21/22 Weeks

Nick has another softball tournament this weekend. While Nick is playing softball, I will be at home painting...I am going to prime the entire basement. Unfortunately, I am going to have to paint over the lovely paint job the owner before us did...I will post pictures later so you can see just how lovely it was/is.


Still feeling great... I am starting to get into the nesting mode. There have been nights were Nick comes home and I am running around organizing things. Then there are nights when he comes home and I am sound asleep! We have been using the Nursery as the "Catch all" room since we moved in...but I am getting antsy about organizing it and ready for baby!

UPDATE: No priming was accomplished this weekend. We decided we will save painting for when it is cooler out...

Month of the Papaya

New Due Date

I have been told not to count on your due date...but our due date has been moved to November 27th (Originally Dec. 5th) which means we are 21 weeks instead of 20 this week. Baby Eli is measuring at 14 oz. Healthy boy!

20 Weeks

Thursday was obviously a big day for us! We are still gushing with excitement about our little boy!

As I have mentioned before, he is quite a mover. It makes it so fun for me. I continue to feel great and am enjoying the entire experience very much!

This weekend I was in Willmar for my 10 year High School reunion! It was great to see so many faces I haven't seen in so long! I managed to stay up until midnight two nights in a row...needless to say I will be taking a nice nap this afternoon.

Week of the Cantaloupe

Boy, oh Boy!!!

We are expecting a Boy!

Eli Timothy Sundsmo

Here are some photos of our little boy!

The circle on the right is his head. I think he is facing the bottom of the photo.

This is Eli looking right at us!

This photo shows his beautiful little spine... pretty amazing!

Here is another of him looking at us...

Week 19

The pants are getting REALLY snug.... but I think I can go another few weeks. I am hoping the 2 pairs I can squeeze into last me until the end of July when I have a free weekend to shop.... I just can't do the hair tie thing....I worry my shirt will ride up and then people will see my pants wide open with my undies exposed to all! Not good! Feeling good... I am becoming more familiar with the baby's movements. Sometimes on my drive to work in the mornings I notice it.... then from 10-Noon and in the afternoons in my commute 4-5-ish. The feeling is still very faint....but noticible. This weekend we will be at the North Shore with Nick's family. I am looking forward to lots of play and nice weather! Next week is the big week...Ultrasound! I am so excited to get to see our baby moving around!

Week of the Mango

Jacob Davis Graham

Here is a picture of Baby Jacob (my cousin Claire's Baby) on the 4th of July....just 2 days old! What a beautiful baby!

Here is a picture of his big sister, Miss Hailey, watching the fireworks.... with one eye!

Week 18

I sound like a broken record...but things continue to go well. As I mentioned in the last update, I am starting to feel pregnant. My stomach is really hard.... well, I mean it usually is really hard naturally from my abs of steal.... but it is even more now.....Anyway, I had a wild and crazy week... friends over for dinner Monday night, Tuesday night at the Liffy for Mel's bday, a second night at the Liffy Wednesday with a former co-worker, Thursday night at Salut on Grand with friends.... whew! Looking forward to hanging out with the family in Willmar and spending time with my husband who I have neglected this week... Happy 4th of July!
