Lane Olivia Dorman

She's here!! I really can't tell you what an awesome week we've had here in the Dorman household. Last Friday 1/11/13 we welcomed Lane Olivia Dorman into the world at 2:26pm. She was a big girl weighing 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and 21 inches long.
Lane scored a 9 on her APGAR test and a 2 on her jaundice test (both really wonderful scores), so we are thrilled she is a healthy baby.
This week we had Luke's sister Abigail come take some pictures for me to use in her birth announcement. Lane was really nice to let us dress her up and move her all over the place in our photo shoot. We basically looked up some cute pictures that professionals take and tried to mimic them. I will say professional baby photographers deserve major props. Here are some pictures of Lane that almost made the birth announcement. Thank you Aunt Abigail!!
I think her eyes are dark green just like her mom and dad, but they look a little gray too, so we'll see later on in life!

Nursery Details

Today is finally my due date....but no baby in sight right now. I'm hoping she'll come today, tomorrow, or on Wednesday my doctor decides that we can send me to the hospital after my appointment with him.
So here are a few more pictures of Lane Olivia Dorman's nursery! We just need a baby now!
The big pillow was made by my MIL. The little pillow was from friend Lisa G. The bench cushion was made by me and my sister Katie.
Breathable bumpers are not cute.
I wanted the safety, but still something cute. My MIL suggested these cute flowers to help spruce things up! She hand made these flowers!
 

Aren't they cute!? We rotated the patterns shown above 
Wooden letters wrapped with yarn that matches the seersucker
A close up of another pillow, but shows the other pattern and the cute ruffle corner detail
Here's to hoping the next pictures I get to show are Lane in her nursery!
