Loberg Family

Siena Pina Loberg

2011-04-13T21:07:00.006-04:00

Siena Pina Loberg was born on April 12, 2011 at Headwater Hills Healthcare Centre in Orangeville. She weighed 9 lbs 4ozs and measured 22.5 inches. Luke and Malaya were so excited to finally meet their little sister. Jeff and I feel truly blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy baby. We can't wait for everyone to meet the new addition to our family. Here are a few pictures of Sienas first couple of days. See you all soon!

Malaya - 3 Mths old

2008-11-11T14:22:00.009-05:00

Hi everyone,

Here are a few pictures of Malaya at 3mths old. She is a very layed back baby, until approx 7pm. Once the bedtime routine is started, she gets that look in her eye. The "I know what time it is...and I don't want to go to sleep" look. She is definitly a night owl like her dad. She doesn't want to miss a thing and likes to be around the action.

Luke is doing great. He often says "Mali is getting big...she can play cars soon?" He loves his little sister and is a great helper around the house.

We are all doing great and miss you all! Looking forward to the holidays!

Malaya 4 Weeks Old

2008-09-02T17:18:00.010-04:00

Hi Everyone,

Well Malaya is growing. This is her at 4 weeks old. At 3 weeks she was 10 lbs 6 ozs and was 23 inches long. This little girl loves to be held and falls asleep in your arms, but as soon as you put her down her pretty blue eyes pop open. Malaya does not like car rides (which most babies love), but adores her little brother and his oh so gentle hugs.

Luke is doing well and loves his little sister so much. He is a proud little brother who enjoys showing off his new sister to all of his friends and relatives.

We can't wait for everyone to meet her!!

MALAYA CLARA LOBERG

2008-07-17T22:25:00.002-04:00

Malaya Clara Loberg was born on July 17th, 2008 at 10:25am. She weighed in at 8 lbs 11oz and measured 20 inches long. Our midwife Naomi Brooks was incredible. Her coaching and support made for a smooth labour and delivery. We couldn't have asked for anything more....Thank-you Naomi!

Mom, Dad and Big Brother Luke are very happy and can't wait for you all to meet the new edition to our family.

Here are a few pictures. We will be downloading more soon. Stay tuned.

Luke's 1st Birthday

2007-08-14T21:15:00.000-04:00

Centre Island

2007-06-03T22:44:00.000-04:00

Today we took Luke to Centre Island. He was so excited when we got on the ferry and was even more excited to look through the window at the water and the boats.

It was a beautiful spring day. On the island we took Luke to the petting zoo, let him splash around in the kids water play area, drove a big tractor,and he had a little fish with his dad.

Luke had an awsome time. We hope to go back again this summer.

FIRST DAY AT THE PARK

2007-05-18T00:03:00.000-04:00

There is a beautiful park by the Lake just a 5 min walk from our condo. It was Luke's first time at a park and he loved every minute of it.

He also had his first taste of a popsicle. You can see from the picture that it wasn't clear if he liked it or hated it.
We are looking forward to spending the summer outside with Luke for many more new adventures:)

What a Great Week!

2007-03-23T23:27:00.000-04:00

Thanks Pat, Jeannette and Layla for coming to visit us in Toronto. We had an amazing week! Luke was so happy to have company and was so excited every morning to wake up to Layla saying "Good morning Luke". The two of them had a great time together. Luke thought Layla was so funny. He loved watching her run around the condo and followed her in his walker every chance he got.

Luke is now 8 and a half months old and is such a good little boy. He enjoys his meals, loves music, and has just started pulling himself up in the crib. We practice walking everyday and he is really doing great. Crawling, on the other hand, Luke is not quite interested in. We think he is definitly going to walk before he crawls. Gramma Sheree says that's exactly what his daddy did when he was Luke's age. Like father like son.

2007-02-19T08:53:00.000-05:00

Luke is now 7 months old and weighs 23lbs. He has now mastered the skill of walking in his walker which he absolutely loves. He zips around the house, loving the freedom to move around from room to room on his own. Crawling, on the other hand, is something we're still working on. He's managed to push his chest and little butt up, but not yet at the same time. I think by the end of this month he'll be on his way. Time to baby proof the house! We are all doing really good and looking forward to the warm weather. It's been pretty cold here these past few weeks so we haven't been outdoors much. We are counting the days for when uncle Pat, auntie Jeannette and cousin Layla come to visit. Only 2 more weeks!! Whoohooo! See you all soon.

NEW YEARS EVE!

2007-01-31T20:59:00.000-05:00

5,4,3,2,1...Happy New Year!!! Luke was wide awake as we counted down to the New Year. This picture was taken at 12:00am on January 1, 2007 in Beaverlodge, Alberta. Uncle Pat and Auntie Jeannette had a New Years Eve party at their house where we celebrated Luke's first New Years with a house full of family and friends. Grandma Sheree and Grandpa Roger were there by Luke's side when the clock struck 12:00. It was a wonderful 2006 and we are looking forward to a great 2007.

