A major key, never panic. Don’t panic, when it gets crazy and rough, don’t panic, stay calm. Lion! Hammock talk come soon. The weather is amazing, walk with me through the pathway of more success. Take this journey with me, Lion!
Callie & Nathan will soon welcome into the world a tiny half-Callie, half-Nathan human hybrid creature. We don't know much about it! Boy, girl, werewolf — we'll all learn together on or around November 18.
In the meantime, below you'll find some ways to help us prepare for this terrifying adventure:
Callie is a Brauel and Nathan is a Huening. But which name to give the baby? How about... a totally new one?! We need your help figuring out what our new family surname should be.
Suggest a nameBabies don't need much! And neither do we. So we don't have a registry for stuff, but we would very much like help paying for a doula to help with birth and postpartum as well as a local cloth diaper cleaning service!
Donate to D&DBlock your calendar! Our 2024 party extravaganza will celebrate 4 major milestones we expect to achieve in the next year:
+ The welcoming of this tiny human into the world
+ Our 10-year wedding anniversary
+ The (eventual) finish of our new earthen strawbale home
+ And the completion of our tiny home community!
Mark your calendars for October 12, 2024.
We are new to this and while extremely excited know that we have a lot to learn! We welcome words of wisdom, inspirational stories, advice, or just a silly comment to help get us through those first few rough nights.
Leave your messageWe are already reading and singing to our little cabbage! And are eager to hear your favorite childhood stories, too.
