Sydney Dara Jensen is here!!!!

Sorry it took so long to get these pictures on the Blog. I am not only a rookie dad, but a rookie blogger. Stephanie is catching up on some sleep, but I wanted to share some of our pictures with everyone. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to write here, but I hope you all enjoy the pictures of our perfect little girl.....




Here is our view of Balboa Island and Newport Harbor from our Hospital room.......

Another view from our Hospital room.....

One of our last moments as a family of two.....

The family of two is now a family of three.....and Dad is now out-numbered.

Grandpa and Grandma Draeger with their newest grandchild.....

Mom in high spirit's with her new little girl......but honestly, it's impossible NOT to have a smile!

Baby Sydney all wrapped up and as happy as can be......

Holding Dad's hand and representing the Hoag Hospital gear......

Dad gets to perform the first diaper change......(it's gonna take some work)

She really is a super "chill" baby......She's like this all day long.....(hopefully that doesn't change)

Mom and Dad leaving the Hospital with little Sydney.......

I could look at that face all day long......

Giving Sydney her first bath at home......

It's A Girl!

We are having a GIRL!

I realize I'm in trouble when I already have 5 pairs of shoes for her!

Thanks mainly to friends who have already hooked our little girl up and is making her much cooler than her mom! And her first Bikini!

Thanks Aunt Allison! It is seriously the cutest little (and I mean LITTLE) Roxy bikini! I can't wait to see her big belly in it!
Jeff and I are super excited!
Not sure we will know what to do when she FINALLY gets here, but we know we will be lucky to have this little girl!
No name yet, but we are working on it!

Some of my Favorite Girls!

SOME OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER! WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS THROUGH IT ALL AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE FRIENDS FOREVER - THEY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE - I LOVE THEM THAT MUCH! TAMSYN, ALLISON, JANA, & I
Seriously - why did my friend Jana get my new little girl the raddest hat and shoes!?!?

And how talented is Tamsyn!?!? I mean who comes to CA on vacation and sews a blanket??? Not to mention throws a mini baby shower because she lives in TN and won't be able to be at my shower??? I LOVE IT ALL!

ROCK BAND!!
For the record I was posing for the picture - although I really am NO GOOD at the drums, or singing, or guitar. But what I lack in performance I make up for in style. :)

Allison Rock'n the Mic!

Why is Jana on the elliptical? Drum Sticks in Allison's Nose? And me attempting to jump in the air! This picture truly captures all of us perfect!

I LOVE THESE GIRLS! I WISH WE ALL HAD MORE TIME TO HANG MORE!

NOTHING BETTER THAN ACTING LIKE YOUR IN HIGH SCHOOL!

BYU Graduation

It is weird when your baby sister graduates from college. Maybe it's weird because she is class of 09 and I was class of 01? But it was so fun to be back at "the BYU" and get to celebrate graduation. Afterwards we stayed in a cabin in Park City where it snowed all weekend. It was awesome! All of us CA people loved it, but my sister did not find it amusing. Can't say I blame anyone in UT for being sick of winter weather. But it was so fun to be around family! Thanks Ryan and Amanda for getting the cabin - it was a highlight and we are ready to come up again! :)

CONGRATS LITTLE BUDDYLEE!

BABY POWER!

I LOVE this picture! The baby is giving the "BABY POWER" fist!

A much long awaited post, but Jeff and I are very excited to officially announce that we are expecting a baby in October! It has been a long and exhausting road to get here, but we are thrilled! I will allow myself to be really excited once this sickness passes and we know what the sex is! Thank you to all of the friends and family who survived this experience with me! Jeff and I have appreciated the support and love from all! And you know we will be leaning on you come October when our world gets rocked! :) Get excited!!!

12 Birthday Wishes

Here is a video of my Mom and Amanda singing the full 12 last days of 29 song to me today. Everyday they would show up and sing it to me counting down from whatever day it was. It was seriously so fun to see what my mom came up with next - she seriously is a genius!

12 Birthday Wishes - she had my family and close friends all email me today with a birthday wish. They have been so cute! Many of them have made me cry. I seriously have such great friends and families! If anything I know that I am so amazingly blessed to have them in my life.

30 is going to be great!

11 Hugs & Kisses

On the 11th day my family all were together for my super cute nieces 1st birthday party. We also took advantage of the rare moment we were all together in the same place and got a family picture. I thought that I should add it since I got lots of my hugs and kisses from them. Especially from my cute niece and nephews and Jeff of course!