Luke's 1st Christmas

2007-01-16T20:51:00.000-05:00

Luke had a great first Christmas! We all woke-up bright and early on Christmas morning all eager to start the day. As we made our way into the livingroom there was one present under the tree that wasn't there the night before. Luke must have been a good boy this year because Santa Claus had found his way into our condo and left Luke a beautifully wrapped present. He was just as excited to open it as we were to watch him. I had my camera ready as he pulled off the paper. With dad's help he managed to unwrap an animal choo-choo train. Luke loved it!

We spent the morning at home unwrapping gifts and then headed to nonna and nonno's house for lunch. The house was filled with aunts, uncles and cousins. Luke had a great time playing with his new toys, listening to music and watching everyone laugh and party. He was exhausted by the end of the night, but sure did have an amazing day. A Christmas that his mom and dad will never forget.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

2006-11-02T01:02:00.000-05:00

Luke Roger had a great 1st Halloween. Me, Luke and uncle Michael visited a pumpkin patch on October 30th where there was a petting zoo, a corn maze, and many activities for children. It was a beautiful sunny day.

On Halloween night we dressed Luke up as a pumpkin and took him door to door to visit family. Jeff had a great time collecting the treats for Luke knowing well Luke wouldn't be able to eat them....hmmmm ??? It was a fun night and Luke looked so cute in his costume!

First Family Trip

2006-11-02T00:03:00.000-05:00

It was a beautiful week in Alberta visiting family and friends. Luke Roger had an amazing time spending the week with Grandma Sheree and Grandpa Roger and had a wonderful time meeting his Granny's Clara and Shorty, as well as all of his uncles, aunties and cousins. While we were there our nephew David James was baptized and I was so excited to be David's Godmother. It was beautiful ceremony and beautiful day! Thanksgiving was also a great day with turkey, stuffing, all the trimmings and most importantly a big table with smiling faces all around. It was awsome to be home for the holiday. It was our first family trip and Luke was a great traveller. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again in December when we make our way there to ring in the New Year!

Baptism - Sunday, September 17, 2006

2006-09-21T23:05:00.000-04:00

Hey guys! It's Jeff signing in with a little on Luke's babtism. We started out on Sunday morning with a bit of sunshine. This was so wonderful, since we spent the last two weeks facing off with very unsettled weather. Luke must have known the big day was here when he decided to sleep in past his usual 7:30am. It's funny to see Luke out sleep one of us in the am.! Sean and I made our way out of town to pick up uncle Alec for the occasion the night earlier. It was nice to wake up and have a couple of my own family members hanging around the condo. We all got cleaned and caffined and in true fashion Daniela had Sean and I suited up for 9:30am. Lisa showed up smiling with a brand new suit for Luke to wear on his big day! Together, Sean and Lisa dressed
him up and with a quick"cheers" we were on our way to meet Father Mick at St. Patricks church downtown. There was another baby named Michael being baptized at the same time. The baptism went wonderful. Luke wasn't fussy at all until the last twenty minutes of the baptism.
There we stood at the front of the church with a very unhappy camper! I remember thinking,"God, can't you do something for him". Right then, Mick put the show on hold and sent Daniela backstage to top Luke up so we could finish the deal with a happy baby. When she
came back Fr. Mick humored everyone when he mentioned,"all I did was say he really does look like Roger"! Well, we all finished with a cheer and a smile and the day turned out to be just awsome! We all met back at the condo for some snacks and cold ones. For dinner we went to the Old Mill up the street and spent some time laughing, eating and just having a great time.
It was so nice to have Kristy, Roy and Tristan around for the week. We had a blast watching Tristan run around with a smile on most of the time. Luke just turned his head side to side watching every move he made. Tristan never beat Luke up at all (I think they really liked each other)
Hope everyone's doing great!
Look forward to seeing you guys at thanksgiving! Jeff, Daniela and Luke Roger!

Introducing: LUKE ROGER LOBERG!!!

2006-07-03T00:17:00.000-04:00

JULY 1, 2006
2:40am - Canada Day!
8lbs 12oz.

Hi everyone,

On July 1, 2006 - CANADA DAY @ 2:40am Luke Roger Loberg was born. 8lbs 12oz.
He was 2 weeks late. My expected date of delivery was June 19th; however, that day came and went. On June 27th I went in for a scheduled ultra sound appointment at St. Joe's for a stress test. They sent me home and said that everything was fine and that the baby wasn't ready to come out yet. I met with midwife Anne who scheduled another ultra sound appointment for me on June 30th for another stress test. Well at that appointment St. Joe's sent me home again and said that I needed to keep waiting. You could imagine my anxiety at this time. As soon as I got home from the hospital I got a call from Anne who told me that my amniotic fluid was a little low and she wanted to run another stress test on me. She told me to bring all of my bags just in case they decided to induce me. After an hour of checking the baby's heartbeat on the monitor Dr. Singh (he was awsome), suggested they break my water to get some contractions going. I discussed this with Anne and she agreed this would be the best choice instead of waiting until Monday for my scheduled induction. I couldn't believe that this was it!!! I called Jeff at work and he was sooo excited.

