27 Weeks

At 27 weeks along, we only have 13 weeks to go.... whoa! My feet swelled up when I was in Chicago last weekend (ish!). Claire said her feet swelled from a flight while she was pregnant as well... I know they will not get back to normal until the little guy arrives...but it sure is embarrassing having these gigantic feet!

Next Wednesday we are having a second ultrasound...the woman that did our first ultrasound was Miss Crabby-pants U.S.A.! She told us (in her strong Russian accent) that our baby was moving around too much, making it difficult for her to do the measurements! Seriously?! I assumed someone in her position would understand that you can't tell a baby in the womb to hold still for a minute. When it was all over, I asked her if she was able to determine the gender and with her back to us she said, "yea, it's a boy." In my mind, I played it out that the person would say, "Congratulations! It's a boy!" or at least say it with some enthusiasm. So, they offered us a special ultrasound so we can just watch him move around and get some more pictures of him! Yay!

Nick is playing in a National Softball Championship this weekend in Bismarck, ND. I opted to stay home as Grandma Jean is coming up to keep me company and we will play with Claire, Hailey & Jacob!

Weekend in Chicago!

My girlfriend, Katie, and I are heading to Chicago today for our friend, Jon's, wedding (both childhood friends). Katie and I planned this trip last November.... it was going to be a weekend of cocktailing, a Cubs Game and of course the wedding. Now it will be Katie cocktailing with a pregnant lady... either way, it is going to be a blast!

Baby Luke is too precious for words.

25 Weeks

Where did the summer go? It is already mid-August!

My cousin, Claire, and her family moved back to Minnesota! It will be so much fun to have them near so Eli can play with his cousins, Hailey & Jacob!

Nick's family welcomed, Baby Luke, this week. Luke is the son of Nick's brother, Chris, and his girlfriend, Pam. We are very excited that Baby Eli will have another cousin to play with!

We had our 6 month check up this week and everything is going well. We just realized lastnight that we only have 15 weeks to go....wowsers!
