverage, Hornsby's (to be consumed AFTER Feb :-), and J got to sit amongst the pumpkins and do a little window shopping.

Another great event that occurred was the visit of our Little Girl's Godmother, Cindy, this past weekend. Cindy has known Dan & J since their college days at UD, and is also a fellow Steelers fan (sorry...Daddy....you're outnumbered). Cin got Little One her 1st official Steelers cheer-leading outfit, and received plenty of sticky kisses from her little 'nephew', Angus, in return. We're so glad you came to visit, Cindy!

That's about all for now. J's got another Dr's appt. at the beginning of Nov, so we'll be updating the site very soon. We hope each and every one of you is doing well and enjoying the cool weather.

Much Love,
D & J

Beautiful Colors of Fall.....

....consist of pink, green, black, orange and gold. At least those are the beautiful colors of Fall as far as the Webers are concerned. Yes. The weather is cooling down. The football season is heating up and the leaves are bursting with color. And there is plenty of color to be seen at The Weber Inn these days.

The first major colors to be seen are the lovely shades of cream and moss green that make-up THE BRAND NEW BATHROOM! That's right. After a lot of hard work (and...okay...let's admit it...a teensy bit of nagging from The Wife) Dan finished the bathroom. And, it is gorgeous. No words can describe it. It is beautiful, and Dan can take a good deal of pride in a job well done.

The completion of the bathroom now leaves us open to decorate and furnish our beautiful baby girl's room (no, still no name yet). We've picked out a color scheme (a very light green with a mid-wall border of light and dark pink squares) as well as a theme (lambs). We've been to The Big House (Babies R Us), and have priced out Little WeeWeberette's new furniture. We'll be returning to The Big House, as well as Target, next weekend to register. Dan is just thrilled that he gets his second shot at The Gun (he had too much fun using it when we registered for our wedding).

Speaking of our Little One, she is just growing right along. J's appt. today went very well. Little Girl Weber was very calm with a heartbeat of 153. She got a bit squirmy when the tech tried to find her heartbeat, though, and Mommy got quite a kick out of hearing her try to flip and flop away from the pressure on the belly.

And, squirm she does! Yes. We have movement. She's not moving all that much, nor is Daddy able to feel her from the outside yet, but Mommy is really getting used to, and loving, the motion.

Mommy is also getting used to her expanding belly! With the exception of having a bit of trouble finding a comfortable sleeping position, J is really "growing" into her role as a glowing pregnant woman. In addition to looking awesome in some wonderful hand-me-downs that her friend, Jaime Turner, gave her (Thanks so much, Jaimo), J and her mother-in-law had a wonderful time shopping for some cool and comfy prego clothes. (Yes. JC Weber actually had FUN shopping...someone keep an eye out for the 4 Horsemen!)

Other than that, we've just been loving Fall. JC has set up her Halloween village for all to admire on the front porch, and JC and Dan are OD'ing weekly on football. This is where the black and orange (Halloween...and The Bengals) and black and gold (Steelers) come in to our Fall Color Scheme.

Enjoy the pics of the bathroom, and J's new look. She's only gonna get bigger.

We hope you're all well and gearing up for the holiday season.

Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice.....

...is exactly what we know our LITTLE GIRL is made of! That's right. We found out today that we are the proud expectant parents of what is going to be a strong, independent beautiful baby girl.

We're right on the money when it comes to our due date (2/7/09). Our little girl was just moving and shaking up a storm this morning. She yawned. She gave Mommy & Daddy a thumb's up sign, and she even gave us a great profile of her whole body. This was truly a pretty awesome experience for Mommy & Daddy to have.

Little Girl Weber's heart, kidney's and circulation all look good. Her bone structure and posture is also right on. All in all, she is the most beautiful little girl we've ever seen! :-)

We could not be more thrilled. Our head's are spinning with all of the exciting and new things we will being doing with this little princess. She'll be the perfect combination of Mommy and Daddy. She is a wonderful gift already!

In other news, we had a wonderful time in Florida. We spent a relaxing week in Siesta Key with Eric and Susie. We've posted some pictures of this great time (you can even see J's little 'bump' beginning to show), as well as the first pics of our baby girl, for your viewing pleasure.

We are hoping that each and every one of you are well.

More to come.

D & J