Dr. Singh broke my water at 2pm. I walked around St. Joe's until 4pm...No Contractions came. At that point they need to hook me up to all of the monitors to get contractions going. I needed to be put on an IV, the drip...Oxytocin (is this the correct spelling....?), and a monitor for the baby's heartbeat. It was then suggested to me to get an epidural because basically I would be restricted to the hospital bed. I decided to wait it out to see how I would feel. Well by 11:00 pm I decided to go ahead and get the epidural. My contractions were 70 sec long and 30 seconds apart. I was 6 cm dialatd. Anne and I discussed getting the drug again because I was in pain and I was unable to sit on the ball, walk around, or even stand-up out of the bed. I had to lye flat on my back or side which was pretty difficult and painful. I couldn't practice all of the exercises we learned in prenatel class. It was pretty disheartening :(

I ended up getting the epidural at 11:30pm in which I immidiatly felt better. I started pushing at 12:30am with Anne delivering the baby. By 1:30am Dr. Singh came into the delivery room and said that he needed to take over to get the baby out. He had forceps near by. Oh my God...at that point I was determined to push this baby out. I asked for a mirror...which I highly recommed to everyone...and pushed the baby out at 2:40am....no forceps needed. It was so amazing. Anne was by my side the whole time. She was incredible. And Jeff was unbelieveable through the whole thing. I couldn't have done it without him by my side.

Jennifer the breathing really helped. Near the end "DOWN" and "OUT" were heard throughout the St. Joe's hallway. And breatfeeding is going great. Thanks for all the knowledge :)
Luke Roger Loberg is one week old today. He is now 9lbs 1 oz...already!! Jeff and I are so over joyed:)

Good Luck to everyone in prenatel class.

Daniela, Jeff & Luke Loberg.

DUE DATE!!

2006-06-20T23:49:00.000-04:00

Well my Due Date has come and gone. It is now June 20th and I am officially one day over due. Jeff and I are patiently waiting for the little one to arrive. I have been feeling a little crampy but all in all I'm doing ok. Tomorrow we have an appointment with our midwife to check up on my progress. Hopefully it won't be too much longer....I am really starting to feel uncomfortable with this big belly. We will keep you posted.

BABY SHOWER!

2006-05-07T21:17:00.000-04:00

COUNTING DOWN!

2006-04-30T22:36:00.000-04:00

Greetings from Taronna everyone! How about them Oilers eh?! Here's the latest

from bambino-ville! I look pretty good for coming off a 5 day bender on the pacific, eh?

Anyway, Daniela and I are happy to let you know the due date has changed from the 26th

of June to the 19th!! Now, don't everybody make plans to come over from Alberta all at

the same time! We'll have to work out an itinerary for the months to follow! However, there

is room to stay if anyone would in fact(no kidding around) like to make a trip. Don't ask uncle

Trev about the accomodations, they have changed dramatically since he came by last spring!

Hope to here from everyone sooner than later! We miss you all-ways and look forward to chalk-

ing up another new member on the Loberg/Iantria family trees! Doesn't Daniela look great!!!!!

VACATION!!

2006-04-21T13:34:00.000-04:00

I went for a much needed vacation to New York to visit my pregnant cousin Diana. This picture was taken on March 18th right before I hopped in the car for the long drive back to T.O. We are due the same time...the last week of June. We were both 25 weeks when this picture was taken and we were both feeling pretty good :) By looking at this pic, everyone thinks I am having a boy and Diana is having a girl.....BUT can anyone really tell?? Neither of us have found out the sex of the baby. It's going to be a SURPRISE!!

Belly Picture!!

2006-02-20T13:29:00.000-05:00

Ok..well I wasn't sure if I wanted to post a picture of my belly for all to see, but Jeff said he would Flash if I would Flash..LOL!! So here we are. This is Jeff and I at 22.5 weeks.
Jeff had a couple of Captains in him so it wasn't that hard to get him to pose for the picture :)

Level II Ultrasound

2006-02-20T13:10:00.000-05:00

Ok now this is crazy!! I went for my Level II ultrasound on Feb 2, 2006. I was surprised when the woman preforming the ultrasound on me asked if I would like to see a 3D picture of the baby. Of course I said "Yes" and couldn't believe my eyes. The baby is 20 weeks in this picutre and the sex of the baby is not shown. I think it looks like a boy...as a matter of fact everyone who sees it thinks it looks like Jeff. Funny eh?
The baby's hands are webbed and he/she is not completely formed yet. It was a very exciting day :)

ANNOUNCEMENT

2006-02-20T12:48:00.000-05:00

On October 22, 2005 I found out that I was pregnant. Jeff and I were both very excitied.
After a long first trimester of being nauseous and tired, I am currently in my 22ed week and feeling really good. The due date is June 26th...I am half way there!
