Jack and king kong

6+ months

Jack keeps on growing! He is 6 1/2 months now and here are a few pics from the past couple of months. We have so many of them so it's hard to choose! :) He is getting funnier by the day and makes mommy and daddy so happy. He is eating more solids and doing very well with them. He is not crawling yet but seems to be close! Brian and I had a wonderful Father's and Mother's Day and couldn't be prouder parents.
Jack weighs in at a healthy 21 lbs and 28 in long -this was almost a month ago so most likely he's more than that. :) We had a great time at Craig and Nancy's wedding this month and I sure am enjoying the summer home with Jack. I only hope that I can continue to stay-at-home with Jack come fall. :)
We'll try to be better about posting more pics and updates more often. I tend to post pics to Facebook as well. Life at the Rosebrook house is wonderful, we continue to thank God for all of our blessings. We are so so lucky to have Jack. :)

5 months old!

Jack is 8 weeks! Where has the time gone?

Wow- Jack is 8 weeks tomorrow! Can't believe it! We have been so blessed and have loved every minute of him being in our lives. Though the first days and couple of weeks were tiring and took some getting used to, we wouldn't have traded it for the world. Knowing that a little person depends on you for so much is such an amazing feeling.
Jack is changing everyday! We've really enjoyed his big smiles lately and the coos. I can't help myself but to take so many pictures of him everyday. We've also taken a lot of videos that Brian has posted on picasa. We'll try to post a link on here for those who haven't seen them yet.
He is a big boy! Weighing in at over 13 lbs and 23 in long! The doctor said he looks great! He got his first set of shots last Friday and was such a brave boy.
We'll try to be better about posting more pics and blogging more. Since we haven't written on here for awhile, I think it's impossible for me to write as much as I could about Jack and all the fun we've had. I'd be on here all day and we know I don't have the time for that. :) These next couple of months will bring even more laughter and smiles our way, with many milestones to accomplish.

JackTimothy Rosebrook

Our precious little baby boy was born on Wednesday, December 2 at 1:54 pm. He weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs. 9 oz. and 21 in long. He and his Mom and Dad are doing great and we're all adjusting to life at home very well. Jack likes to be awake more at night but that's OK. :) He brings us so much joy already- we look forward to each new day we have with him. Parenting has its challenges for sure but every parent is right when they say that it's the most rewarding role as well. We'll try to keep updates and new pics on here. Luckily, our families have taken a lot of good pictures for us since we haven't had the time to download them yet. We also have some great videos we'll try to put on here. Thanks to everyone for all of the Congrats, visits, phone calls/texts, etc. We can't wait to share Jack with all of you! :)

Almost time!

So it looks like the baby is very comfy! The doctor today said that not much has changed and she could see me still being pregnant by Sunday, so we're doing an induction tomorrow night! We go in at 8 pm Tuesday night and hope to welcome Baby Rosebrook on Wednesday sometime! The doctor said it could take awhile but a normal delivery is expected! We are so overjoyed and cannot wait!

Please keep us all in your prayers as we look forward to bringing our precious little one into this world.

Love you all,

Lauren and Brian (the very excited parents-to-be!)

40+ weeks!

Ok...no baby just yet. :) We have an appointment with our doctor tomorrow morning (monday) to see if I have made any progress. It looks like she (doctor) wants me to deliver sometime this week though so as not to go past 41 weeks.

We'll try and post another update tomorrow. I hope to be able to go to labor on my own and not have to be induced, but we'll see. It was a great Thanksgiving with Brian's parents and family and my parents and sister. We know we'll see everyone again real soon and can't wait to have them all meet little Baby Rosebrook. Brian and I are anxious but so excited and happy that the baby is cozy in my tummy. :)

39 weeks!

This picture shows that I am ready, huh? We want the baby to come when he/she is ready (just not too late please!). Healthy is all that matters. Family from both sides are coming in for Thanksgiving this week and it would be great to celebrate with the baby too. :)

I had some small contractions last night but they went away when I went to sleep. We'll see! I go to the doctor again tomorrow and hopefully she'll tell us things have progressed. Last week's appt was good but nothing much had changed from the week before.
Hopefully the next post is a picture of Baby Rosebrook, so until next time...

38 weeks!

It's getting down to the final stretch! Hard to believe the due date is less than 2 weeks away, though I feel ready! Having some typical aches and pains and my hands/fingers are constantly asleep and hurting. I really cannot complain though...each little ache and pain is one step closer to meeting our little angel. :)

Until next week...(maybe!)

Today is Brian's birthday too- looks like the baby won't be sharing a b-day with his/her daddy but they'll be close! Happy Birthday, Bri! If you haven't checked it out yet, Brian posted a short video of our baby room below. We just bought a new camcorder- very exciting!

All that's missing is a baby!

37 weeks!

37 weeks and going strong! We'll be posting more pics of the baby room soon! We just bought a HD camcorder with some gift cards and Brian wants to download a video of the nursery so stay tuned...

I have been feeling pretty well. I feel like I've dropped a little and have been experiencing some discomfort...overall good though! We bought the car seat and some other baby essentials this weekend with my sister Leah who came to visit. It was a restful yet very productive weekend!

Until next week...xoxo

Halloween... 36 Weeks.

Hello everyone, we just got back from celebrating Timmy's birthday in Cincy. That should be our last out of town trip until after the baby's born. In case you didn't notice, Timmy's birthday party doubles as a Halloween party, hence the "Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin" costumes. On a side note, I wanted to thank everyone for your support throughout the last 8 months. Lauren and I are very fortunate to be surrounded by such caring friends and family. We can't wait to introduce Baby Rosebrook to all of you.

Work baby shower

Today was my work shower and it was wonderful! My awesome teaching team made it so much fun and I really appreciate it! Baby R. got a lot of nice things from my co-workers! Thanks Carol, Mimi, Crissy, Debby and Linda! Love the Curious George diaper cake and yummy real cake too! :)

35 weeks!

It's already over 35 weeks with just a month to go! Can't believe Baby Rosebrook will be here so soon. :)

Here's another pic of the crib- can't stop taking pictures of it. We've spent the past week washing some of the clothes, blankets, etc. and straightening up the baby room. Just being in there makes me happy. :)

The doctor said everything looks good so far with the baby and myself. Hopefully that means he/she won't be coming too early or too late for that matter. Haha. A Thanksgiving baby would be great though we're happy for whenever he/she decides to come. Until next week...

34 weeks!

This shirt really shows the bump so I thought I'd see what it looked like 2 weeks after the last time I wore it. Man, has the belly grown! :)

I am feeling well though it is getting harder to do simple things, such as pick something up from the ground, get out of bed, etc. Not complaining though because I have loved being pregnant. Little Baby Rosebrook will be here before we know it and we cannot wait to meet him/her!

I have an appointment with the doctor this week and I'm hoping she'll let us know where the baby is positioned. Stay tuned!

33 weeks!

Another great baby shower! This time in Deshler, OH at my mother-in-law's house. She and my sister-in-law JoLynn threw a wonderful shower and Baby Rosebrook received a lot of nice goodies. :)

Thanks to everyone who came! It was a long drive for my parents and sister Leah but they made the drive up as well. The picture of the 4 pregnant ladies is of 2 of Brian's cousins and JoLynn (in the teal color) and myself. Lots of us with buns in the oven! How exciting!

Until next week... :)
